That makes no sense. Morality applies to the goal (or the result, including side-effects, which may or may not have been the goal).

If I scratch you to relieve an itch you can't reach, or I scratch you to violently gouge out your eyes, it's a meaningless comment to say "There's a moral equivalence to the method."

The only "equivalence" between the two original scenarios is that they both involve the verb "limiting," but there is no "moral equivalence" that automatically applies to any action using that verb. Or is there a "moral equivalence" between the laws to limit abortion and my attempts to limit my kid's screentime?

Are you just arguing for the sake of arguing?

The link does not contain rankings, but I did some searching, on the European system in fact Tesla is one of the safes ts car. the "safest car" thing appears if you Google related with the american system in a lot of EV related articles around 2911, I can't find anything more recent and more impartial on the first google page.
Are you talking about the drop down right under the "directions" button? I believe that's for navigation only. ie. if you choose "google", and click the directions button, it opens google maps in a new tab, and if you change it to bing, it opens bing maps in a new tab.
That's it? This is the level of debate here?

Dude, Apple Maps jokes are so 2012.

Apple Maps has improved significantly in recent years. With iOS 13, it's going to annihilate Google Maps.
I exercise mostly indoors these days at home and most of my workouts are more endurance than cardio (long story) like walking at an incline on the treadmill and using the elliptical at high tension or lifting weights. In all three cases, the machines help me/force me to keep a cadence.

When I did run outside, I had a Garmin GPS Watch (before the Apple Watch was a thing) to force me to stay at my desired pace.

That being said. I can’t cycle without music. That is basically my only real cardio.
I choose to use Apple maps for navigating most places within a city. On iPhone, I think it has far superior ux design. In between cities I use google maps because I feel it is more up to date.

I have at times worried about the trapped methane that could be released with the permafrost...on some accounts I've heard the amount that could be released is massive. I know that this methane can increase global warming, but I have another fear. Although perhaps farfetched, is it possible that climate change could release a dense, rolling methane cloud that can asphyxiate whole populations?
What is with this latent assumption in this thread that DIY activity is a priori illegal? Of course it's legal to mod your car under the guise of hacking. Just like it's legal to mod your car under the guise of throwing a birthday party. The "guise" is irrelevant!

There's obviously legal nuance involving speed, safety, etc. But propagating a cultural assumption of "doing something weird must be illegal" is frightening.

It seems fine to me, what's your issue with it?

It performs well enough on my connection, because it's pretty good about playing "load as you go." But it's loading a lot of stuff. By the time I scrolled to the end and read through the entire timeline, this "web page" had loaded over 52M of data.

Speaking of scrolling, I had to scroll both down and to the side at various points to accomodate that "clever" timeline thing. I don't think this sort of approach is particularly user-friendly. It's even worse on mobile.

Mobile! As noted, this site doesn't do well on mobile, and it's not doing badly on mobile in a "Well, all sites are bad on mobile, [shrug emoji]" fashion. It's very clear that the site is trying to demonstrate responsive design: it's not "broken because tiny screen," it's "unpleasant experience because poor design choices." Former Congressman Henry A. Waxman is a lovely fellow, but I don't actually need his image in a partially-transparent overlay taking up nearly half the screen of my iPhone XR when I'm reading his forward. The timeline display is even more annoying on the phone, as it starts with a non-modal "swipe to navigate, OK?" demand. If you get past that, scrolling gets janky, until you move past and get another fixed image which only takes up a third of your screen this time. So yay.

Actually, I'd argue scrolling is kind of janky even on the desktop, in no small part because it's doing all this fancy "here's a picture scrolling up with the text! now it's fixed! now it's scrolling!" Is it pretty? I guess. Would it be less pretty if the images were just, you know, images on the side of the text? Not really, and if you just let a web browser scroll a page without this kind of fluffery, it scrolls really well! Scrolling turns out to be a solved problem! Also, does the picture of Former Congressman Henry A. Waxman need to be that big on the desktop? No. No, Mr. Waxman, it does not.

