Tying money up in a vehicle that grows more slowly than its likely substitute investment is “losing money” in one’s total financial picture. If it grew more slowly than inflation, it could remain affordable to others but terrible for the present owners.

I’m pro owner-occupied housing. I think it’s good for families and good for the community/society. But in the hypothetical where it grows more slowly than inflation, renting starts to look a lot better than it does currently.
Is it though?

If you have 7 users Monday, make a big change on Tuesday and now on Wednesday have 4 users, which then stays the same count for years. Is that really better for your community? To stay static and not grow, as every other social media company has been doing?

Tumblr is a great example of having the right end goal (making the community safer to advertise on, thus have more revenue), but doing it in a really dumb way. Instead of killing off their well established albeit NSFW userbase, they should have been incentivizing them to post more SFW content that could have been monetized.

Instead the perception of tumblr is they were the porn social media site that banned porn and became irrelevant.

Unpopular opinion, but i've always hated this trend of using weird http verbs for rest apis. Half the time it doesn't really fit right, and is a weird layering violation. I think they make sense for WebDav but not general apis.
Wondering how much of that is actual test and how much is posturing in context of South China Sea pass-throughs.. "this is the bomb we have to use just to test because, you know, our ships are that strong..."
It’s easy to add a few hundred thousand dollars of sensors to a $100 million plane. But $20k on a $40k car is too much and makes it cost prohibitive for most people. If vision alone can get you to say 1 crash in 10 million miles, that’s more than good enough to replace human drivers. If someone decides they want to go the extra mile and will pay for something rated for 1 in 20 million miles for 2x the cost, then they are free to do so.

As mentioned in this talk Tesla is taking an iterative approach and trying to make things safer for people today, not in 5 yrs from now. Maybe in a few years Tesla will see that to go from 10 million miles to 20 million miles they need 4k cameras at 60 fps, but the work they had already done would still have had a big impact. You don’t need to do things in one shot and get to the finish line.
Interesting conclusion:

> A low-carbohydrate diet based on animal sources was associated with higher all-cause mortality in both men and women, whereas a vegetable-based low-carbohydrate diet was associated with lower all-cause and cardiovascular disease mortality rates.

I'm not familiar enough with reading scientific whitepapers to judge if it's good science or not though.

As someone that isn't vegan, and thinks that low-carb diets are pretty good, I don't really want to believe this result. :)
I can tell you want to offer helpful feedback and you are not trying to be negative, you are well intentioned and your advice comes from a place of knowledge and experience.

That said, I don't think "Show HN" should be considered a public academic peer review. The internet is full of enough negativity.

If you want to offer advice on HN, try framing it like this:

[GREAT WORK] I especially like [FEATURE 1..i] the [SOMETHING ELSE] is [WELL WRITTEN|WELL DOCUMENTED].

If you are looking to [EXPAND/EXTEND/DEVELOP] [FEATURE/DEPLOYMENT/APPLICATIONS] I recommend [BOOK|BLOG|PAPER]

> If you feel that you or others are immune from this, awesome, go for it, but give me room in the skeptics corner.

You are quite keen on feedback, so take the feedback offered by myself and others here into consideration. Communication skills are not a weakness, they are a strength.

I think that even if this were about renters and not landlords that would never happen due to being so much harder to measure. Investigating who really struggled and who was fine or who gamed the system and who really couldn't pay would probably end up costing more than it was supposed to save people even ignoring how it's paid for out of federal debt if I'm reading the article right.

All that said I think if any state really wanted to help renters they'd make real renting illegal and mandate all the contracts change to lease agreements. Nobody likes to pay their landlord's mortgage, that's not fair whether you made rent payments a priority or not. But seeing as big landowners and politicians always seem to be buddies that's about as likely as as what you originally proposed so I digress.
It depends on where exactly the ship is when the reactor is damaged, but in general water is actually pretty good at containing radiation so my guess is that some wildlife will die or get cancer but it won't have long term effects like Fukushima did because the ship will sink and kill the core before it melts down, if it even melts down in the first place.

