Where did I say you didn't use a 500+ karma account to downvote and flag?

> do not wish to confuse my comment history on the main nick

If you stand by your posts here, and you don't believe they're racist, and "comment history confusion" (whatever that means) is the only reason you posted under the name "smellyindian", then what's your main nick? (Feel free to keep all your other accounts secret.)

> I simply wish to distance myself from the discussion

Your comments had nothing to do with the subject of when Americans stopped marrying cousins, and were entirely about "Indians", "Pakistani rat children", claims of "widely prevalent" acts of kidnapping ignored by the authorities, backed up with zero sources, and repeated complaints about "cultural sensitivities".

> Also, I am not racist, and nor are my comments. Pakistan is a country, not a race. India is a country, not a race.

Shit non-racists are always having to say, of course.

> If you mean subcontinental Asians, yes, that could broadly be termed a race.

If you accept there's a racial factor, what are you arguing about?

> I have other throwaway accounts called nonsmellyindians

People shooting at vehicles is not new. While in most cases they target what appear to be random vehicles, and in this case it's been determined the targets are tech bosses, I'm not sure we can be certain this is not a mental disorder manifesting itself as "fighting the man" in the form of various tech staffers who while symbolic, are not what most people would imagine as wealthy.

German is spoken in countries other than Germany: looking at only countries where the German language enjoys some form of official or co-official status, we have Germany (of course), Austria, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Belgium, and Luxembourg. Denmark, Hungary, Italy, and Poland also formally recognise German as a minority language.

That's not to mention the countless expats/second language speakers around the world.

Having a German language version of your website/product is by no means equivalent to being subject to the jurisdiction of Germany the country.

My comment was misleading. I didn't know about the Virginia Tech mass shooting details, but I did know that the latest mass shooting in Brazil was done with a couple of handguns. And you've made a very good point actually, comments like the one I've made don't help and I apologize for that.

My concern was more about using countries like Brazil as an argument for discussing gun policies in a completely different country.

It isn't uncommon having NRA lobbyist going there for misleading the population and trying to convince people that relaxing the gun policies in Brazil will "solve most of their problems". This is totally irresponsible and given the number of uneducated people we have, which will basically believe whatever a lobbyist from a well-known developed country says, it can actually cause more damage than good. A policy that isn't a big deal in the USA, can be a disaster in Brazil.

By simply comparing crime rates between developed and undeveloped countries doesn't help anyone, anywhere.
> Why not shoot at some CEO who makes $100m/yr?

The CEO making 100 million a year has no-shit legit bodyguards that shoot back.
This hasn't been true for me, if anything it seems faster these day. I get most 2-day shipped stuff in less than 24 hours.
I've always felt this policy was a mistake. I kinda understand locking down the software, but not parts, especially when said vechicle is out of warranty.

Get the parts out to DIY'ers. Don't make enemies right out of the gate?

Plus--some of these rebuilders are brilliant.(This guy who out a electric engine in a Honda--for one.)

I know the legal aspect, but just put a disclaimer on the part, like the rest of the them?

So many people are buying high ticket items, but can't repair the item then it breaks.

I guess it's the way the wealthy think? I don't have that luxury. I buy second hand stuff the haves discard.

If I buy something, I should be able to fix it when it breaks down. I'll sign whatever legal papers you this at me. Fool me into thinking your company isn't violating The Sherman Antitrust Act?

I've been poor all my life, and just don't like Authorized Repair Centers touching my stuff, at their outrageous prices.
Especially when that joke of a warranty ends.

To the guy who just bought a $25,000 Rolex watch this weekend.

When it stops, and is out of warranty, you will not be able to repair it yourself. Even if dad taught you how to repair watches from a early age. You can open it, but buying a part from Rolex is something you can't do.

How did I go from Tesla to Rolex? Just a bit off tonight?

I do feel like I'm alone though. In the end, I just don't like the feeling I'm being fleeced, and then telling me, "Oh, it's for Quality Assurance. We care about you."

Why do HNers like Tesla so much? Surely Tesla start the era of electric vehicles,but for me it's just yet another American luxury car.I fancy something more exquisite and fun to drive.
Have you driven a high performance EV? (Specifically, a Tesla?)

I can't think of something more fun to drive, and I've driven a lot of cars. It feels completely different from a combustion engine car.
The main reason why is volt packs are dirt cheap vs tesla packs commanding a huge premium because DIY powerwall guys snatch them up.

Tax avoidance is not a negative externality, since it does not impose a cost on any party. Money laundering is also not an externality, though in some circumstances it could facilitate activity that generates negative externalities, like extortion, racketeering, etc.

I also don't see how more demand for art could destroy the market. The supply is flexible and can grow to meet the extra demand.
They could arguably have ignored the decision. If a German court rules that something should not be available in Germany, they should order German ISPs to block it. That's what the UK does about "illegal" torrenting and streaming. And that's what China does about the Dali Lama, Falun Gong, Uighur resistance, and so on.

Edit: OK, so some argue that Project Gutenberg, which does business from the US, and which has no physical presence in Germany, should have done what the German court ordered. But consider the implications. Firms hosting content from a particular country would be subject to court orders from every country. That would not end well.
I think you'll find quite a sizeable population in the Bay Area thinks the tech industry, and especially it's workers, are the ones crossing moral lines.

You know, displacing everyone and forcing people to move apart just so everything can be in one office.

The issue is, in theory we live in a democracy ... and if there was a popular vote about letting the tech industry do to SanFran what it's been doing in the past, the techies would lose 90% to 10%, without a doubt.

