> Is it just me, or does this level of data collection seem pretty concerning for an ISP? I'm aware that there are legal requirements for this type of data collection for law enforcement use, but sharing it with customers seems strange.

ISP's have been been doing this for eons, not just for law enforcement, but for marketing as well.

To be honest, I think it's refreshing that they are willing to share the data they have about the customer with the customer. I think if more providers did that it would be eye opening to end users what's going on behind the scenes.

I think you could contort logic to make any creation "bad" for some subset of people.

Is any videogame a bad thing to make? What about movies that arguably can inspire mass shooters or other negative events to occur.

Can the creators of smash brothers or dota not be proud either? Those games fuck some small subset of people up too. I played smash brothers for thousands of hours myself.
ID.3 is already seen around every street corner here, and the ID.4 has just been released and I already saw 4...

Tesla (in the Netherlands) doesnt have the tax incentives anymore because its too expensive, the ID.3 still has that cause its cheaper... So lease car owners choose ID.3 because money.
Telegram uses the Signal protocol? How do you propose Telegram give their users the ability to expose their location to other people without exposing their location to them?
Ugh. You'd probably end up with a square tuit with its corners sanded off.
I used the "sane" qualifier for a reason. Development like that is insane and moronic. It's unsustainable in the long term, and is not a counterargument to the idea of REPL-Driven Programming. REPL-Driven Programming does not preclude sanity and replicability and source files.

Ask HN: How should I test all potential combinations of user actions?
For complex software, there are infinite combinations of actions that the user can do in a certain order. What are the leading approaches to testing that any of those actions don't break the software?

My initial idea is to come up with a set of all user actions or inputs that are available and then simulate those events happening in various orders to see if things happen as intended or break.

Would welcome any thoughts or experience doing this.

ICE vehicles have very little headroom for "environmental growth" whereas electric seems to have very high levels of headroom. Batteries from more common elements, better recycling, more renewable energy to charge them. As much as I love big trucks, there is no "zero carbon diesel".

So it isn't pretending, they really are a lot better for the planet in the mid-term and forward.

You can still use the bus lanes in Oslo and in teh rest of Norway. :) I live here, but it also says on Statens Vegvesen site: (in Norwegian): https://www.vegvesen.no/trafikkinformasjon/langs-veien/trafi.... It's nice to avoid traffic jams. :)

I drive occasionally and the first time I drove an electric last year, I barely made it to a charging station an hour outside Oslo and not close to another city. I had to wait a couple of hours before hopping to a fast charger. I treated it like a gas car, but after that, I changed both my attitude and a number of driving habits to get the most of them. I am happy the wide breadth of support across the country is available to maintain charging stations. Just on cost alone, I would prefer electric for rentals.

Yes the amsterdam city center is bike centric. But around it its all cars... Diesel cars are banned in the ring now, and there are TESLA's everywhere (lease car owners). The tax incentives where crazy, you could ride a Tesla for as cheap as 150 euro per month...

But that now has stopped above 40k euro, and its the Volkswagen group that builds electrified cars in the sweet spot.

and driving around two engines. also, equally important, having to produce two engines gives hybrids an extra co2 footprint even before their first km. this way, the total co2 footprint over the entire life cycle of a hybrid car can be just the same as that of the same car with a combustion engine.
Despite occasionally installing several fonts in Windows over the years, I never encountered that. Dragging and dropping font files into the font folder has always worked for me. That's Apple class UX!

Malware uses WiFi BSSID for victim identification
I'm Alex, I'm currently building Infra Works. We make it easy for skilled trade businesses to find, vet, and develop great employees.

Most skilled trade businesses (HVAC, electricians, plumbers) are bad at recruiting and training employees. More than half don't have training programs. 3 out of 4 don't find the internet to be an effective way to find skilled talent. Here is what the hiring/training process at a company I spoke with looks like:

- Post job on craigslist

- Hope candidate has some experience or mechanical aptitude

- Rely on one of their more experienced employees to teach new employees everything while on-the-job

Every business owner I've spoken with has listed difficulty in finding skilled talent as their biggest problem. Our web platform gives businesses access to pre-screened talent and enables them to easily build a world-class, internal training program.

