They have incomplete tests, since crash testing is really expensive.

But they are upfront in their guidelines about what exactly their tests do and do not say. Their tests are good for comparing cars in the same weight class. They are not good for saying what is the world's safest car.
> It would be easy enough for a regulator to simply fine any company whose products are advertised or sold through telemarketing

Small fines, for the issuer of the number used to make calls reported by more than N consumers, should do the trick. Small to accommodate false positives. Fine to create an incentive to vet before issuing numbers. Number issuers because they’re less numerous and clearly in the FCC’s jurisdiction.

If one wanted larger fines, N could be lowered but only count complaints with a recording of the call and proof it came from that number (e.g. a telephone bill). Harder to make a complaint, but also harder to turn the mechanism into a home for general grievances.
Only yesterday I had a "discussion" with someone online who was trying to explain to me that climate change is fake concept made to charge more money for everything through environmental regulations. I kept sending him more and more data proving that no, we really really are screwed, but eventually I just got called an eco-cuck(whatever that even means) who believes made up research. And no, this was not the first time I had a similar conversation with people.

I don't know, I just don't have a strength to do this anymore. Humanity is clearly in danger and yet there is a very vocal minority that keeps pretending none of this is happening and actively attacks anyone who says otherwise. I just feel like giving up on even trying anymore.
>Can we have proper English [...] , but "confesses" is much clearer and more readable than the original slang term.

I can't speak for non-native English readers' difficulties but as an fyi... "confess" is not an exact replacement for "fess up" because both have different connotations.

Therefore, if the (USA) writer is deliberately using connotations to shade the text, then the more informal "fesses up" is also proper English. E.g. respectable publications such as The New York Times have had writers and editors using the the phrase "fess up" for decades: https://www.google.com/search?q="fesses+up"+site%3Anytimes.c...

One industry that is very close to full autonomous operations is aerospace. In a controlled environment with less things to run into. And even they disengage the Autopilot in certain conditions. Why would we aim at full autonomy for cars in an uncontrollable chaotic environment with a lot of stuff to hit under all circumstances? In some countries you are not allowed to drive with summer tires in winter for safety reasons. So why not limit self driving capabilities in similar fashion?

Sadly, in a crowded city, the economics don't incentivize retailers to hold middle-tier goods. High ticket items have better margins for the same shelf space. Low ticket items ensure some sale. But that decent mustard you can find in any suburban supermarket? Never in a city corner store.

Which is to say, you've a nice dream that, often, unintentionally our society conspires against allowing.

AFAIK including the full VDM wasn't technically possible due to amd64 architecture limitations (no real mode support when in long mode - at least not without use of virtualization but that wasn't a thing at the time). They probably could have implemented partial support but i guess they wanted to keep the full VDM for 32bit versions of Windows (which were the majority for a good number of years anyway and thus more important for backwards compatibility).

OTVDM emulates a 386-ish CPU so it isn't affected by that (i think there is also some code to use virtualization instead but i'm not sure). It is much slower though, but it should still be much faster than the target hardware that 16bit Windows applications had. Perhaps it might be an interesting project to port DOSBox' more advanced JIT CPU emulation code to this.
Author here. In playing with the other available GraphQL API frameworks earlier this year, I realized that I needed something with more flexibility than schema-first GraphQL APIs like Prisma, but I also loved the consistency of the APIs that they produced. So I decided to build Warthog: a code-first GraphQL API framework built with TypeScript that uses decorators to autogenerate both the GraphQL schema as well as the database schema - you just supply the resolvers and data models. Under the hood it uses TypeGraphQL for the GraphQL schema generation, TypeORM for the DB migrations and sprinkles in a bunch of magic for the autogenerated filters, pagination and sorting. Also, since it's using TypeORM and TypeGraphQL under the hood, you can always fall back on using their decorators if you need to do something custom. Let me know what you think!
Ask HN: Opening a “Brick and Mortar” Business?
Greetings,

Has anyone here ever successfully had a "brick and mortar" business (like a coffee shop, mini supermarket, etc)? If so, how was the experience? How hard was it? It is something that can be done on the side?

Thanks!
Yeah, but there aren't that many working installations of historic mainframes in the world. By a consequence of serendipity, that school now is now the custodian of a piece of computer history. They probably can't keep it indefinitely, and will likely pass it on to someplace like a museum that will continue to maintain it in some form.

I am glad that there are people willing to keep a decent representative sample of big-iron machines in working order.

Tesla's page in question is quite clear about their methodology, and I can't really see the fault in it:

> The Vehicle Safety Score represents the “relative risk of injury with respect to a baseline of 15%,” according to NHTSA. Model 3 achieved a Vehicle Safety Score of 0.38, which is lower than any other vehicle rated in NHTSA’s public documents.

How can the NHTSA create a safety score regarding risk of injury, and then say that you can't use it to make a statement about the risk of injury?

6. BAM! Now you have calc.exe (attempted to) run as System with highest local priveleges

I had the exact same experience at the bitcoin only cafe paralelni Polis in Prauge. Only since they refuse to take cash I was left in a pinch. One of the people who worked there offered to spot me.... only to then adjust his balance which was registered on a piece of paper denoted in czk. Because as he said “the rate fluctuates so much and it takes so long to transfer that most who here just do one large transfer at some point and then run off the tab”.

Af far as proving that a bitcoin only cafe is viable it’s nothing but a PR scam. And I truly doubt that the people who’s balance was on that sheet actually went to the trouble of converting czk to bitcoin and then have the staff jot down the current rate equivalent czk. Most likely they just pay cash, and keep the facade up so media can’t claim their bitcoin only cafe is failing at being bitcoin only.

