> In the US, I think the EPA would not let you

In Canada, you need to be a licensed something-or-other to purchase or own compressed CO2 canisters. This put SodaStream in an awkward position when entering the Canadian market, since their whole business model is built on selling people CO2. But they figured out a workaround: in Canada, you don't buy their CO2 canisters; instead, you "join a club" that allows you to borrow CO2 canisters (and/or refills the ones you have), and then charges servicing fees for "their" canister equipment. (Sort of like how a catering company would rent a helium tank.)

I wonder if something similar could be done for refrigerant-supply licensing in the US.
Sorry if that came off as political, I mentioned the leadership at the time as epoch markers as I didn't recall off-hand the specific dates. I suspect people didn't realize that the fiduciary rule wasn't a thing prior to 2015, let alone that it was over by 2018, and it is my understanding the Trump administration was looking at resurrecting the rule.

A lite touch to anything shouldn't activate something in a car. Drivers are effectively blind to anything else in the car while driving and controls should be design in such a way that the use of the drivers eyes are not required.

Health care systems are furloughing workers because there are not enough patients.
I'm not asking for my premiums back and don't expect it.
Just saying that after 5 years of premiums the insurance company would be break even on that policy. If premiums are high enough its not really insurance. Not that everyone has the same insurance company but generally if everyone has paid premiums that meet the value of the car after 5 years then all of the insurance company risk is with cars less than 5 years old. The insurance company will keep pushing for more intrusion into your life to 'give you the best rate' but really you'll just pay more. Like you said if it wasn't profitable then no one would do it. Making apps and integrating with telematics doesn't come for free and its not coming out of the insurance company bottom line.
There are other forms of costs it introduces besides strictly the monetary cost of the device itself.

I should note that PPL is not designed to protect against the kinds of attack described in this article; it's really meant to prevent substitution of forged page tables and by coincidence the address chosen by the author ended up being unmappable due to an attempt to protect against virtual memory read/write in the kernel.
I can only speak for myself, but I think the lack of core vehicle controls on analog / tactile interfaces is a major failure. That’s an opinion I hold for Tesla as well as other car manufacturers who have shifted vehicle controls to touchscreens.

I do love many other things about Tesla cars. I think generally, the sum total of things I love about the Model 3 outweighs the things I hate. For example, the automate wiper sensor is good enough that I generally don’t have to interact with the manual control, which mitigates my day-to-day distaste for it.

Regarding the name for people who hold conflicting views, I think “hypocritical” gets you pretty close.
If you're adding encryption support, you're likely adding openssl which brings hundreds of cryptographic primitives you're not going to use. Are you lazy because you didn't write your own RSA? (you can do it in ~3 functions)

That generalisation didn't work well, because as you say - it's about tradeoffs.
I am amazed how well my Zojirushis make rice. One can make the same rice two different ways, consistently (white, umami). No burnt layer, no undercooked rice. I think the pressure/induction makes slightly better rice than the standard fuzzy logic; there's no restaurant near me whose rice I'd prefer over my p/i Zoji.
> In contrast, when shown numbers with embedded faces, the number’s effect apparently swamped that of the face: RFS reported seeing neither; everything looked like spaghetti. Yet an EEG still showed the characteristic N170 spike for registering faces. Somehow, his brain was still processing and identifying a face—a fairly high-level skill—even though his conscious mind was oblivious. This deficit shows high-level cognitive processing and consciousness are distinct, Koch says. “You can get one without the other.”

I think this misses another possibility besides "cognitive processing and consciousness are distinct".

Namely, "the part of them that is conscious of the cognitive processing is not well-connected to the part of them that is generating speech and controlling their motor systems."
Maybe Hacker News is next on Trumps ban list. Would you be happy about that?

Also, I would think carefully how productive your time spend here really is. Is surfing and commenting on HN providing any substantial "education"?

Personally i find it an entertaining way to waste some time, that does now and then enlighten me on a topic I didn't know about before, and have cause to want to learn more. But any real knowledge gained is through effort outside of HN.

Is it the same group of people? Isn't it possible that the set of people complaining about Ford's touchscreens is completely disjoint from the set of people loving Tesla's touchscreens, with no hypocrisy whatsoever? Or are people all just part of the same herd of consumer sheep?
There are still a concerning number of much more serious chronic complications reported by low-risk young adults. Many report that the symptoms continue months after recovering from COVID-19, with no end in sight. Even though there isn’t much in the way of formal research at this point, it should at least raise some eyebrows.

