> In the 18th century, without proper roads, between the choice of a car with wooden wheels and a horse, I'd have 100% of the time would have bought the horse.

There were no automobiles in the 18th century.

> No, it isn't. Driving 120kph in the autobahn is more dangerous than driving 200kph.

Yes, it is. Data shows accidents increase with speed, yes, even in autobahns, let alone in highways with speed limit.

Also, you were talking about motorways/highways in general, the overwhelming of which have speed limits, and not about autobahns in particular.

> 130kph has to overtake you with 10kph difference

I used 120 as it's the highway speed limit in most of the world. Replace 120 with 130, the point is driving at the speed limit. You are talking about going 200kph, so I don't see what you're trying to get at here.

> Just because your time is worth less than most people's time and you prefer driving at 120kph, 10kph below the recommended speed, does not mean that most people agree with you. The traffic guidelines actually disagree with you, which is why they recommend at least 130kph.

Ahahaha, what the hell is your problem. I drive the speed limit instead of driving like a maniac because my time is not so valuable as yours?

> The slowest lane usually goes at 140-150 kph. I don't see the point of making an assumption that's clearly incorrect.

Again, simple data falsifies your assertion. Measurements taken put the percentage of people going over 130kph in German highways at between 35% and 60%. So your "slowest lane goes 150" thing is hilariously off the mark.

> If you think that driving at 200kph is dangerous, I have to assume that you never took highway driving classes as part of your driving license

Again with the German exceptionalism? Yes I did drive on the highway to get my license of course. No, I didn't drive nearly twice the speed limit in those lessons.

> training, I'm such a good driver, stick to taking the bus until you git good

Nothing you can say changes the fact that higher speed means more risk of crashes. This is documented, and you are no exception. Everybody thinks they're great drivers so the rules don't apply to them.

---

Finally: in your previous posts you complained that electric cars can't travel at 200kph when the temperature is -20°C. Well if you're such a good driver you should know that it's reckless (and indeed forbidden) to drive at such speeds in such cold weather.
Assembled in China would be more accurate.

Modern supply chains are really complex.
Your laptop might uses chips manufactured in Taiwan by Dutch lithography machines, have a screen build in South Korea using German automation devices, run on software made in the USA, all shipped on a Japanese-build vessel.

One of these apps (google play service) downloads Ads non stop, mine wifi and gps data and send to a central server, etc. All against user wishes ...or even knowledge!

At which point do you draw the line for an app to be malicious?

I've written code in both Elixir and Go and I would never choose Go. Elixir is not only a nicer programming language with better tooling, it also makes better use of system resources in most scenarios.

Often, artistic license take over actual physics, even when the writer knows about the field, he will prefer do it in a way that fits the plot.

I mean, even Interstellar, with a Nobel Prize on board sometimes forgoes scientific accuracy for nicer pictures.

There is also a game about accuracy, viewer expectations, and attention. For example, most people will thing that the best way to land from orbit is to point the ship towards the ground is fire the thrusters, obvious right. If the ship points 90 degrees away, people will ask themselves why. If orbital mechanics is central to your movie, that's good, but you may have some explaining to do. If you are in the middle of an epic space battle, it is not the time for a physics lesson, so go for the obvious (and wrong) and let the viewer focus on the action.
Your comment is interesting and relevant.

Mistake #1

Mistake #2.

Obviously we're not excusing the behavior of the guy. However, when will we learn that we should not mix genders this way, and especially the many times people have been bitten with alcohol. It's bizarre really. People want to have their cake and eat it. They play with fire then cry when they get burnt.
Setting aside all of the other absurdities that Google has been throwing out here, the one thing that really gets to me is the concept that "ad fraud" is even a type of punishment for Google. I run an site with Google Ads, and users of my site have, in the past, realized this and purposefully ran autoclickers on my ads in order to get me banned from AdSense.

I don't understand how they can blame the publisher for this type of action. I understand they obviously can't pay out for the fraudulent clicks, but instead of banning the account, simply don't count the fraudulent clicks! What's so difficult about that?
I wonder how long they'll stay up for. With the lower orbit, I suspect they'll have a short lifespan (unless they have a motor onboard to push them along).

This is a really kind answer. You’re a good person and we’re all lucky to have you.

I have the opposite experience with my 2016 MacBook Pro. It feels really sluggish to me now. 2 cores is nowhere near enough, and the integrated graphics chip doesn’t feel fast enough for everyday tasks if you have external monitors connected. I’m on a video call in discord the machine lags so much it’s unusable. Xcode with swift is basically useless - it lags so much sometimes doing who knows what that it drops keystrokes. I had the monitor stop working because of the design fault right before two back to back conferences. And the keyboard has been replaced once and is now having issues again. Compiling rust on the machine is about 8x slower than my new ryzen based development machine.

