Most of the newer EVs have been built from scratch.

Homelessness is a USA specific problem? I’ve seen homeless in downtown Tokyo. Incredibly polite homeless, but homeless.

As for gun laws, I don’t understand how that has any impact on our tipping policies.

I once took a British colleague to a Baseball game here in the states. It was “mini bat night”, where they would hand out mini baseball bats to the attendees as they entered the park. My colleague was horrified - “you couldn’t do that in the UK, people would be hitting each other with them”. My response “you can’t hit each other with mini bats in the US because you don’t know who’s armed”.

Which society is more civilized? I’ve never been concerned about assault at a sporting event. Well, maybe a Raiders game, but I wouldn’t include that crowd as a fraction of civilized society.

Semi guess here. But OP maybe meant that electric motors require less labor to manufacture more specifically. Tesla’s come up to speed on actual mass manufacturing of the vehicles themselves has resulted in a lot of manual work that other big manufacturers would have been able to automate. This was a big “scandal” with the Model 3...where it was reported that some things were being done by hand that normally wouldn’t be
Going to the theater is neither a necessity nor is it the only form of entertainment available. As such, nothing forces people to go there so even if there was only a single film studio the quality of films would still matter.

It is both, it's a double-edged sword. On one hand, your brain can adapt very quickly to new stimuli and adopt good or bad habits such as problem solving or addiction. But, this quick adaptation also means you can 'unlearn' these things very easily too.

That's my pop-sci understanding of plasticity, i picked it up when trying to get rid of my bad habits.
The idea is that the fines as supposed to act as a deterrent, but unfortunately there's been a shitload of really bad practices stemming from the fact that many consultants have drawn the erroneous conclusion that pre-ticked opt-in boxes are legal. Fines were handed out regarding a few specific cases, but very few businesses know about this and most of the ones that do claim it doesn't concern them for whatever reason. Furthermore, the Danish authorities set a very dangerous precedent when they refused to take on Google with the sole reason that Google are to big and that someone else have to do it.

But yes, until the situation has stabilized and someone has gotten very badly hurt from a financial perspective, the only sensible thing is to block non-HTML content by default and only whitelist the stuff you actually want to run.
I think there was an article about that.

I'd consider Apple an example of exactly why this sort of input is bad for entertainment, Tim Cook personally cancelled their first scripted show after supposedly wasting two years making it [1].

With companies like Apple and Disney at the helm you're only going to get milquetoast film and TV.

Not saying TV needs sex and violence to be good, but once creators are limited through the lens of a wider production company brand, they're always going to be limited.

Typical case of the person writing the cheque thinking they're way more important to the creation of the work than they actually are, Disney and Apple execs live in a world where they have convinced themselves we'd watch their movies and at the end think "Wow, Disney/Apple did a great job on this" rather than the director or actors.

because of syntactical restrictions of how await work, at most you need to allocate a single function frame, never a full stack, and often it doesn't even need to be allocated separately and can live in the stack of the underlying OS thread.
It isn't just stable APIs but part of that is consistency of signatures, methods and usage.

APIs used to be cleaner and more atomic, today they seem like very leaky abstractions and breaking changes seem to be all the rage.

Previously, breaking changes were seen as a serious thing as it meant the API signatures/functionality was missing and needed to be broken.

Today, breaking changes is just part of the "move fast and break things" fad that developers don't even try to make a stable/consistent API anymore.

Lots of the problems are that development/engineering is no longer in the hands of developers/engineering/product people or designers, it is pushed by project managers and bizdev/MBAs/marketing/finance which is backwards. Good products should be built, with lots of thought into long living APIs and limited breaking changes and maintenance, that is then marketed and sold because it is value, instead we get the exact opposite. Rarely does software today ever get to a stable phase before the platform is version two'd, and there is no time added for software quality or solid products, features and underlying systems are in constant harvest and replanting.

Stable consistent APIs don't help lock-in and they don't sell books, conferences, or allow large companies more control. For larger companies to keep control they need to break standards, and regularly break their own platforms to keep people updating and invested, it sucks and is why software is so bad today.

In your division, ARC is stop-the-world variety because things like cascading deallocations cause unbounded work.
Thinking about this method, I think that a much better use for the technique could be:

1) either engrave the inner surface of metallic parts in airplanes or spatial stations with a microscopic pattern allowing the recognition ot metal scrapes stolen or found in the sea after an accident (hours count and you could be searching in the wrong area). This could accelerate a lot the identification of the remains and help identifying corpses found next to some metallic part. Many metallic parts are hollow and as long as the pattern is placed in inner surface (inside a tube for example) would not create any problem with dirt, paint or gloss of the final product. That could be a real application.

2) or try to engrave the outer surface to make the airplane surface smoother without losing too much efficience and properties. I assume that this in hands of a competent engineer could reduce a little the noise emited by the airplane.

3) same as point one, but for guns and weapons would be also really useful

> Data protection suggests that it is okay in the first place to collect data, as long as it is going to be protected. But this is a problem. Data shouldn't be collected in the first place, because you can't probably protect it properly anyways (leaks etc.).

Article 5 of GDPR specifically deals with the reduction of what's collected and the destruction of data after it has served its purpose. The legislators were well aware that what isn't there cannot be lost, stolen or misused.

Not collecting personal data in the first place is always the preferred scenario.

I guess it depends on how you define "range". How long will it take to drive across five states in a Tesla Model S as compared to a Porsche Taycan?