I suspect those are mainly emotional responses by people who are unhappy they knew about cryptocurrency for years and missed out on profits.

> Health care systems are furloughing workers because there are not enough patients.

Sure, for routine care because people are avoid healthcare environments because of the risk of COVID-19. At the same time, the same systems are unable to deal with critical needs because ICU beds and other related critical resources that COVID-19 puts a high demand on are exhausted in some localities and nearly exhausted statewide in the worst hit areas.
Pretty common around the world, especially when you have universal health care.

1) you’ve committed a traffic violation.

2) you’ve damaged property and caused a casualty even if it’s only one being yourself.

You won’t always end up in court but if the accident was due to a a severe failure on your part (and wasn’t unavoidable) for example drunk driving or using a cell phone it doesn’t matter if you hit a tree or another car as far as the law goes.

> It's also hard to inspect; the output of "env" tends to be somewhat long, and you don't know which the program will pick up on. Flags are much clearer and more explicit.

I don't think I disagree with your post, but this particular point seems to be trivially solved by prefixing the variable name with the program name?

IOW: `env | grep '^GIT_'` to see what you're passing to `git`.
I’m not sure I understand your examples. You note that they don’t go through any sort of performance review process, but your subsequent sentence suggests you don’t really have visibility into whether that’s the case? And then you point out that as senior engineers, you can’t imagine anybody opposing things they say.

Do you have an actual example of ways in which their treatment by Google differs from other engineers? These seem like conjecture about what their work experience is like.
This idea get throw around every now and then while drinking.

Take it further. If you witness a car from Tesla or any other publicly traded corp spontaneously combust on the side of the road and you know it will result in massive recalls before the general public and then short the stock, is that insider trading too?

Web. A self documenting protocol is it runs a webserver that accepts simple form requests.

"But web tech is insecure!"

If they can't secure a form post, what hope do they have of securing a proprietary api?

Yes, home appliances running webservers would have downsides for management, but that's where routers could add value. It would be trivial for a router to scan port 80 of every device on your network and present a page to pick your devices. That's something I'd even use an app for.

"Port 80? But what about encryption you complete monster!"

How the hell is that cert going to work? Even if they had some magical way to store a cert on the device securely, surely they're going to screw up keeping it up-to-date, or do you want your "it's MY device! Mine!" to depend on an external provider for security?

Just make sure the devices can run on some kind of VPN.

Router can keep them on a VPN and run a proxy with proper SSL for outsiders. Then you only need one device in your network secured to modern standards, all your IoT run in the router's IoT sandbox and all access to them is through a proper SSL-encrypted proxy portal.

There. It would be possible to make that layman-friendly infrastructure. Router detects you connecting to LAN device over port 80 and says "hey, this looks insecure, do you want to move this device to the secure sandbox? You can access all IoT devices securely through my app! Y/N/OMG this is awful never ask me again!"
Because most car manufacturers put analog controls even if they are more limited and you have a warning in the touch controls or the manual that the screen can only be operated by a passenger or when the car is stationary.
This is an example of how there are just some controls that must be tactile in a moving vehicle. You have to be able to use them w/o staring at a screen. And activating the wipers in the event of sudden rain seems like something that should've had controls.

Even then, I find on my car I must adjust the windshield wipers to conditions when driving through rain. If the rain gets heavier, then I turn them to a higher setting. This isn't possible with a Tesla? There's a physical control on it, but it seems to only do the fluid spray or a single swipe?

I get the big dash touchscreen yields software benefits through OTA, but a certain level of tactile is needed as long as there's a human driving.

Otherwise you get an incident like this where you can't safely engage the wipers.
So much hands wringing these days about TikTok - a Chinese company which might pass information to the Chinese government.

The big silicon valley tech companies hoover up your data. What could possibly go wrong? Affect the outcome of a democratic election with targeted advertising?
Why? You're only limited by your imagination and pocketbook.

An attorney litigated a parking ticket in my city with a series of appeals that went on for like 15 years. IIRC, it was focused on the legality of designating a parking space for "official vehicles" or something like that.
You’re skirting around the argument. The parent’s argument is that no single politician should have this power. It isn’t an argument for or against the government stepping in here—it’s an argument against who’s doing it.

Agreed. Right to repair, which I believe includes software should become law. I have a pile of bricked stuff, mostly electronics that I can't use (hello Pebble Watch). I hesitate to buy "connected" products unless they are open (e.g. Z-wave switches), never proprietary stuff!

