I know Tesla cutting its PR department adds to the company's scrappy edgy vibe, but messaging and basic facts on these kind of incidents shouldn't be relegated to the CEO's twitter replies to a rando [0].

Excerpt from Reuters [1]

> Herman said a tweet by Musk on Monday afternoon, saying that data logs retrieved by the company so far ruled out the use of the Autopilot system, was the first officials had heard from the company.

> “If he is tweeting that out, if he has already pulled the data, he hasn’t told us that,” Herman told Reuters. “We will eagerly wait for that data.”

edit: For some perspective, back in 2018, when a Model X owner died in the Highway 101 crash, Tesla's PR team put out a blog post with some actual detail several days later [2]. Tesla has sold far far more vehicles since then – nevermind becoming a global operation, nevermind Boring Co. and SpaceX also growing. It makes no sense for Musk to be deep in the details of a single crash, and seeing him tweet a non-committal phrase like "Data logs recovered so far..." adds virtually nothing to an already confusing situation.

The title is clickbait, I presume. I can't read the full article either, but in the introduction it already says that the problem is that not enough houses have been built. And in my opinion, that plus regulation failure are at the root of the problem. Who actually owns the houses is of lesser importance.

The idea of "minimal browsers" is a popular one and there are thriving communities based on this idea:

Gopher is a dead simple text-based protocol:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gopher_(protocol)

Project Gemini is a slightly more powerful protocol for the small web:

https://gemini.circumlunar.space/

The tilde (~) community, which makes the small web social:

https://tilde.club/

I recommend you have a look at James Tomasino's Youtube channel, where he shows a bunch of cool stuff going on around Gemini, Gopher and tilde:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DoEI6VzybDk

This is not for everyone, but if what you want is just basic text and functionality that can work from a terminal (though there are GUI browsers too), then this is perfect.

I suspect Microsoft uses JIT policies for accounts that would be subject to password rotation - you have a separate account that has access to sensitive data, but it's normally locked. When you need to do something, you initiate an access request that requires either a smart card or hardware security key. Depending on the type of access required, another person may have to ok the request. Once approved, the account is unlocked for a set period of time with a new password.
Where does it say it didn’t have autopilot?
Two ad executives get to talk at length about how masterfully their companies are able to deceive the audience. A brand management professor says it will be great income for the poor TV advertising industry. A media director describes what a great source of revenue this could be for starving bands.

A marketing lecturer warns brands that they might end up in a bad PR situation due to something something scandal.

A film critic says it raises some questions about copyright, and that it might intrude on the work of the production designer.

Not a single word about how the heck this will affect the audience.
I agreee that speculation on property solely as an asset is an issue, but don't really agree with the premise early in the article around the growth of cities. The argument strikes me as something like this:

* An increase in the size of urban areas would increase GDP by 4%
* Anything which blocks this growth is bad
* Home ownership blocks this increase
* Therefore, home ownership is bad

The implicit premise is that anything which increases GDP is good. Is it? An obvious counterexample is around environmental regulation. We could almost certainly bump GDP in the short-term by deregulating, but would suffer the consequences a few decades down the line.

I really like the economist and they make their bias clear, but I am a little frustrated with the rhetoric that ever growing GDP is an ethical imperative.
> I find one thing that I struggle with making anything when I see so many people I like doing seemingly amazing things, and I try and figure why I haven’t done amazing things.

This also happens to me. In other comment I read it may be related to social media too: now we have many more connections and those who are successful are even more known that they were in the past, and we're not just watching one single person with that "gift" but just one after the other, so it may seem that they all are better/do more amazing things than we do.

The thing is that we see the popular ones, which are the very tip of the iceberg, but there are many many others "behind" them...

I guess we may also have to reduce our exposure to those sources...
Also the moderation is often hidden. Last week I ran into one of my answers for a language I haven't used in a while. When I read the answer I thought it was odd because the english was very poor. Then I checked and found that a moderator had made a really poor edit of the original answer. Maybe this is reasonable on a site like SO but I really felt that somebody had essentially impersonated me and entirely changed the tone of some writing which was attributed to my name.

> From Sydney to Sydenham, fiddly regulations protect an elite of existing homeowners and prevent developers from building the skyscrapers and flats that the modern economy demands. The resulting high rents and house prices make it hard for workers to move to where the most productive jobs are, and have slowed growth.

Following this logic from the ancient Greek times, by now we would have thousand stories skyscrapers in Athens - because that's where all the jobs were - and an empty Europe around it.

Did you just "literally Hitler"-ed this thread? Yes, you did. Honestly, bringing Hitler up makes a request like "stop using your personal email on this project" seem super innocent by comparison. Congrats you made the current dicks at IBM look good.
I love your love of automation. One question: is it harder to say setup one controller with an IP address and WiFi to control a set of dumb light bulbs rather multiple IP enabled bulbs?
I do like the philosophy of also adding a toolchain to the engine to publish (and for all platforms too!).

More game engines should have this sort of end-to-end toolchain, so that it's at least one concern taken care of.

