To be fair, in the cases I'm thinking of it's more just chucking a new guy into the mess without direction.

I agree with you. When you do have decent documentation (more than just "here's how to npm install") and you've got a well curated backlog of defects this can be a good way to onboard new people and give them a starting point to tour the codebase.

Not only that - it's kind of a flawed comparison anyway.

None of the F9 boosters are orbital vehicles, i.e. they cannot even be compared to the Space Shuttle since their only commonality is that both are rocket-powered vehicles that crossed the Karman-line.

There's simply no good point of comparison at the moment since the F9 is the first of its kind.

Yeah, right, that’s what I considered “acceptable” for such a fun-only functionality, I guess.

Not that it would be too surprising, since the behavior is a general property of the (ermph… Laplace? Poisson? oh, whatever) distribution, right? Still, I made this histogram for the real probabilities of Wikipedia articles (for enwiki and my home cswiki) and it turned out to look the same (meaning the random number generator is not obviously superbad), see https://gist.github.com/mormegil-cz/84d0cc34eb5f1234be8966f7...

The bill of materials for the "smart" parts in a smart tv costs less than $20-$30 US. Nothing more than that.
I suppose that the smart part's hardware is below $10, it's not much more advanced than a RPi. OK, $20 if it includes a decent camera for video calls.

But its presence can be sold for a hundred more, because the consumers apparently... want these features? Things like YouTube, Netflix, video calls, etc. And, of course, voice control.

>Making pervasive tracking illegal would do so much more for purchase privacy than cryptocurrencies.

Considering governments are not going to give up their panopticon-like powers without a fight, how about making pervasive tracking technically impossible?
Hear hoofbeats, think horses.

The skillset to compromise large enterprise networks is more readily available and more profitable than the skillset to compromise SCADA systems, and for all the flak they get, the culture at most large engineering firms in the West is extremely safety conscious. If it's not provably operating safely, it isn't. So it gets shut down.

So you all need to do is deny the link between the actual control system and lines of engineering reporting.

I did come to love the storage for prams, especially in winter-time. That meant we didn't need to take ours inside our flat, when it was dripping snow and ice.

The communal gardens that are shared between buildings are really nice for children. As you say there is often equipment as well as toys, a sandbox, and similar.

We've got something like 11 children aged 1-11 in our buildings, and they're often playing together on weekends and in the early evenings.

Then do the 5% math on $19k spending (or $15k), it doesn’t have to be $20k.

In the US $20k of credit card expenses is not insane as an adult living by yourself.

After factoring in groceries, gas, insurance, utilities, a few dinners out and a couple flights a year, that’s very reasonable.

I am a relatively frugal person who spends $40k a year in a HCOL area in the US (but get paid 25X that fortunately), and $20k is my credit card spending, I basically put everything on my cards except for rent. Cards are in autopay every month, so no risk of extra fees. I also have enough financial discipline to obviously not spend more than I strictly need to, I am a very aggressive saver actually.

Tiny spacecrafts and sails with lasers. Yeah pretty sure that was it. Such a cool idea, and it would only take 30 years, which means a lot of us will still be alive to see it. Imagine seeing actual closeup pictures of “earth 2”.

Anyway if they used the same technology, but sent spacecraft out into space from locations all around the Earth at the same time, then we could gather data as this fleet headed into deep space.

Like one of those big planet explosions in science fiction movies, but instead of an explosion, just tiny space crafts.
You can have an agenda, create fear to further your goals and say you didn't have an agenda - pretend the results were accidental.

Low end TVs also skimp on HDMI ports. I didn't think of this, purchased a cheap LG (with only 2) and then had to buy an HDMI hub. Obviously still cheaper than paying $2-400 more on the TV itself, but next I'm I'll count the ports.
Don't get me wrong- I agree with the sentiment that crashes are better than corruption. But, as someone else already mentioned, the thread sanitizer does cause significant overhead from all of the debug info it holds (maybe a release version could just be performance tuned). But, also, Swift already has asserts that go away in release builds, as you mentioned. So it's at least consistent.

Agreed. I barely knew who Elon Musk was until reading his biography, which was written years ago. The biography ended with Elon's dream of colonizing Mars and doing verticle rocket landings, and talked about the challenges and shared some skepticism. So from my perspective the first of his "dreams" has become a common reality, and I'm left thinking that colonizing Mars is next.
And the trick behind that is when you leave a company, they have to normally pay for unused PTO.... Unless the PTO is "unlimited" aka not accruing.

And much research done academically and in business magazines shows that people use LESS PTO when it's "unlimited".

Show HN: I built uFincs – a privacy-first, encrypted personal finance app
>The problem that happens is most asset classes become correlated in a downturn.

I tend to think it's not worth it to try to hedge against that unless know you're going to need hard cash for a specific purpose during a recession, like meeting payroll in your own company.