Why haven't SUVs fallen prey to the soccer Mom curse yet? Station wagons and minivans fell out of fashion because they were family vehicles. That's what SUVs are now, yet they're still cool.
I'm also German and strongly disagree with your opinion. Privacy is a very delicate topic in Germany since the Nazis and the Stasi used to arrest people for even talking bad about them.
Publishing the name of the company will not really help to fight them. Every company is a team of people behind, so listing names of those people can have a better effect instead.
This is the worst advice in this thread. Not only do you lose the European market for no good reason and on logic you might hear from moon landing conspiracy theorists, but you don't even solve your issue as you will still have European users no matter what. People do travel.
The displacement happened because zoning boards allowed the construction of lots of office space, and disallowed construction of most new housing. The zoning boards were controlled by wealthy retirees who wanted the price of their houses to go up, not by techies; the techies got screwed too.
Especially when Tesla keeps pushing the bleeding edge of killing the right to repair that has been on life support in modern cars for decades now. Every auto manufacturer used the invent of digital tech as a means to kill the right to repair (in much the same way almost every industry did - digital tech has proven to be sufficiently magic that commoners won't even recognize what they give up when they go from an easily discoverable and repairable analog solution to a proprietary locked down digital one... at least not until its too late like farmers with tractors) but Tesla blazes trails in how much of a car they can cripple with a proprietary computer so that nobody except Tesla can know how it works, how to fix it, or how to change it.

That is wholly antithetical to hacker culture. If the major tech players of the 80s treated personal computers the way auto manufacturers are treating cars today (or more appropriately for the last ten years) whole categories of software would never have existed. And cars, like the IBM PC architecture, show a seemingly inevitable destiny of the genie being put back in the bottle - for decades you could know how your car works so completely you could replace any one part by hand. In large part the same could be said of many transitionary computer systems - before systemic abstraction layers could cordon off the hardware from the user and render it wholly proprietary and black box (again) there was a short stint of time where you could get the programming manual for your chip and often diagnostic manuals for the mainboard that contained CAD documents related to it for self-repair of capacitors.

New generations of car geeks will be stymied when the cars they grow up with will be magic metal boxes that do things themselves and prevent them from understanding how they work because its more profitable for all involved if you are beholden to someone else to create, operate, repair, and improve the thing than yourself.

Just the same as how new generations of hackers will be stunted by growing up on Android and iOS devices that don't even have an included compiler or any way to install one, on locked bootloaders and proprietary drivers, filled to the brim with planned obsolescence and non-removable batteries and body frames designed to disintegrate if you force it apart to see whats inside.

Thats not to say nobody will push car culture forward the same way hacking won't die, but large corporate interests have certainly done their best to put up all the barriers they can to prevent anyone from developing an interest.
The difficulty here is what happens when one of the databases is not available temporarily (network error, etc.) You cannot have a "transaction" cover writes to both systems so you either have to manually undo one of the writes or risk the two systems getting out of sync.
That's an unfair statement in the great scheme of open source. When you fork the Android Open Source Project you only get a backbone version of the OS. You start at level 0. Google keeps all its custom proprietary and key technologies closed (rightfully).
Amazon is keeping its customization closed as well.

As far as contributing back to the AOSP, that's another area where Google's iron grip on Android shows.
You can report bugs and help to patch things, but there's no actual way to contribute anything meaningful to the roadmap.
four crossings instead of two, not four instead of one. unless you're simply crossing the cross street, and not actually crossing the highway, which there isn't really any reason a pedestrian would do at that at that intersection.

making two 36' crossings is a lot safer than a single 72' crossing. narrowing the crossing width is a good thing in intersection design, even if it takes a bit longer. It's a fairly long walk for for a pedestrian to make, waiting for an extra light isn't going to make a significant change to the crossing length for a pedestrian.

Well, this hasn't even been an issue for us in the last couple of years, even though we use controllers without MMUs. We have a quite complex C++ codebase and our coding style catches a lot of these mistakes outright.

Rust is simply not an option for us because of a distinct lack of tooling available for it. We need a ISO 61508 qualified toolchain including testing frameworks and there is none in sight for rust.

Also, out of interest: has anyone ever tried to write code in rust that is protected against bit flips caused by radiation? Our code is able to detect this because it stores long lived values also as bit inverted patterns and compares them regularly. This does not allow us to recover outright, but we can at least fail gracefully and attempt

$70,000 is also the price of a Lexus or Infiniti or other entry-level luxury car. When you're on the highway surrounded by BMWs and Mercedes E-classes, that's the sort of people who, if flying was something they wanted to do, could have purchased an airplane instead, by your very own metric.

In fact, let's extend this a bit further. You say a Cessna is in a moat because it's the only supplier.... of Cessnas. BMW is the only supplier of BMWs! That's ridiculous reasoning. There are other GA and even light sport aircraft available - Piper and FlightDesign and Zenith and Bristell all sell aircraft. And they're all in the same price range, leading one to believe that maybe aircraft manufacture isn't as cheap as you're making it out to be.

Both the second and the third link paint a much more balanced picture than I think you imply.

They both make the important point that there is no F to M wealth gap resentment in partnerships where the man takes on additional domestic responsibilities that are traditionally reserved for women. That makes intuitive sense both practically (bandwidth) and symbolically (fairness/partnership). The HBR/Herald thing goes into detail.

And the US News article points out the status quo has already grown to 20% female breadwinner households. If it wasn't a successful model, it probably wouldn't be growing in share.

This is typically solved (in my experience) using a reconciliation process using transaction GUIDs along with backfill from non-source of truth in the event the data isn't found in the source of truth. As long as a transaction made it into one of your data stores, consistency isn't lost (and if writes failed to both data stores, alarms should go off).
