disclaimer, own a TM3.

At first I was worried about the center console but quickly came to realize it was a non issue. Even the speed being displayed there did not matter as normal eye movement when driving would pick it up if not out of the "corner" of my eye. I was totally comfortable with it before I made it home from picking up the car. My eighty year plus old father had zero issues with it. He is of the type where you don't play with buttons/etc unless stopped. to each his own

As for buttons, many cars have automatic climate control and I rarely if ever have changed mine. If I need the front or rear defroster its merely a glance and tap; muscle memory almost as much as with a button. Heat seater, my seat is right there on the bottom of the display. temp is a simple tap left or right. all again "muscle memory" because I am used to the car. Same as if I had to drive a friends car - you learn and you learn quite quickly.

I give my friends a simple test with their cars. Put yellow dots on each you use during a drive to and from work. You can do this before or during. You would be surprised how much you don't use center console buttons. There is a reason why some controls are replicated to the steering wheel.

Plus if you want to get down to it, if I really want to change something in traffic that is involved; though honestly I don't know what that would be; I let the car drive for awhile. It can do that.

As for the presentation, I had to laugh. My TM3 is blue and for a bit when watching the TMY driving videos I was hard pressed to see the physical difference
Dosn't that distract you?
There are lots of good child psychology books out there. Pick one up. "Non-violent Communication" helped me a lot. It will simplify the issues. It's not about blaming the kid or blaming yourself, but learning ways to shift focus away from blame/judgement to needs.

Small changes in the way you use language help make such mental shifts possible. The positive outcomes make you want to do them more and more. I wish I had learnt this stuff at a younger age though.

My wife constantly reminds me that what I learnt from how to deal with my kid, has made me deal with adults way better. So there is that advantage too :)
It's not okay, but that's not the point I'm making. What I'm saying is that people shouldn't take what they read in that "common information repository" at face value, because it can be edited by anybody. Hell, even if editing was restricted to a certain group of people, how do you know those people aren't being paid to lie or omit information? (i.e. what happens with the media)
Innovative Marketing Approaches That Bring Out Results in SEO
I believe Elon is part of a tragically large group of people that continue to stubbornly define their expectations of the future based entirely on stuff they saw in Star Trek TNG. "Just because you can put a touch screen somewhere doesn't mean you should" is a thought that will never enter their minds regardless of how many people die as a result.
Yeah, Sri Lanka for me personally is a sobering reminder that even culture/philosophy considered very peaceful can engage in worst atrocities when pushed enough. People are just people at their core, far from flawless we all crave to be.

You can't see it as a tourist there (at least I couldn't, but I didn't travel to north where most bad stuff happened). But generally this ancient mindset of 'not losing the face' can only lead to misery and desperation down the path, no matter the location. It seems its slowly dying which should be a net gain for societies still harboring it
> "I know the solution, so I frequently guide the interviewee towards the correct answer and offer my help. Plus I put my nice guy hat on."

I wouldn't want to work with a person whose idea of a useful job interview is:

"I'll pick an esoteric bullshit problem, put my nice guy hat on, and guide you towards the solution as I bask in your admiration of my largesse."

It's like when self-declared "nice guys" approach women: when you have to make an explicit point about how nice you are being right now, you're probably doing something very wrong.
> I don't think I could write a book

That's what you thought about building a video game console from scratch, and look how that turned out :)
Awesome work!
> The 737 MAX is unstable inherently for the sake of mileage

This is blatantly false. The MCAS system isn't running a PID control loop or anything like that. It's applying stupidly simple logic to its inputs and giving equally simple outputs.

At worst you could claim the aircraft is less stable than the original 737. But more specifically I'd say the 737 Max exhibits undesirable control behaviours at the approach to the stall. The MCAS system was required to make this behaviour certifiable.

When I last tried it around 3.0, Godot didn't do a lot of the boring platform-related stuff that Unity does and there wasn't enough community momentum to help answer questions. Without an asset store you won't find a ton of "Easy Google Play friend list" plugins or anything like that. IMO that's what makes the other engines more mature, moreso than the renderer.
Amazon is free to sell books in their app, they just need to pay a portion of their revenue for the privilege of doing so much like in the mall.
Desktop computing -- in the 90s in the server area there was more competition, primarily from Netware.

It wasn't until the end of the 90s when macs started making an impression on peoples desktops, with the imac, but oddly enough if https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usage_share_of_desktop_operati... is to be believed, windows still has a 95% share of the desktop/laptop market.
So now we have a number for the porn traffic. The filter isn't perfect and porn is still there. I wouldn't be surprised if the real number approaches 40%.