We’re in a golden age of cpu improvements. A dual core 2016 mbp isn’t good enough for me any more.
Crazy right? $3.5k and it can’t handle indexing / compiling Swift?!

Some other devs on the team just got M1s. They are backend though... so I haven’t seen an M1 running Xcode yet. Very curious but I am guessing it is night and day... for half the cost or less.
As someone who thinks what happened at the capitol was really scary and very serious the insurrection language is still a joke.

Cambridge defines insurrection as:

> an organized attempt by a group of people to defeat their government and take control of their country, usually by violence:

This was more like an organized attempt to get drunk on Budweiser and listen to Kenney Chesney and take "cool" pictures in the capital building for social media likes. It was closer to rushing area 51 than a real rebellion. They deserve to go to jail for sure if they trespassed in the capitol building or did anything else violent but to make it out to be some kind of orchestrated power grab is ridiculous.
Why do you care what they did with those additional 6GB? How does it change the way you do your job? It’s just bits on an SSD. My Makefile to build a Quartus design today is identical to the one 8 years ago. I don’t care how much disk space it needs to execute those commands.

What I do know is that in those 8 years, Quartus added support for tons of new devices, major new place and route improvements, better SystemVerilog support, it unified MegaWizard and Qsys handling, it added a pin assignment exploration tool that was a huge time saver when figuring out a new configuration. And more.

Stuff that a hobbyist might call junk, can be immensely useful for a professional. “I don’t understand it, it must be junk.”

And you’re wrong: NextPnR has a perfectly usable timing database. It already does static timing analysis as long as you stay within the same clock domain.

What it lacks is a decent static timing analysis engine. One that has the features that commercial STA engines have had for the last 20+ years.

It’s telling that you consider your project mid-sized. It’s not.

I don’t know why you feel the need to drag simulation into the discussion. It’s a completely different topic, and Verilator is a fine tool.

As for “still browsing the list of Quartus features”: have you considered the possibility that these kind of features are exactly what you need to create something that can be produced in volumes of millions without fallout?

Did you do IO margin analysis on your DDR interface to check its behavior over PVT corners? Which IO is most marginal? How many picoseconds are you away from failure? How wide is the eye? How would you do any of that with your open source tools?
Nah. As someone who has gone from a 1 person project to ~10 people and funding, taking the time to tackle problems like this is critical - it frees up an order of magnitude of time later, helps make the product experience smoother, saves you real money that, when you're one person, really can make a difference.

- of course, this is slightly exaggerated, but not really. There's no clarification here and my reading wasn't awaredly malicious. The "wokeists" in the article are abhorrent virtue signalers, absolutely, but "cancelling" someone for (extreme example) a slightly risque joke is totally different from committing mass genocide.

I disagree with locking out old versions. It's a huge problem with older devices trying to access the web via SSL. I think it is important to consider device longevity and also the possibility of the user not being able to upgrade their software. Security is important, but it is not everything. There is also accessibility and compatibility to consider.

It's why I still test my websites with Netscape 3.x and keep http running.
Rape is hard to prove. If one party claims consent was obtained and the other that it wasn't, and there is no recording, it's going to be difficult to make a finding of fact based on the testimony of the two parties. In the absence of clear evidence of lack of consent, with no further evidence, I would expect most cases to result in a finding of not-guilty or not to ever result in a charge.

Think about what evidence would it take for you to be convinced consent was absent, beyond a reasonable doubt; and how would you provide that evidence if you were a victim in the situation in the article.

On the other hand, many false rape accusations are fabricated with completely made up details. Depending on the details, it can be easy to prove the accused (or the accuser) wasn't in the place claimed, or other details don't fit.
Worse, you can be sober and still defrauded. Again. This might prove you naïve or stupid, sure, especially if uou should have known better, but not at fault or less of a victim.

Unbelievable, the times we are living in. I wouldn't speak to this woman ever, who knows what she might write about it years later.

I guess you’re responding to something I didn’t intend to convey because I’m a little confused to find this comment.

To be clear: what I was responding to the comment that said only “contact law enforcement”. I was merely pointing out that “contact[ing] law encoforcement” is not a silver bullet.

But I was also mourning that the alternative (the court of public opinions? Is that the right phrase?) also has its problems. Sometimes it feels like we have no options.

I was not commenting on the OP’s experience.
This point is that the periapsis is still subject to strong atmospheric drag.

APIs to airline reservation systems already exist, they're just supported by the likes of Amadeus that provide the relevant IT infrastructure to the airlines as well as distribution services for travel agents and OTAs to book [nearly] all the airlines

Since finding and booking flights is actually trivially easy for the consumer already, it's actually in the interests of airlines (as well as the middlemen) to be cautious about who gets access to which API function, especially when it comes to actually selling tickets.

