Sorry if I was rude :) As you said you have driven your brother’s Tesla. That’s impressive that the Honda tech has gotten that good. I’ve driven many cars with lane assist and some are better than others.

You mentioned ‘bouncing off the lane edges’, and the reality is this is still where most companies are at. Which is fine because that’s all it’s supposed to be. It’s designed to be an assist when you mess up. Just a gentle nudge back to where you’re supposed to be.

I’m glad this stuff is becoming standard though it’s great tech. My point though is they are not meant to be ‘self diving’ is meant to be a safety ‘assist’.

Honestly, Elon still refuses to call it ‘self driving’ because the driver is still expected to be alert and monitor the autopilot. But the level of sophistication autopilot has is so far ahead of anything else, my point was it doesn’t make sense to compare them.

Pretty soon they will finish beta testing, and you will download an update, and the Tesla will be able to navigate complex traffic situations including cities and traffic signals.

To be fair, I saw something where Honda is supposedly developing a competitor to Tesla autopilot, but the current tech is not that. And the Honda autopilot will only be offered in Japan in a very limited quantity of some exotic $100K+ model. Who knows when those efforts will trickle down to be regular production vehicles available in America. But it’s available today in a Tesla. It’s really impressive what they have achieved!
This. I look forward to the next chapter.
Subjective meaning is not no meaning.
Good absolutely has a meaning.
So does healthy, as does natural.

Your lack of understanding of the context of use, and underlying meaning, is nobody's problem but your own.

Perhaps you should have asked what He meant by clean, because clearly you don't understand.
A typo. I meant "without giving any reason".

Also, I'd be interested to know what you count as blazing fast.
Isn't it bad enough that it's impossible to go anywhere else on the internet without people obnoxiously pushing this pump and dump right now? Does it really need to happen here, too?
Mainly because it isn't seeing much use so far. It would face the same problem if it ever becomes more popular for payments.

Not surprising to hear SpaceX being anti-labor given Tesla. Being worked harder for less money is not what you want to hear as a laborer. Of course, to me, I am neutral on rich whites spending their unusual and overinflated net worths as fodder for a billionaire sociopath, but the implications for everyone at SpaceX makes it clear that their labor stance is racist. Thanks for sharing.
Onenote is not end to end encrypted. Total nonstarter.
Is there any government contact tracing app that is considered successful by tech people? Japan had a similar problem: its contact tracing app, COCOA, was originally developed by volunteers in open source. Then the government "purchased" the app and subsidized it to some medium IT vendor, which further subsidized it to six (!) other companies. The app has been regarded clusterfuck and failed to support the latest version of iOS/Android.

It's not anti-labor per se. It's that working for a company which has that goal, vision, and track record SpaceX does is part of the compensation package.
Great excerpt:

As of now, Ecobee's products can still be purchased on Amazon, but the WSJ claims that negotiations between Ecobee and Amazon are ongoing. According to the WSJ, the online retail giant asked Ecobee to share data from its Alexa-enabled smart thermostats, even when the customer wasn't actively using the voice assistant. Ecobee reportedly refused to have its devices constantly report back to Amazon about the state of the user's home, including data on which doors were locked or unlocked and the set temperature. The reasoning being that enabling its devices to report this data to Amazon would be a violation of its customer's trust.

I was in a class back several years ago where the instructor gave a memorable less about inner monologues. He pulled up two volunteers and asked one to explain a new concept to the other. Good, fine, everything went well. The second person repeated the concept back clearly and in their own words.

Then the instructor asked them to explain a different concept. This time the instructor whispered in the second person's ear (loud enough for the class to listen), "you're stupid, you're never going to understand this, everyone thinks you're an idiot, you should just quit," and on and on. And of course the person hadn't retained anything. The point being just how much negative self-talk interferes with learning and communication.
Well that's incorrect. I only use Firefox at home. Works fantastic.
> Nassim Taleb called him an “imbecile”.

This is why I disgust this Taleb guy: he usually has good insights but defends them with the worst arguments. Or no arguments at all.

