This is not a Constitutional issue. This is a purely legal decision based on a federal statute passed by Congress.

Constitutional issues are somewhat of a mix of the political and legal. SCOTUS tries to be apolitical, but by its nature it can override Congress on Constitutional matters, and therefore it's at least somewhat political.

But cases like this are legal. Political credit and blame for this decision should go to Congress, not SCOTUS.

Of course, those interested in the legal process itself may give credit or blame to the justices for their legal positions.
> So looking forward not to have to take the car to any kind of mechanic at all except for brakes and wiper fluid.

You won't even need to go to a mechanic for brakes.

Regen breaking means your brake pads are rarely actually used and will probably last a million miles.

AFAIK, the only maintenance item you'll likely be taking an EV to is tires.

Chicago is where all the Class I (i.e., big railroads) meet: UP, BNSF, CN, CP, KCS, CSX, NS. There are several railroad yards in the city and surrounding environments, so much so that the rail lines are really visible on Google Maps who otherwise loves to deemphasize rail routes.
>This is akin to saying that an author could reasonably "unpublish" an article or a book because they somehow retain the ability to control dissemination of every copy of thier work in perpetuity

No, it is not the same. An author of a published book has intention to share it with the public and understands how the system works: you would not expect from this person to make any assumptions about the right to recall all the copies. An author of a post in social media may not recognize the fact, that the actual audience is beyond what he or she expected and that he or she is not in control of the access to this publication. The intentions and expectations are very different, and it is not the fault of social media users that they did not understand how to protect their privacy when living the digital life.

The example with "public forum" is a good one here, because speaking in public offline (e.g. having a conversation with friends or addressing a crowd) does not imply that the exact words or other details will be remembered and recorded, on the contrary, without special effort taken by participants any conversation is not recorded by default. That said, even if they are formally in their right and logically it makes sense that whatever is posted with public visibility should be expected to be copied and backed up, those archives are still attacking the privacy and should be regulated by law. There's much more public interest in that than in preserving some tweets, because they may appear important for history. After all, we spent thousands of years without recorded evidence of what people talked about and we are doing just fine.
Probably because nobody except police carries guns (in particular pistols) here at all. Whether concealed or not. You just can't get a carry permit. There is no such thing.

The only way you can get a pistol is for sports shooting and you must carry it in a closed case all the time, and it must be to/from the shooting range.

Rifles are easier to get for hunting but of course this is not what people carry regularly in the US.

But more generically: In Europe we have nothing like the second amendment. This is what makes even the gun-hostile places in the US less gun-hostile than Europe, because they still have to abide by the constitution.
Useless on mobile
No. Actually it’s the extreme difficulty of making coherent light at short wavelengths and, if you succeed, material absorption. If you could overcome these, the quantum effects “help” you, because you have succeeded in making and guiding light at a smaller wavelength, hence miniaturization, which is everything.
> Even QuickBasic didn't have to do that.

QuickBasic is from 1990. ECMA-55 is from 1978, and even then it's explictly “Minimal BASIC”, not a remotely comprehensive language in that family even for the time.

Well, then you had a fair share of what you need as a freelancer, for sure. Out of curiosity: why did you make the switch? Is it worth it, as opposed to working as a solo/freelancer PM?

As an engineer, I feel most of the value I bring is not actually writing code but managing the whole process and consulting the client on what to do and how to do. (So product and project management, sometimes with discussing the business side, agile/lean coaching. I.e. explaining that we don't want to build all features that sound cool, don't want to build every feature to its best version for a start, etc.)

Though I'm not sure if I could make a living trying to sell this on its own (as opposed to doing it as a full stack engineer and tech lead).
I think there is a step between actively monitoring and blind trust, where you build trust through a relationship.

I don’t see what’s disingenuous about it? Apple are basically saying that they haven’t put in any technical barriers to stop Microsoft from porting Windows to the M1, and that Microsoft are free to do so if they want.
My 3D modeller is colourblind. His day job is working for a big mother of a sourcing company that has no idea about this challenge. We work together by using codes for colours. It forces me to be very specific on designs and I think it makes him a better modeller because he sees form first.

Fyi apparently mark zuckerberg is colourblind too, hense blue logo. Good luck amigo!

3 innovation tokens? The supply is fixed for a long while? People on HackerNews of all places buying that?

