No! I don't want everything automatic!

What happens when the wiper sensor malfunctions - now you're scrambling to find the manual controls to shut the damn thing off (if you even can!) Maybe it wipes faster or slower than you prefer. Same thing goes for headlamps.

For every "automatic" system you add to a vehicle, that is just one more thing that can malfunction and I find car repairs to be the most gigantic waste of time and money.

Look, we've proved out the whole "button" concept, and it just works. It's super easy and cheap to replace when it breaks. My car is not a toy, it is a utility. I want the features from the expensive "toy" cars to stay the hell away from my vehicle.

Is there something wrong with that? The BlackBerry form factor is the best one, in my opinion. This reply was written from one.
Meh, one dose of LSD can lead to permanent brain damage too, so..
How hard would it be to let dosbox emit a newer container format? I remember AVI being quite bad re overhead.
"Anyways, my VW has assisted emergency braking. I've had opposite issues - water splashes across sensor and the car brakes for no good reason. Generally going through a large shallow puddle and moderate speed. Happened 2 or 3 times and now I disable when driving near the beach after rain."

Your "issue" is essentially the system being extra safe - similar to slowing down when a bunch of water hits your windshield. Seems highly appropriate to me.
The subtlety feels a bit more complex to me. It seems as though it's more about not blindly accepting the conclusions of others.

Creating his own understanding of underlying truth was his true talent.
I use Ubuntu inside Virtualbox at work, but it has caused almost everyone on my team issues at some point - the whole thing freezing and needing to be restarted, very laggy GUI (scrolling in VS Code gets ugly), network connectivity issues when switching WiFi hotspots (also doesn't work with Starbucks), running out of hard disk space if you didn't allocate enough to begin with, to name a few. Sure, there are always workarounds, but the time and productivity it has costed my team would have easily justified
getting a Mac, which IT thinks is too expensive :shrug:.
Some cities have solar drones flying circles overhead constantly, recording. When somebody robs a house they check the footage, find when the guy drove off, and reverse the movie, tracking the car back to the guy leaving home. Then they go there and make the arrest. Like a time machine, for crime!
The way I came up with my attempt was just to notice that when you are looking at the probability of two independent events happening together, you multiply them;
and if you want the probability of A or B or both, you add them and then subtract the probability of (A and B). I guess the reason the multiplication rule doesn’t work for (A && A) is that those two variables are clearly not independent, since they’re the same variable.
This is a good place to remind everyone of Google Takeout [1]. Back up all of your data. Don't let this horror story happen to you.

My impression from this article was that author was talking about popular perception of classical music, not necessarily the historic truth. I don't know enough to argue about historical events, but I do know that popular perception is certainly very close to that description.
Interestingly I believe the sulphur oxide actually acts to decrease global warming so ...

Are you making this mistake while building your website?
Does it pollute in the sense that it damage ecosystems, introduces toxic material into food supplies? Microsplastics, for example, don't cause global warming, but they pollute and harm aquatic life. The topic of "global warming" was introduced exclusively in the comments, and now I fear we'll go down a rabbit hole of arguing about something that we think is on-topic but is actually a tangential-at-best point that was never made by the author.

> Audi, for instance has said that part of the reason it’s discontinuing its rotary controller is that a touchscreen better supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

This to me is insane reasoning. That is no way user centric. This decision is 100% business driven and has nothing to do with the end user.

That statement isn't true, Car Play support for me was a non-negotiable for the car I purchased two years ago. Another friend made Android Auto support a big factor in his decision and said he wouldn't buy another vehicle that didn't support it. From other conversations we don't seem to be outliers, that feature support is incredibly user(buyer) centric.
Cruise ships contribute almost nothing to global warming. There may be other reasons to ban them, but global warming isn't one of them.

If you buy the storefront of a company that went out of business, keep the signage so their old customers will come in looking for them, and install a conveyor belt that whisks them directly to your store instead, yeah, that's unethical.