Last but not least: you know how I mentioned the web page was over 52M of data? The PDF with the same data is only a hair over 36M. It doesn't have a cute scrolling timeline in it, but it does have footnotes. Which the Shorthand web version doesn't. The web version has footnote numbers, but they don't go anywhere -- no links, no popovers.. For a report that has 61 footnotes, this is actually a pretty big fail.

So that's my issue with Shorthand. Thanks for asking!
Part of my commute is on a ~70mph road that has a bunch of side roads dumping into it. The people who have to merge into 70mph rush hour traffic with no ramp to get up to speed would greatly benefit from the kind of acceleration a Tesla offers. The other day some guy in an exotic car (didn't see what, probably a Maserati of some sort since those are the most common exotic around here) pulled out in front of me from one of those turns and proceeded to let it sing. Had it been almost any other vehicle I would have had to tap the brakes and been quite annoyed.

The point that I was making, and that I have just introduced an example to support, is that there are practical applications for the kind of acceleration that make certain types of people clutch their pearls.

Also, a 200hp hot hatch is going to have a hell of a time putting that power to the ground. There's a reason I'm talking in terms of acceleration and not power.
This is not correct. Her day to day work is/was in the AI bias and ethics space, even within google.
When the materials and manufacturing options (MMO) are dodgy and limited, you have to come up with almost a perfect design to take advantage of what's available. There's less room for error.

When MMO got better, you could get a lot "wrong" and still have a useful device.

In other words, early on you have two obstacles: MMO and finding a good enough design. As time goes on and MMO improves you only have one obstacle: design, meaning progress is faster or at least shows enough promise to motivate further experiments.
And like PHP an extraordinary amount of good engineering has poured in after bad, resulting in a quite workable even good products with technical debt. I might also make the comparison to MS-DOS / Windows.

In Alberta, the fine is for owning a speeding car, kind of like a parking ticket. The rationale is that you are responsible for who you lend the car to. It is a civil rather than criminal penalty, so no license points, but no getting out of it either. Rental car companies challenged it and lost (though you can be sure they will pass the cost on to you).

CORS won't do it, because it protects the response target, not the response source.

It would be obvious if you felt like your job at google was bullshit.
Our litigious society has driven us in two directions: limiting liability and secrecy. Limiting liability by outsourcing important functions to contractors, who can absorb a lawsuit and simply go under. A government has effectively unlimited liability since it can raise taxes, and can't easily go under, which leaves it broadly exposed. And secrecy like this article.

Something will have to give or we'll see more and more of these trends.
Please become less scrupulous! If that bug isn't fixed, that's just another in a long line of disposable bay area startups run by rich careless people—certainly none of which lurk on HN—who treat sensitive customer information like used tissue.

No. That is not a concern on any kind of level.

Quick look indicates asphyxiation at 16-21%. At 5-15% concentration it is explosive. Current levels are about 2000 parts per billion.

It will not release that quickly on anything more than a localized level, and it would probably kill you via explosion, first. Since it would be gradually released we would all be long dead from the greenhouse effect.

Actually the bloom filter was just an approachable example. There are much more clever and space efficient solutions to this problem, such as HyperLogLog [1] (speculating purely based on the numbers in that article, it looks like a few megabytes of space would be far more than sufficient).

I am a farmer, was a net admin earlier in life but from what I have seen and heard myself and talking to my tribe from up north climate change is a natural event and there is nothing we can do to stop things like Earth's axis slightly changing making the sun way hotter. People that want to fight climate change should start in the cites with smog it is man made, it changes the climate in a localized area, it kills, and you can do something about it. Yet I never see these Climate change fighters completely giving up smog making devices.
Well, this is where we get into shades of meanings of words like “eclipse”, and what connotations those words carry to you. If you think of an eclipse as purely a visual phenomenon in the sky as seen from earth—if that's all the connotation that the word carries to you—then of course solar eclipses are every bit as real as lunar ones; as anyone can plainly see. It is similar if you think of the astronomical phenomena as simply “some body casts its shadow on some body”, and the terms “solar” and “lunar” are merely conventional labels attached to distinguish the different kinds.

