So pretty much all measures or indexes are inaccurate in that light. The reason I like it is that it takes a product that’s priced proportionally to local labour and commodities, is globally recognisable and serves as an easy frame of reference.

For products and services that have near zero marginal costs. Saying something is worth 2 cups of coffee, for instance, is useful but our coffee prices might differ by an order of magnitude. But McD is always a middle class lunch wherever they run.

The other alternative I can think of is Coca Cola. That would also be an interesting index.
Those are the same states so I'm not sure what you mean.

The point is that there is no reason to select out any particular basis over another. You can't just retreat into "well this is the only basis I can experience" because the human sensory apparatus would be able to select out a range of bases in a full unitary account and also the ambiguity of basis decomposition means you can't perform conditioning which we do all the time in experiments.
On the one hand I'm glad they're deciding to give work to Chinese locals, they could have picked a better place though.
We have deposit libraries in the U.K., such as The British library and Oxford University's Bodleian. When you publish a book in the U.K. you are supposed to offer a copy to these institutions.

If we had legal deposit web archiving institutions, then academics, and others, could create an archive snapshot of some resource and then reference the URI to that (either with or without the original URI), so as to ensure permanence.
His actions don't even fall under US jurisdiction. It's a farce, as is the potential punishment with which they threaten him. They (secretely) charged a non-US citizen who acted outside the US for alleged acts of espionage he committed outside the US, and now want to put him into solitary confinement and get him condemned by a some kangaroo court to 175 years in prison. All of that after having illegally spied on him and his lawyer within the embassy of another sovereign nation to find better angles to indict him.

It's ridiculous that UK courts haven't dismissed this case right from the start.
Hard to know how much is ad fraud and how much is people just not being interested in what is being advertised.

Same as this quote:

No, if the only option you give me is "Request Demo" but all I want is more info then I'll click "Request Demo." Then when I don't get more info or info that I like I'll bail.

edit: Also at only 11 clicks, the metrics are pure noise. Sure they each cost $45 but it's still only 11 clicks. Can't even blame the CPC estimation for being off at such a low number.

And to some extent, rightly so. The mod in the featured article has a mode that disables traction control. I would not want to be responsible for the outcomes if that has bugs in it.

However, as they are the primary supplier of parts and service, they can probably make your ownership experience fairly miserable. They might also be able to revoke access to new updates, to the supercharger network, or other Tesla-provided features that aren't protected by the Magnuson-Moss Act. (Even if they just did it for a while until the case was heard, it could be annoying.) Look at how dismally they treat 3rd-party rebuilders of crashed/flood Teslas.

If you want to heavily modify a car, there are many other more platforms that I'd think are more suitable than a Tesla in terms of long-term supportability. (Not a Tesla hater by any means[0], but I think of them as close to the Apple of cars. You're paying a premium to play in their walled garden area and if you want to break out of their garden, they don't make it easy/attractive to do so.)

Maybe slightly off-topic but in general, do people buy random electronics over the internet and connect it to their car? Feels like a overly easy way of hacking a massive amount of cars, by simply having them buy a thing you connect to your already IoT-ified car, and allow anyone to read and control your car.

Seems like the detection feature from Tesla is meant to provide this, rather than preventing 3rd party mods. As I would never connect anything to my cars IT systems, I would happily receive a warning if the car did detect something like that.

I mean, your logic is sound, but that's not how car warranties work in EU or the US for that matter. Car manufacturers can only void warranty on parts directly affected by your modification, and they actually have to prove that the part broke because of the modification, it just being present is not enough to void the warranty.

I know of a case where the engine on a new Audi RS6 died, and Audi refused the warranty claim because a custom exhaust has been fitted, claiming that it affected the operation of the engine and destroyed it. The case went to court and Audi was unable to prove how a custom exhaust could cause the crankshaft to snap in the middle - and the court ordered them to pay for repair.

There's loads of nonsense around this, with dealership frequently telling customers that if they fit their own parts they lose the entire warranty - nope, that's just not the case at all. Using your own oil, filters, brake pads and other consumable items does not void your warranty as long as they are "equivalent" items. I even heard a dealership tell a customer once that fitting tyres without manufacturer approval(MO in this case) would void the warranty - I told them that if that's the case, why is their own parts department selling entire sets of them as "original Mercedes accessories" then. The truth is it's bullshit, that's just not how warranties work.
But it would be low-hanging fruit.
I don't think we do define existence that way. Say you and your friend both go to opposite ends of the visible universe; due to inflation you'll never be able to communicate again.