We know the answer for the Tesla because people do it every day, across many combinations of states. How far you can drive on a single charge means a lot less in practice than how far you can drive in a reasonable amount of time while charging at real, plentiful Supercharger stations.
Chinese police arrest former Bitmain employee, who is now CEO of its rival
The article makes the point that it became inefficient to use displacement maps due to their size ballooning beyond '36 times' what they would normally use. So this means that the ground displacement map was just not detailed enough and pushing it to higher resolutions didn't scale. Instead they used Houdini to generate sand grains, I presume Houdini used some sort of displacement map per grain? The final result is a mesh nevertheless.

They also mention that, "this result was driven by a combination of culling techniques including camera frustum, facing angles and distance, creating a variance of dense to coarse patches of sand for optimum efficiency."

So while they had grains each of ~5000 polygons available to them and positions that they could occupy, they cut down on that polygon count using a combination of techniques (many common in games too) to make it all work. So the polygons of any grains outside the camera frustum were ignored. The faces of the grains point away from, I presume, any light source and therefor not contributing to the path tracer were ignored and also some soft of LOD to reduce polygon count as distance.

As an amateur blender user I'm reminded of microdisplacement as a way for us mere mortals to achieve something in this space:

Yup, padding estimates is akin to what you might do if you had a repeatable process but there was some predictable variance (e.g. illness, machinery maintenance, holidays) rather than a bunch of unknown and exploratory problem solving.
Honestly, in Dutch (the second quote you posted) that phrasing will leave few impressed with the text due to its extremely archaic formulation and the pompous capitalisation of that god's pronouns (which is kind of modern in a sense, but surely not quite what the authors intended).

This is a very Silicon Valley sort of framing of a problem that is very core to the human experience. I’ve been reading through the (NIV) bible and it’s really interesting to connect a lot of passages to mindfulness (which derived from buddhism, also been around for thousands of years). It’s clear that humans have been struggling with the overactive mind for a long while.

Anyways, knock the dopamine fasting practice all you want, I sure do xD. But it’s not a first world problem at its core, people have had these problems in much less active times in humans history and across different societal structures.

While I agree with you here, there is also a point that it might attract new and younger users with its more 'modern' look.

Personally I like sites like HN or the old style wikipedia for its information density and out of the way design. But that might just be the age talking here. People that grow up now that mostly scroll by touching the screen with their fingers have other requirements and ideas about good UI.
But why should we want real identity confirmation? It's a platform where people don't use full sentences because of the limitations of tweets. It's not exactly a place where the information you learn should be taken seriously.

Getting the cabling in neat order takes that 30 mins alone. So does CPU+cooler installation. I always reserve a whole afternoon+evening for full computer rebuilds. Then again, that happens every 5-8 years so I'm always a bit rusty when starting.

Also, never had a prebuilt so could be they aren't as clean with the cabling of course.

Isn't Twitter much more heavily slanted towards left-wing politics? Twitter has pretty much become a haven for that. I really don't see why you would think that the group you mentioned are the ones that ruined Twitter. Incidentally, Reddit seems to be going the same way, but they probably have more niche communities that are isolated from the rest of the site, so it might not become as big of an issue.

> Imagine maximum salaries or maximum wages; it's along the same lines

I have read somewhere that the main reason capitalism has worked well over communism is, capitalism explicitly does not put a cap on wealth (and therefore, money) a person can accumulate since different people bring different values in society and the moment you put a cap on that, the person will lose motivation and stop even bringing the expected value for the cap that is being proposed.

I'm in no way arguing for/against taxing the wealthy and do not have a well-informed stance in this issue. Because, I also think money breeds money and if you are wealthy, the probability of you gaining more wealth increases exponentially.

Personally, I think maximum salaries or maximum wages will not work since it inherently has some disadvantages - do you propose an absolute maximum value for everyone in this world? or do you propose region wise or based on some other criteria? If region wise, just like remote work salaries, people will start gaming the system etc etc ... I think this discussion goes far more than keeping billionaires rich and discounting the segment of people who might end up in that list sometime in future, but maybe they are holding themselves back from giving more value to society because of these laws?

Don't know what you did exactly, but the official W3C validator site uses 20 year old DTDs for DTD-based validation, but then HN's markup uses presentational elements/attributes from the HTML4 transitional/loose era intended to ease migration to CSS back then. The errors show exactly what's wrong with HN's markup eg. missing "alt" attribute on images where required, use of long-obsolete elements, missing DOCTYPE, etc. so I guess it's working as expected in suggesting improvements to your site's markup, doesn't it?

FYI: if you want to parse modern HTML 5 using SGML (with my HTML5 "mini"-DTD), see [1]. For example to check the HN homepage, download it using curl, then add a DOCTYPE to it ('<!DOCTYPE html SYSTEM "about:legacy-compat">'), then invoke "sgmlproc" on it, and it'll just work and parse without errors (see downloads and instructions on linked page).

Agree. The best way to manage memory in trivial, one-off C programs is not managing it at all. Don't try to free() everything. When I first started to write in C, I attempted to free() whenever I have a chance to, no matter how trivial the program is. Later a textbook convinced me that the effort is not worthwhile (unless for learning C) if all your program does is some simple calculation or processing.
Statistical significance is almost meaningless in this case (or necessesary, but not sufficient). One can calculate the necessary sample size to guarantee stasticial significance before the study even starts.

I just calculated it for this study: With an estimated small effect size (0.1), 95% confidence (α=0,05) und 1 degree of freedom you have guaranteed significance at n=197. Phase 2 of the study at hand had n=167, so almost guaranteed significance from the sample size alone.

The problem is that the confidence intervals are huge and their range covers the negative space, too. In other words: It is quite possible that a reproduction of the study would show negative results.