I felt his "Black Swan" book is a very good idea stretched into hundreds of pages of arrogance and condescendence.
HelloFresh was founded before Blue Apron. And the modern mealkit business model was invented in Sweden about five years before that.
I am soooooo happy that I insisted on buying the “dumber” Ecobee model that just supported HomeKit and no Alexa.

Every time I read these stories, I am so glad that HomeKit exists, even if it has a vastly inferior ecosystem.

Dogecoin has the same design flaw of a hardcoded block size as bitcoin, and would hit the same limitation if it became popular (although, dogecoin mines a block every 1 minute as opposed to bitcoin's 10, so it could support 10x more tps before hitting said limit).

I think your privacy efforts are working against you. You turned of personalized ads and wondering why the ads you are getting aren't personalized.

With nothing else to key off of, you're going to get the bottom of the barrel ads that they cant show to normal people (because there's always a more personalized ad to show them).
You will see Modern C++ more like Python these days. It has really neat stuff. A comment is not enough to describe this.

Nuclear power is (and I presume even more so will be) the best option for outer space energy provision use-case, and at the same time it does not present that much of an edge in using it here on Earth, considering the alternatives. Consuming it on Earth here and there in small proportion just to develop and improve the technology as the primary goal makes sense, but relying on nuclear energy large scale generation? It feels like wasting this invaluable and (literally) non-replenish-able resource that may be badly needed in the future.
i recently traded in my dell xps with ubuntu for a macbook air, because:

- the arrow key / page up and down placement on the keyboard led me to jump all over the page when typing

- the camera was placed at the bottom of the screen, which looks super unflattering (an issue of importance in an all video conferencing world)

- unexpected ubuntu on the hardware quirks that i had to deal with before getting to the coding that i wanted to do

- M1 is _fast_. it makes everything feel like lightning.
This sounds more like a people problem than a language problem to me.

It wasn't just the U.S. receiving that talent. Latin America, particularly Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, and Chile also saw 10s of millions of European immigrants.[1] Germans, Italians, Jews, Poles, etc, as well as Japanese and Chinese. Canada and Australia also saw significant migration.

So the mere fact of the emigration of European talent doesn't quite answer the question. The role of European conflict driving emigration isn't at question here. But what distinguished U.S. schools? Why were they better able to leverage this accidental human bounty than other systems? It's not like there was a complete dearth of higher education institutions in Latin America. In the first few decades of the 20th century Argentina and Chile were some of the most well-developed nations on earth, scientifically and politically.

[1] Circa 2003 I met a 90-ish-something Mexican born, ethnic Irish docent in the Bisbee, AZ museum. His parents fled Ireland to Mexico and worked a farm in Sonora, then killed in conflict between the Mexican Army and, IIRC, Apaches. He and his older brother trekked through the desert for several days to cross (illegally, I might add) to the U.S. I always thought that was a fascinating story--a nexus of different historical threads that, as an American, you would never really consider together.

Waxed paper or tinfoil prevents smoke from infiltrating the paper and almost completely stops air exchange, so going with an unwaxed paper allows you to get more flavor and slightly more exchange for optimum bark retention. You still want it fairly thick because you need to keep the humidity up inside -- humidity encourages your collagen (one of the main binders in the meat) to convert to gelatin, which is what takes your tough, connective-tissue-filled pieces of meat and turns them into moist, tender, delicious competition BBQ with a silky mouthfeel (from the gelatin).
Back in the day, whenever Mr. Overby would come on the radio, I would have loads of fun imagining that he had just been rudely interrupted at the dinner table to do his segment. Then, I would guess at what kind of food he had in his mouth as he gave his hurried report. To me at least, the particular tone of his voice made it sound like he was eating mashed potatoes or a sandwich, and he wanted to get back to his dinner with his family. Yes, I have a colorful interior life inside my head. Don't judge me. But seriously, he has a very unique sound to his voice. I tried to look up his background and where he grew up, but couldn't find anything. It's surprising to me that he hasn't done voice work or animation, as he would be perfect for those roles.
It's a great crypto: to copy paste from an earlier comment, DOGE has the same UI as BTC as it is based on the same software (so just as secure and easy to add if you already support BTC payments), but with more digits (no need for satoshis as the smaller unit), lowest prices (people do not want to own fractional number of a coin like 1/100 of a BTC, they want integers), widely available on most exchange due to having existed for a long time...