But apparently Tumblr is fine with it, because surely they knew how much traffic it was driving? Or else someone did a truly shitty job with their website statistics.

I can only assume they expect the brand value to rise proportionally to the level that better advertising profits will offset the loss of porn. I guess that's the harder number to estimate, and I have a feeling they're S.O.L. because all blogging platforms are struggling in the days of the big services like Instagram and Facebook, and those don't even have to try reverse a brand associated with porn... They can speak of staying out of these big social networks and win privacy and not selling your private life, but the problem is that literally billions are on these services. They're giving you the unparalleled reach.
I'm not sure what you mean by "back in the day" but for as long I can remember, those deals pop-ups have only been shown when I started Steam and opened the main Steam window. And then it isn't shown again until next time I start Steam, so if I have Steam running for 30 days, I only see it once in those 30 days—when I start Steam.

It's never popped up on me while Steam was minimized or even just unfocused.

Anyway, if it was as bad as you say, clearly Valve has learned a thing or two and dialed it back, which I think it a net positive.

In my mind, using OS notifications to advertise deals is much, much worse because we should be able to trust that our OS notifications are relevant and useful, not that they're ads and spam.
Huh? I totally agree that the app store is a monopoly and leveraging the iOS app store to pressure spotify (a competitor to apple music) is anticompetitive.

But I'm very confused how you're twisting Apple's huge contribution toward LLVM and Webkit over the years into some evil act. Even if all you want is for GCC to be the best compiler it can be, work on LLVM has contributed to that goal by raising the bar. Predictably, GCC has gotten a lot better in the past decade or so. And I'm sure competition from LLVM has helped, just like how browser performance improved remarkably across the board when Chrome first came out. And Android's UI got way better after the iPhone was first released. (It used to be awful). Competition raises all boats; and consumers benefit when that happens.

Who exactly do you imagine is hurt by Apple's open source contributions to LLVM? If clang dethrones gcc it will be because llvm gives developers what we want - a faster compiler, faster executables, better IDE support or something else. My life is made measurably better by these things. Getting all that for free? Hallelujah.

If you don't like the direction Apple (and others) set for an opensource project you care about, you're free to build your own community around a fork. Thats what you would have to do anyway if you want a project to succeed without Apple's support.

What do you want? Great, free software? You've got it. The freedom to change that software however you want? Fork away, brave coder. The ability to sell software based on your changes? Go right ahead.

So where does that anger come from? How is anyone worse off?
Another important point to note is that with old time RWD the slipping tire got all the power while with electrics the rear tires work in a positraction mode where power is directed to the tire with traction, which is much much better in the snow.
You're correct. The shape of the tool is the way it is so it doesn't get wedged at the bottom of the seal groove.

The part in contact with the old seal is about as wide as the seal, the part in contact with the seal groove is narrower, as it should be.

The tool as shaped by the OP would get wedged between grime and fragments of the old seal or might cut the old seal because of the too narrow point that only contacts the old seal in the middle or on either edge.
They mention broadcasting, art-related retail, and several other things associated with facilitating trade instead of creation.

If you include art galleries and bookstores, you should include restaurants and grocery stores right?

The USDA has a chart of household expenditures: food=13%, transportation=16%, entertainment+alcohol=6.2%

https://www.ers.usda.gov/webdocs/Charts/58275/agfood-sector_...

Looks like the NEA and the USDA are making reports that make their own sector shine. One talking about household expenditures, the other GDP "contribution". I know I could not convince anyone (or myself) of the significance of the different measurements, but when it comes to "X is bigger than Y", the takeaway for the average reader, the headline and report ring false.

I'm also looking for a 7 seat model. But does it look like the 3rd row has a lot of space?

A quick search didn't show me any details on this. Not even a single picture of the rear part inside.
> Spotify seeks to keep all the benefits of the App Store ecosystem

How about ISPs? Maybe they also should get 30% commission from all music downloaded through their networks?

After reading Steve Job biography I read now the Jony Ive book. And I must say that the current Apple has no taste. Taste in terms of whole product function and coolness. It looks like industrial product designers and greedy people took over the company. Do they really have to squeeze each dollar from customers and app developers and destroy their magic brand? How they are now different from Exxon Mobil or Louis Vuitton?
Nothing stops you from implementing a secure payment system, installing it on devices bought by millions of wealthy consumers, making them trust you with their credit cards and... charging less.
Not that I completely agree with it, but I think the difference they go off is a purchase of something physical (e.g. a book from Amazon) vs something digital (e.g. an audiobook from Audible)
To have some idea about the possible time span, we can estimate some "typical" flight frequency and length: if the average flight is 2.5 hours there, and if the pilot flights both to the destination and back in the same day (which is reasonable to expect) 6000 hours means 1200 flights to the destination and back, and if only one such is done per day (with the times on the ground it's surely more than 8 hours) then assuming 4 of such per week and 48 working weeks per year, that gives 6.5 years for the pilot and 5.2 years for the co-pilot.
And I am free to use Google Music, Apple Music, YouTube Music, Deezer and even Tidal. Nobody is forcing me to use Spotify.