I tried looking for an nba api but i couldnt find one- but i found nba api projects like https://pypi.org/project/nba-api/

I dont know espn gets their historical data but scraping it wouldnt be problematic. I would think the pro sports orgs would have an api for it

Looks like espn has pretty good historical data records and their api has some documentation. Using the espn api might be your best bet here

Maybe they're insinuating that the position of the bodies rule out a scenario where the driver was thrown into the passenger or back seat via impact.
What??

I look at it like this: explaining how you did the thing is part of doing the thing, so it's not complete until it's explained well enough for whoever your audience is. Not writing documentation cuts into time for doing the thing, i.e. cutting corners.

Wow, you are not just missing the articles point, but you are turning it upside down. Two examples:

> It takes work to achieve this, just like it takes work to achieve any useful skill.

This is the recipe to have the exact feeling of inadequacy discussed in the article. "Didn't achieve? So you didn't put in the work. Shame on you. You are behind."

> "losers focus on the winners, and winners focus on themselves".

Having to be a winner is the exact mentality descibed in the article.

And your kids not being raised wimps is a comment that just makes me sad.
> At the root of that failure is a lack of building, especially near the thriving cities in which jobs are plentiful.

I think the biggest economic policy failure of the West is the hyper-concentration of high-paying jobs and enormous wealth in a few cities. What percentage of wealth do New York, Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and London represent?

The truth is as long as the wealth is hyperconcentrated in these cities, you can densify all you want, but you are still going to have massive inequality as to who can afford housing and, because of politics, massive advantages of people already there versus newcomers.

In this age of jet aircraft, high speed rail, and high speed internet, it is a shame that we still cannot spread out the economic opportunities over larger areas.
It’s easy to say this as someone wealthy enough to spend time commenting on online forums. What is the economic externality of urban infill development?
You can break it down to the proverbial lemonade stand. Set one up and let the kids run it. Or when the kids run a bake sale to raise money for the dance - there's a good opportunity to impart this information.

Using real money will pique their interest.

Probably the best episode of "The Apprentice" was the very first, where the teams had to each set up and run a lemonade stand for a day.
Not at the moment, too busy doing it :) But it's oft crossed my mind I should be writing about it, it's been an interesting ride. We're trying to bootstrap it in a lean way, with pretty tiny amounts of capital.

If I ever get round to a blog I'll post it on here.
The neighbour definitely has problems with his wifi as well, so fixing the issue would be beneficial for everyone.

Step 1 would be to use APs that are connected with ethernet instead of Mesh-type APs. That would greatly reduce the amount of data that needs to be transmitted (with mesh, your signal needs to be repeated multiple times. With ethernet it's just transmitted once)

Step 2 would be adjusting power output of each AP. If the neighbour has multiple APs, they probably don't each need to run on full power.

Step 3 would be looking for devices that transmit a lot of data. I assume most of the 120 devices don't cause a lot of traffic. Maybe there's just a few that cause 90% of the traffic. Maybe the most traffic intensive devices (eg. camera) could be replaced with a wired connection.

I'm assuming the neighbour doesn't know anything about how to optimize Wifi networks, but OP sounds knowledgable, so maybe they could work together to fix the issue.

It can be a Win-Win situation: OP gets a usable 2.4GHz channel, Neighbour also gets better connectivity.
This is why you write the tests first!

The rules against density have prevented a lot of demand from being met. It makes big cities where people want to live unattainable for many because of price.

It also forces many people into long commutes. This makes them less happy, cause large amounts of pollution, and creates huge traffic jams. By increasing density, biking to work becomes easier. Similarly, public transport becomes a lot more effective.

In general it leads to much more efficient cities.
True in one sense...

MY current job has me on "salary" but they require me to work 40 hours a week... and have a time clocking program.

You should post a part-time job on Twitter, like this guy: https://twitter.com/LouisSlices/status/1380455925346107397?s...

You can also email the job opportunity to me. I collect all part-time jobs on ParttimeCareers (https://parttime.careers).
Definitely ask your HR department if they think that is sufficient.
If you make a device (say, wireless walkie-talkie) that can communicate with other devices of this type, it is not yet an open standard protocol. It's just your proprietary thingy that you do with some communication properties.

Same thing here. It's a product of one commercial company, which fully decides how it works.

Conduit is not finished, and, given the monolytic nature of matrix protocol (as opposed to XMPP, by the way) it will likely never be finished. Even on it's GitHub page it writes with big big letters: DO NOT RELY ON IT.

> As much as I'd love to work for a FAANG, retire early, and buy a large house in an idyllic mountain town, I'd hate for that same town to loose its historical roots and what makes it that special idyllic mountain town in the first place.

It's already arguably happened; fruit orchards and irrigation turns were big part of the milieu in Orem/Provo a few decades back, and they're all but absent now, and in general the Wasatch Front has taken a dramatic turn away from agriculture in the last 30 years.

