Handbrake first, let car rest, then set in first gear. If you do it the other way around, you're resting the gears under load.

Danske Bank money laundering 'is biggest scandal in Europe'

Lars Løkke Rasmussen said he was outraged at the scale of the money-laundering operation at Danske’s Estonian branch. An independent investigation published on Wednesday found that 15,000 customers were involved in suspicious transactions.

“The fact that Denmark has been at the centre of a money laundering of this size is frankly quite horrible,” Rasmussen told reporters at the European Union meeting in Salzburg. The bank’s chief executive Thomas Borgen resigned on Wednesday but Rasmussen said: “The case does not end with this.”
Let alone back in the day landline phones were used as wiretapping devices, even when you are not speaking on the phone and it's on hook. The telephony standard was designed with this in mind, i.e. the possibility to turn any phone on-hook or off-hook to a listening device.
Because that's how you are supposed to do it. Parking in either handbrake or in gear alone is not reliable.
A couple of years ago we were holidaying in Kent, UK, and went for a walk on the South Downs. There was a guy in a hide shooting crows. He was at the edge of a field and had put some sort of lure in the middle of the field. Crows would fly down and he would shoot them. There were thirty or so dead birds grouped around the lure, but the crows continued to fly down, and continued to get shot. This makes me think that crow intelligence is as it were not general.
Medical treatment in Japan is mostly paid for by the government with the individual co-pay being 30-0% depending on the procedure.

The cost to the patient =! the actual cost of the procedure.

I would pay £0 for spending the night in the hospital even tho the cost of the trauma bed alone is £3200 per night according to NHS England.
Slack API does that too

Why is that bad? The gears surely take orders of magnitude more load in a moving car.

> The truck... had to take scheduled breaks but drove mostly autonomously. There were zero “disengagements,” or times the self-driving system had to be suspended because of a problem

These seems to imply short bursts of voluntarily shutting off auto-drive; I'd be curious to understand the rationale for when the two human copilots did so.
AFAIK in Poland, it's common knowledge among experienced drivers you should park on gear in lieu of handbrake in winter and/or a wet weather, especially if you plan to keep the car parked for more than a couple of hours.

We didn't know it until recently, which is how we ended up with blocked rear wheels after the car stayed parked for a couple of days, one of which was rainy. The process of unlocking the wheels damaged the brakes, so we also ended up with two visits to repair shop (one to hot-fix them before a trip home, another to fix them properly).
What is my purpose.

Yes, obviously about the past. .. and it also worked. You say "better" but you don't give any evidence to support your claim other than it's implicitly the status quo. Furthermore, shipping things halfway around the world is killing us in terms of carbon emissions. Hyperlocal manufacturing + regional manufacturing is inevitable because we cannot afford to keep that near vertical CO2 graph going up another 100 ppm.

Also, corporate giant agribusinesses with their pesticide residues and crop monocultures will likely lead us into illnesses and famines from "unexpected" crop failures by putting all their "eggs" into one clone crop "basket" and one region "basket."
They’re both reliable, the odds of either mechanism failing with the car at rest are slim. What’s not reliable is remembering to do it and making sure you did it right; doing both helps with that.

That is the reason why in Europe this feature is strictly forbidden. Even blue light vehicles needed to be started explicitly with the driver in seat and the driver has to follow a procedure if he wants to leave and lock the car with engine running. In blue light vehicles a running engine will support the blue light to run longer like when the car is used as a blocker in an accident situation on a highway.

But if you are serious about it, you'll have to learn about what are the major issues your country is facing. Politics is always done on people's problems or issues, they could be social or economics related or both. Everyone have a different perspective too, labor has a different one than tories, democrats have a different one than republicans.

But at the end of the day, remember that power is all that matters for politicians, they never take ideologies or issues as seriously as we plebeians do! For example, in the elections of the Indian state of Maharashtra recently, a political party called Shiv-Sena joined hands with another one called NCP (their ideals are as wide apart as republicans and democrats, or tories and labor!).

So, as a plebeian or citizen, you should call for more transparency and betterment of systems. You should also ensure that you don't hand too much power to one single guy or party because you know, power corrupts!

