I very seriously doubt Waymo is going to let random riders sit in the driver’s seat. They’ve been paying maps drivers for ever. This endeavour is far to high-value to let some random whip a vehicle into a crowded sidewalk.
And the Niro has a pretty responsive touchscreen interface, but also has hard buttons and knobs for all the essential features (volume control, climate control, etc). Very well designed car at a very reasonable price, just wish they offered AWD.

Yeah, like when that German youtuber called out the total mishandling of several important issues by a major political party, and was slandered by some newspapers and stalked by journalists hanging out on his street. Said video is a fully sourced, well researched thing that calls out the insanity around the environment and other things. For example, the fussing about with coal, to save the measly 20k jobs that are in that sector, while just recently 80k jobs were lost due to cuts for spending on renewables. Or Ramstein airbase being used for US drones, and how that just gets shrugged off. Not even a shred of "tinfoil" (the slur that made blind obedience hip), all just very, very appalling facts.

He also got a lot of support, it's not like all media and all politicians attacked him. But those attacks also happened, including a person who dreamed herself future chancellor (at least as far as young people are concerned, she can completely forget that now) musing about whether it should even be "allowed", to just point out the list of hardcore failings before an election: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wX3Mz8pdFCs

Yes, we are better for Neonazis not being allowed to run around with swastikas, and I agree that many Americans don't quite get that, but there's plenty of dystopian-in-spe bullshit to be found, and that's not even getting started on the UK. At any rate, the laws that forbid displaying swastikas to glorify Nazism etc. weren't just decided nilly-willy, because "obviously" that had to be done. They took that decision seriously and discussed it in-depth, so exactly the opposite for these rationalizations for censorship by self-styled SV shepherds.

Most music player developers assume our music collections are small I guess, and they're trying to encourage cloud storage rather than local saved files as well possibly, because it generates money by encouraging music sales, storage upgrades, and monthly subscriptions.

> I don't think that the degree to which an individual has a right to reek redress of grievances is determined by the amount of money they can spend.

I mean, I agree, but money is going to buy influence whether you believe in some sense of noble politics or not. Without severely and arbitrary restricting even more rights it's impossible to get around this. Those with more money can make friends with influencers, buy advertising space, produce media, etc, at far greater rates. Even without direct lobbying, they're going to be more influential

> There is a restriction on how much an individual can give to any given non-profit. Or perhaps there would be restrictions on what percent of the PACs spending comes from any one person. It is illegal for non-profits to collaborate to bypass these rules (in the similar way to how it is illegal for corporations to collaborate to fix prices).

No there isn't. There's just taxes on contributions if you give more.

> - A non-profit can spend as much as they want on politics as long as the money comes from individuals.

I already gave a few ways around this legislation above.
Importantly: understanding how to bypass security systems is an implicit dependency of understanding how to defend oneself against your own security systems being bypassed by others. Instead of allowing ordinary people to educate themselves on how they might go about defending themselves against cybercrime, YouTube has effectively decided that "nah, it'd be better for the common folk to be entirely helpless to cybercriminals".

Excellent point.
I think the most important thing is to not think that one recipe will work for everybody. There are a lot of different types of shoulder problems that are all getting lumped into "rotator cuff". Try a few different things and see what helps. Also keep watching your shoulders. It's really easy to mess them up again.

Like most odious behavior, there is a scale. It doesn't have to be super odious for it to be banned anyway, just look at your local HOA board and how petty they can be.
Just stick cotton in your ears...

Only something like 7 dB of sound attenuation so if someone comes over to talk to you you can still hear them. That 7 dB (about a quarter) really takes the edge off the noise and makes for a less stressful day. Comfortable and breathable. You can jamb it in so it is hard to see, if for some reason that bothers you.

Works outside the office as well to take the edge off traffic noise and even airplane noise in a pinch.

I forgot and left the cotton in for a trip to the supermarket and even that was improved. The annoying muzak seemed far away.

In her linked Slate article (that she authored) she said (about Peterson)

"[Peterson] became hugely popular following his swift rise to notoriety in the fall of 2016, when he refused to comply with university policy on addressing students with preferred gender pronouns." He publicly stated be had no issue using preferred pronouns, but his non-compliance was with Canadian federal Bill C-16 which forced their use and he felt was 'compelled speech' therefore unconstitutional. He framed it as a free-speech issue, but his opponents tend to frame him as a bigot who doesn't respect trans rights.
That's OK, I was posting about my experience without intentions to change hearts and minds of others.