My ide of diversifying is to hedge against industry-specific risks like space launches if Kessler syndrom hits, internal combustion tech if the ICE car ban becomes reality, real estate if the Detroit scenario happens, etc.
It doesn’t sound that hard, it’s just laser kites. I bet Elon could do it.
I'm fine with HTML myself, actually; it's stuff like CSS that I'm more worried about.

Hey HN! I'm excited to (officially) show off the project I've been working on (for far too long): uFincs, a privacy-first personal finance app! https://ufincs.com

Yes, it's another personal finance app. Yes, there sure are a lot of them. But when I got tired of using GnuCash a couple years ago, I figured I should try something a little different and throw my hat in the ring.

The result? No banks, no budgets, no data collecting. Just a clean UI, a privacy-first attitude, and good old double-entry accounting.

The main thing that makes us so 'privacy-first' is the fact that we do client-side encryption: all of the financial data that you enter is encrypted before it leaves your browser and hits our servers. That way, you maintain sole ownership of your data. Want more of the juicy technical details? Check out our security overview: https://ufincs.com/policies/security

If you want to skip past all of the marketing fluff, feel free to drop into using the app right away: https://ufincs.com/noaccount. Since uFincs is offline-first and a PWA, we can offer the ability to use the app completely without an account, for free! Of course, if you want to easily access your data on all your devices, that's where a paid account comes in handy :)

And if you're getting some mad déjà vu from all this, it's because I commented about uFincs a couple weeks ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26970716

Finally, since I know some people were hesitant about the pricing, I decided to throw together a special coupon just for you guys: "HN15". It's 15% off, forever, on any of the plans, for the first 100 new sign-ups.

If you have any questions, feel free to check out out the FAQ (https://ufincs.com/faq), but I'll be here all day to respond to any comments!
This is a problem created entirely by Musk. He repeatedly makes claims about Tesla's technology that even their engineers say don't match reality [1]. No other car company gets the scrutiny Tesla does because no other CEO persists in making outlandish claims about the capabilities of their vehicles.

Tesla needs Musk to do two things: 1) Stop wildly over-promising Tesla's FSD capabilities, and 2) stop publicly posting rebuttals to any news about accidents involving Teslas. Combine this with recreating a PR team for Tesla who can work to push out real information about what the cars can do plus respond appropriately when asked to comment on any accidents, and the public and media will move on before you know it.

DEI is so obviously demagoguery and in practice the groups that profess it resemble a religion or cult.

Unsurprisingly the organizations that spearhead it are communists set on seeing that society as it exists today collapses.

The strict and all-encompassing moral code professed by DEI groups provides the perfect camouflage for sociopaths to fly under the radar and gain a foothold in organizations since the standard of morality is now a very clear set of token phrases to repeat.

On top of that - the whole sphere of DEI is essentially a luxury good for a bourgeois milieu, usually some of the most powerful workers in the economy - at the local level but even more appallingly at the global level.
A handful of people doing highly technical compiler work relied upon by much of the industry, while also being experts in JS probably do deserve to be paid more than the average senior in Berlin.

He is using a fork of old FF which is able to run most of the good extensions which won't work with current FF. And have no equivalent there. Something like Tabmix+ comes to mind, and/or vertical tabs, several forks of Scratchbook+ also. Maybe combined with a theme like Witehart with FF you could have a very relaxed browsing experience.

That is all gone, FF has been dumbed down, and Chrome(ium) even more so.

> feminists are more likely than other academics to write books like this.

spin that thought just a tiny bit further ... and ask "why is it that women are forced to create their own bubble in which they can grow and achieve the same things us men take for granted", you might be onto a mental break through. one which allows you to look at women's ambition and achievement without resorting to misogyny and devaluing their achievements.

> That's a statement of the obvious.

instead of saying "that's obvious" why not ask yourself the important question: why does it seem obvious when for the opposite sex it's all but obvious. This is simply a further reinforcement of your original flawed point.

Ariane 5 error was caused by the remaining 30% programming errors when we leave out the 70% of software failures caused by C typical errors.

The alternative is to just give up that programmers will never learn and just force verification at hardware level, like Google is doing on Android.

Not really. It was much better than lying, and appearing to support OpenDoc only to drop it later would have been far worse for the developers who would have invested been more into it and Apple.

> As Teslas are safer over time, one would expect rates to gradually go down.

In Germany it's currently the opposite due to the overly high amount of Teslas that are declared as total damage because the auditors that work for insurers usually don't know that their frames can be partially replaced.

Additionally there's no availability to repair a Tesla in practice at that point, but the given software lockout policy of Tesla is a different story.

Sure you are liable because you can sell at any time. You voted with your money to approve all that Apple has done. You don't approve a measure of it; that would be absurd. If you missed a shareholder meeting where they discussed doing something terrible, you are liable. As a shareholder you have the ultimate responsibility for the company because no one is there to tell you otherwise. You don't abolish yourself of your wrongdoing be remaining ignorant of what is being done in your name. This results from the very basic ethics of how society works so...