Yes, NVDA has some problems to do with network connectivity. It's a fairly well-known problem. It has been solved several times, and re-appeared several times, but getting the right trifecta of Windows version, network card and NVDA version means it can take somewhere in the range of a full minute just to say "Firefox".

Windows isn't my daily driver, mostly because Windows 10 has at several points reset _all_ the system settings with some updates, not just accessibility. Again, this isn't an unknown problem. It may happen less often now the team seems more aware of it, but it only has to happen once to render my computer nearly useless. It's less of a problem with Narrator, and more the tightly couple nature of Windows components and the decided drop in update quality in recent years.

The part about Narrator randomly speaking is something has appeared since the XP days. Now and then a single word will squeak through when the whole thing is supposed to be on mute. It's completely unpredictable though, so I wouldn't expect it (as a programmer) to be solved at any point soon.
And how many people have been killed between two cars because someone forget to pull the parking brake on a hill? A lot more than this way I am guessing.

There's very (or perhaps none) substance to this article. It's essentially a repetitive rant from someone who would prefer to live in western Europe.

America won't fail as long as it has a strong economy. No one knows how long that will last, but it's currently true, and there are no convincing signs it will see a depression anytime soon. Britain is similar, except their economy (much like the rest of Europe) hasn't seen much growth since the last recession.
So you paid a mutually agreed price for a funeral. If you didn’t want their services you could have gone elsewhere.
That is not true. There are situations where one or the other could fail, especially on a hill. A car in gear can be moved. That is a way how I start an engine for example.

Also depending on weather and temperature the handbrake can fail.
A few responses pointing to Ben Eater's videos. I have only a rudimentary understanding of electronics. I built my first 6502 computer following his first two videos. Ben's able to strip away a lot of things you don't need to know immediately to get up and running. Supplementing this with reading sites like 6502.org has built a lot of confidence for me to go beyond what Ben's released so far.

In San Francisco signs dictate you do three things: curb your wheels, park in gear, set the parking brake. Hasn't failed me yet. If I'm facing uphill I'll usually leave the car in reverse instead of first though.

It's a recipe for disaster. You prefer convenience over safety? You better put it in gear and then handbrake. One day my car was in only gear, neutral and a kid made it roll few feets by just playing inside the car. I'm afraid as hell since then.
They already have been displaced largely due to propaganda which is why we have record remuneration and demand for truck drivers. Musk already failed the 2020 goal, so I think it's important to decide when exactly they will be replaced. Will they replace log truck drivers in New Zealand like my brother, who has a ton of responsibilities other than just driving on single-lane off-road tracks (which requires special protocols for safety, etc)?
I don't - my boss is great person, good manager and great programmer.

No, not non-existent. The handbrake can and do fail over time.
To be fair though, birds have had to adapt long ago to evaluating the movement of very fast moving objects, while rabbits and most mammals have not really had to cope with fast speeds until humans invented cars just a century ago.
That's generally not a good idea. Cable stretch is not a problem, it can be adjusted (and generally modern cars often have a self-adjust system for handbrake cable, even for manual handbrakes).

Handbrake should be used to keep it effective (so that the cable moves regularly and does not get stuck). And, if the gear is released accidentally, you still have the brake, and vice versa.

(Myself, I have always parked with handbrake on + gear in 1st or reverse; nowadays with my VW it's pretty automatic because it's DSG and you have to put the selector to P to take the key out, and electric parking brake activates automatically.)
I understand. I am simply pointing out an option for the price-sensitive folk who also don't mind going the extra mile to fight for their privacy and reduce tracking.

I personally prefer my iPhone.
Europe is no longer an innovation leader.
I've had the car roll when I thought the handbrake was engaged. The pull-levers aren't binary, so sometimes people don't pull them enough (I sometimes get others complaining I pulled it too far and it's difficult for them to release). Other times they seem to get warn down...I've caught people driving with them still engaged.

They’re both reliable, the odds of either mechanism failing with the car at rest are slim. What’s not reliable is remembering to do it and making sure you did it right; doing both helps with that.

Your engine will lose compression over time so it's plausible that it'll roll a bit without the brake engaged.
I'm sorry, what? That's completely false.

I doubt flutter will be significantly leaner for real world, full featured apps, like slack. After all flutter is reusing Chrome's building blocks, with Skia and many other render related libraries, with similar IPC architecture for security, etc. They've replaced the js run-time with dart.