There's honestly not a great meatspace analogy to the situation, no matter how you look at it. But it's clearly not the same as just buying foreclosed real estate.
It doesn't matter at all where they are flagged. They still have to comply with local regulations everywhere they operate. The US just fined Carnival $20M for dumping pollution in the Bahamas, and threatened to ban them from all US ports. It's a slap on the wrist, but it's one small example of how they can be punished regardless of where they're flagged.
The best I can piece together, as a layperson reading state statutes, is because the NH Division of Historical Records[1] was assigned a duty and a budget to preserve and disseminate information on NH history [2]. The NH Historical Marker program is a joint effort with the NH Department of Transportation, and it is the responsibility of the DOT to erect and maintain the signs after approval from the Division of Historical Records [3]. The DOT has authority to erect these signs on class I-III roads which are state owned and maintained [4].

There appears to be a separate statute governing the installation of markers along class IV and V roads which are maintained by cities and towns [5].

> The reality though is that it's not really exploitation because these often illegal workers don't really have any other options.

I'm sorry, but do you not realize how crazy that sounds? It's the equivalent of saying:

> "I’m not exploiting dehydrated hikers in the desert by selling water at $20/liter. It’s their only option"

Your example is a clear-cut case of exploitation.
There is such a thing as a bug or oversight and you found one. No need to get carried away w/ the blame game. Lots of other devices are experiencing this site just fine.
If I compare cyclists in London (and, there are a lot) to pretty much anywhere in the Netherlands. In the Netherlands, the cyclists are far better behaved.

I don't have to worry for my life walking on a pavement that in the next moment a cyclist may decide to go on the pavement because there is a red light on the road at full speed, or almost knock me over, going across a zebra crossing when the light is green for pedestrians. Cyclists in London seem to think they can go regardless and no rule applies to them.

It wouldn't be too surprising in such a circumstance that they don't particularly feel safer with bike lanes.

I don't think this is a numbers issue.
Hyper-V is already required for many security features like memory isolation. Also, Windows has an open hypervisor API (iirc QEMU is working on support for it) to allow other apps to leverage Hyper-V. VirtualBox hasn't really been competitive with VMWare or Hyper-V for a long time and many of it's key features are under the nonfree extension pack anyway. As a level 1 hypervisior--which by definition is a core part of the OS--Hyper-V will always have the advantage over third-party level 2s.
Decentralizing would mean more frequent local power outages as you cannot meet demand with local generation.

Decentralizing would force lower efficiency on power generation.
Do I think that a velvet divorce is better than a civil war? Yes. Do I think that “the strong do what they will and the weak suffer what they must” is a detestable thing? Of course. But wanting a thing doesn’t make it so.

Examining the question “can Hong Kong meaningfully vote for independence?” inherently requires examining the power relationships involved: Who has power? How do they view themselves? What incentives constrain/impel their actions?

That's orthogonal to the point you're responding to - the point is that while this is a promising avenue for research, it does not provide evidence of a meaningful effect on the actual outcome of interest: aging/longevity.

The point of a biomarker is that we think/hope/hypothesize that we can use it as a surrogate for the thing we're actually interested in, so that we have something measurable on shorter timescales. Unfortunately, this assumption is often incorrect, and we won't actually know for years.
The falacy is that only poor people want more money.
It's one way a Yubikey can work: Yubikey one time password (OTP). The more common (I think? Newer and standardized at least) way (U2F) accesses the key over some other method that doesn't have it act like a keyboard. There are other operation modes for Yubikeys, but personally I only use U2F and the CCID (aka act like a smartcard) modes.
One thing that I noticed in this article and charts was the unprecedented growth of auto loans. They too have skyrocketed. That seems like another "bubble" waiting to happen.
> I do agree, though, that touchscreens beyond phone interfaces should be used very sparingly. The Tesla's all-touchscreen situation in particular seems like a terrible idea. Most of us are used to being able to adjust the AC without looking, and that's only possible because there are physical controls we can feel.