There is a strong usecase, at least as strong as LTC. I see it as a strong contender for the 3rd crypto, as a medium of exchange.

Also, the community has refused before to reduce the emission rate (which would advantage holders), meaning they remain open minded.

Given that and their past involvement with various charities DOGE has all my support: when it started increasing 2 months ago due to the WSB crowd, I deployed a few full nodes to give a hand as people were complaining how long it took to sync the full chain.
This is an awesome article! I bought a Chargriller smoker last year and finally got into smoking meats. I’ve always loved BBQ and learning how to do it myself has been so fun. It’s a great hobby to get into, I highly recommend.
Looking for Highly Technical Founder
Hello all,
I released an iOS application that I coded up myself and today I found myself growing from 21 users to 1400+ users just today (no ads/money spent). The app is only on iOS currently and I had to turn off the main funnel where the users were coming from, which I truly regret. It was however necessary because of the privacy concerns in the app. I am spending my night pushing a privacy update but I don't want to find myself in the situation where I have to turn off my funnels again.

I am a self-taught technical founder but do not consider myself highly technical. I can however learn fast when I need to. I need someone that can make sure my backend architecture is secure and can first make sure the iOS application is polished, then can code up or has a network of people that can code up an android application.

I obviously am also working on the iOS side but I also clearly need assistance managing these new users. This is my first time having something that has grown so fast and want to fail quickly before it is too late.

If anyone is interested please email me at admin@enteleca.com (this is my placeholder email and enteleca is not the app). Thank you.
It’s actually kind of impressive to me that so many people want to try and help though. Even if their judgment and advice is wrong (which is likely due to the fact that we really know nothing about this guy), it still gives me a little bit of hope in humanity that people care about some random stranger they’ve never met. Most responses seem genuine rather than self-serving,
I was referring to the problem of corruption and kickbacks.

I'm certainly not saying companies can't overpay for things, but there is an inherent pressure from competition to incentivize companies to try to pay less, whereas taxpayer-funded government often doesn't experience similarly direct pressure.
There is a clear training problem in science. But I believe part of it is that the knowledge on how to write good software is stuck in companies. You can't learn it in school either. I keep hearong about companies that have to make their new hires unlearn what they learned in class... So where would scientists learn good practices? (in my experience books arent the answer either)
> What happens to note access when off subscription?

Nothing at all. You can still edit and access them as normal. There's no limit on the amount of notes you can make on the free tier.

> is dark mode an option on the free tier?
Yep.

As for the subscription model, it's necessary to support development of a Web & mobile app where versioning is much harder as opposed to a desktop version.

$1 Doge is a very strong psychological target for the retail fan crowd. Musk keeps tweeting. EasyDNS just added to the momentum pile. They'll probably triple the value of any current holdings by early next year, minimum. This play makes sense in a lot of ways. If you can play technicals (obvious Elliott Wave-end situation likely capping off this weekend for example) you can probably even exit prior to the price exhaustion and buy back at lows.
That's a long post, and I will not comment on all of it. However some very short thoughts:

HTTP/3 has nothing to do with protocol buffers. Yes, it uses a binary encoding for request headers on top of QUIC streams. And those QUIC streams use another binary encoding to get QUIC frame data into UDP datagrams. But neither of those are using protocol buffers. If a user uses HTTP/3 in the end (most likely through a library), they can store anything in the request response bodies - whether its binary data or just text data.

