I didn't know that FlexRay had made such inroads and I do apologize - I balked at your mention of Audi because I have personal experience there but it turns out I was just familiar with the one German place FlexRay hasn't reached yet!

It does seem like most commodity FlexRay systems are still hackable although it's certainly harder than CAN where you can just attach a node and start spewing garbage from whichever address you'd like: https://brage.bibsys.no/xmlui/bitstream/handle/11250/2453093... (I'd expect all modern BMWs to be similar or identical to this MINI for cost reasons, although as evidenced I may be surprised!).

I still haven't found a robust use of end to end encryption anywhere in an automotive application - even the "most protected" routines like ECU flashing seem to be protected by weak XOR/known-secret seed/key security in tandem with symmetric cryptography using fixed key material.
Different people have different fcactors effecting quality of life. Some people want something more laid back and are willing to give up salary. Others want to optimize salary and work at a big corporation. The market can take a number of strategies—it’s up to the employees to vote with their feet. Given the inherent instability of startups and if they in fact do it less, that vote should be easy to cast if someone is not satisfied.
It's not all screens, a logo needs to work irl. The Pentagram post linked elsewhere on this story shows a couple mock-ups of irl advertising and product branding. Want T-shirts to give away at recruiting events? Your T-shirt supplier will charge more for more colors. Fewer colors also generally make a design easier to replicate freehand, and you want amateurs to be able to easily convey your logo. A special case may be made for the old intersections being easily reproducible in some mediums, but consider non-aerosol paints and things get messy.

Aside from physical constraints, I think there is a general argument to be made for simplicity. If something is more complex, there should be a reason for it. Otherwise, toss out the complexity. What is the reason for having more colors? There are other ways to convey overlapping lines, and I would argue that some of them are less complex, though it would be a lengthy argument -- it isn't exactly obvious how the complexity of an additional shape can be measured against the complexity of an additional color, and you can ultimately just subjectively weight one of those factors heavier than other and come up with a different answer. But I think the general case for fewer colors being less complex is pretty sound.

That's terrible and the article says he did it to show off to his friends.

What about the following year when a new model comes out? Not a lot of foreplanning there.
No one said that. I was responding to claim that made it about that when it's clearly about a lot of other things and thus the argument isn't as clear cut as it was attempted.
When I bought my house my realtor convinced me to make a much lower offer than I had planned. Even after the negotiation was all done I still ended up paying less than I had been planning to offer initially. Cost them some commission, but I'll happily use them for any future transactions and recommend them to others needing a realtor.

Not all realtors are out to maximize the commission on a single transaction. Many are like lawyers and are working for the best interests of their client (which is also in their long term interest).
If mosquito populations are kept down, and African people benefit from decreased disease and famine, might it not be worth it?

You seem to imply that there's something intrinsically bad in GMO crops, insecticides or making a profit. Technology and trade sounds like overall it is helping, based on the global health statistics I see.
I just liked the old logo based out of hash tag - naturally so close to messages. In fact, the logo was the brand for Slack.
Speaking from nearly 40 years experience over several businesses - this is VERY true.
Sure, it's harder in the EU and more problematic in the EU. But so what? It's one thing to argue soberly that it's not working well for such-and-such country. It's another to exclaim, as is most often done, that it's a complete and utter disaster when it's plainly obvious it's not. As monetary systems go most nations would love to be in the EU, even with all the very real and substantial downsides.

The EU is a complex institution and the single currency is only part of it. An integral part, to be sure, but IMO we (the political chatter class) put far too much emphasis on monetary policy, both as our source of problems and a source of solutions. Often it's a distraction or excuse for more substantive issues, like political and fiscal ineptitude. Take Greece for example--when push came to shove most observers, as well, as Greeks themselves, decided that leaving the Euro was not the answer. When forced to soberly assess the situation it turns out that the Euro wasn't the most pressing problem and that on balance they were better off enduring.

