Maybe I'm in the minority here, but I have no problem with touch screens in cars. My problem with is with the horrible UI those touch screens provide. They're slow to respond and don't seem well reasoned for the functions it has.

It's why I love Carplay. It expands the function of the car in a needed way. Maybe analog controls are better, but interface matters less to me than function.

You're misunderstanding the rant.

There are some interfaces which are absolutely superior when provided as picture under multi-touch glass.

Superior to what? I think you mean superior to mouse + keyboard, and superior to a physical map. The author agrees with you, as he clarified in a followup [1] to the rant:

> [Do I think the iPad is bad?] No! iPad good! For now!

Do you remember the first time you used a map on a smooth multi-touch screen?

He goes on:

> In 1900, Eastman's new Kodak camera was good! The film was black-and-white, but everyone loved it anyway. It was genuinely revolutionary! But it was also obvious that something was missing, and research continued. Practical color film was released thirty years later, and gradually took over.

> [...]

> Today, iPad good. It's flat and glassy and everyone loves it anyway. It's genuinely revolutionary. But if all we have in twenty years is an iPad with a few haptic gimmicks, that'll be bad.

The first time you used a map on a smooth multi-touch screen, it was genuinely revolutionary—hopefully, you'll be similarly impressed the first time you use a map with purpose-built physical controls (not mouse + keyboard), but that is also dynamic (like a computer/tablet/smartphone). Maybe it'll be something like this: https://rsnous.com/posts/notes-from-dynamicland-geokit/

It is wide ranging for sure. I think most starting assistant professors start in the 50 to 75k range. In Cal State, your salary will start on the lower end, and go up incrementally. If in the University of California system, it will start in the upper end, and within 6-10 years, your salary will have doubled.
Serious question.

Why do people use Uber Eats? One of the benefits of living in an Urban area is the ability to walk places. I also get using Uber eats if you’re ordering in with family or friends.

That’s not what I see with Uber eats. I see people ordering one sub from Firehouse. Or a burger from McDonald’s. I’ve never felt so lazy I needed to tip someone and pay extra for McDonald’s or Chipotle and I can be lazy.

Same with grocery shopping. I’d never pay extra to have someone do it for me but it’s pretty popular in my area.
"Liberty" might not be completely off the mark. You can get into the habit of looking over your own shoulder all the time, interrogating your every expression and action for what an unsympathetic stranger might make of it and how it might be used against you. And that consciousness doesn't only extend to spaces where you know you're being monitored, because you can't know where and when and how you're being monitored. So you eventually experience it all the time.
The take-away from this is that

- several (maybe most) state universities in the US publish the salaries of their professors. Some state universities publish comprehensive (creepy?) granular data, e.g., a spreadsheet with each row displaying professor name, professor salary, rank, department.

- aggregated statistics (across all fields, all ranks, tenure-track/non-tenure-track, etc) are useless because of the variance.

If you are getting an offer from a professor position, you can get very precise salary expectations by looking at this granular data. For instance, lookup the salary of professors in the hiring department joined a year or two before your offer. GlassDoor information pales in comparison.

I think you're setting this up as a "just following orders" argument on the part of the NP, which justifiably should be shot down. But this isn't just her following orders, it's her asking for an opinion on something outside of her knowledge. Just because she had a gut feeling that he was wrong doesn't make her culpable. _Nurses should accept the opinions of doctors in regard to diagnoses because the doctors have specifically trained for this to a much greater extent than nurse practitioners._
Or the first time it got taken to court instead of settled by everyone involved.
This guy knows how to do PR and advertising properly to generate massive amounts of buzz.

There was this article about the MDH where he outlined the exact PR strategy including hiring one of the best PR consultant at the time (sadly I can't find it because I'm on a phone). Point being, the site wasn't an accidental success like a lot of people think it was.