But it's possibly cultural what you think of as an “eclipse”. In Indian languages, the word from Sanskrit used is grahaṇa, which is from the verb for seizing, holding, catching, capturing, etc. So “solar eclipse” and “lunar eclipse” are literally “sun-capture” and “moon-capture”. Now from a very literal reading, neither of those is real: neither the sun nor the moon is really seized or captured anyway.

But based on the connotation that I think most people have, we can say:

* During a solar eclipse, you may think something's happening to the sun, but that's not real; that's only virtual.

* During a lunar eclipse, you may think something's happening to the moon, and that's real.

So I hope we can agree that there is something that's “real” during a lunar eclipse and not during a solar eclipse (namely, the corresponding named body being physically affected in some way); whether the word “eclipse” carries that connotation to you is of course something for only you to say.

I personally have no opinion about CNBC and their relationship with Tesla. I'm only pointing out that it isn't fallacious to account for possible biases if they do exist. It's not just subjective assessments either; take a look at the short interest on TSLA, and the pricing of the put options around their reporting periods; they have people putting down a lot of money on their anti-TSLA bias, and have from what I've seen, quite frequently taken a bath as a result. (Now, there are reasons to believe that they are overvalued, but that's true of a lot of stocks. TSLA in particular seems to pick up a lot of this sort of behavior way beyond what the performance to date has justified. I can't speak to the future with total confidence, of course, or I'd be getting rich.)

I wouldn't be surprised if they have an anti-Tesla bias, though; while I don't know if CNBC has it, I have observed such a thing definitely exists, at a level above the baseline that any company would be expected to attract. But it seems decently balanced by the above-the-baseline pro-Tesla bias that also exists, so, shrug I guess.
Not to mention the increase in accidents, which it'd be ironic were there a class action lawsuit holding ATS, Redflex and the other companies responsible.
I think a lot of people have a mental model of MySQL that's stuck in the 4.x days. You can get most of these proposed benefits by "just" upgrading to the latest MySQL and making sure that you're running it in strict mode.

Regarding safety, what I meant is that a helicopter coming down in a crowd is going to be absolute carnage - a drone could do serious damage, but the death and injury toll would surely be a rounding error by comparison.
Text column type is not where I'd advertise pg differences. Rather a much richer SQL query feature set and a smarter (though sometimes smartass) query optimizer.

MySQL is dumb (though predictably dumb) and queries are single threaded, and the feature set is limited. Some queries have no efficient representation, and you need to trade off cost of materialising derived table vs repeated correlated queries.

I wish I had more concrete information, but I remember hearing about one police department treating bodycam recordings in public and in private places differently for this reason. I imagine the officer would tag it when they left their shift or offloaded the footage.

In general, I've heard reviewing the footage is a huge undertaking and an unexpected burden. I wouldn't be surprised if, like many backup systems, they're not often tested and found to be insufficient when they go to pull a video...but, then again, they also deal with evidence which has similar requirements.
Can someone comment about this recent study: "Effect of human activity on climate change insignificant"[1]?

It hasn't been this hot since 1880, per that article.
It’s time to get serious about recycling lithium-ion batteries
This is a great example of why it's terrible to have a car that can be remote controlled including the ability to push arbitrary updates. It should not be possible to use XSS to compromise a vehicle.
A lot of other vehicle manufacturers couldn't anyway, they don't build the infotainment systems in-house, they simply just re-theme/re-badge the units from companies like Panasonic, Pioneer, Fujitsu-Ten, etc.

So if they got a bug report it would have to travel through ten layers of indirection before an engineer got to read it (let alone understand/respond). Particularly when there might be two or three different written word languages used between consumer and engineer (e.g. English -> Japanese -> Mandarin (Taiwan)).