I suspect most people would say their friend continues to exist. This is very analogous to the many worlds situation.

On a similar note, if you're not shy / don't have the funds you can stream yourself learning a language on Twitch and be inundated with people telling you what you should do every time you get stuck. [This guy](https://youtu.be/IwbHcXsCWd0?t=5754) comes to mind. Every time he streams, a virtual army of advisors shows up to tell him what to do (to the point that he frequently has to tell them sorry, I really need to figure this out myself before I look at your solutions).
I advertised on LI about a year ago. I had reasonable success (in terms of new leads/signups). Here is what I remember from the experience.

I found that the interface for managing ads was terribly buggy and shouldn't even be considered production ready. One bug that I remember is that it wasn't possible to remove ads, and the button to suspend an add didn't work most of the time.

In typical LI fashion the interface was full of dark patterns, it was really tricky to limit the expenses. In the blink of an eye you could be spending hundreds of USD per day.

Analytics were somewhat available, but basically useless. For no reason the CPC could jump to dollars per click, and no way to discover why.

Advertising, especially for a tech SaaS, is hard. The tools available are usually terrible to use, expensive and often shady. In my experience, doing advertisements is one of the worst parts of starting a new service.

You have a strange idea of "proof". The fact that something happened in Sweden once is hardly proof that it could not happen in the UK. By the way, you might want to look at the "aftermath" section of that Wikipedia article.

It's far from clear to me that the US wants to avoid a public trial. It's not as if Assange is particularly popular these days.

This probably implies they paid for permits and fees as well, which would make them direct supporters of the system. If this was a sanctioned country it would be a clear cut issue, but as long as the US can’t / refuses to impose sanctions there’s only consumer pressure.

I was thinking at exactly this idea for over 2 years.

I even started with Python & OpenCV for basic background extraction, and as I expected, the edges for the players are imperfect. But still, the result is very very promising. I'm so glad someone did it.

Why I was thinking at it is because the end goal would be to apply frame matching & transitioning to football. Tennis is the easier task, the camera angle is almost fixed.

But from this result, to football, we aren't far. Even an approach based on AI + some human intervention would suffice.

> All they are doing is voiding the warranty, so you're not exactly "leasing" the car.

That's all that's described in this article. This is not an isolated article. You can see articles about:

* Tesla stripping features from cars when people resell them

* Articles from small repair shops, unable to work on Tesla vehicles because of locked-down software

* Articles about Tesla's surveillance on car owners

* Deactivating vehicles it doesn't think should be driven (e.g. ones from serious accidents)

* Forcing updates

And so on. With Tesla, you clearly don't fully own your car.
I totally agree.

I guess the answer is "don't mess with your old site", but that's also impractical.

And I'm sorry, but if it's my site, then it's my site. I reserve the right to mess about with it endlessly. Including taking down a post for whatever reason I like.

I'm sorry if that conflicts with someone else's need for everything to stay the same but it's my site.

Also, if you're linking to my article, and I decide to remove said article, then surely that's my right? It's my article. Your right to not have a dead link doesn't supercede my right to withdraw a previous publication, surely?

> Can someone ELI5 what would be the use case for having data represented in Base32H?

Well, the main thing I wanted to do (that motivated me to come up with Base32H, instead of using a different base-32 system) was be able to use English words as numbers (and likewise, turn numbers into English words). This is hard to do with hex because you (usually) only have 6 letters, but pretty easy to do with Base32H because every letter can be a digit.

It might seem silly at first glance, but it can be pretty handy for things like adding prefixes to a number. For example, for asset tagging (the use case that first motivated Base32H), figuring out whether or not a given asset is a desktop PC, you could use 8 digits in total: 4 for the prefix "DTPC" (for DeskTop PC) and 4 for the actual identifier. Since DTPC-0000 in Base32H is 475378221056 in decimal, and DTPC-ZZZZ is 475379269631, you can immediately know that anything between those numbers (inclusively) is a desktop PC, and anything outside that range is something else. Same deal with, say laptop PCs (LTPC) being in the range of LTPC-0000 (715896389632) through LTPC-ZZZZ (715897438207), or keyboards (KBRD) being in the range of KBRD-0000 (665498681344) through KBRD-ZZZZ (665499729919).

And yes, you could (and should!) absolutely do this as part of a database schema, too (for example, by having an "asset_type" column in whatever table's storing asset tags), but the advantage of this is that anyone and anything encountering one of these asset IDs "in the wild" can figure out the type without needing to access the database at all.
It's kind of a dead-end if you ask me.