I Like this but I notice that even they examples in the paper are buggy.

Companies obtain money and power. Companies use money and power to secure their position, because "make the best product" is usually not the best investment whenever "prevent competitors from reaching the market" is on the table, and regulation is one of the popular ways to achieve the latter.

That isn’t really how the React team operates. They are more about providing a small well-functioning core and letting things like react-native-web and redux be independent libraries. The things that go into React itself and are supported by the core team are generally the things that wouldn’t work anywhere else.
"Reactionary" doesn't mean literally "reacting to a problem", it's a political term that comes from the French revolution, referring to monarchists who became organized and motivated as a reaction against the French revolution.

It's more or less synonymous with "conservative" and "right wing" which have similar origins, although today it has more of a pejorative connotation in English, or sometimes specifically refers to people on the colloquial "far-right" who advocate for ethno-nationalism, authoritarianism, military adventurism, nativism, etc.
I pretty much agree with you.

I know my post was a little long for HN, but I think you need to follow the through line. Let me re-iterate:

Policy decisions and how people respond to them unfold in chronological order, and so the chronology is important. I was responding to a metaphor that imagined Google as an Emperor of YouTube, subjecting its subjects to a series of terrible decisions. It was framed as a "first they came for..." style argument for why we should believe today's decision tells us something about previous decisions. In the original metaphor, no hacking videos is like the emperor taking away another colour, after having previously taken away other colours.

I rewrote the metaphor as a chronology of what I think were some of the major inflection points for YouTube, and why a) this is different than previous cases; b) but the previous cases do lead us to this; c) I can support the goal of restricting some content on YouTube and not support this; d) I disagree with it and believe it to be stupid and arbitrary, but also I don't think the end point here is "Abandon YouTube and reclaim the free web!" for a few reasons.
What was the vector by which they gained access? I have fail2ban, password login turned off, key access, airtight firewall, etc. and now am worried.
Absolutely worth it, if your selling point is privacy, and your vendor the best and most pervasive tracker in the world.
I always thought that "shipped and sold by Amazon" means actual Amazon (except for the group binning issue). And "fulfilled by Amazon" means they're holding and selling some other company's stock.

Is this not accurate?
Sadly they followed the path of nearly every surveillance capitalism startup out there.

1. Breach user trust by acting without user consent.
2. Market it as a service.
3. Eventually get caught.
4. Offer an apology.

Rinse, Repeat.

I don't have any real complaints about the steps they took to correct this. I have complaints about the fact that they did it in the first place and didn't consider the users. I also take offense at their investors who continued to invest while knowing this was going on.
how viable do you think that solution is, politically and economically?

You're correct. My complaint was about installation time.

I thought there was an instance where I saw all the access points somehow during the installer, but unsure how I did that... and I couldn't replicate it.

I suspected that I had wired ethernet configured, and then the installer downloaded firmware to configure wireless? It was just a guess, I didn't look more into it.
> Realtime transcoding

I'm curious: Do services like Twitch specify a specific desired codec/bitrate that doesn't get transcoded? Transcoding seems like a lot of effort for lower quality end result.

If I were streaming, I would want to avoid transcoding as much as possible. Since we're talking about live broadcasting, there is a unique ability for the streamer to choose the format they upload.
You're basically saying we should impose a massive global economic punch in the face, which is just never going to happen. That's the issue with climate change - making any kind of real impact requires a large, sustained, and global effort from governments on a scale that I don't think has ever happened in human history. In my opinion, it's far too late for prevention and the real tragedy is that we aren't spending more time and resources on looking at ways to counteract climate change. By the time things get really bad and people are starving from mass crop failures, we won't have the technology and/or knowledge of downstream impacts to be able to possibly fix things.
It's not a law, it's a request. You just acquiesce without making any concrete commitments and carry on as if the request was never made.
I tend to worry a lot and it's fine during the day, but it really amps up at bedtime and I lie awake with racing thoughts. It sounds worth trying the magnesium glycinate (at least for a week) - from what you say taking it around half an hour before bed will let me know if it helps or not?