Regardless, it won't really matter, since sinking a US aircraft carrier probably means nuclear war.
I started with XP with a pentium 2 then move to a pentium 4. It ran perfectly on both. It started even faster than my Linux Mint installation.
Any idea of the budget for a test like this?
Not sure what you mean there. I'm saying that one is a necessary consequence of the other. If you want to have your phone really locked down tight such that it won't give up everything to anyone who connects a USB cable to it and has a few clever tools, it's inevitably going to be tough to do things like load third-party ROMs and root the phone. And it's going to be really tough to do any of those things and also maintain that security against hostile physical access.

Did you install a custom bootloader to load your ROM and root apps? Cool, but as a consequence of that, anyone who connects a USB cable to your phone can get into anything in it. Does it supposedly have security? Wanna bet the quality of any security in a homemade app vs Google's best efforts?
Is there even a point to benchmarking boot up time when you can't rely on it being consistent? Sure, it may be thirty seconds ninety percent of the time but the other ten percent it takes ten minutes because it decided installing an update is more important than whatever you wanted to use your computer for. I would never, ever tolerate a Windows 10 machine being the only computer in the house. There's too many times I need something right now and I have to do it with my phone because Microsoft is too busy fellating itself. This problem becomes exponentially worse on any machine that spends most of its time shut down, like a travel laptop.
There's no harm in engine braking if you shift correctly and mate your RPMs to the next gear.
Humans make mistakes. Well designed systems are resilient to those mistakes. That doesn't mean prompting after every single command, which as you point out would be super annoying, but it does mean making operations reversible unless there is a very good reason they cannot be. Essentially every system designed in the last few decades has a concept of a 'recycle bin' or undo feature for deletions at least for a short window of time.
I do not read a reasonable distrust of the government and one's fellow man to be discouraging. Inevitable is a strong perspective but anticipating tail events is not. Civilization is overdue for mean reversion. Life is unlikely to be above the historical average forever.
To answer you question it really depends what kind of projects do you have in mind and the organisation structure and the market.

Outside academic world, testing (part of software development lifecycle) depends on the type of projects, the organisational structure and the market. It it is influenced a lot by company quality definition (even if not defined properly, informal) which is highly correlated with market expectations about quality.

Of course one can choose to follow some testing principles and apply them everywhere, but I think a testing strategy should be chosen first based on project needs and then based on knowledge of the developers.

Just to give some examples:

For example if you work in web design for a consultancy it might be that you will focus on a niche so probably the projects will look similar. In this case unit tests should not be different between projects, except when the client has different quality requirements or expectations.

If you work for a product oriented company and lets say you have feature teams then probably unit tests will look similar between feature teams working on high level features but different than for the teams working on performance oriented or low level features.

If you switch companies then I think unit testing might look different as they approach software development (and so testing) and market differently, by focusing on different attributes/decisions that they think will give them leverage.

Also, in the specific case you mention (mockist vs classicist) I see a difference of the outcome of testing when applying one or the other on testing pure functions vs impure functions.

Why do you consider this distinction as being fundamental on how people approach unit testing?

And - just out of curiosity - what do you think is the difference between mockist and classicist?
Incorrect uses of “trolling” many times more popular than accurate ones, several headlines for years have suggested
Yeah, that's a dick move from the dog owner for sure.

But, it's both not out of the realm of something you should probably expect from public features and also probably not harmful enough to swear off of them.

Accusations of scamming are serious. What evidence do you have? None as far as I can see. This is wrong and should be remedied.
Good catch, it sure reads like an editing error for "not likely", meaning the opposite of what it says.
> If you apply only rear brake, it will cause the rear wheels to pull their suspension downwards tipping the car rearward somewhat.

Are you sure? I'm trying to draw a free body diagram of that, and I get a net moment tipping the car forward. Can you explain it using physics principles?

> Try this on a bicycle if you have the time.