Multiplexing and binary encoding already exist in a HTTP/1.1 stack. The main difference is that it happens on the kernel level (it multiplexes IP datagrams in the end, and associates them with sockets). The main difference with QUIC is that this multiplexing layer now lives in application space. But since most users are not going to write their own library, they will rely on someone else to get that layer right. Either they want to have a solid kernel plus a solid TLS library on top, or they want a solid QUIC library. There is obviously a risk related to introducing anything new into a system, but once things mature it's not that different anymore.

Once users have a QUIC library, APIs don't really have to be harder than for handling HTTP/1.1 requests. One can easily offer blocking send() and receive() APIs to interact with request bodies, the encoding and multiplexing doesn't have to leak into application code.
I would think that whenever the "clear cookies" command is given to a browser, it also clears the FloC ids. Is that not the case?
As someone from the EU, some of your points seem very true, but it's also simply a matter of many people not really having the same goals and requirements.

There is no true independence in any society, apart from autocracy, and externalities always exist.

There doesn't seem to be much value attributed to 'having a lot of money' etc, for a lot of people, having a fulfilling job, family and life is enough, and having the security of knowing that you can get sick and go to the hospital without being bankrupted, or knowing that you will be able to provide for your family directly or indirectly in almost all scenarios makes this whole "I need to be a billionaire to live" notion very non-existent here.

You don't need a VC to be happy, you don't need to create a startup and you don't need to take a lot of risk to create value. This is of course directly related to the social cocoon; and knowing the value of that makes for very little need to take big risks for a chance of making things 'better' (whatever 'better' might be...).

That said, there are a lot of self-bootstrapping businesses that function just fine. They don't go public and mostly don't make more than a couple of millions each year, but it is enough, or better: it is plenty. There is no rat race, you have plenty of vacation, you can travel the world, and if something goes wrong there are buffers to catch you. (but those aren't comfortable enough to just slack off in to and 'do nothing', but that'd be unfulfilling for most people anyawy).
Y’all don’t hate me, but you can make totally passable pork butt in a pressure cooker in about an hour. No, it would never stand up to smoked meat, but, an hour.

The EU CS grads that make it to the US are stronger than the average US ones. They are also stronger than the average EU ones.

I think that some elite US institutions provide solid CS foundations but the classes that supply this don’t also supply good scientific thinking. I think that the institutions thought that science and engineering requirements would have supplied this. However, that is very hit and miss based on the quality of the professors you happened to take for introductory science courses.

The second tier US schools are definitely trade schools. The professors do at best second tier research. The average student is weaker. Canada appears even more explicitly trade school like than the US with significant portions of schooling devoted to getting industry experience.

Also, the recent rise in compensation has relatively recently tilted even the elite institutions towards being trade schools. A greater and greater percentage of undergraduates at these elite institutions are majoring in CS.
As far as I can tell they cannot discard the salt if they want to be able to tell if you already have a 'humanID'. Without the salt, you cannot tell if the phone number already has an account without having to brute force the salt.

If they were serious about this, they should at least use scrypt or some other modern password hashing technique as salted sha512 can be computed too quickly on modern hardware.
Are you actually a hiring manager who thinks like this or you just speculate? I've always thought no one gaves a shit about this kind of think in software dev and have not been proven wrong, especially now with remote interview becoming the norm. Quality of microphone/connection is more like the kind of thing that matters.

You could contribute to it, and try to bring the project back to life!!! (I mean, any/most of us here on HN could!)

Tomboy is free and open-source software, licensed under the LGPL license[1]. It's also written in C# (which is pretty wonderful language to work with on a GUI application, especially compared to C or C++ or even maybe Vala).

It would be wonderful to breathe a new life to it.

Eh I'm normally against bludgeoning people with a CoC, but the guy he responded to was basically telling him to "go fuck yourself" masked by euphemisms. So I think this was just a passive-aggressive response in kind to a rude email.
But does it matter if you have an extreme wealth gap, a culture of fear and violence, and a lot of people living in poverty?

It's always nice to point out the things that are doing great according to some metrics, but when put in perspective, what does it end up doing for the people? It shouldn't mean that "unless it benefits blue collar workers it doesn't need to exist", but you'd expect tooting one's own national horn to be put in context a bit better.
