Not sure what you mean by starting with "or". Both statements may well be true.
Renting is not credit because you don’t get the thing all upfront and then pay for it later. If fact if anything, the renter is giving the landlord up to one month of rent as credit because rent is usually due on the first of the month in order to be able to live there that month. But that’s just sort of an artifact of the discretization of the payment, as far as the arrangement goes there is an ongoing equal trade of values between both parties.

As far as banks being able to make their own credit decision, that’s all fine and good but then they pretend like that’s not what’s happening. If I ask a bank why they denied my loan, they won’t tell me about the specific activities I’ve done that prove me un creditworthy (sometimes I can press to ask what they can see on my report and if they’re feeling nice they may tell me, but they don’t have to). The fact that there’s no party you can ask to just evaluate ahead of time what the result will be, or to see what i can do to get myself above the threshold, so the individual is always at a disadvantage of information asymmetry, is what makes the system bogus. And then on top of that, just the act of seeing if you qualify for the thing lowers your credit score further!

If I’ve been burned by this as a high paid tech worker with just a couple of mistakes in my autopay settings in the past, I can’t even imagine how big of a problem this is for people who have had actual hardships.

Tesla Model 3 driver has license suspended after posting on hackernews via touchscree
I was forced to get a touchscreen by dell to get 4k. I never touch it, have an external keyboard and mouse. When I clean it, it produces a lot of erroneous input.
It was cut due to the title length limit.
The standards in question are preponderance of the evidence (civil) and beyond a reasonable doubt (criminal). The standard is never "any possible way" or "no possible way."

So my response would be that at a certain point, a tiny possibility does not amount to reasonable doubt.
I've worked in the same space. This is bullshit crocodile tears. All of the device control protocols have systems for creating custom features. BLE is particularly easy to use, though it's really not that different from older specs like ZWave and ZigBee.

I don't. He's basically admitting his engineers are incapable of reading relatively short, well-written spec documents.

This stuff is standardized. BLE is extremely easy to use, both on a device and in an application. BLE makes it possible to create self-documenting devices that any application could use. Device manufacturers are going out of their way to prevent that from happening.
It’s worth noting that the driver didn’t have their license suspended for adjusting their wipers. They had their license suspended because they crashed their car while adjusting their wipers. In the court’s opinion, interacting with the touchscreen distracted the driver sufficiently to lead to the crash.

The driver’s defense (that the touchscreen is a safety device because it also shows the speedometer) seems hard to fathom. Clearly if the driver was watching YouTube on the touchscreen, the fact that it also shows their speed wouldn’t have been relevant.

It seems more concerning that Tesla’s wiper controls can’t be operated in manual mode w/o visual attention from the driver. I own a Model 3, and I don’t think I could reasonably change the wiper settings w/o looking at the screen, despite knowing where the UI options are and their general layout.
I don't know how to tell you this, but a lot of Muslim groups don't like other types of Muslims, and China pumps so much money into those states that they likely wouldn't bat any eye anyhow, especially with Qatar and Saudi Arabia having their own slavery problems.

Growing up I always assumed a rice cooker was one of those things I'd never be able to live without - for years my family used one almost every day.

When I moved out of home, I didn't buy a rice cooker initially, because you don't strictly need one to make rice. I was amazed at how convenient making decent quality rice on the stove was! It cooks faster, and there's less cleaning up afterwards.

Many years have past and I still don't own a rice cooker. I'm not sure I'll ever own one gain.
I hate that too. What sold me the idea is the fact I can use it to heavily reduce the CSS to be exactly what I have used.

I knew an older woman who had a hard time remembering freeways by their numbers but could remember them all by their names (e.g. "Santa Ana" freeway instead of "5"). That seemed odd because to me the number was the name, so why be any different?
Rob Pike and Ken Thompson have Sundar as their manager (I saw this at least with other Google Fellows) and don't go through perf in any real sense if they actually do have a perf process which I doubt they do. They do whatever they want and set their own agendas. At Google seniority is revered. It's very strict in that sense so I literally cannot imagine someone "overruling" or mounting any serious opposition to Pike or Thompson on anything.