You can't easily compare because the rear wheel easily skids with a fraction of the braking force the front wheel can take.
Conversely I usually get the insurance when I rent U-Hauls. It's pretty cheap and I feel like it's pretty tough driving a big, bulky truck with poor visibility and a heavy load. A Camry? No thanks, I'll just use my personal auto insurance / credit card insurance.

It's not, but there's currently no way to evaluate if it's fair on a case-by-case basis, and there's opposition to that for various reasons.

Generalizations hurt, and saying all trans athletes threaten women's sports isn't fair. Saying that there's potential for abuse would be more accurate.

Ask HN: Are Dishwashing Machines Bullshit?
When I was a kid, we had a dishwashing machine. It wasn't good enough that you could just put the dishes in after eating, you had to pre-clean them.
I don't remember exactly how long it took, but it was at least 30 minutes.

As an adult, I've never owned one, and since becoming responsible enough to clean my dishes frequently, I've never seen the point in owning a dishwasher. I don't think I'm getting sick or anything from my hand washed dishes.

Is there real value in a dishwasher that I'm not understanding?

A huge reason why undoing things in Git get needlessly confusing is using merge commits in the first place. I've always advocated ONLY squash commits to master. It makes things much, much easier to understand, and much, much easier to undo things with equally easy to understand regular git reverts.
I’m pretty sure I’d find that way less appealing than the current situation.

I want to see a curated feed of what’s most interesting (as gauged by any system that can approximately judge for me, and a good one is what other people engaged with).

I discover other Twitter accounts to follow via sharing/commenting/follower graphs.

It’s why I read the top news (/news) here and not /newest. I don’t want to miss my cousin’s cute baby pic or my niece’s graduation pics or other popular posts just because trolls forced a order by id desc onto a weak product owner.

If other people get wrapped around axles over political, religious, or cultural posts, so be it. I go to social media to see interesting things.
This comment makes me want to read a book about distributed systems.
Yes. Once I passed a certain threshold of comfortable income, and it was certainly less than anything to be found in Silicon Valley, money stopped being any motivation to me at all. What's the point of going from "comfortable plus ten percent" to "comfortable plus five hundred percent"? That's not worth one single headache, let alone a mental breakdown.
This seems silly -- a small earthquake can cause catastrophic damage to just one house if that one house is unlucky.
Well, the truly devious thing is to do what Rails does and have a second, fake, method field in the request body to designate the "intended" HTTP method not supported by the browser/intermediaries.

I agree with other commenters that the whole thing is rather silly.
I think the more interesting question is how much human context is necessary in decreasing accident rates. The signal question and tunnel answer hinted at that. Some context is very local and some context is general at the level of humans.

Examples: human eyes will have trouble adjusting to the sudden darkness of tunnels so some people will tend to brake suddenly; that person looks old and will probably have slower reaction times so watch out for the upcoming sharp turn; that person looks like they are on their phone and may cross the lane suddenly; watch out for this intersection because young humans cross it after school without looking so slow down below the speed limit.

This human understanding doesn’t seem to be directly represented by the system without explicit architecting on their part. A more general intelligence would begin to automatically learn these. A human intelligence would automatically model these or learn from experience or read about it.

As mentioned, the current system has some advantages over humans: more eyes, doesn’t get tired or distracted, faster reaction time. I guess we shall see when these advantages cover up the disadvantages.
How could the drive know? TRIM commands are the only way to "free" a sector/block for writing. The drive might have been tested during setup, so the block might not be empty any more.

Fair point. I didn't intend to counter OP, but a general sentiment in tech. Could have made it clearer.

Actually we don't know that. Tech is usually a collaborative field. And the line between auto-exploitation and allo-exploitation is often blurry. The very least through not taking care of oneself in a balanced fashion they've distributed that cost to the insurance payers, their family and even their team through their absence. The word individual means indivisible, not isolated.
It's because insulting the rival camp prompts insults in the opposite direction and now the first camp feels obliged to respond. The art of trolling is finding a topic that offends the biggest number of participants. The curve of engagement, i.e. the number of agitated people over time, probably looks like a gaussian. This would be an interesting topic to research, something that would make social studies a science.
If professional swimming or track "benefits society", why doesn't the government fund it directly? That's how it works in most other countries. Why are universities shouldering that burden?