Regarding comparison with the United States, let's not forget that political battles over a national bank dominated national politics for almost the first 50 years. Similar to issues over tariffs, what benefited the north was often to the detriment of the south, and vice-versa. And this was at a time when there were virtually no direct federal wealth transfers, and federal revenue came predominately from tariffs, which pitted not only the north (net importers) against the south (net exporters), but both against the federal government (tariffs were placed on both imports and exports). If the interplay between monetary policy and trade competitiveness was understood at the time and today's Euro critics were teleported back in time, who knows what might have happened!
In much of the US, native tribes are allowed to operate casinos on their territories. This has become a principal source of income for many tribes/nations.

The issue is that while native tribes are normally regulated at the federal level (they signed treaties with the US government) gambling is something normally regulated at the state level. So there are all sorts of constitutional issues re who can set rules governing casinos. It isn't really about a corporation or person being regulated by a representative government. It is about one government, the tribe, and its relationship with various host governments (US Fed, states, cities etc). A very different dynamic.
Yes because famine and disease is much better. We should stop all progress because some people are making money.
Yes because nutrition experts have gained our trust with consistent information free of industry lobbying for so many years. Sarcasm aside recommendations like this make perfect sense for a lot of people.
I’m sure Republicans love to destroy the commons because they hate farming and making money.
A lot of wealthy Silicon Valley entrepreneurs, engineers, and investors park their personal wealth in Vanguard funds while looking for the next wave to invest in. It's not that they're getting rich off of money invested in index funds, it's that index funds crowd out private wealth managers who might otherwise have been given carte blanche to invest their clients assets but not have the expertise to understand which new startups look promising.

Ad-infested pages often feel sluggish even after all the readable content has loaded. It feels like the page hasn't finished loading yet.

After all, it takes CPU, RAM, and bandwidth to run scripts and load images in the background. The difference is especially noticeable on mobile, and it's even worse when the scripts trigger redraws or mess with the scrolling.
>apps that use background tasks when they should be using more appropriate APIs.

But some tasks do need to run in background, don't they? Specifically, sports tracking apps. Had a lot of issues with those on on various phones; now I simply don't switch out of the tracking app at all while it's running (otherwise, I can never be sure it simply won't be tombstoned in the background).

How can I prove a negative?

My point is that there ISN"T a scientifically demonstrated consequence of climate change that we can't deal with.

So far neither you nor anyone else have provided something which is scientifically demonstrated to be happening and which we can't deal with.

I am not the one claiming. You and others are.
Also depends on whether Voyager's velocity is in a useful direction, it could just as easily be counterproductive. But not much difference either way.
I doubt that a sleazy airbnb host would be sophisticated enough to place a decoy router, and if they were, there's probably nothing I could do to stop them.

My threat model would be the host trying to blackmail me and/or get their kicks from watching me.

A corporate or national actor isn't part of this model, because:
- I'm a low-priority target
- Prevent highly sophisticated attacks borders on impossible/maddening
- The likelihood of the creep is probably 10,000x more

I'm not sure unplugging the router would help, but I probably wouldn't find it very inconvenient either (depending on location).

Overall it's probably worth a quick try to locate and unplug it - if you can't find it, hedge your bets and try some other opsec techniques. Just my own approach.
> When two things are correlated, there are four possibilities: A causes B, B causes A, A and B are both caused by some third factor C, or they are correlated by random chance.

Kudos for breaking the problem down into a handful of mutually exclusive categories that we can discuss. That's really helpful.

> That leaves race causing economic inequality, probably by way of intermediate factors like oppression caused by

Notice your use of the word "probably". I might be mistaken, but I think that's smuggling in the very set of assumptions I was questioning in the first place.
Hmm. I wonder if the same thing could happen in the cryptocurrency markets, where literally 100% of Bitcoin holders lose their private keys and yet we still have active, liquid price discovery consisting of speculators making side bets on BitMex.
Brilliant, absolutely had me rolling. Most cleverly-executed satire I've seen in a long while.

There you're replacing a configuration language that is executable Scheme, with what seems to be a declarative language, and converting to indentation syntax. That's a two-variable change.

The original S-exp syntax doesn't have to be an executable program in which you use Scheme operators like cons* .