Thanks for sharing that, seems to still be out a bit - it took SpaceX quite a while to make Falcon 9 solid. So, if New Shephards first launch is next yearz it will probably take another 2-4 years until all glitches that appear are fixed. So I wouldn't be surprised if they send the first batches of satellites using rockets of other manufacturers.
>a highly knowledgeable group of people (HN)

Threads don't attract the same people. It's reasonable to suppose that the vast majority of people that didn't believe the story didn't participate at all - they said to themselves "this looks dumb/boring/improbable" and clicked on something else.
1. Where is the hard evidence? I saw a lot of B-roll footage with he-said-she-said, but no hard evidence of the organ harvesting or hair harvesting you claimed in your original post. We cannot rely on testimonials because as history shows [4], testimonials are easily fabricated.

2. Actually cites the exact same Vice documentary you linked in (1).

3. Cites Rushan Abbas, who worked in Guantanamo and for Radio Free Asia (a literal US propaganda outlet) [5]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rushan_Abbas

4. Quotes Adrian Zenz, which as I said in my original reply, cannot be considered a quality source. He doesn't speak, read, or write Chinese, and AFAIK hasn't spent anytime in China. His methodology for calculating the population of imprisoned Quighurs consists of interviewing a dozen people for estimations, and then extrapolating these figures across the entire population of Xinjiang. He produces figures, that on the face of it make no sense (1.8 million people imprisoned, three times the size of San Francisco). Is also NPR, which is US funded and cannot be considered an impartial source, given the geopolitical rivalry between China and the US.

As I said earlier, these claims all originate from the same sources (Adrian Zenz, World Uighur Congress), but if you dig into their methodologies or funding sources, you quickly see how murky the details get.

5. Cites Falun Gong, which is a literal cult, akin to Scientology. Experts at the WHO have called into question these claims [6], and the US embassy staff conducted an investigation in 2006 and found no such occurances [7]

> When grouped, the option accepting an argument must be last ... program -abcooutput.txt

Good grief, no.

There may be some utilities out there which work this way, but it is not convention and should not be regarded as one.

Single letter options should almost always take an argument as a separate argument.

Some traditional utilities allow one or more arguments to be extracted as they are scanning through a "clump" of single letter options:

-abc b-arg c-arg

Implementations of tar are like this.

Newly written utilities should not allow an option to clump with others if it requires an argument. Only Boolean single-letter options should clump.

Under no circumstances should an option clump if its argument is part of the same argument string. For instance consider the GCC option -Dfoo=bar for defining a preprocessor macro, and the -E option doing preprocessing only. Even if -Dfoo=bar is last, we don't want it to clump with -E as -EDfoo=bar --- and it doesn't.

But, in the first place, even if it did, we don't want to be looking to C compilers for convention, unless we are specifically making a C compiler driver that needs to be compatible.
Nobody.. except Hashicorp :(
Why would you design it that way? I mean, if you’re going to have a manual wiper control anyway, why make it so limited compared to what every other car can do?

This obsession with touchscreens over ones you can control by feel without looking[1] ... it’s ridiculous.

[1] sorry, anyone know the standard term for that?
It wouldn't surprise me if the largest change will be in employer behavior.
Genuine emergencies (IEEPA expressly addresses seems conflict with special provisions, and arguably mostly is made for that and conditions imminently threatening it) may need responses inside the legislative cycle, which is why IEEPA exists. Certainly, it's arguably been stretched beyond the basic intent in the past (but Congress hasn't reasserted itself in response), and even by the standards of past use this is somewhat ludicrous, but I think that the basic concept is one which makes the case that it's not the President having the power to exercise judgement in this area that is the problem but the judgement actually exercised.
That was my initial line of thinking as well, until someone reminded me of some government list that TikTok could be added to which would require that they’re pulled from the app stores.

I got an enormous amount from wordreference.com when learning spanish, e.g. you look up "sigue"

https://www.wordreference.com/es/en/translation.asp?spen=sig...

..and at the bottom of the page are links to friendly discussions about hundreds of questions asked about the word 'sigue' alone or in idioms. Questions are answered within hours. I found it invaluable reading the discussions about usage, more than any single piece of writing could be, and it tells you where the people are from, which variety of english/spanish they speak, whether native speakers etc.

The other most important thing was meeting a teacher on a language exchange site that matches your language levels, and teaching each other. I had one teacher as a beginner and another years later, both became dear friends, endless hours of chatting.

But I never thought of combining the two! Good luck.