Sure it wasn't 100% guaranteed to be successful as nothing is, but the launch and PR was done like an engineering project. No wonder he is doing it over and over.
Maybe. In some places, it's "lecturer" or "instructor". In addition, I looked up one individual I know is an adjunct, and his title was just "adjunct" on the department page. I suppose it's possible there's a more official database wherein his title is adjunct professor.

Perhaps there's a difference in terminology? My sense is that in academic circles, adjunct is now frequently used not for a specific position/title, but for the class of professionals who are hired on a semester by semester basis and paid by the class. Whereas the assistant/associate/full professor ladder is well defined most places, the adjunct position is more of an afterthought. It's temporary/disposable labor.
Seems like a bit of a silly solution. Personally, I wouldn’t need financial incentive not to have devices on my network be associated with illegal activity.
> A heavily vibrating vehicle which needs to be operated quickly and with 100% reliability by a human operator really should not be operated via a proliferation of touch screens and touch buttons as the images above show.

In fairness to SpaceX, Dragon largely isn't designed to be operated by a human. There's a reason that page calls out stuff like "how warm should the cabin be" as the sort of decisions being made with these touchscreens.
Adjunct/non-tenure faculty should be kept in mind. Depending on the school, somewhere between 40% and 70% is quite typical for instructors that are not paid a salaried wage. Instead, they typically received a certain amount per course taught.

The overall average for this is about $3,000/course, but I believe this is brought down by small private & for-profit schools. At a typical public school $4000/course is a good rule of thumb. Teaching more than 4 courses is a significant load, and some schools limit it to 3 or 4 courses/semester, but let's assume 4 courses in the spring, 4 in the fall, 2 in the summer. That puts the yearly gross at $40,000/year. That's probably a livable wage in many parts of the country, but keep in mind this does not include things like sick or vacation pay, health insurance, retirement plans, or other benefits.

EDIT: I should point out that the above is, for the most part, a best-case scenario for adjuncts. It often isn't possible to get full teaching loads, or doing so requires piecing together a course here or there at multiple schools. Income in the $25,000 range is not uncommon.

CGA/EGA/VGA is supposed to have a pixel aspect ratio of 1:1.2 in 320x200 mode. If you adjusted the monitor to give 1:1 square pixels, then this was unusual.

I think without trying this opinion before a court, you have no idea.

Samsung may have reserved the right to modify the software, but I've literally seen smart tvs from Samsung that have a "Netflix" button on the physical remote.

They have shipped tv boxes that clearly and prominently display the Netflix app on the tv.

If the Netflix button on the remote no longer works, the tv is not doing what the user bought it to do and what it was advertised as being capable of.
I've never had a problem with it, but I also don't look at them while driving, and so forth. Maybe I'm the drunk driver who thinks he can totally drive better when he's drunk, but I've been driving 20+ years and never had an issue.

OTOH, I also evaluate and will not talk if I don't feel comfortable (poor road conditions, etc).

How does HN de-dupe stuff? In the past when I’ve submitted something that was a dupe it took me to the already posted link instead of making a new one. Curious why that didn’t happen here.

Really good article, gave me a lot to think about. I think the nature metaphor is a good one, though it doesn’t fill me with optimism for the future of ambient privacy.
So is that a "yes, it's possible" or "no, it's impossible"? "Theoretically it's possible" sounds like it's possible. Saying "here are some examples of things that didn't happen" doesn't prove that they, or anything else, can't happen.

Depends on how it's set up precisely, ADS-B will still require power from somewhere. At some point in MH370's flight all the power systems were turned off for a bit so unless it's connected to it's own battery and ADS-B would still be disconnected.
LOL. Not likely. The history of the proof is interesting. It was the first major proof that was done by computer. It reduced the set of graphs to about 2,000 and then brute forced it. Some refused to accept this was a "proof" in the traditional sense.
Only my purist sensibilities prefer the idea of a TV that doesn't even have apps. But I know I can simply abstain from connecting the TV to the network. Seems like a non-issue.