The indentation-based notation, likewise, can retain the property that it's executable Scheme and reveals operations like cons* to the user.
> The solution is really pretty simple: there needs to be meaningful competition on the (patient-perceived) quality of care.

Competition would require at least a slight oversupply of doctors. Right now there's a shortage: we're training about 80% of the doctors we need for the current levels of procedures. Meanwhile the population is getting older and that means more procedures. This will get worse before it gets better.

So this can only happen if we increase funding quite a bit for medical training programs, essentially country-wide. 25%, absolute minimum.
> It is unlikely that economic inequality cause race

I wouldn't rule it out entirely for individuals where social pressure wouldn't react strongly against it (those of ambiguous appearance without a clear single identity imposed on uprearing); racial identity in those cases is probably shaped in part by experience of which economic status is a component.

But that's, if it exists, a marginal effect around the edges.
Why would a country want to buy up only shares of companies in that country? You could have a large sovereign wealth fund, but most countries are very small and it would not make sense to only buy domestic stocks.

On AWS Lambda, which has had Go support for almost a year now, you upload the binary, which you create from the source code on your own system, using the go compiler. On Google Cloud Functions, you upload the source code and Google's servers build it.
I've thought about if I am being selfish. I'm always doing house work, running errands, running out to pick up dry cleaning, etc. I also make all the meals and general cleaning it up afterwards.

So perhaps I'm being selfish emotionally.

Think about the amount of work that you would do to sell (ignoring buys) 4 houses.. At most 2 months of work for them.
I'd suggest ramping up bonds shortly before retirement (and then ramping them back down again afterwards, which the vanguard funds do not do -- mostly because they cannot tell if you have actually retired on your target date).[1]

> Is there really a two-bit Airbnb surveillance problem?

Yes, because the average person is far more likely to be targeted by a two-bit jealous spouse, perverted Airbnb owner, or paranoid neighbor than a sophisticated international spy ring.

I see what you mean. I guess unknown just doesn't work that well with inline type checks for objects, although in that case you probably want a function anyways. Using the `in` return type you can do something like this:

const out: unknown = JSON.parse("{a: 1}");

interface MyStructure {
a: number;
}

function isMyStructure(toCheck: unknown): toCheck is MyStructure {
return toCheck instanceof Object && 'a' in toCheck;
}

if (isMyStructure(out)) {
console.log(out.a);
}

This will give you no type errors, and gives you the benefit of having a re-usable function for this validation. I just discovered this today. I seem to have missed it in a recent release note.
Yep, I recently rented a cabin for a group of 5 couples. That was a lot of fun. Having common areas (kitchen, living room) is something you don't get with hotels, and nice if you want to hang around and play board games or something. (Of course home rental has been around before AirBnB)
African Americans were enslaved, based in their race, and then segregated and discriminated against, based in their race, by the law up until recently. If Bill Gates and Steve Jobs has been born black in the south, they would’ve gone to a segregated school. (Kennedy had to send troops to forcibly desegregate the University of Alabama when they were 8.)

I think we are comfortably to the point where we can start talking about causation, not merely correlation.
I've come to realize this over time. The slow days give me time to reflect what I've done/learned throughout the day which serves as some sort of reinforcement long term. The days where I'm 'crushing' it seem to fly by too quickly.
I had the privilege of working with Bill Fouse and other brilliant people at Wells Fargo Investment Advisors in the 70s. At the time, it was a huge technical challenge to crunch the numbers for a multi-million dollar investment, and to execute it without affecting the market prices of the target stocks.
Not even a pivot, IMHO (Blockstream employee here). Just cool infrastructure which may even end up paying for itself...

Yes, I agree the Hyundai Kona EV is the best value for money today. It's got good range at a good price.

But the upcoming Volkswagen I.D. models are also cars which get the normal and boring things right:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q2Tqw9LX3QE

https://www.volkswagen.co.uk/about-us/concept-cars/volkswage...

The I.D. hatchback is supposed to be priced around the same as a diesel Golf. They say they'll be able to drive down prices though the economies of scale of their MEB platform:

https://jalopnik.com/the-fascinating-engineering-behind-vws-...