I previously led product/bd at LendEDU (YC W16). I'm a self-taught programmer with a strong background in SEO and sales. I'm looking for a co-founder with a technical background to help me build out our platform and/or a sales/bd/product background to help me develop strategy/GTM. If you have neither, but are interested in solving this problem - I'd love to talk to you as well.

Not OP but one thing I've started sticking to that has helped me a lot is paying attention to my sleep cycles when planning alarms. Sometimes you get enough sleep but wake up feeling shocking, while other times you'll wake up after getting less sleep but feel great. There's probably ways to do this much more accurately but I find if I get 6, 7.5, or 9 hours sleep, I'll feel great, but waking up in between those 90 minute intervals is rough.
What's wrong with the Leaf? Some people just want a car that goes from A to B rather than a to flex on the plebs in a musk-mobile, good as they are.
I started a project during the lockdown in March and eventually want to launch and make it a self-sustaining side project. I recently filed paperwork to form an LLC (my first) in anticipation of launching and perhaps trying my hand at fundraising on Kickstarter or elsewhere.

The project is called Learn with Grok (https://github.com/GrokApp/learn-with-grok) and is a language learning application. Unlike existing applications, Grok is focused on people who have already studied a foreign language for years and are past beginner level content. Learn with Grok is focused on Critical Reading Skills and will tailor short story content to you at your proficiency level after taking a placement test. The more you read and do well on the quiz at the end of the short story, the more difficult content you can work towards to achieve mastery (or Grok!) a new language. You can hear what sentences sound like and see a translation on the spot if you struggle comprehending a sentence. Challenge yourself with a little content everyday.

This project is pre-launch and my first real try at creating a business. I work full-time and work on this nights and weekends while also balancing a machine learning grad program.
The argument here usually is: with a fixed silicon chip, vendor can hide the backdoor in various locations and be it triggered by various events (e.g. a particular sequence of incoming ICMP packets would overwrite the first byte of response with content of some register). With FPGA, the vendor can't really know where a particular register is located, or where incoming packets are processed, as it is highly dependent on the synthesised CPU design and can even be non-deterministic.

This does not mean that there is no way vendor can backdoor the chip you are getting, but it does narrow the possibilities significantly.

> This reads like a letter by someone who keeps all their money in CDs rather than stocks, because they might lose money

If there were a clear delta in expected value, then we'd do it. But you can't compare a speculative change to requirements with asymmetrical costs/rewards in a policy context during a pandemic to CDs vs stocks.

Don't give in to the temptation to be like the business guys who change requirements the day of launch. We have a path to end the pandemic. Let's take it.
How much uncertainty we accept depends a lot on the potential downsides. For example there isn't much of a downside to wearing masks, so that is a measure you could defend on rather flimsy data if you had to.

The potential downside here is very large, it could mean that the vaccine loses a lot of efficacy if the delay to the second dose is too large. It also could create circumstances that favor mutations that escape the vaccine, because you have a lot of people with a weaker vaccination response while the virus is circulating widely.
You can perfectly do plugins on Android, that is how printer drivers work for example.

I have had co-founders on businesses and none of them ever worked out. It might just be me, but I have a hard time being motivated to really go through the hard stuff if I think someone else is a backstop or will do it for me.

My business that I started and built entirely alone is by far and away the most successful one and has made me a multimillionaire.

Whenever anyone asks me, I always recommend people to start a business on their own and just grind it out.

> Some may consider the reliance on search a UI failure

No, it's brilliant, in principle. See: spotlight on Mac OS X.

The problem is that Windows Search just doesn't work. I install apps, it can't find them unless they have a start menu enry. I save documents, it can't find them. It does find plenty of irrelevant websites and spurious results from caches, but it misses files sitting directly in my documents folder. Sometimes it returns a result from a partial name hit but when I accidentally type the next character (correctly!) the hit disappears, and it doesn't come back when I remove the offending correct character. It's a mess.

I used to supplement Windows Search with launchy, but then launchy started bugging out. Now I use keypirinha, which intentionally configures bad defaults to encourage you to learn its config file format. Mega cringe. Once you do, though, it does actually work.
And it will have a reasonable sw support in another couple of years since then. :)
Does anyone else get sarcastic "what's the point?" comments when ordering or serving decaf? How do you deal with it? I would drink coffee during the work week and have nausea headaches at the weekend, once i established the cause and effect here I stopped the coffee habit. What I find tiresome are the macho comments about being a real coffee drinker. Yes, I also love the double-shot whatever, but dependency isn't cool and I don't want to have coffee at the weekend just to avoid headaches.
For those that are at the bottom end of the market and rely on second hand cars this won’t be the case for a long time.

