There's one multi-player mobile game i play somewhat regularly. It's full of so much nonsense that can only be described as gambling. This is putting aside the direct skin purchases that range from $5-$20 that have no effect other than to change in game appearance. The gambling though.

Regular events, most of which which are draws, with skins as prizes, where the odds of winning, as stated in game, are at times lower than 1%. These draws will tend to give the first few free or winnable through in game tasks, but inevitably end up costing actual money if you actually want even the slightest chance of winning.

The costs for this to actually win a prize i imagine could easily end up being pretty significant.

It's constant though, every day, every week, every month. New draws and prizes for people to buy with rewards that are essentially completely pointless.

It's a free game, so i'm pretty sure this is where the majority of the games profits come from and it seems like an extremely profitable game.

It all does seem to be things that would be primarily appealing to kids though. Things to make the characters look cool and let you brag. Then again, there's plenty of adults susceptible to that kind of thing.
If you have any idea what you're doing in terms of investing in any faint sense of traditionally formal rigor, you'd not touch Tesla with a tent pole no matter what you "believe" it's growth potential is. It's orders of magnitude away from any sensible by the books calculation on what Tesla's valuation should be.

Just concede that you invested because you felt like it. It's probably okay, you very well might end up making a ton, and honestly who's to say the traditional methods are correct or are even applicable in 2020? But let's not kid ourselves trying to justify Tesla's value using traditional metrics.
That might be your problem.

Consider defining bicycles as pedestrians. Suddenly, we have bicycle paths everywhere, from which cars are prohibited. Bicycle usage becomes much more reasonable for the unathletic.

Where did we ever get the idea that we're not supposed to ride on the sidewalk? Kids do it all the time. Parents don't let kids ride in the street. Are kids getting arrested for that crime?

Compare mass. A typical bicycle weighs 18 pounds, adding just 10% to a human. The car is at least a factor of 10 more, and trucks are a factor of 400 more.

Compare speed. A typical human runs at 10 MPH. The average speed in bike lanes is 11 to 12 MPH. Hey, that's almost the same! Cars obviously go far faster, often 70 MPH but rarely below 25 MPH.

Compare energy. We can calculate it in junk units if we take any measure of speed, square it, and multiply by mass. That gives us a runner at 18400 units, a bicyclist at 26714 units, and a driver at 4900000 to 392000000 units. Even at the low end, with a small slow car, the driver has about 200 times the energy of the bicyclist. The bicyclist has only 50% more than the runner.

So, by the numbers, it is really clear that bicycles should be considered pedestrians. The kind of people who join bicycling organizations and lobby for bicycling laws might disagree, but they are a tiny sliver of the potential bicycle-using population.
Xoogler here who left a few months ago. The policy totally still very much exists, although isn't "advertised" as much per say. Like, I think maybe 25% of googlers use 20% time and most are driving their own projects rather than working on some larger project they were pitched on.

One of the biggest positives of 20% time was just blocking off every Wednesday - no meetings, minimal distractions, etc - for my 20% work. It was pretty refreshing and kept me at the company for probably 8 months longer than I would have without the 20% time. The other great thing is that I was able to push a project I believed in but that everyone was afraid to fund. I had ownership of something I cared about. It was something that helped out dozens of teams, helped me shape the direction of the team, and heavily pad out my perf packet.

In general, folks are very protective of 20% time. My director didn't want to fund the additional maintenance cost of the project, but was respectful of the fact that it was 20% time. My manager and tech lead were in a similar boats.

Although not a professional programmer, I do agree with what you said. But the whole scheme also includes execution on other fronts (e.g. how did they plant the payload).
Not necessarily removing, but making them more rare. A modern woman may have one or two children, but for going above the replacement rate, a number of them should have at least three. This quickly becomes a full-time job.

As someone who is from the US but lives in a poor country, it's hard to imagine what it would be like to take the already dire situations of place like this and then add in 2-3x the drug trafficking violence compared to the US.

Legalizing most recreational drugs around the world is absolutely imperative! If it is not done sooner than later then the largest drug trafficking organizations will be so entrenched that it may become impossible.

Many lives would be saved if these drugs could be purchased in consistent doses with standardized labeling and packaging.

Drivers are in control of potentially deadly machines. When I got my driver's license I was taught to always be prepared to stop in case somebody does something stupid. I think defaulting to having the driver at fault is reasonable. If they have proof they couldn't possibly stop, they are free to take the case to court.
But being a "premium" or lifestyle brand is a lot less useful if you're competing in the insurance or utility markets.
> All of the big and reputable brands are doing the same thing so its almost impossible to find the well built stuff unless you are looking at something trivial like a shoe or non power tool where a basic observation will tell you its build quality.