Edit: They're not actually fellows it's been pointed out but high ranking ICs like that do have a lot of respect within Google and are treated deferentially, especially famous ones just based on my own experience with high ranking ICs.

Someone ought to make a reverse window unit. It would be like a regular one but hanging inward instead so it doesn't protrude. Supporting the weight might be a challenge but solvable with some legs or maybe angle brackets.

Of course it would take up more space and be louder than a regular window unit, but at least it wouldn't require hoses. Plus it could drip condensation out the window through a short tube.
There probably has to be a machine before DEMO to solidify the engineering and materials.

Also, after ITER, there will not be enough tritium to do another large machine (the tritium comes from heavy water reactors, but those have lost in the market and will be shutting down in the next couple of decades.) So a machine to just make tritium may be needed.

Not yet, not until re-entry. It's arguably the most dangerous part of the missions since launching on Falcon 9 has happened many times before.

Both Soyuz and the Space Shuttle had fatal accidents on re-entry.
If German drivers aren't legally allowed to use the touchscreen for basic driving tasks like adjusting the windshield wiper setting, then whatever German regulatory agency that let Tesla sell in Germany should not have allowed the car to be sold. (and if adjusting the wipers takes so much attention that it led to the crash, then arguably the car shouldn't be sold anywhere with that UI)

That's the thing I dislike the most about Tesla, that everything is run by the touchscreen. They should sell a modular dashboard gauge and button set for those that want real controls and gauges.

If you had a fission reactor with a power density as low as a fusion reactor, it would be incredibly safe also. All that thermal inertia, accidents would go in extreme slow motion.

You might ask why fission reactors aren't designed that way.
It depends on the situation. Blaming for negligence does not wash the criminal off their crime. Going alone and naked in front of a pride of lions will get you killed. The lions will do the killing, sure. But you placed yourself in a powerless position against predators, and you were at their mercy, and there lies your blame. You can be preemptive and kill the lions beforehand, or tame them. Maybe you are not able to do that at all at this time - and that was true until we made good enough weapons. But until measures are taken, and if you know the dangers, avoid them.

A woman that goes in a bad neighborhood dressed provocatively and that eventually gets raped, made the mistake of going there in the first place - and honestly speaking, the dress makes no difference. She placed herself in a situation where she is powerless against potential predators, and thus she will go by the predator's rules - because she is forced to do so. That does not mean we should not change this. We should do everything in our power to protect women, and make sure there ARE no such places dangerous for women. Until that happens, to avoid the danger wherever it is is better than rightfully punishing the criminals after the crime happens.

That is not a sexist matter, that goes for countless situations in this world. Women and men alike, or whole other groups are powerless against other people, depending on the situation, and it IS wise to avoid the danger, until we fight to eradicate this powerlessness on each occasion. You can go on despite the dangers to make a statement or in order to contribute to eradicate them, but you know what you are getting into.

What happened? Stevens had some kind of hate club? Why?
I'm not sure specifically what you're responding to, but as far as I'm aware Sweden is the only country in the world where there's a specialized authority dealing with this exact kind of situation - rather than letting politicians call the shots based on gut feelings or public opinions. This is the opposite of luck. This authority has the job of distilling scientific evidence into course of action for the greater good of the people - regardless of what the ruling party believes. Look at the second or third wave of outbreaks throughout europe due to politicians calling the shots rather than scientists. Calling this luck is such a foul move and so far removed from the truth that it's quite upsetting.

Look over the US bills for 2020. The only ones passing both Democrat House and Republican Senate are either coronavirus or China. The level of concern is so big that the Democrats basically did a rather public 180 on China during an important election year.

As far as the company, the President seems fully allowed to place restrictions on companies as foreign policy. If you're talking about the "American" part, it is owned by foreign entities, so the case still seems pretty good. Chinese spying on US citizens on US soil is definitely a foreign policy issue.