I lease my car and when looking recently it’s not the case for me either, even when factoring in associated costs. It’s an extra 150 quid a month on sticker price for a roughly equivalent car. Take fuel, tax, servicing reductions out and you are still no where near parity
> a rather simple, outdated and largely superseded philosophical notion of what science is

To me the idea of treating the chess game as a random process somehow felt like an anti-realist position [1]. I'm not sure how this kind of thinking is currently perceived by philosophers of science, it's possible it's an outdated view.

I'm working on an app to create custom notebook layouts by drag-and-drop graphical widgets with the option to print on demand the result: https://notebookeditor.com/

I have a lot of ideas on how to improve it and I think there are many use cases, especially for creating custom educational materials. But I haven't found the product market fit until now and I don't have a clear plan on how to monetise it.

The 'front-end' product is 80% done but there is no 'back-end' yet - I'm still thinking if I should do it as saas or a standalone desktop/mobile app.

Not the Author, but I can hazard a few guesses...

Running this in the browser makes for a ridiculously easy setup. You can get up and running very quickly by just giving someone a URL (probably with a pre-unpacked image). Setting up a VM on the other hand, can be daunting if you don't already have the infrastructure setup. This might be a benefit of running this WASM VM vs a local VM.

Second, you get the security benefit of running the code on your local computer as opposed to a remote VM. This may not be a big issue, but for some circumstances, it could be.

Third, by running it locally as opposed to on a remote VM, might be more interactive, in that you don't have the round-trip time client -> server -> client. But this depends on how performant the WASM VM is.

This isn't something you do for performance. The WASM VM seems "fast enough", but this isn't something that will be faster than many cloud-based VMs. For me, the major benefits would be setup/maintenance and security.

Personally find this to be a pretty cool project, but I'm not sure of where I'd use it outside of teaching... but it's quite impressive.

For the scrolling -- I found that once I scrolled to the bottom once, it auto-scrolled. But I was confused when I unpacked Python by this too.
Per mile charging. Your car reports where it goes using a black box rather like what some insurance companies install then you get taxed based on how many miles you travelled.
Since the tweet has been deleted, here are some comparisons I did using actual photos I took. These are from when FS2020 was initially released, so imaging data may have gotten better. FS2020 actually gives you the ability to not only adjust time of day, but data and year so that you can match lighting conditions exactly and I matched the time based on EXIF data.

The VAT discount as discussed in the links apply when a company acquires an electric bike for company use. It does not as far as I know apply to private citizens which pay the normal VAT rate.

There have been some municipal subsidy schemes for private citizen where you upon sending a receipt of an electric bike purchase will get some money back. They are however often temporary as they only budget a given amount for the scheme.
Range, battery longevity (older versions), lack of fast charge network and charge experience, no OTA software updates, no lane keeping (“autopilot”) on older versions.

Thanks for breaking out the 3 sub-types. I would add if someone is not careful they may not be testing what they think they are testing. For example, when testing response latency, beware of caching. If you hit the same data a million times, your average can look really good, but that's not what your users will experience.

To be honest most of the "credit" comes from Wall Street. Yes, Tesla wouldn't have been profitable if you subtracted the credits but it is absolutely not worth as much as the market says with the credits or even with 3x the credits it got.

And the $TSLA price it's not just some random number mostly irrelevant to daily operations of the company, they sold/issued many shares at such valuations.

By all accounts the Leaf and Bolt are great cars (to say nothing of the Toyota Prius & friends), they just don't have the cachet as a status symbol that Tesla does.

Distantly related question. It was claimed that Alpha Zero taught itself to play incredibly high level chess from the very basic point of playing with itself millions of times after having been fed the basic building block rules of chess and nothing else.

Now I'm wondering if something like this can be made to work for discovering new mathematical relationships or solving existing hypothesis by training a neural network with what we know of maths so far and then letting it "play" with the equations?

Am I being too naive here?
