Clearly it was defective, neither ejection seat apparently fired. :-)

That is kind of a scary story, I would love to see a post mortem but that doesn't seem to be a Tesla thing.
If nothing else: safety. Research shows that even using Siri or Google assistant is worse than driving at the legal alcohol limit. Using a touchscreen should (and will become) illegal. In a Tesla you can't do shit without using the touchscreen. A safety and UX disaster.

Ask HN: What software has gotten better?
I was talking with some nontechnical friends who said that updates only make software worse in their experience, and they try to avoid them where possible.

I struggled to name a single piece of non-technical software that has significantly improved in terms of user experience. I've seen better programs replace worse ones (e.g. Discord replacing Skype), but it seems like the general trend is for good software to be ruined, rather than good software becoming better.

Is there anything relatively popular I can point to that bucks this trend?
In this case it's a civil lawsuit, and the Twitter user isn't being charged with anything.
> We are not talking about a mere feeling down here.

Down where? Go to the apps website and find the term "clinical depression", then come back and tell me what we're talking about down here. It most certainly not back there... which is my whole point. Whats the world coming to if someone cannot create an app to help ease negative emotions without being harassed by gatekeepers and rent seekers?
Say what you want to say. No need to devolve comment threads to links on YouTube.

by hard things, you refer to non-software; thinking writing software isn't hard :thinking
Is using the word optics for other things than projecting light with glass a new thing? I do not recall seeing this word used for other purposes much say 10-15 years ago. Not a native English speaker but have read English for at least 30 years.
A non tech person could say the same about having an "app" at all.
This seems irrelevant. The Twitter user isn't charged with anything.

Can confirm. I studied grammar through Anki deck of about 2000 sentences and a tonne of native content. It took my about a year to truly internalize に to the point it became second nature and I could understand it intuitively.

Passed JLPT1 after a couple of years, and had the time of my life learning Japanese. Particles are the glue that holds it all together but they are deceptively simple on the surface with an ocean of complexity lying underneath.
Why are we assuming he’s out of the woods and “cured”? All of the medical experts seem to indicate that 7-10 days is when the real complications begin. The earliest we know him to be infected is Wednesday of last week. He’s just coming up on the 7 day threshold.

Let’s at least wait through the weekend before we declare him “cured”.
Because your beliefs directly challenge those who believe everyone must wear a mask, and everyone be locked down. No one can stand to be challenged anymore, and they react very negatively.

Unfortunately it's not quite so neat.

In the United States, the FDA considers personal anecdata forbidden when it comes to the sale and marketing of dietary supplements -- for example, statements such as "This product cured/helped/relieved/improved/fixed my/my aunt's/someone's diabetes" (on a product label, website, or even verbally by a salesperson or retail clerk in a store) are strictly forbidden as they may be construed to be medical advice

This is covered by the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994. I don't know if DSHEA covers websites/apps/digital products -- probably not -- but I would be very surprised if there wasn't similar legislation covering websites, apps, and digital products

Note that DSHEA does prescribe language for safely discussing the effects of non-drug therapies. It's called structure-function language -- OP should definitely read up on it (better: talk to a lawyer versed in these matters, and note that I am not a lawyer, none of the above is intended as legal advice)

I... honestly can't make heads or tails of this sentence
A lot of deep groundwater (associated with gas, oil) is both salty, and gassy. If this technique is about converting mine waste to semi-potable for use in agriculture, or mining, and also uses the CO2 on-hand, and salt on-hand, its a virtuous industrial circle.

I'd hate it since it would be monetizing part of the mining industry I don't like, but it makes economic sense in the narrow. If diamine is bad, and gets into the food chain this wreaks longterm harm. If the liberated salt is bad, likewise.

I tend to "stop the mining" but understanding the pressure of water issues on mining and farming, there may be huge upsides here.
I also googled it and found multiple different results with numbers more like 100 times (which is quite easy to achieve in practice). I didn’t immediately find any results in the thousands, but isn’t looking for the highest number going to produce the statistically least likely outlier?

I think fixating on number of reuses to meet equal carbon footprint is fraught with problems and painting an incomplete picture though, this doesn’t really account for things like plastic production & waste toxicity, or the fact that plastic is non-renewable while cotton is renewable.

As an iOS engineer, I'm a bit biased, but I'd still say it's currently not practical to learn it if you're not doing Apple development.