It's easy to imagine the metro areas like the Bay and Los Angeles like they've always been that way, especially if you're younger than the internet. But if you look at early/mid-century maps or pictures you realize that there was still a great deal of open space and agriculture mixed in. It doesn't take a genius to realize similar changes are coming along regions like the I-15 corridor.

California problems follow California popularity.
So you're replacing an external leaderboard with an internal leaderboard. With different versions of yourself on it.

That's arguably worse than competing with other people, because with other people there is always the excuse of different contexts and conditions, while with yourself it's only you to blame if you don't come up on top.

Which, coincidentally, is what the original article is about. I suggest a reread and a bit of meditation about it.
I wouldn't hold my breath for it to happen. Why would the current owner relinquish control to others to govern its direction?
This makes zero sense, and sounds more corporate slave-ownership.

If you are going to pay the going hourly rate for 168 hours a week, yeah maybe there's something.

But if you only pay for 40 hours a week, that's what you get: not a single minute outside of that. And especially not something the person did or invented at home.

Speculation helps create a liquid market and stabilize prices.

I will also vouch for and throw my 2¢ in for DI.fm. I've been subscribed since 2014 and while I have my qualms (namely a few stations that haven't seen a playlist change since I signed up, or their somewhat recent attempt to switch to a playlist-based setup instead of internet radio), it's a top-notch service that continues to please.
Don't some homeowners object to increased supply because they believe it hinders appreciation of their homes?
Jet aircraft, HSR, and high speed internet are all relatively modern - newer than all the cities in your list - and require infrastructure which concentrates population growth. Have you tried pricing out the cost of Comcast trenching cables to a disconnected homestead? Now do an airport or HSR line.

News aggregators can also just as well inform you as to whether something is bubbling into a major story. I think about any news source and whether they miss something that I want from aggregators, and the answer is often yes.
Wait, I can show you a $600B textile factory.
I actually tried coordinating an effort like this with my neighbors when I lived in an apartment complex. That effort very quickly died, for most neighbors not knowing much about their wifi other than that the box with blinking lights made the Internet go, and not a single stock firmware I encountered exposing a TX power setting anywhere in the configuration interface.

Hopefully someone with that much kit would be the kind enthusiast who'd be running firmware that allows you to turn TX power below 100%, but it could just as likely be someone who really likes being able to set their light bulb color from their iPhone.
Yes, there are an estimated 1,000 people sleeping rough. The study below determined that 40% of them actually own/rent housing, but don't use it because of eg. family conflicts, while the remainder either choose not to apply or have somehow fallen through the cracks of the system.

I wonder whether UX tests are performed during the development of Gnome. A big number of the design decisions seeming arbitrary. Overall there is very little usability progress since Gnome 3 appeared.

Gnome has long been my favorite desktop, but they never managed to trim Gnome for usability and efficiency. Instead their followed a weird concept of minimalism and a pointless touch oriented (as if anyone would use it on a smart phone!) UI.

As much as I like the idea of Linux as my primary desktop OS, I've given up.

In the future I see Windows macOS and ChromeOS but no Linux on classical computers (not smartphones and tablets).

Oh, I'd say when you're running your own stuff, it's only guardrails. I don't think anybody's gonna say it should be any account's login shell or anything. Sure, there's the idea that attackers could break out of it with such a simple featurebug, but it's nice to be able to shed functionality when automating things that could go very wrong.
Maybe one way out is to change the metric you are comparing.

That overachiever neighbor with 3 kids he rarely sees, the trophy wife that wants another gucci handbag and the porsche he drives hastily to the next meeting? Does he have more money? Sure. Is he more happy? Hardly. If the happiness and relaxation metric are what counts then me bindge watching netflix a lazy saturday morning wins 10x over that guy rushing to the airport to make it to his business class flight to Paris.

There is much unmet demand for living in dense areas, and it’s unmet largely for reasons of policy set by incumbents and not technology. LA’s zoned capacity was higher 50 years ago than it is today. Same with San Francisco.

Signing away your free time is literally what work is. Bit even if we take that you mean the rest of your free time, how do you enforce that without making a hash of it? Am I allowed to work for my company's biggest competitor in my free time? What if I donate that time?

I agree some things should be private, but if I'm paid to program, it makes sense in some instances to say I can't sell or give away that skill they are paying for. Enforcing the details is hard, which is also why I don't want the government doing a shit job of it, and the market can sort that out. Let the government define my rights (which is much more encompassing and harder to circumvent anyway), and the market define the details. If I don't like what is being offered, I'll go elsewhere.
>Not true at all, many here on HN are openly hostile towards it because they dismissed it at the time while others were made obscenely wealthy.

I feel ya. I'm refactoring my CSS parser the third time now, because I needed to support nested media queries (and therefore the logical condition "spec").

It's amazing how complex even CSS has gotten. And implementing HTML without the ISO SGML spec and the SGML handbook is close to impossible.

So many edge cases, so much layouting overhead, and so much damned flow root types.

Honestly in the beginning I thought "how hard can it be, it's just like XML"... I was so wrong about this.