An entry-level 32" Samsung is $200. I wouldn't be surprised if having "smart" capabilities subsidized the cost because Samsung gets kickbacks from, say, new Netflix subscriptions made from the TV itself, or some services pay for inclusion. In other words I don't even think you'd be avoiding any serious $premium by finding a dumb TV.
Yup. The other number that came to mind was the alternative that would actually work on big ships - big nukes. US carriers are nuclear powered, but most of the power produced is NOT electricity, it can only be used for propulsion.

I'm sure cruise passengers are more wasteful than the average person at home or in an office, but the tremendous amount of power needed to drive a huge lump through the ocean at any reasonable pace dwarfs the pumps in the infinity pool and the blaring music and all the rest. And that's going to have to come from somewhere.

The NP did not try to do the right thing. Given the facts outlined in the article, a qualified medical professional would have sent the patient to a hospital (emergency room) regardless of the opinion of the consulting MD's who did not see the patient. Why? Because the NP did see the patient. Why take an off the cuff opinion of a MD who hasn't examined the patient or seen his charts (all info was given verbally over the phone) as absolute? Note, many seem to interpret the refusal of admission as an inability to go to a hospital, that is not the case. The emergency room was still available.

IMO, there was failure at all levels. The NP failed, the consulting doctors failed, the hospital chain failed. Systemic failure.
>Facebook's reputation outside HN is not bad

It depends who you talk to. The only people I know who still use, or don't hold a negative view of, Facebook are my parents, grandparents, and other old people who certainly won't be purchasing Facebook's "cryptocurrency". The vast majority of the young people I talk to, as well as other engineers, have a negative view of Facebook and don't use their services (aside from maybe Instagram). The latter is the group that would potentially be interested in crypto, but they won't be buying it from Facebook. Personally, I hope Facebook fails spectacularly
I don't think its clickbait, a lot of projects in the crypto space claim to be like bitcoin but better, bitcoin is the foundation upon which a lot of projects showcase themselves to potential users, usually in the first few paragraphs of the white paper.

This coin might look interesting, but for all of the wrong reasons.
So, people shouldn't have ''unlimited'' access to the Internet, because they've had IoT garbage forced upon them and its their ''responsibility'' to manage it, when they usually can't actually control it anyway?

Not only that, but a DDoS is usually only an issue for a large central location that is perhaps part of this manner of problem, anyway.

They can go to Hell.
"I can get from A to B on foot. I can even ride a horse and be there 10x faster. It's sort of a constructive proof that you don't need cars."
You've pointed out that the omnipresence and logistics of cars are fundamental to entire cultures and cities, and yet when something new is introduced that clashes with that, you're claiming that the people calling for the revocation of the new thing are gaslighted by "proponents" of the established thing - the thing that is cemented into the design of the world already. Given the options to roll back the scooters or redesign a part of civilization, though the latter may be an ideal, surely the parents of the dead calling for the former are not being unreasonable, and even more surely are not "gaslighted"?

My current Mazda with CarPlay enforces this already. When you are moving, the touch functionality is disabled and you must use the physical buttons (dpad / rotating wheel combination) to navigate.
Yeah, as I said, I get why the SmartTVs are popular. They serve a purpose, they're hella convenient. I guess the inner-engineer inside of me has problems with close-coupling.
The suicides were Foxconn employees, Foxconn being a company that is used by nearly every electronics manufacturer. Apple was reportedly alone in addressing the underlying issues by increasing requirements on Foxconn and other suppliers.

In the UK you can request a SIM transfer code but it takes at least a few days - there's plenty of time to catch it and stop it before someone transfers your SIM. Why can't American operators do the same? Just say "you have received your request, please wait 7 days for it to be processed" - why does it have to be instant?

I think the big one for me would be radio and temp. I assume no one in their right mind would put lights or cruise control behind a touch screen, but I could be wrong there.

And maybe part of it is me being set in my old man ways, but I don't want a touch screen for any of that. Probably the only 2 things I can see being useful on that screen are the reverse camera and GPS that talks to you and you can glance at it occasionally.