Tesla (and Ford previously) were actually oddballs in that they didn't use "off the shelf" infotainment units.
The people who voted for the current administration would be perfectly happy to get rid of upper-level CS. They complain all the time about California anyway, and wish it would fall into the ocean.
No. Like everywhere else, minute is abbreviated to 'min' second to 'sec'.
An even better title would have been "Aerogel could be the material to make Mars habitable". And to be clear, I'm referring to the title on the article itself, not how it has been submitted here on HN :)
That would be a good first step, but more importantly making sure any content is rendered in a safe way. In this instance safe means making sure HTML entities are properly encoded and escaped.
I don't know about other countries, but it's probably an extension of the overall American feeling of government in general:

"Okay, I put you in office and will allow you to run certain parts of my life. But remember that I pay your salary, and that everything you have in that fancy office belongs to me."

Recordings held on hard drives fall under that "everything in that fancy office belongs to me" line of reasoning.
Nice take on the issue. But why rely on the browser stack and javascript hell, though? I think the approach you describe looks a lot like the Secure Scuttlebutt (SSB) protocol : local "gossiping" with centralized hubs to relay authentication and/or encrypted information.

> using DNS is straightforward to do verified claims

That could be simpler in some regards, but not others. Consider most shared hosting name servers don't provide a simple API to update your zone, so you may have to do manual edits for key rolling, vcard changes, etc..

Also, not all implementations of domain names are alike. The traditional DNS is a tree-like datastore and many things (such as routing and security) are outside of its scope.

But take for instance tor's onion services: they don't allow you to store/retrieve arbitrary records, but ensure the routing/authentication/encryption to the service and back. On tor, owning a name on the network is the actual mathematical proof of identity (the onion is a fingerprint of the actual encryption key) so you somehow don't need to let the DNS hold your keys for you.

I think the issues you mentioned have mostly been tackled by modern P2P projects. The actual pain points are in my opinion:
- the state of client applications (usually either ugly/broken or dependent on gigabytes of Electron shit that only runs fine on your dev hardware)
- backup: democratizing encrypted friend-to-friend backups, but also building server-side stacks for hosting coops, individuals and companies alike to easily setup "seeding"/"backing up" of your data using standard protocols
- identity recovery: people often complain loosing their data/identity on P2P networks (think Bitcoin, etc.), or regret lending it to the wrong entity (cryptoscams and hacks and whatnot). Proper identity recovery can be done either by dividing a secret among friends or with passphrase-generated private keys (or both)
- key distribution: centralized key distribution is a security nightmare and web-of-trust exposes the whole social graph... i guess that's another area where we have to innovate?
How would google's practices stop me from creating a search engine?

Keep in mind when Google started, Yahoooooo! Was the big player and Google overtook them by simply being better
Tangentially, I noticed that when I start typing a word in my Chrome URL input field, it started to privilege Google searches instead of websites I normally visit.

It is very annoying to type "n <enter>" and it goes on to search any query starting with "n" that I happened to have searched in the past instead of going to HN as it was the case for the last several years.

It is happening now with all my usual "shortcuts".

Chrome now is less a browser and more a Google widget.

I wonder if I change the default search engine to DuckDuckGo it would still be the case.
The DataOps Manifesto
“Garbage and possibly dead bodies blocking sidewalk”
I agree, for a greenfield project PostgreSQL is quite a nice option - if you're already using MySQL then probably stick with that until performance forces a change.

All that said I actually did lead a DB switch at my current gig - though it was quite a few years back when PostgreSQL had a really clear feature lead, one of the biggest quick wins was moving a terrible string field like... `1-2-3-4` over to a slightly less terrible int[] field.

These things don't make sense as a whole.

Why put a fast charger in (to get your day's worth of charging) if your use case is "charge it to full, get 2 months", so you "likely charge this thing less than 20 times in its life"?

Most likely, you'll go to one extreme or the other, and I think the "less than 20 in its life" is entirely optimistic, and based on a use case that the design doesn't represent.