But, if I have an iPhone, the only application store I can use is controlled by Apple.

In other words: if I am an artist and I want to offer my music via streaming I have plenty of options. If one of them does have a deal that I find unfair, I can choose others.

If I am a developer and I want to offer my app to iPhone users, I have only one option. And if I am banned from this store for any policy infringement (which sometimes is ridiculous and totally arbitrary) I have no other option to offer my app to iPhone users.
Yes that's basically true about people being susceptible to bias, regardless of education level, though highly educated people still perform better at critical understanding.

Education is still the way to go, obviously.
Looks like Google’s thinking about a folding screen of its own
I agree that 30% is egregious oligopoly pricing, but 1% is definitely insufficient to run a payment service and a software distribution platform that includes any sort of fraud prevention and support.
From what I've seen by following photographers and artists sometimes with "risque content", Instagram is successfully strict about it. Sometimes people get away with female nipples minimally censored but anytime that's involved you run a very high risk your photograph will be taken down or the whole account banned if you keep being "into" that in your feed. I think a lot depends on how many complaints Instagram is receiving. They're also OK with butts. Blood/gore/violence is pretty tabooo, even in comic book form. @sirjoancornella has for example had trouble with Instagram. That's how adult Instagram let themselves become from what I can tell over the years.
...or maybe you could use some help!
I think you need to go back and reread what I posted:

> Apple's walled garden is _A_ store.

Well obviously. Please quote me where I said otherwise.

> One of several.

Feel free to list all the other app stores on the iPhone.
And that is bullshit. As long as you're not just changing the resolution of the seat's screens, it's a completely different model, for all intents and purposes.
From apples blog "And developers, from first-time engineers to larger companies, can rest assured that everyone is playing by the same set of rules."

This is the key issue spotify has, Apple music is not playing by the same rules, in fact their monopoly on the app store its undermining Spotifies fair competition.

Its undermining it becuase Apple Music a direct competitor of Spotify effectivly doesnt pay the 30% Apple tax which makes it hugely cheaper.

If Spotify dodge the tax to make it able to compete on price, then Apple then abuse the monopoly it has on the store to prevent Spotify from advertising a premium option, it prevents them from offering or completeing the upgrade, it prevents them from linking to a landing page to describe Spotify business model, it prevents them fron doing anything or Apple will pull the app off the store.

The only way Spotify could "compete" if it takes the 30% on the chin, dramatically reduce its profits and investment it can make compared to Apple Music and it will be bullied down.

There are other arguments here to with Apple slapping restrictions on Spotify, not allowing for years to release an Apple Watch app etc but they are grey.

I also heard opinion that UX is much worse than with physical controls. Indeed if you design the UI poorly, but this is not the Tesla's case. And I would yet have to see any physical UI that can be improved during the car's lifetime.
> which is the definition of a monopoly.

Like Walmart has a monopoly on shelf space at walmart.

Apple does not have a monopoly on neither Phones nor on application markets for phones. They have a very attractive market, which they control, but not a monopoly.
If you compare steam to the PlayStation Store, or the XBox marketplace, their sales are much bigger, much deeper, and much cheaper still.
Big tobacco had "benefits to society" w/r/t the number of jobs it created, and the aggregated money that it re-invested in other businesses.

Rationalizing around individual experience buries the fact that the consumer well being is absolutely not necessary in a quarterly report: you individually gain something with FB or big tobacco; I individually loose something with FB or big tobacco. And vice-versa. In the end, the forces that matter are not tied to us as individual but to the company (or even, the industry) as a whole. Which is to say it is tied to performance, stake holders, legislation, and so on.

The only self-regulation that a company like FB (or Philip Morris) is willing to apply, is one that improve it's financial performance. Why would it do otherwise? Morality, good or bad, is a not a product of capitalism. The fact that you gain and I loose from these decisions is a happy accident, not an intentional result.
> Paper ballots stop secret cameras in the ballot room?

And neither do touchscreens. Paper is better if it's not done comically wrong.

And even the worst paper ballots have a much smaller attack surface for plain old analog rumors than the best possible electronic system. The most powerful way to undermine a democracy is not flipping some votes to one candidate in perfect secrecy, it's making all candidates/camps believe that the other did. This could destroy a democracy even without a single vote having actually been tampered with.