At the extreme end of the scale, some low cost carriers can only be booked on their website, because they make more in upsell from the booking flow than they could make with extra bookings from other channels
I once had 11 different people, all friends, accuse me of doing something bad(littering). Literally everyone was confident I did it. They all saw me do it. Everyone piled on me to just admit I did it. I said I never littered, that I hate litterers, and that I have never even eaten the kind of food item that the wrapper came from. They got even madder at me for denying that I did it, as if I was trying to gaslight them all.

Email threads were started where one person collected everyone's recollection of the events, who was there, and what happened. Every response lined up perfectly with each other. I don't think anyone explicitly coordinated their accusations, but knowing there were multiple other accusers certainly made the accusers feel more comfortable and correct in their accusations.

I was presented with the evidence, literal written testimony of 11 people who I considered my friends at the time. I was given an ultimatum to admit it or be kicked out of the group. I said I wouldn't admit it. I started looking at each person's recollection.

You know what actually happened, that all 11 people missed? There were actually 13 people in the group that day. The 13th person, that absolutely everyone forgot about, was a person who didn't normally attend the group. He is 6'10" and 350 lbs. Hard to miss. But everyone forgot about him. I called him up, put him on speaker phone in front of everyone, and asked him "Did you eat <food item> last time we hung out?" His response "yes". I then asked him "Did you throw the wrapper on the ground?" His response "yes".

I asked my friends if that settled the matter, and everyone still believed that I was the litterer. So I stopped hanging out with them.

Nobody was vindictive at the start. But they were all so confident of their own recollections that they became vindictive when I said that they weren't remembering things correctly.
There were reports of the dangers of asbestos back in the 1900s, and the first medical report was in 1924. It took until the '60s before people took it seriously.

Many cases of mesothelioma could have been prevented if we had listened to people who thought it was dangerous.

You can't conclude from asbestos that we should shut down new ideas on the first warnings, nor can you conclude from the history of aviation that we should disregard those warnings.

You asked:

> How can we work towards a better world when people just shoot down any idea that they don't agree with instead of trying to expand their perspective?

Going back to the original comment:

> Perhaps we need a new "test", like the "Turing Test", but this time for when humans can no longer tell the difference between new technology and old technology. "Mighty", for example, is just a "dumb terminal" - technology we had in the 1970s.

You want progress. We gain technological progress through a ratcheting action. A ratchet must close over the progress it has already made in order to ensure the mechanism only moves forward.

Likewise, we only progress if the new thing is genuinely better than the old. That requires that you understand the old thing.

Do you think the metric system is better than US standard measurements? Riddle me this: why is a mile 5280 feet? What's special about that number?

There is a reason for that number. There's also a reason it probably doesn't matter in modern usage, but unless we understand why we don't need that special property, we can't be sure that the metric system is actually progressing over the older systems and not regressing.

That's why you get this comment and others pointing out that this is simply tech from the '70s. If it's 50 years old tech, there's no progress going on. They are not failing to expand their perspectives, they are recognizing that this stuff is something they're already familiar with.
For most office workers, the office is to some extent a dehumanizing panopticon. Some workers do prefer working in the office, but employers do not primarily push for office work in order to make those workers happy - they push for office work primarily for their own reasons. If the survey result of "The majority, or 58%, of employees said they would look for a new position if they weren’t allowed to continue working remotely in their current position" is representative, then we are in for an interesting test of labor's power.

Exactly. The conclusion is simple, yet challenging to implement: don't have sex outside of marriage. For girls and women: don't have casual relationships with men. Problem solved.
Instead of enriching particular sites, I wonder if adding a bunch of click fraud could punish others. Does 10,000 clicks being detected as fraud only invalidate those 10k clicks or does google use heuristics so that those 10k get extrapolated and punishes the valid traffic as well? Can you send enough bathwater that they'll automatically throw out the baby?
I appreciate the thought but I think there's a sort of survivorship bias in this. You remember the apps that worked for you which did this and not the ones that overwhelmed you too, even as a savvy user. The vast majority of users are not Hacker News users (even if we adjust that bar for average).

Even as a developer (not a UX designer), whenever a client suggested, up-front, there should be a "power user mode" I would ask, "Is there such a thing as a power user or just someone with Stockholm Syndrome who hasn't found a better app yet?"
I ended up doing something very similar, if for different reasons. There was an elongated period of time when I had no home Internet service. It was more or less a nonissue, since I had 5GB of LTE-speed tethering, and most of my devices spoke Wi-Fi.

Note that I said most, not all. I had a few Raspberry Pi's, and an old Xbox and 486 PC that I used for old games.

I ended up using DD-WRT in access point mode, and rather than having it run in station mode, it would connect to my phone as a Wi-Fi client, and forward Wi-Fi packets out the Ethernet switch.

It was quite handy, and made the summer much more bearable. As an added bonus, I now keep that router config as a backup. If my actual ISP is ever having an outage, I can reupload that config, and get all of the devices on my network back online, without having to switch them over to Wi-Fi.