Good coffee though, just not worth the hassle.

I was stuck in LHR during the last time they had an identical system outage. I was lucky to be the very first person in line to check-in when the systems went down, so I was the first through when they fixed it 90min later. I had however missed my flight by then.

Also, everyone was a lot more pleasant about it in the first wing vs. the mess in the general check-in hall.

Seems these issues are not infrequent. BA and LHR need to get their shit together.
Cheap energy storage is far more realistic than fusion. I'm amazed you could think otherwise. Simply extrapolating cost reductions of Li-ion cells down their experience curve gives cheap storage, and there are hundreds of alternative chemistries and technologies that could also work, and that can be demonstrated more cheaply than any fusion reactor.
In the last few years there has been a social undercurrent of "don't help the police under any circumstances" that often comes from the "give up all of your guns to the police" crowd.

Our son urged us to get an Oculus Go a few weeks ago. My wife and I and some of our friends probably got enough entertainment value in the first week to make the purchase worthwhile. Our son then got an Oculus Quest and we also got one on Monday. The device blows me away. The first steps training module gets you up to speed in picking up objects like a ping pong paddle, hit balls, and generally get to the point where you function in VR without thinking about it. The Star Wars Vader Immortal experience is a real treat. When I materialized in a small space freighter with an incredibly detailed android assistant, I was hooked.

I did some work in VR for SAIC and Disney (through Angel Studios) in the 1990s and I am happy that something as good as Oculus is now in the market.

> This doesn't mention the function slot of the symbol, so one could perhaps argue that therefore the function slot is not meant to be a constant variable

Exactly

> but one could equally well argue the opposite

No, as variables and functions are different parts and there's a more general rule about functions applied to keywords.

Your argument seems to be based on a notion that keywords are something unique and special in CL. They are, but only to the extent that is specified in this section. Otherwise, they are the same as other symbols.

To me, Lisp is not about "forbidden all that's not explicitly allowed", but about "allowed all that's not explicitly forbidden" mentality.

Not sure if this will end up in consumer devices but it would be a hell of a lot better than SSD chips soldered onto laptop motherboards. The latest ultraportables all seem to have soldered SSDs because once Apple did it and the world kept spinning, that made it okay for Dell and everyone else to follow suit.
Of course the SSDs themselves would have to become easily available for people to upgrade their laptops or it will just be the next MXM standard, upgradeable in theory but no one actually does it.

Indian Mathematics: Redressing the Balance (2002)
I started doing that once. After 2 or 3 of those time wasting calls, I got one that the person said "Thank you for playing <my phone number>, you will continue to receive calls" and they hung up.

IOW: They have so many resources available, and it is so cheap for them to make the calls, that even after they knew I was going to waste their time, they continued the calls.

This was after I had tried their options for "press 1 to be removed" and talking to someone and saying "please remove me from your list".

The thing they may not have been anticipating: I had 3 numbers forwarding to my cell phone. Up until this call I didn't know which of them was on their list. I cancelled that phone number, and the calls dropped to almost 0.
Can someone explain on the situation of "Western Digital". I am confused.

At first I thought Western Digital is retiring their WD brand for HDD, and focus on SSD, but that is not true I find no information on it. There are still Red, Blue, and others.
As a matter of fact, it is the HGST brand that is getting killed, but the UltraStar range lives on.

So I am assuming the article is saying, the specific breed of HDD, Western Digital used to provided is no longer available, and it will be replaced by UltraStar, which used to be a HGST brand but are now under Western Digital ?

What happened to 20TB HDD which Seagate promised for 2020. Are we no where close to it? And MAMR Drive? Has Price / GB continued to decline, or given the situation of HDD market, the HDD maker are milking it? ( And I don't blame them )

> Moderate rain is not an acceptable condition for cars to refuse to drive. Especially in the middle of long trips.

It is absolutely acceptable for a self-driving system to refuse to drive in any conditions it can’t handle, but it must also deactivate in a safe way when such conditions arise during operation (e.g. pull over to the side of the road if the driver hasn’t positively acknowledged resuming control).

Commercial viability of any given system is a separate issue, but it’s pretty well accepted moral responsibility to not accept control of a vehicle if you’re unable to operate it safely, regardless of the consequences of that refusal(1). I see no reason to not hold consumer-facing self driving systems to the same standard. Otherwise, they require some specialized training for the operator to be able to recognize the situations in which they are safe to use.

(1) Actual life-and-death situations change this a little, but future availability of rescue personnel and equipment generally weight the conclusion towards operating safely in those situations as well.

I know we all hate Elsevier, and I do, too. But the assumption in this threat that one could get rid of publishers without any thought and with absolutely no downside is simplifying it slightly too far.

Elsevier currently has a margin of about 35%. That's a lot, and probably too much. But it also means they are spending 65% of revenue on something. Even assuming a decent chunk is marketing and sales, there are a few billion in that industry being spent on editing and coordination tasks.

Going from a final draft to a published, peer-reviewed paper involves quite a few menial tasks, and scientists will either need to fill those roles themselves, or someone needs to pay someone else.

This is well proven by the current alternative, Open Access journals: they charge authors fees in the high 3-digit range to cover their costs.

So, for authors, Open Access means going from providing your work for free to actually paying to publish your work. Of course the institutions will usually cover those fees, and they have exceptions for people who can't afford it (payed by those who can).

The research will then be freely available, which is great. But the changeover isn't done with setting up some CMS on some virtual server somewhere.

And They indeed do suffer from checkpoints - I've seen them myself - because there are towns on the other side of the wall that are technically East Jerusalem. There are East Jerusalem villages cleaved in half by the wall.