Obama's administration was known to walk up to companies with a rubber-stamped order to do whatever (usually spying on US citizens) and the place a gag order on the company so they couldn't even tell their users what was happening to them. If that was never challenged, I doubt this would be as preventing spying is certainly more moral than doing the spying.

A year long project to install a mini split? Wow.

Split systems are the norm on my continent, and most can be installed in well under a day. Many installers can do multiple per day into existing dwellings, code compliant, filled, sealed, and on a proper circuit. Units/Apartments are likely to take longer.

I'm all for killing capitalism, but that doesn't magically solve the inheritance problem. If they would put it all in trusts, then make laws to prohibit that. You need to close all the loopholes of inherited wealth, which goes far beyond trusts as well.
I wish it was just code to have mini splits installed in every apartment. They're straight better than other options at both heating and cooling, and very affordable these days.

I like to play around with trying new languages a lot. I've probably read a book on and written a little code in ~20 languages in the past decade, although 90% of my work is in Python. I didn't start playing with TCL until roughly a year ago and have been really impressed with what I've seen so far. Ashok Nadkarni's book is amazing and a lot of things seem pretty straightforward.
Unreal no longer supports the web as a publishing target. They've marked that feature as deprecated. Unity still does, however, from what I've heard it's not a great platform to use for the web. Godot's wasm compile target is very new, I'm looking forward to seeing what comes from it.
That’s technically true but in the least useful way in practice.

The wiper switch on the left stalk has 2 behaviors: if you tap the button, the wiper swings a single time. If you hold the button, the wiper and wiper fluid activate for a handful of sweeps.

The analog stalk doesn’t offer any other wiper controls, like the ability to modify wiper speed or enable/disable continuous wiper functionality.

I’m not sure why the article includes that line without clarifying the specific nature of that interface.
The hardest part of programming is finding workarounds for undocumented bugs. And I don't mean the kinds of details people have to be told on stackoverflow after refusing to read the manual. I mean genuinely showstopping bugs with nonobvious workarounds like HTML5 audio didn't fire the ended event in Safari until iOS 13.4. There's a guy who complained about it on his blog for eight years until Apple allegedly fixed it. And I say allegedly because I consider the fix to be broken and I still use a workaround which I had to discover for myself through original research.

The only part of programming which is easy is copying example code from the documentation. Once you build a nontrivial project that solves a real problem you're already working beyond the trivial. Real work gets real challenging real fast. If you're staying within the percentage of programming that's still easy then you're just doing copypasta and not really programming.

> Clearly if the driver was watching YouTube on the touchscreen, the fact that it also shows their speed wouldn’t have been relevant.

Watching YouTube (or Netflix or any of the other supported streaming services) on the touchscreen while the car is in motion, is not currently possible in Tesla vehicles. This is by design. Eventually, when fully autonomous driving is supported, watching videos on the touchscreen while the vehicle is in motion might be allowed.

No they don't. Nobody ever applauds this. People buy Teslas despite the touchscreen being the only way to do certain things, not because of it.

It's also interesting to consider how standardization can similarly maintain an industry dominated by larger players, trying to establish their moat through regulatory capture.

Sort of a duality to how lack of standards propels innovation in the nascent days of a technological field.

Not saying there shouldn't standards in general; simply that we should be cognizant of market forces using standardization efforts as offensive tactics.
The pet rock was a fad.

Online companies, like brick and mortar companies, rise and fall. And even if Facebook's best days are behind it, I'm not sure we can call a business that grew for nearly 15 years and is now used by billions of people a "fad." Regardless, it generated unfathomable wealth for its founders, and made thousands of employees financially set for life.

If TikTok could capture that, it doesn't matter if it lasts five years or ten years, the people at the top will become very, very rich.

So I think both commenters above are correct: it has huge potential upside that investors are willing to gamble on, and it probably won't become the next Facebook so it might be worth it for the current owners to cash out now.
The first part of your comment reads like a talking point a meeting hopping noncoding archetect would use.

Simple repeatable solutions are better and more maintainable than constantly abstracting things to a higher level. I write systems and code with operations and developer ease in mind, not some academic idea of abstraction.