This is a very common misconception. You CAN adjust the A/C via the steering wheel buttons, turn it off, control the fan speed etc. It's very intuitive.

In fact, you can this for most of the common controls. The settings on the touch screen are mostly for things that you only really bother with once like saving your seat-position and personal settings to your driver profile.

I thought about disabling ports, and on some machines I do, but for the most part there would be mutiny if people couldn't charge their phones or use USB sticks for legitimate purposes. I try instead to make sure everyone is skeptical and weary of everything technology related+the corporate network.

I'm in the process of creating a USB drop-test script for employee training purposes. Awareness and preparedness training has been one of my best investments of time and energy with a staggering ROI. My team recently passed my last phishing test 100%.

IMHO it’s kinda hard to generalise about the whole of Europe as if all European countries are alike. Where I live (Sweden) ADSL and fiber for home use are generally not capped, AFAIK. Obviously that is not true for all European countries.
Thanks, you're just making my point for me.

Thirty years ago, nothing was on the internet, somehow we managed to survive.

One hundred years ago, nobody took antibiotics, somehow we managed to survive.

Five hundred years ago, nobody read books, somehow we managed to survive.

Ten thousand years ago, nobody farmed grains, somehow we managed to survive.
Can you explain how this is the most logical way forward for Linux?

For me, it feels it could be the opposite with Windows potentially impacting how Linux moves forward by having more devs using WSL instead of actual Linux and not actually optimizing for native Linux support.

For an example, Valve's Proton vs. native linux games, if I was a game dev, I wouldn't bother porting any Windows games to Linux, just rely on Proton instead.
This is because Hyper-V is a level 1 hypervisor (similar to Xen) while VirtualBox is a level 2 (similar to QEMU). Hyper-V is always running because the Windows "host" OS is actually running under it's control as well.
Sulfur oxide broadly refers to any combination of Sulphur and Oxygen, of which Sulphur dioxide is a component. The article conveniently left out what exactly is being claimed to be emitted.

But, sulphur oxide is not the name of any chemical in particular, and obviously the gases have different properties. Sulfur monoxide, for example, is not stable and decomposes into various other gases

It's a big point in my car buying decision just for the navigation experience alone.
Besides the dangers of the service menu, newer Samsung Smart TVs have the newer "smart remotes" that don't have the buttons access those functions. I had to purchase an older BN59-01198Q[0] remote just to get at the service menu.

Risk vs. age: Which mammography screening method is better?
This is our big problem. Our development "workstations" are virtualized in VMWare. That's incompatible with Hyper-V, so MS is locking us out of this technology.
Your "no way to turn the car off but leave the radio or AC on" complaint doesn't make sense to me, as the AC compressor is powered by the engine's accessory drive belt, which won't turn if the engine's off.

Otherwise, those sound like fair complaints. I'd add that Honda tried to go to a touch-based volume control in 2015/2016 and it was universally panned for its poor responsiveness and requirement that users take their eyes off the road to adjust radio volume. Can't win'em all I guess.
Thanks for reminding me... again... about this. Why haven't I backed up my gmail data yet? It has been years since I realized I have to do it. Why haven't I done it?
It's been mentioned a few times but I believe haptic feedback is absolutely necessary to the future of the touch screen.

How many times have you handed your phone to someone to show them and in the process both you and the person receiving accidentally made a multitude of gestures, resulting in your phone freaking out and opening all kinds of random apps/windows..

I love how the new iPhones have the "press" ability on apps to open more options. Personally I wish all interactions required a little bit more force (besides, say, scrolling). When almost half the device is responsive, it makes it all too easy to accidentally perform actions.

Does anyone know where the technology is with this? I remember seeing articles a long time ago about potential for brail via haptics in screens
That is not "automotive level" night mode. The touchscreen is still brighting up the interior and shows too much useless information.