> it's telling that you think courts are objective...

So, if you think that the court system, with it's experts, and centuries of experience, with fallbacks and checks and balances, with emphasis on applying the law with regard to precedent and societal input, with appeals and formal processes that must be followed ... is unable to be objective, what makes you think that random people with an actual specified bias is more objective?

I dunno about you, but I'll take my chances in court over someone who literally shouts their bias to the world any day.

All the arguments for mob justice that you are attempting to make are the same arguments the KKK made for their justice.
I believe they are actually just stacked.
I don't think it's silly at all, although there are probably other ways to do it (license plates are a known size, so they could be used for calibration... to some extent). In fact, I think going to a sort of mapping solution where some portion of the Teslas on the road provide mapping data (using just calibrated vision) may be appropriate. If the reason you aren't using maps as an extra layer of capability is just because of the cost of mapping, then using Teslas to provide mapping capability "for free" is a good solution.

The argument may be that humans do fine without mapping, but that's not strictly true. Humans remember and anticipate the road based on past memory. When there's a change in the road due to construction, there's often a sign placed to warn drivers of the change in traffic pattern, showing that humans definitely at least partially rely on "mapping," so it could help even a pure vision system.
Okay? Whether you think it's ableist or not doesn't change the fact that it's likely illegal. There's definitely good grounds for a lawsuit for violating the ADA, IMO, but IANAL.

And I personally think violating the ADA is ableist, is all I meant.

Sitting ducks? You have any idea how hard it is to find a carrier if you don't already know where to look? The ocean is a pretty big place, carriers move pretty quickly, and spy satellites only have a relatively narrow cone of view with enough resolution to detect one from orbit.

Even if you found one visually, guiding a missile to accurately strike a moving carrier is extremely difficult. It's one reason China's much touted "carrier killer" missiles are less of a threat than the Chinese would like. While they could theoretically sink a carrier they rely on a complex system of satellites and radar to guide a missile in, disruption of any one piece of that system (remember the US has successfully tested anti-satellite weapons) and you won't be scoring any hits. Never mind the multi-layered missile defense systems that all carrier battle groups run with, which wouldn't be a guarantee but would have a chance. The most those missiles would is force the carriers to stay further away from the Chinese coast, which given the range of modern aircraft isn't that much of a burden if we're talking sea control.

As for naval combat, there's no combination of ships in any country's Navy that can hope to stand up to the US Navy in a protracted conflict. US carriers have undisputed rule of the seas for at least the next three decades, even against the likes of China/Russia.
> That's enough of a barrier that social media would go back to being reasonably decent.

When has social media been "reasonably decent", I think that "boomers, karens, nontrolls and the moderate" crowd have forgotten how the internet really was before social media gave them everything they wanted.

SOrry but just no like the actual things that you used to see on the old internet were too much compared to today's mild trolling just as an evidence see all the left and right wing pundits pruned from leedit. SOcial media was never supposed to be a calm place, it was supposed to be dangerous and fun.

If anything we dont have to make the internet like that, instead we require a solution analogous to this

People seem to be in a permanent state of lump-of-labor fallacy and not understanding comparative advantage. The current one is thinking we'll run out of jobs because of AI. (Their scenarios seem to end up with a few rich business guy types owning all the AIs and trading with each other while the rest of the world is somehow unemployed - which I'm pretty sure was the plot of Atlas Shrugged.)
This is pretty standard: the Tesla charging screen shows this while charging.
I agree with your point in the sense that popularity shouldn't be the overall guide on the law - morality should play a role.

But there is a very practical point that if the "governed" are not listening, than the "governor" had better! Revolutions and civil wars have occurred over such.

Also too often "popular" is conflated with "visible/noisome support". See the gay marriage here in Australia. Lots of noise on both sides, it took a referendum to prove that 61% supported it.

Aside: my experience is it has been socially unacceptable to drink drive for 25+ years for everyone I know. You and I are having different life experiences!