See download sizes here [1], if they remind you electron app sizes [2], it's because flutter is a slimmer (not by much) Chrome.

Flutter will suffer from huge update sizes like electron, but may be faster out of the box, and slimmer (not by much) in RAM. However, using Carlo [3] or Lorca [4] can yield similar benefits, without learning dart, or dealing with brand new flutter edge cases solved years ago elsewhere. In my opinion, flutter is not yet a better mouse trap for desktop apps, and even for mobile, ionic 4 is plenty performant

Today's innovation leader is that dragon who started his life as a copycat. People used to make fun of "Made in China" once and today, they produce most innovative mobile devices that people use.
Sounds like mismanagement in the higher echelon. The team leader should lead up the chain to ensure deadlines are realistic and hindering restrictions are dealt with.

How does he do this? By complying with corporate rules to show good faith and intervene when necessary.

It's also important that he understands the rules and communicates them to the team.

The team manager should be on good terms with upper management and the team.

This is hard and requires skill.

I'll share the sentiment with @nkrisc.

For a designer, this is really painful to read. But I do agree to some extent. Though it is a little bit more complicated than how you put it.

> Won't happen until/unless dedicated design folks have to provide support for their creations.

This is partially true. The way I work is that I always provide "the best" solution I can think of. I always explain the reasoning behind it. But then it all comes down to the client.

You either have a solution that covers all edge cases, is extendable and works for the use case but usually isn't very cool. But the client "knows" that design sells. So they want something that "pops" and can serve as marketing material on its own. And at that moment it is about the pricing. If you charge hourly, you can iterate however long you want, you can have calls where you argue about usability and long term sustainability of your designs. But if you charge per project, at one point you will decide that you've done enough because it is no longer very cost-effective to continue like that. And you deliver what the client wants and what makes them happy.

And this is where the whole conversation turns almost philosophical. Should you deliver something that is good for the product, but the client is not satisfied (and probably won't recommend you in the future)? Or do you make your client happy, but deliver a sub-par experience? (This happens less and less as I progress and charge more for my work, but still happens from time to time).

You can argue that prioritizing product should deliver better long term results. But there are too many variables. There will be changes in the product that will make your solutions obsolete, or the implementation is not right and the promised result won't be delivered. Or the functionality of your designs change drastically, but the solution stays the same. So statistically, betting on a satisfied client is working better than on good product experience.
A great manager shields off their team from all the bullshit, so good job!
actually my Alltrack has EPB so i dont think there's a cable (or any mechanical linkage) from the brake lever to the caliper. sounds like it's all electronic -> hydraulic. in that case i should probably use it more.

> i prefer to leave it in gear rather than hand brake

> (unless on grade) to avoid the handbrake becoming less

> effective over time as the cable stretches.

Your justification for not using the handbrake for its intended purpose it that it may become less effective in the future? Seems counter intuitive unless I'm missing something...

If you believe your handbrake cable will stretch/break, just check it regularly. It really isn't that expensive to replace (compared to other car maintenance) and there's no harm in being extra cautious in this case.
Thanks for sharing your experience! I've been soldering for quite some time but even still there is a limit to my precision that seems magnitudes of orders worse than the ability of others. I guess that's why I'm not a surgeon haha.

Follow up question, how do you know what the right temperature for the iron should be or a particular solder/desolder? Too hot and you'll burn the PCB but too cold and you'll just make a mess of scratches/half melted solder.

Any advice on capitalizing on that ability?

In my experience it is better to support parsing some CSV formats compared to none at all. The UI should make transparent what format is expected.

Venture capital can be absolutely horrendous in some areas, and you're stuck with either

1) Go to the bank and get a normal business loan

2) VC peanuts with terrible conditions

3) Work hard and save up money, get co-founders and pool your money.

Not saying that it's not like that in tech-hubs, but I'm in one of the most expensive countries in the world, and our VC community is so underdeveloped that it's shameful.

> That is a way how I start an engine for example.

I’ve never seen anyone successfully start an engine from stand-still with it in gear (though I’ve seen people try). You get it rolling in neutral and only then engage the gear to start the engine without a starter or battery.