Electronic voting, only understood by experts, is perfect soil for such rumors and no amount of open sourcing can change that. The many human counters involved in a hierarchical paper vote counting scheme are not just an unfortunate inefficiency left over from a time when machines could not count yet, they also serve as witnesses, not only for keeping their peers in check but also for dampening any unfounded rumors that might come up. They increase trust even when they are not actively speaking up against rumors, just by being there, in numbers, as passive dampening elements like the moderator rods in a fission plant.
"I wonder why companies are getting carried away with this kind of profit destroying greed again and again. They are killing their own golden goose. "

Could simply be that they dont know what the world will look like in 5 years so they might as well cash out while they can. No use playing the long game when the next big game changer could be around the corner?

The author never made clear if they are measuring virtual memory usage, or physical memory usage. Having a lot of virtual memory does not "cost" much: it's just having permission to use a lot of memory if you so wish. It's possible to have huge chunks of your virtual address space with no physical memory backing them. Physical memory is the amount of physical RAM your process is using.

Yes, that remains very unclear. Only physical memory is interesting in the end, address space exhaustion is not on issue on most systems today and large pages are typically not used. The graphs have "virtual", "dirty" and "clean" in them.

"clean" normally means that the page in RAM is just a copy of a mass storage. If the kernel runs short of memory, it can use this page for other purposes. No harm done, except that the system gets slower when it needs to page in the same page later.

"dirty" normally means that the page in RAM is not backed by mass storage. The kernel must keep it reserved for the current purpose in order not to lose data.

If we assume that author's application does not do swapping (it really shouldn't for 230 MB, otherwise the machine is seriously overloaded and really slow) all heap in use is always dirty. The amount of dirty equals usage of physical RAM.

I am not sure which Linux tool that can easily report the use of physical RAM for the heap. Would RssAnon from /proc/self/status be a good approximation? It certainly contains the stack, too. But that should not grow a lot unless you have infinite recursion.
That's very innocent and naive of you to believe, though of course it's easy to write off any corporate misbehaviour as "solving business needs".

Steve Jobs originally tried to keep the ObjC compiler frontend to GCC proprietary but was forced to open source it due to GPL requirements. Needless to say he hated the GPL ever since that episode and of course jumped on the opportunity to fund a competitor with a non-copyleft license.

What are you going to put in the space above it? You don't want to put the driver or passengers there, they need the protection of the crumple zone. And anything else impedes the view of the driver.
it sounds like the benefits of the line is the flexibility, not necessarily efficiency gains. I think the idea of the article is that fixed production is a business weakness in today's fast moving consumer market.

This also doesn't sound like something Tesla needs yet, as this seems to be great for building different types of cars based on demand rather than maxing a single car output.
That referred more to your friend. The "having to yell at him because basically he was the only adult in his life that kept him in check". It sounds honestly like an excuse making and rationalization.

Not that I never yelled at kids. I did. But this reaction on that situation sound like that.
My car history includes Fords, Mazdas and Skodas (VW group), so nothing Japanese.
(Edit: Apart from the Mazda.... Obviously.....)

I don't know if the parent was talking about major crashes, or reliability issues, 2 weeks in the shop would be my limit of acceptability for any car, a month, I'd be asking for my money back assuming it were a reliability issue. And multiple 2 week waits or a month wait, I wouldn't be buying from that manufacturer or dealer again, whatever the reason.

Is that my European point of view? have I been amazingly lucky?
I can guarantee you that every time I take my sight off the road, even down to speed/rev/consumption/etc screen behind the steering wheel, I can't properly register whats happening in front of me. Have enough driving experience in various cars to see this is consistent. I can clearly register car in front of me slamming the brakes or similar bright event, but for example a deer running across the road, nope. Or car changing lane, especially without any lights on during day (btw why the heck is this not mandatory everywhere, all the time? it can literally save lives every single effin' day).

Central panel is much worse in this - there can be an atomic blast on the horizon and I wouldn't notice it, its just too far on periphery of the vision. It is bad, it is lame, and what is/was perceived as 'premium' feature is actually cheaping out on customers.

I have 15-year old beamer which doesn't even support mp3, and on board computer means it shows me outside temperature and consumption. Everything is manual, with dedicated knobs of various shapes. I love it and wouldn't want anything else (which is worrying since this stupid trend took over whole car industry and eventually I will have to switch my car).
Huh, that's cool. I'd actually like a car where the controls are all big old levers. And yes, I prefer driving cars with manual transmissions.