Or unless you consult independent consumer research material that does more work than basic observation to quantify quality differences. (The entire value proposition of, for instance, Consumer Reports, which indicates that this isn't a new problem, given how long they've been around with the sole selling point being solving it.)
The transactions were initially thought to be fraud or a mistake by Johnson, who found it hard "almost impossible" to figure out they stemmed from in-app purchases due to how they were bundled. After filing a fraud claim with Chase, she was then informed the charges were genuine, and to contact Apple.

Once she contacted Apple and was talked through a "buried running list of all the charges" and seeing the Sonic icon, she realized it was her son's fault...

Apple refused to refund her money, as she didn't call within 60 days of the charges, which Johnson said was because Chase told her it was likely to be fraud in the first place. Apple Support was also apparently cold to Johnson admitting she wouldn't have been able to make a mortgage payment, telling her "There's a setting, you should have known," the mother claimed.

> Stop letting people get behind the wheel after drinking. Solve that problem.

The solution to this problem seems quite trivial to me: to equip all cars with alcohol (and, perhaps, some drug) sensors [not breathalyzers, but rather some more sophisticated remote-sensing devices], strategically located throughout interior to prevent cheating / gaming the system, and integrate them with ignition and engine. As long as the system determines that a driver is drunk or under influence of drugs, it prevents the car from starting or (in case someone starting drinking or using drugs after stopping a car, but leaving it idling) moving.

> I think once CAN bus started becoming ubiquitous beyond OBD-II compliance [...]

OBD has always been a small subset of what's happening on the CAN bus, or rather busses, nowadays. Some of the vendor specific things are necessarily unique, but a lot of it is deliberately obfuscated and undocumented because of various idiotic things.

There is truth to the electronic systems in a car having become orders of magnitude more complex than 20 years ago, but that in itself doesn't quite cover it.

Some problems arise without actual malicious intent because every itty bitty control module, of which there are nowadays several dozen in every car, is very likely outsourced by the OEMs, and the suppliers are as bad at following specs as the OEMs are at writing them. As market pressures have resulted in OEMs and suppliers having more adversarial relationships, both sides have become less willing to fix the other side's mistakes, and the customer is the one who takes the bath for it. The only ones winning in the automotive industry's OEM-supplier setup are wall-street, as they encourage the race to the bottom just to squeeze all possible short-term value out of the industry (and often taxpayer money) through an endless cycle of bankruptcies, spin-offs, and mergers.

Another problem is an acute lack of competency regarding computer systems design and implementations, as many OEMs are still stuck in processes meant for mechanical components, not electronics and software.

Even subtracting all the above idiocy, the industry as a whole sees no money in providing a servicable automobile. Unless the incentive changes because of consumer behaviour or regulation, nobody's going to put in the extra engineering work to improve the mechanic's "interface" as long as there's simply no profit in it.
It is completely possible to drive conservatively and with caution, while exceeding an arbitrary limit. Here's one for you, a 3-lane highway adjacent to a shopping centre and school. The 60km/h speed limit is too high during shopping & school hours, but stupidly low at 3am on a clear night with no traffic around. My opinion of a safe speed is very different for those 2 circumstances - I don't see how that equates to bad judgement.
Former dealer technician here, the Haynes books give most DIYers just enough rope to hang themselves. The wiring diagrams are never complete and a lot of info is missing outright. I guess it's good enough for a casual person looking to maintain their own vehicle, but it is far from comprehensive. It was always a red flag when I would spot a Haynes book in a car I pulled. Sure to be a cleanup job after someone got in too deep. Haynes' choice to stop printing books is just another example of the shift away from printed materials. In the automotive industry, information aggregators like Alldata, Motor, Mitchell stopped doing printed service manuals many years ago. They even discontinued DVD service manuals. (Finally)
Pretty good definition. I don't know if it deserves the hate it gets. I've heard politics described as, relationships. And the more I think of it that way, the more acceptable, and even positive, it seems.

Would you rather do things because your boss exercises role power (I'm your boss and you must do what I say), or because you like, respect, and trust your boss (relationship power)?
Agreed. When I got my bike for the first few weeks I would ride on the sidewalk. Until my wife pointed out that in our residential neighborhood, anybody could back out of their driveway and hit me and it would be my fault as I would be in their blind spot.
Since then I bike on the road.

Many of these companies have been making cars for generations.

Toyota for example is set to introduce prototypes with solid state batteries in 2021.

Most consumers will opt for their familiar and reliable Camry that happens to run on batteries.

Tesla will need something new to entice consumers. But, I just don't see much more innovation outside battery tech happening.
Guake is a nice approach too: a drop down terminal that puts your current line in the middle, at normal eye height. Configurable of course
> My car is governed at 110 mph. Why?