For the record I've tried melatonin etc - the issue is NOT being tired or even sleepy. My brain just refuses to shut off, to the point where I've started seeing things while awake, when one part starts dreaming and the other refuses to. This usually results in me jumping awake with an extra load of adrenaline to delay my sleep.
My wife runs a small side-business and has a Seller account on Amazon. I'm a little nervous for what this might mean (assuming they don't appeal and actually do something about it) in the short term in terms of compliance costs, etc., but in the long run I think it's for the best. There is a real problem with inferior quality products and intellectual property/copyright theft from non-American sellers and aside from that the points you note are valid too: people who buy from sellers using Amazon's platform ought to have recourse--and either Amazon or the seller has to provide it when required.
Different people might have different views about whether "racism is worse than hacking," but that doesn't mean we just throw our hands up and concede that everyone is entitled to their own views. Explicitly racist policy still exists, and racism became socially unacceptable in the first world only very recently (in historical terms). But the fight against racist policy has partially succeeded in changing the world, and racism no longer falls within the Overton window.

Almost everyone agrees that there should be some room for objectionable and offensive content, but 'the worst' content must be censored and criminalised. There is very little consensus on where to draw the line. Banning hacking videos (if that's an accurate description of what occurs in practice) crosses the line for me, but at the same time, hackers don't need YouTube to share videos.
I’m as happy as anyone to grant that economics is not a hard science.

But saying our only explanation for this predictor is “the market thinks” seems pretty off base.

- Yields are based on demand

- Yield inversion indicates heightened demand for long term safe stores of value, reduced demand for short term stores of value

- This pattern maps well to our understanding of investor psychology

- Recessions generally happen when investors are gloomy about short to medium term prospects, leading to a reduction in investment, leading to a reduction in aggregate demand

The amount of counterfeits on Amazon these days is astounding.

I was a legitimate seller about 10 years ago and I had a competitor buy one of my products and complained to Amazon that it was a counterfeit. My account was suspended and I had no recourse. To this day, I can't be attached to any seller account without it being put under review and eventually banned.

At this point I had 100% positive feedback and I spent lots of time to please all of my customers. My money was held for 90 days and it nearly bankrupted me.

I learned two things from this:

1) Don't base your entire business on a third-party platform. They become your boss and a single point of failure.

2) Fuck Amazon. I hope they get broken up and destroyed by the US government. They abused their third-party sellers for years and then when they couldn't extract enough profit anymore, they were systematically put out of business and pushed out.

If that was true, companies wouldn’t spend so much on R&D and so little on lobbying. Boeing is one of the top lobbying companies. Last year it spent $15 million on lobbying. It spent $5 billion on R&D. (It probably spent more on office entertainment, Christmas parties, retirement parties, etc., than lobbying.)
the real story is, if these were sensitive why wasn’t the data encrypted?
And so we come full circle, as the cubicle was invented as a way to give the workers some rights and privacy and sense of "own space" at a time when open offices were the norm (just look at a movie from the 50s or 60s and you'll see the white collar non-execs all worked in open plan offices).

Just to follow up on this, I currently use Fastmail for email. I like Fastmail, a lot.

But why doesn't Fastmail block remote images by default? Yes, they have a setting, but why isn't it turned on for new accounts? If I tell my parents to sign up for Fastmail, I don't want to have to worry about whether or not their default settings are safe.
> In your mind, you can’t comment on something unless you’re personally involved in it?

Well, as a German, it's just another instance of Americans who don't know 5% of what is going on here, using simplifications so gross they might as well be completely fabricated memes, to sidestep actually making a solid argument. I'm fine with it, I'm not going to fight that particular windmill. But it's really astonishing how a few scraps here and there tend to make Americans experts on Germany in their mind, as a general observation. It's flattering, like being pestered by someone you aren't interested in is still flattering.

> one that we as a society have decided to value

Individuals decide things, "we as a society" is BS, it doesn't exist, though it rings familiar. Nazis "as a society" decided Jews and others don't "have value". You need to be more precise than that.
The first example is handled by constinit (or whatever we end up calling it) and the second is handled by consteval, although it has to be put in a function.

There's more to it. It isn't a "Use OpenBSD, everything else sucks", it was simply "I used OpenBSD on a Thinkpad T420 and let me tell you about it".

I also posted about that I tried Linux (Ubuntu), FreeBSD, and OpenBSD on the laptop before deciding on OpenBSD. It wasn't made out of stubbornness.

It was simply the right choice for me for that laptop. And I shared my experience getting it up to a state I was used to with my previous Linux workstation (that this laptop replaced).

That would require Amazon to stop co-mingling real and counterfeit products which would in turn dramatically help the problem. It probably wouldn't fix everything but being able to make an informed decision would help.