And for high-end luxury cars VW will have the Porsche Taycan and at least three models of Audi e-tron in the next few years (Audi e-tron SUV to be released soon, a future Audi e-tron GT based on the Porsche Taycan's platform, and a future Audi CUV based on the same MEB platform as the I.D. models).
Why is "New Pricing" always higher? Not a real question, but it lowers my confidence in Google to see them pull stupid marketing tricks like this.

I'm also a little surprised they're raising prices. I figured this monthly revenue was practically nothing on their bottom line, and that they would prefer to keep users on their platform for network effect reasons.

Their chat product also kinda sucks. Ever tried searching your hangouts for a nugget of information? Generally when I think I've typed something in hangouts, I do a search, find absolutely nothing relevant (despite knowing it's in there somewhere), give up, and just check another source.
It's not just a VPS with OpenVPN installed, the main reason why I built it was to be able to click a button and migrate the server to a new location/IP address on demand. Since then I also added "Invisibility Mode" which tunnels VPN over HTTPS bypassing restrictive firewalls, and next I am working on adding pi-hole support to it :)
Your code review and deployment pipeline should be all automated from day zero. Setting up a CI pays off in the first couple of days in terms of time investment and massive returns on longer term mostly for avoiding human error and confusions that ensues.
As more agents enter the business, a lot of their time and effort ends up going into getting clients in the first place. You end up with lots of agents spending more of their time trying to get business, with actual home-sales work taking up a smaller proportion of their time. But the increase in home prices is enough to make up for the decrease in the number of homes sold per agent.

Point being, an increase in home prices, and the resulting increase in commissions (in dollar terms) doesn't necessarily result in any benefit to clients.
Is it me, or is this an article with a sensationalist headline with a really inconclusive body?
They can certainly fill a lot moreof our need than they do today, and there is still nuclear as well.

and receive no meaningful legal consequences. These people should be on the hook for all damage done with this dump, but they won't be, so it doesn't really matter. It's not ironic, it's just business as usual.

I agree that there's benefit in hiring a broker when selling.

But I'm not as convinced that brokers are necessary when buying; at least to me, it seems like selling a house will often be more work than buying one. When selling, you need to advertise the house, show prospective buyers around, research the market to better understand pricing, etc whereas for buying it seems less time intensive overall, and easier to find some reasonable options, meet with sellers or listing brokers directly, and write a persuasive offer letter.

I recently bought a condo in NYC without a broker, and if you're interested, I left a comment with more info about my experience:

You suggested that race might not be the cause of economic equality correlated with race.

I’m saying that race causing economic inequality is the only reasonable explanation for the facts. Whether it’s because race directly causes inequality or because race causes other stuff which then causes inequality doesn’t matter. It’s a causal relationship either way.
Oh man I once made a huge ass of myself by hearing someone call SQL "Sequel" for the first time and saying I had never heard of it while talking about database design. Everyone else I had ever heard say it out loud had used the "Ess-Cue-Ell" version of pronouncing it.

Weeks later I heard someone else call SQL "Sequel" and I had enough context there to know they were talking about an SQL database and put it together. I think the person from that first conversation just thought I was a complete fucking moron though.

I just went through a divorce very recently and was in a very similar situation (great as friends, not so much as lovers after 10y) !! Was very friendly.

A mix of sadness and relief, was certainly for the best. We continue to be great friends and talk as often as when we were married.
He has a service that lets you enter a password to check if it’s been pwned though. I guess these are disassociated from user emails?
The tax reporting is also pretty nightmarish. I have a friend who once decided he could mimic an index fund without the fees by buying individual stocks in the same proportions as the index (I think his broker offered a free trades deal or something, otherwise this is an obviously bad idea). His Schedule D that year was about 60 pages long, and he decided never again. Of course, it took him years to finish unwinding all the positions and reporting all the taxes, since many times you're left with a small fraction of a share once dividends have been reinvested.
It would be kinda cool to build something like this on top of https://github.com/Nyr/openvpn-install. It's a single script that generates the .ovpn client side files.