Most likely due to some physical (not legal) issue that would make it mechanically unsafe to operate the vehicle above that speed even in an otherwise appropriate location. (Or perhaps it's due to some obscure state law, or the manufacturer is just out to spoil your fun, or ... who knows?)

More generally, I agree with the point you make here about the responsibility to configure things correctly. However, it seems to me that Microsoft is also on the hook for failing to include the necessary context when an MFA request is sent. It's a bit like selling a car with seat belts that superficially appear to work but fail at the slightest provocation, no?

They should be legal everywhere, but legalizing in the US will have the most impact.
That’s a really narrow view. Solar winds Orion is a widely used, popular tool for managing switches and routers and backing up network device configuration. It’s been compromised for months.

This could be a stuxnet type attack looking for a particular facility, or something far worse at a time when the US is most vulnerable.
That was my point. Magically compelling even though not much happens there.

I haven't seen Richard Burton's movie, but the book 'The Spy Who Came In From The Cold' was engaging.
Software engineers are super good at estimating time-cost before the fact, right? (Disclaimer, I am terrible at it)
The fact that blabrecs isn't an allowed non-word is disappointing.
Wait. According to that article, the last major mask manufacturer in US offered to increase production and was turned down by government.

> "In the end, the government did not take Bowen up on his offer. Even today[May 9, 2020], production lines that could be making more than 7 million masks a month sit dormant."

That article was published in May 9. Even on May 9, the production lines were dormant. How could this happen? It is unfathomable. The country probably had masks shortage since March. It is so hard to believe some of the things that happened this year.
I honestly can't tell whether this comment is a joke or not. If so, it's not a great one.
I've religiously bought manuals for all of my cars. The first was a thick Chilton's manual for a 1975 van. It included several brands of vehicles, and both light and heavy trucks. Of course I could not but read the whole thing.

It had instructions such as: "This section assumes that the cylinder head is on a clean, dry surface." And: "Before removing the engine, build an engine hoist such as described on page..."

There was also a comment about what to do upon diagnosing a twisted driveshaft on a heavy truck: "Have a conversation with the driver about their driving habits."

I felt that the Haynes manuals had just enough stuff to be useful, without going overboard. But nowadays, web forums and YouTube are great.
I understand how the reviews get faked but not why Amazon and the seller get away with flat out lying. The product is clearly not made of stainless steel so its basically fraud to keep selling it knowing its a lie. Obviously something is going wrong with consumer protection laws where a company is getting away with large scale lying about products.
>Which seems pretty accurate.

Exactly. Which is why it was a good analogy WRT the lack of security baked into the design of most software.

I've met your site via your comment on HN about a year ago, on the topic about organizing...something...that I can't remember now.

The idea intrigue me! It's not often you see kind of thing that seems mundane(to general interwebz population) like a system to organizing files and folder. There is some method floating around, but they either too basic or too complex for my need.

That said, back then I give Johnny Decimal a try a bit, but works took toll on me and I eventually give in to my old way of filing things. Maybe it's time to revisited. :)

You seem to be attributing to an attempt at vendor lock-in what can be more easily attributed to the fact that these other "standards" were not common at all when Tesla started building their supercharger network, and once you have inertia it can be hard to stop.

It's like people complaining that Apple doesn't use USB-C in their phones, forgetting that when Apple made the switch to Lightning, USB-C didn't exist.
That’s awful but it happened to one of my family members. She no longer consent to US police car searches even though she’s never in contact or possession of drugs simply because she doesn’t want her car to embarrassingly get ripped apart by police again (unreimbursed).

I have a script to change the brightness of my external monitor using ddcutil. It worked until I installed a usb-c thunderbolt dock. Signal didn't seem to make it through. This must be the same bug.

To work around it I have to use a second hdmi cable directly connected. It defeats the purpose of having the single dock cable that I was hoping for when I bought it. :-/

Good news though. Maybe when 21.04 (Hirsute Hippo :) comes out I can finally get rid of the second cable.
Many of the people that originally saw Bitcoin as a payment processor (as digital cash) moved on to Bitcoin Cash.

The scalability issues were evident from the beginning. The idea of running Visa scale transactions on a shared ledger were debated back in 2010. Anyone paying attention knew the main chain would, at best, be a large scale settlement layer. Other layers would be needed for day to day transactions.

Not as interested in this, as its a moot point. Corporations that make things have my worst incentives as their goals, so if they found out, they might learn to make it even worse for me. God forbid the health care industry find out (I'm sure they have and we'll find out the effects decades down the road, similar to cigarettes).
