Meh, this is just the latest fad with 'scholars' ...the whole thing about how The Dark Ages weren't really dark, has been going on for about 20 years now... there are good reasons that this period is called the dark ages.

I suspect it will die a slow death, just like the 'The Civil War wasn't about slavery' schtick.
Amazon’s strength is their logistics network. Any co-op you’ve just described will have an incredibly difficult time competing on shipping prices and speed of delivery.
I owned a Model X for a couple of years. I didn't go back to the "German crew," but I did go "back" to an I-PACE. Maybe it's just my lifestyle, but I never need more than about 120 miles of range in any given day. Give me a car that can go about 250 miles, and I'm perfectly happy with the range part of the equation. Differentiate on things like the quality of the interior and the handling, and you have my business.
It's much faster is one big reason. For instance I tend to have quite a lot of tabs/windows open at any given time and generally do not shut down my computer or close my windows. And Firefox starts to crawl in this scenario both in terms of very poor performance as well as its countless memory leaks. Brave works fine without needing regular restarts.

But really I think one of the coolest features is one click per-site configuration of scripts/cookies/fingerprinting. For instance most paywalls that have pop-in paywalls to try to 'tease' the user rely on scripts. This paywall is now removed by clicking the lion icon (in the top right) and then clicking on scripts blocked. And this is automatically then saved per site.

Another neat little feature is similar one-click functionality for single-instance Tor windows. Imagine a site is geoblocked, blocked by your government, or you'd simply like to see what a site would return from another country or with no information at all on you. You can right click on a link and select 'Open link in private window with Tor', and you can then similarly change identities with a single click. Awesome stuff.

All this said, I think the GP comment is correct. I'm attracted to Brave because of these sorts of features and I will never once enable ads, even if I'm paid to do so. In my, perhaps eccentric, opinion I think ads are psychologically harmful at scale. Everybody thinks they are not affected by ads, yet look at consumer behavior at large and we've become incredibly irrational market actors. And companies continue to pump out trillions of dollars on ad spending. One of these groups is right, and I think it's clear which one. As such, I'm not arrogant enough to believe myself immune to such effect, so yeah - no thanks.

Valcambi was acquired by Indian company Rajesh exports sometime back.

"Rajesh Exports has, through its fully-owned subsidiary in Singapore, fully acquired European Gold Refineries, the 100 per cent holding company of Valcambi, in an all-cash deal of $400 million (around Rs.2,560 crore)."

[just nitpicking]
Not sure how much faith I have in a 3rd party modified i3 that has a claimed (but untested) range of 435 miles. After all you can take a regular Tesla model 3 and drive 1000km if you are hyper miling.

The main problem is unlike ICE cars that generally have so much wasted energy that temperature, speed, terrain, and driving style do not have a particularly large impact on range. In comparison electric cars are so efficient that elevation changes, cold temperatures, and running the AC or heater can make big differences. In particular speed can make a huge difference. A model 3 with a 300 or so mile range can go over 600 miles when hyper miling. To help with that the community consensus is to take all range estimates with a grain of salt until you see the EPA range.

Said claimed 435 mile range was not tested by the EPA.

Keep in mind that the battery packs Audi e-tron is using is as almost the same size (95 kw vs 100 kw), but is providing radically less range (208 miles vs 370). So clearly the Tesla is crazy more efficient. Given the expense and weight of the batteries, clearly Audi would have made a more efficient car... if they could.
We can still hope.

Give it time, it will pass.

"Operating cash flow less capex should be positive in every quarter including Q2. As the impact of higher deliveries and cost reduction

I was surprised by your claim so I checked... the Tesla website currently allows me to configure a Model 3 that is $39,500 before discounts for estimated delivery in two weeks. Not $35k but far less than $48k too.

In that case, you haven't entered into an agreement whereby advertisers may know the contents of your phone conversations in order to better target you with ads. If you had, I imagine SCOTUS would rule differently. It seems to me that this debate is merely about price. If the police were buying your location data off of a service that offered it, how would they be any different than advertisers?
Hacker Can Monitor Cars and Kill Engine by Breaking into GPS Tracking Apps
I don't think you have any basis to say it is "quite easy" based off that article. You obviously can just keep throwing more batteries in a car, but can you do it at a reasonable cost while also making it safe and keeping the heat in check to maximize charging speed and the life of the battery like Tesla does?
Why should specifics of what is said matter if the point is free speech?
Bureaucracy like this is what kills teams and products. There's no guarantee it works, and every change or commit should already have privacy and data protection in mind anyway. You also don't know what you don't know - you could for all your knowledge think that nothing is being logged, when in fact there's a subsystem outside your scope that's actually doing the logging.

