I am currently in Alaska between 2 raging fires (Swan Lake Fire, and one near Fairbanks). Temperatures in Denali Park and Anchorage peaked at 86. I casually surveyed every AK resident I met about their views on climate change and I heard several responses (clearly not scientific). Universally no one denied climate change was occurring. They enumerated examples without qualification. (Less snow, fewer bears, more fires, severe summer heat). I have no data (didn’t ask) about political persuasions. Pretty random sample since we weren’t on touristy cruises...several low paid workers and several college grads:

* “climate has been changing since the last ice age, nothing we can do about it”

* “it’s been great, we have had so much fun enjoying the lake [water sports, swimming, etc]...it’s really not anything to worry about”

* “the lower 48 just likes to get into everybody’s business”

* “sure we might be causing it but what the hell, it’s ours to use it [the planet? Resources?] while we can”

* “it hasn’t been that bad for more than a couple years so I don’t see why it won’t change back to the way it was or even better”

* “yeah it’s been bad, I’m planning to leave”

* “too many people that’s what causes it”

* “we’ll adapt”

Overall having seen AK first hand in 1982, 1992 and now, it is striking how much has changed. Huge amount of development, wildlife much more scarce, pollution EVERYWHERE.

Really quite depressing.

That said, I have to take lumps for burning fossil fuels to come here, and while driving, so I cant throw stones.
There is a story that made the rounds on HN maybe 3 weeks ago about beriberi in the Japanese armed forces caused because soldiers didn't want to eat brown rice as white rice (which is less nutritious) was a sign of wealth.

This is just one of many reasons that it seems it will be difficult to get people in developing countries to forego the western lifestyle for the sake of the environment.

It's hard to get humans to save their immediate self, if it requires foregoing a class symbol, talk less of something as relatively esoteric as the weather.
The problem is where people set up the goal posts and have a double standard for human vs. ai driven cars. AI cars, for some reason, are expected to produce an error rate of 0 right off the bat and ever single incident gets used to feed an existing (and often legitimate) narrative about tech bro laziness and irresponsibility.

Meanwhile 1.25 million people die in human caused car accidents every year and somewhere around an additional 30 million are injured. But that’s “just the world we live in.” Or that’s “your choice to take a risk when you choose to drive a car.” Or whatever.

A lot of criticism of our industry is well-deserved if overly broadly applied. Most companies do not operate with the total lack of ethics that Uber and Facebook do. But they are so big and so well-known, they’ve come to symbolize a culture of amorality, deception, manipulation, and a willingness to do anything for growth and fresh injections of VC funding.

What would be really useful for everyone is to throw out that narrative for a while and focus on the task at hand. Self-driving cars will be regulated. There’s no getting around that. And tech companies could help themselves out a lot by accepting that and coming to the table with regulators with an actual plan instead of whining about having their innovation stifled.

There is a reasonable compromise. You can’t start by saying the error rate must be at zero. That will never get anywhere and people will keep dying a million a year. Where is the right number and what does it measure? I don’t know. It should probably be tiered by population density and average driving conditions and weighted by number of annual deaths in that city/region.

Highways are an easier problem to solve than, say, Manhattan. But highway deaths are more likely to be fatal. So the standards ought to apply differently.

The challenge here is really to get regulators to think a little bit like problem solvers rather than enforcers for a change. To get them to realize that “regulate self driving cars” is a problem so big and mushy that it’s pretty much meaningless. But “establish safety standard for interstate travel for autonomous trucks” is something you can work with. Maybe it’s 100x as a safe as a human driver in that scenario. I don’t really know.

Tech companies could probably turn on a lot of positive PR if they promoted milestones for certain communities. Maybe even offered incentives for cities to improve road markings. Like if Waymo said, “We want to target Brooklyn, and our goal is 10x as safe as human drivers in Brooklyn with an additional target of 1000x fewer cycling accidents. But we need you to mark the bike lanes better and put them between the parked cars and the curbs where it’s feasible, and here’s a pile of money you can use to do it.” That would generate a lot of good will, positive pr, and maybe even genuine enthusiasm that they can use to open up that market for their taxis ahead of schedule.