The Saab 9-3 had a "Night" button, which when pressed, turned off _every_ light-source except for speed-odometer. There should be no information visible, no glow on anything, other than speedometer, and even it lowers its brightness.

Why though? Try it, if you get the chance, the fatigue I feel after driving with night mode in a Saab vs shitty cars, is exceptionally low. Eye-strain, whats that?
I'm curious whether luxury/recreational users of bunker fuel like cruise ships will receive more scrutiny and legislation than cargo and tanker ships. It's easy to scoff at the cruise industry and at people who go on cruises as environmentally insensitive, harder to bring about an increase in shipping costs.

Also, it's 10x the SOx, not 10x the CO2. Here's the source publication, which also analyzes NOx and PM, with a bit of CO2 data mixed in:

Talking about underemployment as a problem for college graduates in general doesn’t seem very insightful to me. It seems obvious that not all degrees have problems with underemployment. So which ones do? Why are people doing those degrees? Are they under the mistaken impression that those degrees will lead to employment opportunities that don’t actually exist?
> This was the first widely-reported UFO abduction report in the United States.

That's the key bit. UFO abduction mythos was an important part of later 20th century US culture, linked to the space race, the US's standing post-war, the Cold War, and popular media. It is interesting that it started there, even if you don't believe it for a second.

Similar to how England commemorates King Arthur even though nobody's sure if he even existed.
Because FreeDOS is the easiest and lightest OS to put on, since it doesn't even have a graphical interface. It sounds like they literally put the most basic OS possible on so they can sell it and claim to Microsoft the person won't turn around and pirate Windows immediately.

If they actually wanted them to use an OS that's not Windows, they'd preinstall Linux on it. But that's not the point.

Cell towers do not "pump out" location. Your phone queries Google/Apple/Mozilla/OpenCellID/whatever with the IDs of the towers it sees, the service returns approximate location based on its database of towers' locations. Same is done with WiFi SSIDs.

I believe Google has some kind of service you can turn on where you will pair it with a U2F token like a Yubikey or their Titan key. At that point, all other forms of login and password recovery are turned off. In theory, that should stop the SIM-swap attack.

I imagine one of the many reasons is because CSS features can't be transpiled but many of JS can.
> Word

99% of uses can be trivially replaced by plain text, Markdown, or Org. For the others you probably want a real typesetting system anyway, so Word would still not be appropriate.

> Excel

If you're at a point where it feels appropriate to use vendor-specific spreadsheet features then you have already outgrown by far spreadsheets. It's probably both simpler and more maintainable to decouple your data from your code by using a database (even SQLite, if you still want to pass files around) and/or a scripting language instead.

All of those are level 2 hypervisors. Hyper V is a level 1 hypervisor.

My point is that it's fundamental to the way the tech works.
On the web, inches don't actually work based on physical inches, they're just another pixel measurement. But assuming they did work on physical inches, they still wouldn't capture how close the device was going to be to your face, what the pixel density/brightness was, anything like that.

For the most part, use percentage, `em`, or `rem`. This is based off the the font size, which is more accessible (your app will still look good if someone with poor eyesight changes the font size). It'll also mean your app works well with fractional scaling out of the box. I believe that most desktop-level graphics frameworks like GTK support `em` units. At the very least, on the web, avoid pixel measurement in most cases.

It turns out that device font-size is a good measurement to capture most of the variable parts of user experience -- a pixel dense device that's held close to your eyes will have a small font size, a high resolution monitor that's farther away will have a larger font size -- and `em` will work great in both cases.
Much of those problems with Taxis stemmed from the aforementioned previous disruption of the industry. You care a lot less about your car when you don't own it. You care a lot less about customer experience when you are not free to deal with customers directly. You don't care about response times when you are only ever dispatched from a central office, are forced to follow a GPS, and so have no home territory or local knowledge. Taxis are bad today, but they weren't always like that.