It's plain wrong. Innovation is good for any kind of organization, if done properly. What the author should focus on is the lack of agility that prevents companies from experimenting and failing quickly. It's not the innovative technology that gets you in the end, it's your inability to evaluate/adopt/discard fast. Granted, that ability is hard to find in large-ish organizations, but to willingly limit your innovation sounds like a recipe for a slow death. It's like a gentleman boxer from the 19th century limiting himself to just jab, cross, hook entering a modern MMA fight.
Good to know. Otherwise crushing garlic in onion is a very time-efficient when you're doing food :). But perhaps if you heat it it's not much of a problem.

Haskell is certainly more "beneficial" than any other language I've seen to date for certain types of programs

Could you unpack that? I'd love to hear what types of programs Haskell phenomenal at, in comparison to others.
A proffessor once told me never to believe the physical limits. He mentioned how a wavelength of light was the smallest we could etch silicon. He then mentioned that today (at the time of the class) we were etching with 1/20th the wavelength of light.

He then said that he could not explain how the new 1/20th of of a wavelength drawing works because new physics had been learned, and it had not been in his physics book.
But they also vary in size significantly, so it wouldn't be practical to store 8 different types of atoms. I think adjusting the spin state of one atom for one bit might be the limit.
That depends on how you look at it. In my philosophy, it is close to axiomatic that free exchanges leave both parties better off. Therefore, any commitment strategy which increases the number of exchanges is a win. If everybody simultaneously implemented it, it would just be a bigger win. The most obvious way to disagree would be to say that the psychic transactional cost involved in rejecting an exchange swamps the value of increased trade, which is almost exactly the pathology the therapy seeks to go after.

The world is an eighth grade dance writ large, where he's too shy and she's too afraid of being forward, and both parties are a wee bit worse off for having been alone in the corner when they could have been dancing.
Interesting story. But I wonder about the rest of these kids' lives.

Did their putting in double the amount of time practicing affect their performance on the rest of their schoolwork? Were they more stressed out, and did that affect their health? Were their social lives adversely affected? If they were interviewed now, would they say that everything they sacrificed to win that competition was worth it?

Holy hell, Spotify. I've been using it a lot up to about 4-5 years go, both desktop and mobile. It was a fine app, I used it a lot to listen to music during commute. I curated some 20 personal playlists, and a bunch of shared ones too. But after I didn't need to commute anymore, I stopped using it.

Fast forward to January, my wife learned there are some good nursery rhymes on Spotify, and she installed the app on a spare phone. Few days ago, she was busy and asked me to play the Spotify playlist she usually plays to our kid. I couldn't do it. The current UI is completely inscrutable to me. All I could do is find a few album covers that, upon tapping, led to something that perhaps was a playlist, perhaps a "radio", perhaps something else. In 5 minutes of focused attempt, I couldn't find a way to list what songs are a part of the playlist I selected.

So I ultimately played something that looked like the right playlist, it played a song I recognized, then it played an ad, then it turned out to be a "radio".

It's rare that bad UX triggers a strong emotional reaction in me these days, but that did it. What the fuck, Spotify?
I think you nailed it.

To most people (i.e. the majority of the world who doesn't read tech regurgitation) there has been no dramatic shift in software quality from Apple. There have been some hiccups with cloud services or OS updates that affected a lot of people, but these got resolved and Apple still ranks very highly in customer satisfaction.

Good luck striking deals with every copyright collecting agency.
Be that as it may, the unfortunate thing is that, perhaps due to some skewed sense of propriety, a lot of Singaporeans actually agree with the arrest, rather than seeing the video as food for thought at best or an ignore worthy adolescent rant at the worst.
The metro in Tokyo is really expensive though. It costs almost 1000 yens for a one way trip from the suburb of Tokyo to central Tokyo.
That would decrease the amount of people correctly identified. And you're also under the assumption that the misclassification of people is a random phenomenon. In the real world that wouldn't be the case and some type of blood may get misclassified all the time by the system.
Oh I've been looking at MercadoPago too, didn't know they don't allow charging US cards (not an option then).
>What else could we have done?

We could have engaged with the Japanese in the Pacific and let Europe duke it out and weaken themselves to nothing. Then rolled into Europe with tanks and taken over the whole world? Seriously. I'm not a historian, but I'm pretty sure we could have taken a very different route in WWII. If we really lacked morality, why didn't we just take over the World after WWII, or force the countries we helped out into terrible economic deals like China is doing in Africa. The Marshall plan was charitable.
> I never use drives from the same batch

Note that it wouldnțt help in this instance, as the bug is caused by the amount of time a drive was running. Different manufacturers would work, yes.
"The big ideological divide in families (usually between generations) is a serious symptom of our inability to really communicate and compromise. In large part these ideological groupings are meaningless and inconsequential."