The car companies will get a lot better treatment from regulators if they chunk the problem into small pieces and go to the negotiating table without a victim chip on their shoulder.
It’s not only about spirituality but about health. Sure, a hot core power class gives you flexibility for that time because breathing more makes your body alkaline. But afterwards you crave acidic food to balance the body. The food you crave is high in protein, table salt, processed, leaches calcium from your bones and makes you stiff in the long run and for the rest of your day.
Ok, I understand. For me it's different - if I have to get the CD (for example if it's a rare, old release - Japan has lots of rare stuff from the 80s on CDs) I only rip it and put it back on the shelf forever. I have no interest in the physical medium.

Admittedly, and somewhat ironically, it's only the most popular mainstream music that seems to be lacking digital lossless purchasing options. Even mainstream music like the stuff that gets featured on Pitchfork seems to be widely available these days.

However when you mention CD prices, you're talking about new/mint offers from Amazon, right? Comparing second-hand prices wouldn't be fair. Since I was surprised about your discovery I just took a recent rather popular, mainstream and widely available album like Cate Le Bon's "Reward" to compare prices. CD was the worst offer at € 16,40:

- Amazon (CD): EUR 16,40

- Qobuz: EUR 15,99

- Boomkat: GBP 7,99

- Bandcamp: USD 9,99

Also, never buy the premium quality at Qobuz. Their standard quality already is lossless 16 Bit / 44,1 KHz (CD quality).

Which email tool was doing this? If I install cloudHQ email tracker, mixmax, streak, Gmelius tracking, Cloud hq autobcc to Salesforce, then I do this for marketing or sales. So these are CRM utilities...

But I do not expect that my email client which is promoted as "THE FASTEST EMAIL EXPERIENCE EVER MADE" has this creepy feature enabled by default.

Anyway, Superhuman seems to a CRM (maybe a good one - I'm not sure) and it is not an email client. That is the difference.

You need an intermediate representation (like a tree) rather than attempt to brute force every possible permutation up until some arbitrary point. Even if that weren't the case, it'd be better to give it a more obscure name or create some kind of naming system and then document it rather than demonstrate why self-documenting code can become self-defeating if taken to an extreme.
That was killed by software. HN has many software filters, most of which are based on past activities by spammers or trolls. Moderators review most such posts and unkill the legit comments, but users can also unkill them by vouching for them. To do that, click on the comment's timestamp to go to its page, then click 'vouch' at the top. (There's a small karma threshold, currently 30, before an account can do that.)

For some reason rental companies always seem to try to give you underpowered cars no matter where, I'm not sure why since they do have better ones which are also more expensive so they're not losing money renting them.

That reinforces the article's point. Having a car as a rental allows you to see its UI foibles without the blinders that inevitably come down when people are forced to adapt to some problem over a long period of time. And like the OP says, the UI of most modern cars is horrendously bad. For example, my personal car is a 2019 Subaru Legacy. I rather like it. But there's no way to make it start with the stereo off. If the car is on, the stereo is on. The only way to turn the audio off is to twist the volume knob all the way down to zero before you turn off the car.

When I first had the car, I found this to be totally ridiculous. Whoever heard of a car that automatically turns on the radio when it starts? But, after having had the car for a month, the problem is already fading, as I've developed a habit of turning the volume down before I turn off the car. At this rate, six months from now, like you, I'll be defending this anti-feature. (Hey, you're going to turn the radio on anyway when you drive, so why not have the car do it for you on startup?)

I agree that the key word is rental, but my conclusion is exactly the opposite of yours. The fact that this is an unfamiliar rental is what is allowing the OP to see the issues with the car's UX clearly. If the car were his daily driver, he'd have adapted to it, and he wouldn't notice himself getting distracted.

In the US, in most if not all states, a stalking victim must present either court papers or a police report showing actual bodily harm before the victim may participate in the state's anonymity program. These programs also only cover the state's information systems, not commercial systems.