You assert that it's trivial, yet you're adding more layers to protect against something like that from happening. It's the naivety that all problems are trivial is what gets people and companies into trouble in the first place
I missed the lowercase i on first read. I'll comment anyway in case this helps others. Hacker's Keyboard from f-droid has an escape key. If using the compact layout you can get to it by holding the tab key. I think on the full layout it has a more traditional placement.

I think the issue is that the author doesn't establish a clear thesis from the very beginning. Additionally, the bizarre nature of the thesis and long run-on sentences only serve to confuse the reader as to what it is exactly that he is trying prove or disprove.

What the Airbnb surge means for UK cities
Propose HN: 'Countless' experiment – hiding all karmic integers
I'd like HN to experiment with a "countless" view of the site for a week. As in: all
vote, karma, and comment counts are removed from all pages sitewide.
An example of this idea is here: https://i.imgur.com/OzE8qgq.png

I suggest this as a mandatory-for-all sitewide test, as otherwise the
compulsion to see integer counts (such as karma) will fork HN into two
distinct communities operating within the same shared space. I believe
that this experiment is valuable only if everyone participates, and
since the data will remain present on the back end, no harm is done to
anyone's preferred integers of choice while the experiment is underway.

I believe this would be a good experiment for HN as I worry that HN is
unintentionally causing addictive feedback loops with its pervasive
use of counts.
Counts are already today hidden in scenarios where the admins
seem to have determined that people behave more appropriately when
they are unable to see a precise integer ranking of other's approval.
I'd like to give the HN community a chance to experience the value of
HN without the pressure of integer-ranking altogether.

The voting algorithms need not be modified for this experiment, as we
already are able to flag comments and posts effectively without being
able to see how many flags are present. The front-page links that say
whether comments are present or not would simply be replaced with the
word 'discuss' to remove the pressure to 'be seen' participating in
posts, permitting one's interest in the post and/or topic to become
the sole determining factor for participation.

I hope that HN is willing to entertain and implement this experiment and am curious to hear how the community feels about the idea.
I have a couple cans of SPAM in the pantry. Should last me a few years.
This is the world we live in now. Doesn’t matter if you actually harmed someone. What matters now is whether someone feels you as doing harm. The word of the person who perceives harm is taken as fact and the accused has little to no recourse or defense.

At this point, the easier route to getting a text-based browser to support something like this would be creating a new one based on WebKit/Blink.

It would probably need to get the engine to draw to a fake screen buffer and run an OCR algorithm over that. And even if the OCR and layout worked well, there would be a lot other work necessary to get reasonable text based interactivity, though that's probably partially solved by projects like Vimium. Some interactions like dragging would likely never be supported.

Not easy at all, but somehow more reasonable than updating lynx to support all of today's new technologies. I wonder if anyone's already tried something like it.
The framework works just fine. But it is in the warmongers' interest to blur the lines - writing off acts of aggression as not war (yet somehow still not crime) hinders democratic oversight. Meanwhile propagandizing that we're in some continual low level war (just as in 1984) increases their status, lines their pockets, implies a need for wider society to sacrifice, and justifies the use of a massive standing army for mercenary operations.

Framing remote bit twiddling itself as war is frankly ridiculous. Attempted exploits are the Internet's background radiation - its sine qua non is to cross jurisdictions!

If a hacking incident deliberately causes missiles to launch, or disables communication/defenses as a prelude to a physical attack, I'd call that an act of war. Anything short of this overt nature is simply negligence by someone not securing their systems before blithely hooking them up to the Internet, and then looking for an ominous scapegoat after they can't simply bust up some 12 year old's bedroom to soothe their own ego.

I do look forward to seeing if the snake oil industry starts backpeddling on all that state actor saber rattling, now that they will be getting hired to write reports justifying insurance coverage.
This is the logic that makes everyone move their workflow into emacs. A lot of what we do is text editing, so having a good text editor everywhere makes sense. Some programs like mutt can also drop in to your editor of choice when composing an email. Imagine if we all had vim for typing up these HN comments. I'd like something like this to be more feasible. Maybe there could be a standard for forums that gives you vim editing in the same way many give you markdown. It could also be cool to support org-mode syntax.

I wish Stephen Hawking were still around.
Agreed. Seems like Tesla may have misjudged the model 3 demand and should have increased the number of production lines more slowly. I think in Fremont factory has 6 lines. One for X, one for S, and 4 for the model 3. Seems like they should just move one or two of the lines from model 3 to the model Y, which shares 75% of the same parts instead of committing to building several new lines in Reno and China.

While the model 3 may be luxury, it looks crazy cheap compared to the electric Audi, Volvo, BMW, and Porsche competitors... doubly so if you consider range. The model 3 even looks pretty good on a cost to own basis compared to non-luxury cars like the Toyota Camry or Honda accord.