That said, I love the language, and it's a big part of what motivates me to continue being an iOS engineer (I'm not sure I'd still be at if we had kept on with Objective-C).

I would love to see server-side Swift take off, but the ecosystem is still fairly new, so any large project would require you to roll your own solutions more often that you would need to in other languages. I was also excited to see https://www.tensorflow.org/swift — Swift being used for ML. Swift is working on support for differential programming, which is a cool development in the space. More info here: https://github.com/apple/swift/blob/main/docs/Differentiable...

Perhaps eventually there will be enough applications outside of the Apple ecosystem to reach a critical mass.

I've actually switched off caffeine in a big way since the pandemic started - I have a chance to sleep in later in the morning and get some activity before needing to get straight into work - additionally I can take a break mid-day to walk and clear my head or even shift some hours around and take a quick nap if I need it.

A nice upside to remoting.

> I went to the doctor, told him I was feeling mild flu symptoms for a couple of months, he asked me a few questions, determined that I had depression, gave my some SSRIs, and sent me home.

That seems like a pretty normal experience to me. Slightly confused and have a hard time with the definitions keeping the social stigma aside!. Would be great to gather some perspective from HN.

What is depression? How does it compare to stress, or anxiety in itself due to unfulfilled needs of hardwork, rewards, ambition, wants and desires?

And ... How is diagnosed? And how medical help is useful? :-) (I know I perhaps need to RTFM)
Maybe? Depends.

But it is laughably far from the “best car [I] have ever driven" - which was the quote I was responding to, and which is the basis for the parents’ argument.

Ask HN: How many operations happen when I open Facebook?
From a conversation with a friend; how many operations happen when I open Facebook on my phone?

From battery management, to process scheduling, permissions, object instantiation, logging, authentication, requests, responses, rendering, and so on.

From the time I click the Facebook icon to the time the app is loaded and responsive, did a hundred things happen? A thousand? A million, or more?

It is a bit of a challenge to even range this question- you would reasonably consider individual processor instruction- but there are hardware behaviors, many for each instruction, to consider too. Perhaps processor instructions would be a fine place to start.
The linked blog post doesn't mention anything about modelling the scarcity of land, so I'm a little skeptical about the results. In the modern world, one of the most biggest inequalities and barriers to efficiency is access to land, so not modelling that is a big oversight.

It looks like they also only considered income taxes, and ignored all other taxes (such as resources extraction taxes and land taxes), which is also a big oversight.

> However, finding a tax policy that optimizes equality along with productivity is an unsolved problem.

"A land value tax is generally favored by economists as (unlike other taxes) it does not cause economic inefficiency, and it tends to reduce inequality.

Land value tax has been referred to as "the perfect tax" and the economic efficiency of a land value tax has been known since the eighteenth century.", from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Land_value_tax

It's always fun in Japanese when people flip conjugations by tacking nakunai on the end like you make a statement "akakunai" "it's not red" and they, disagreeing with you in disbelief, fire back "akakunakunai?" Like "it ain't not red!" but it's phrased as a question intonation-wise.

You sound foolish and pompous. And you speak from an arrogance that medicine is a definitive solution to depression and depression-like problems.

But that's not necessarily true. Maybe it helped you. It certainly doesn't help all others. It partially helped me. But eventually a bunch of other cognitive practices (none of which are 'approved by medical studies') became a much better cocktail of long-term solutions.

This app appears to be just another tool that adults can use to find the custom solution that works for them. I don't see anywhere that he's recommending stop taking SSRIs and use his app exclusively. He's explaining his own journey.

Assume there are seven billion people on the planet. One of them knows the location of a specific hidden treasure. I know who it is and I ask you to guess who it is, but you have no possible way of knowing or even getting a hint about it.

You pick some random person. I then bring in another stranger and tell you that the person who knows where the hidden treasure is is either the random person you chose or the one I brought in.

At this point, there are only two possibilities:

1. You happened to randomly choose the right person on Earth and in my surprise, I had to pick some other random stranger to pretend they knew the secret.

2. You chose a total rando who has no idea what's going on and the person I brought in is in fact the one who knows where the treasure is

Your comment deserves an honest reply. If someone hurts themselves because of something that I've said or done, and there is a chance it might, I will hurt, I will mourn and I will do time if it comes to that. But the risk of this won't stop me from looking for better answers to these problems because the answers we have right now aren't good enough. And if a thousand people avoid harming themselves because of this approach and one still does, is that a failure?