On the commercial side, if you finance anything at all, it will show up in your credit report, and your street address will as well. It is a quick Net search from there to find you through the aggregators.

To stay off the aggregators' radar, you need a willing volunteer who will let you use their residence address, own your home outright through a trust, put your utility bills in their name, and a few other tactics. Note that private mailbox addresses are now identifiable, and many financial institutions under KYC regulations tap those databases and will recognize and refuse to let you use such an address to sign up for services, demanding a real street address.

> ...the parties flipped positions on race...

A convenient myth. The reality is that once the Southern vote became contestable as the result of Democrat party dominance breaking down, the Republican party managed to mostly grab it without appealing to racism. It's of course fair to criticize Richard "I'm not a crook!" Nixon for his Southern Strategy, but it's not something that describes the Republican party as a whole.

Of course the post-Trump Republican party is indeed very different, so perhaps the parties will have ended up switching after all; and on their overall, broad attitude to 'modernity' in a social sense, encompassing far more than just "race"! Who knows, it all depends on how much sticking power these things have.

Some Hacker communities already have their own video platforms - I only know of CCC so far but I bet there are others: https://media.ccc.de/

This knowledge will become even more isolated and harder to find for beginners.

But these communities have so much content already, together with banned 'security bypass'-videos it could be combined (or cross-referenced somehow) to an impressive collection.

Aggregators and links to similar platforms play an important role whith 'illicit' content. Porn is not allowed on YouTube as well, it is hosted on different platforms and yet people still manage to find it somehow.

Hate to break it to you, but there is this thing called Windows Server. It's quite prolific. Estimated around 20% or more.
very good point. there is certainly room for improvement. a lot of room actually.

im fact it irks me every time if i have to change the indentation of code already written just because i changed the nesting depth. it causes changes in lines of code that haven't actually changed, and messes up the diff as well as things like git blame...

we can imagine a solution by looking at lisp for example. its syntax makes it possible to store the code without any indentation at all. in fact even without any linebreaks (let's ignore comments for now) and rely entirely on an editor to present the code in a readable format.

this should be possible with other languages too. especially if we design them with that goal in mind.

I'll miss Mad, it's what I read as a kid waiting to get my hair cut. If you knew how the magazine was produced you could sense this day was coming. They are legendary for having staff members with 30-50 year careers. For example the guy who does the fold-ins, (every one of them has been made by one guy - Al Jaffee) is 98 and has been with the magazine for 64 years. The young guys in the office are likely in their 60's. Combine that with the decline in print media in general and I don't see a reasonable way to continue production.

3 is the big one. I once heard Neil DeGrasse Tyson talk about how every time he said he'd want to become an astrophysicist, people would ask him if he shouldn't become an athlete. He was a good wrestler, wasn't he? Athlete is a socially acceptable career for black men. I can't help but wonder how many potential astrophysicists became athletes instead due to such social pressure.

Social expectations can be a real hurdle.
Adding to what others have pointed out about it being an enthusiast thing, technologies often have a political and identity dimension.

Some people love repairing old cars of a particular type and build a community around that interest. Likewise with OSes.

There are similar movements around energy tech, camera tech, cooking tech, and more.

For such a mindset, the joy of understanding the mechanism itself is the reward, not the practical end result.

The story I recall hearing from the park ranger in Philly is 1) it was sent to the printers on the 2nd, to be available on the 4th, and 2) it gave certain signers two days head start out of town on a fast horse.

They were meeting in a room across the hall from the British court where they would have been tried for treason. It was sobering to me to think that ten steps away from their writing desks where they signed their names to a treasonous document, was the court that could convict them and sentence them to death. Likely by being drawn and quartered. There is a reason our constitution has a prohibition against "cruel and unusual" punishment. There are times when creativity is not to be celebrated.
I'm not a lawyer but this reminds me of how game mods are shared for old games. They are shared at patch files to avoid sharing the copyrighted original binary/rom file.

A patch file does not necessarily have any of the original code, just the location info and the new value.