The cheapest Tesla (around $40k these days), isn't too far off the average cost of a new car ($34,000) and most will save easily $6k in maintenance and gas over the life of the car. I suspect most would consider the model 3 interior too spartan and plasticy to be consider luxury.
I think this is why a lot of people still handle issues via email. It integrates well with the classic text editors.
This is all 100% up to the user. Brave simply blocks all ads by default. If the user chooses they can disable ad blocking, including on a per site basis. The user can also, if they choose to do so, display 'cleaned' ads. So you have three tiers of options:

- no ads

- native ads

- cleaned ads

It's totally up to the user to choose what they want.
> Unfortunately, a growing number of university students equate being made uncomfortable in the classroom with being “harmed.”

University is a place of learning as they say. An important thing to learn is how to exert power over those around you. One way of doing that is to leverage the irrationality of large institutions in your favor.

Large institutions, including whole countries, buy into different ideologies at different times. And so, to exert power over someone you just have to denounce them as not falling in line with the current ideology. You can then bet on the system "crushing" them so to speak without you lifting a finger.

In a communist totalitarian country, if you didn't like your neighbor's haircut, just tell the police they engaged in propaganda against the workers' party, and there is a good change their livelihood could get considerably worse. It just takes one phone call.

Want ruin someone's life in US today? Call child protective services and tell them you saw their kids playing unsupervised outside and you're "very worried" and hang up. Then watch them get house and work visits for quite a while.

Going back to the article at hand, I suspect there is a similar process happening in some of these cases. For every student actually feeling harmed by a professor like this, there is a student who realizes they can claim they are harmed, and then they can both eliminate the professor, and gain social standing points for "standing up" and "fighting against the system". Two birds with one stone so to speak. That is indeed a very important and valuable lesson to learn.

> Last April, I was informed that my contract would expire in one year—and was then assigned to teach two classes of the very same required Sanford course, one in the fall and one this spring, in which I supposedly had a tendency to harm students. If Sanford actually believed their own rhetoric, they would be guilty of knowingly endangering their students.

This is beautiful. Pure ideology at work. You can tell because of the ridiculous contradiction at play. Everyone in the game knows that the professor didn't harm anyone, otherwise why the heck would they ask him to teach another class. But they also know that they will suffer a similar fate if they don't fall in line.
More than that, it's just a Chrome browser with Ad Block by default.
I was under the impression you could also pay the content producer directly to bypass ads, which is IMHO the ideal solution. Is this no longer viable?
I'm still trying to figure out the root cause. Is it because, production is not keeping up to demand? Or is it because demand is dying? So far it seems former, not later. Some analysts are saying random things like impact of tax credit and competition coming in to EV market. I still don't see anything close to Tesla offering in EV space, at least in US.

They really need to focus on offering EV at $18K price point with 300 mile range. Keep self-driving stuff for later. I love Tesla and hope they would come through this.

> If everyone uses either of your suggested options the publishers go broke and there is no content to view.

This is absolute bullshit: people will pay more than they realize for content, and people will produce it for free. One way or another people will consume content. We should all encourage the reduction of useless crap on the internet that exists solely to drive ad views. The faster we all block ads the faster we move past ads.

I suspect if literally everyone on the internet blocked ads today, we would have an extremely short time of excellent free content + paid subscription content before moving to a micro-transaction model.

I haven't tried it yet, but that should still make it as useful as pasting text into vim to make changes quickly. Things like highlighting a sentence and making it all lowercase or uppercase is very simple. (v/V/C-v for one of the visual mode selection types, then pressing u after the select makes it all lowercase, and ~ can swap case if you had capslock on and typed "sOMETHING LIKE THIS"). There's also :sort for quick alphabetizing and the classic :s/word1/word2 text replacement.
FYI - I've put up the extracted data and a quick visualisation here - https://thequarterly.org/S-1.html

Surprisingly, it doesn't look like the overall number of IPOs is any higher this year than in the past.
I might be holding my phone, I might just not be near a keyboard, I might be controlling a video game and use it for extra input...

And while I can type sentences pretty fast, sometimes I get bogged down with things like code and entering special characters and being able to subvocalize a single syllable to activate macros would be pretty nice. (Yes I know you could do that without a brain interface, but the point is that hands are limited.)

Wickham's book is extremely hard to read - and as a matter of fact, I've never pulled off reading it to the end, even on the 3rd try. The issue is he's extremely meticulous, and goes on ad nauseam on methodology, on what to make of the sources he's referencing, and so forth. This is all extremely interesting, mind you. But the amount of methodological asides is such that you rapidly lose track of where you were in the narrative, and it's easy to go through a chapter without remembering what the first few pages were about, or indeed anything at all.

For the others in the series I've no idea. They've been on my reading list forever.
They can really do whatever they want and get away with it. I can't say I'm surprised.