I think this is only true in very specific circumstances. Ideological divide can also mean disowning your child for being gay, which is why among homeless youth there's a disproportionate amount of LGBTQ children and why the concept of "found families" is very relevant to the LGBTQ community. Certain families also will disown or withdraw from any member who doesn't follow religious teachings.

Often times ideological differences is quite meaningful when it results in the abuse/neglect of vulnerable family members.

> You usually get the black box upon recovery, which doesn't save the passengers, but does get you all the valuable data.

And recovery is only possible if you can find the wreckage. MH370 is still missing, and as such the cause of its crash is unknown. If we had real-time GPS monitoring of airliners, chances are we'd have wreckage in-hand.
While the disease is horrible, risk mitigation must be done with science and statistics, not one-off emotional narratives.

Some of the remedies which are being proposed for the pandemic would have human costs demonstrably higher than the virus itself.

I have seen more and more smart people adopting black and white attitudes that this is humanity's only risk, while numerically it is merely comparable to several other risks American's embrace daily including driving and gun violence.

My only wish is that policymakers set scientific priorities. Shutdown cruise ships and airplanes before schools. Manufacture tests and bailout individuals before worrying about banks etc.
Illiterate politicians can still survive if they keep competent people in their surrounding. Our president pushed out the relevant people from national security council, kept his own folks, and did not listen to anyone in January.

The depth at which this leak is happening elevates it to an entirely new problem compared to any previous spill. noonespecial was right when he said it may as well be in outer space; in fact, one of the lead engineers working on the problem was brought in due to his research adapting mining techniques for off-world situations. Having an army of engineers in a case like this is no more effective than mobilizing HN to tackle P vs NP.
Love this post, but I'm going to argue against one of your points:

If it's a "trend", it's too late

I disagree. In fact, if something is a trend, it's a guarantee that a market (of some kind) exists and it can save you a lot of time and research. Most big markets have large numbers of high value competitors and they're not all pioneers. Indeed, most companies with significant turnover were not pioneers in their field - they came in with "me too" products that merely improved upon the existing popular ones before they became too entrenched.

The trick is to get in when something becomes a trend but before the masses realize it's a trend and you have hundreds of competitors making similar improvements to the core products and services as quickly as you are. As well as being my belief, it's one of the core tenets of Michael Masterson's tackily-named (but a great read nonetheless) "Ready, Fire, Aim: Zero to $100 Million in No Time Flat."

With your reference to the App Store, I suspect you might agree with this, but have a different idea of what a "trend" is. I consider the App Store and developing iPhone apps to have been a trend in late 2008, not long after the earliest developers were starting to share revenue/sales figures, but before the masses had figured out it was going to be a giant cashcow. Now developing iPhone apps is just "what you do" rather than a trend, IMHO.
The participant with the most bandwidth (and I guess since it's mobile devices, other factors can be taken into account like battery level, etc) becomes the host and receives video from everyone else, multiplexes it and then streams to all other participants. Unless you have 10+ people on the call, a typical home connection is sufficient. That's how Skype worked fine for a decade before Microsoft screwed it up.

But even if we assume WhatsApp should be multiplexing the streams on their end, unmetered bandwidth is cheap and again we aren't talking about 4k streams and hundreds of participants per call.
I work for a Semiconductor distributor. Seeing huge orders from car manufacturers since December. I guess they are stockpiling.
Tesla's build and interior quality is crap. A $40k Mercedes C-Class has better interior than a $100k Model S.

But what Tesla does well is the UX. While I'm not a huge fan of fully touch controls for essentials like AC, wipers and so on, the software feels really polished including their navigation, mobile integration, OTA software updates to improve them. It feels like software coming out of a Silicon Valley software company as opposed to clunky stuff you are used to seeing in cars. Until other manufacturers catch up with this aspect, it's hard to compete with Tesla because the full experience is superior.

I’m afraid that with some people, I’m no longer arguing about how to interpret certain data, but we’re on a level where we cannot even agree that we are observing the same universe.

Once their name is found on social media through their photo, it would not take much effort to go from there to their LinkedIn and find out who their employers are.

As we've seen in the past, it's not hard to call a company out on Twitter with information about what their employee has been up to and I reckon it's likely that this will happen.
The concern is that temperature response to emissions may look like other buffered chemical systems. See the PH curves here:https://www.chemguide.co.uk/physical/acidbaseeqia/phcurves.h...

Basically we see plateaus where large increments of reagent do nothing, then a massive abrupt shift as the buffering potential of the system fails.