Anything else should have real controls.
I too am glad Mazda did this, now I have to decide if I want to trade in my 2018 Mazda 3 for a 2019 one :-).

Touch screens are cheap, mechanical switches are expensive. Mechanicals are expensive from an acquisition cost, tooling/manufacturing cost, maintenance cost, and replacement cost. So automakers were happy to move everything into the touch screen and reduce these costs and boost their margin.

I hope Mazda will be able to hold this line with their accountants.
I agree, this document is really only useful for historical development.

However, it is useful for tracking down some history. I've been trying to track down this expression: "All men are mortal; Socrates is a man; therefore Socrates is mortal". It's often quoted, but no one gave me a source. Using this old book I managed to track it back to at least A System of logic... by John Stuart Mill, 1843, Book II Chapter 3 page 245. https://archive.org/details/systemoflogicrat01millrich/page/...
The quote may be even older, but that was still a help.

If anyone knows an older source, I'd love to know. But that at least helped.

Anyway: while this document is only useful for its historical connection, as a way to investigate the history of logic it's interesting.

Could you clarify what 'one tenured faculty role' means?

The link you gave says "The granting of Tenure, discussed in “Tenure and Promotion on the Charles River Campus”, is a separate guarantee that is not implied by any of the titles discussed in this section."

The tenure document, for example, says that 'The award of tenure to an Assistant Professor shall include promotion to the rank of Associate Professor.' So 'tenured associate professor' is a tenured faculty role, in addition to the 'tenured professor' faculty, such as http://www.bu.edu/wheelock/dr-leslie-dietiker-promoted-to-as... .

My point is that we have set up these systems that have us all skating on thin ice, and when people inevitable fall through (or are pulled under by thieves) we have almost no recourse, unless we happen to be well-connected to the internal workings of these machines.

Sci-fi author Larry Niven has written a number of stories partly exploring the "Ship of Theseus" idea extended to organ transplants and medicine. In one future from Larry Niven's Sci-fi stories, organ transplants could cure almost anything and even extend life. As a result, more and more criminal infractions started to carry the death penalty, in indirect response to the demand for more organs. Such a process would be easier to initiate in a government structure like China's, where there are fewer powerful means of ensuring government accountability, and where individual rights are not enshrined. The current climate in 2019 in the West, where mob rule can result in trial by social media, is also concerning in relation to this scenario.
We didn't get hit with the tax thing in Europe when we were last there but we did have Canadian border crossing guards give us grief about it. Luckily/sadly, there's no money in black metal so they laughed at our estimate and told us to get going.
I remember reading an obsecure paper hacking a smart TV through the radio antenna after which WiFi could be turned on.

It was a work of art and sounded almost fictional. In the end the attacker would turn on WiFi and control the TV for not just one, any TV in radius, or execute a payload to connect back to a CnC for tvs out of range. It would work even if the TV was in standby.

Patching this particular vuln would have been difficult, though the attacker would have to craft a payload specific to the make and model. It's a nice example where adding features increases attack surface, and protecting against such hacks even for the experienced is near impossible.

Would make for a good HN submission.

The most common way to do this is to have the Photos app on MacOS set to "download originals," then use whatever backup solution you like best.
I highly recommend setting this up. Last month through some sort of iCloud glitch my fiancé lost almost all of her photos from before the beginning of this year. We've escalated it to their highest tiers of support but the photos are gone. Redundancy is important, and even the best providers aren't foolproof. It was devastating to lose all of those memories.

For the long term I would agree. But in the short term, I think it's way to risky to rely on non-existent/unproven technologies to solve the current climate crisis. We simply don't have time for experiments.

I heard a very inserting TED talk[0] about the wolves in Yellowstone, actually indirectly changing the course of the river, and returning much of Yellowstone to its previous glory. The speaker wants to reintroduce these mega faunae all over the world. I don't remember if he brings up the elk or not.
