He didn’t have comprehensive at all. Comprehensive is cheap with a deductible of a few hundred. People don’t forgo it unless they’re driving a junker. Reading the comments on the article, it sounds like the lack of comprehensive might have been a mistake during transferring policies between cars. If so, that’s a brutal consequence of an easy misclick or misstatement without a double check.
They do do business in the UK, as you well know.
I think some (many) blood vessel dilation meds are based on nitroglycerin :)

I certainly remember looking with great suspicion at my granddad's medicine and was very much disappointed when my attempts to light his pills on fire did not yield rapid and uncontrolled decomposition.
Is diffblue AI based or is it just property based testing? I assume that since it's limited to Java that they just decompile the opcodes and find what branches each method has and writes a test that calls each method with all possible permutations that lands down each branch.
There needs to be a path for 3rd party repair, even if it is not amateurish ( requiring expertise and/or advanced machinery )
Bicycles can also be completely blocked by the car pillars due to this effect.
It feels more like a marketing move.
I don't think GP's beef with Maps is that it's owned by Google, though I could be wrong.
They are now redefining the meaning of the word “comprehensive”…
My biggest complaint about Google Maps is the UI. Street names are difficult to read, the scale of how-far-away an upcoming turn is always off. Contrast could use improvements too.

There is also a lot of clutter.

These are traits that have all gotten worse over the years. I'd prefer the UI of the first-gen Google Maps then what we have today.

I have no complaints about the actual navigation, there has been quirks over the years but nothing that stands out in my mind.
Sparks. Every single one of their songs starts off as a meticulously crafted piece of pop perfection, then goes severely off the rails at least once. Often more.

They've been around for decades and have changed multiple times to match what currently defines "pop".
Can you list out some classic patterns that you see being ignored?
But we have a working brain to interpret those images.
I just don’t understand why people think a robot can improve on this.

If you want to save lives, lower speed limits, build out public transit, and don’t hand out drivers licenses like candy.
Yes, radar can easily detect stationary objects.

Tesla's implementation of their radar processing drops all returns from anything stationary, given the forward speed of the car. In the context of a Tesla thread, I didn't think that needed to be specifically stated, but will do so in the future.
I mean, I think Breitbart is a perfect example. I'm sure between the mounds of falsehoods and trolling they throw out, they make plenty of factually correct points. But I'm not going to validate them by reading through all of the junk just so I can find the 5% they got right and congratulate them. They are a junk publication so you just call them a junk publication and move on.

Jacobin is Breitbart on the other side of the spectrum. They don't deserve to be validated with discussion. That's my subjective opinion.
Cookie wall didn't read.

I'm so tired of those consent screens.

Call me a cynic, but I'm afraid there is not much that can be done. China certainly doesn't want a successful democracy movement in it's backyard and any western intervention would be seen as the attempt to establish a puppet government (probably rightfully so).
I think the SEC gives insiders and C-suite some kind of free pass as long as they don't time their 'overtlyoptimistic' takes on their company with their stock sales or vest.

The SEC is giving Musk free reign because they know that he can't leave the company because the two entities are so intertwined. Musk wealth is effectively just paper wealth.

The SEC doesn't care that investment bankers consider it real enough to give Musk loans for those pledged shares

They also don't care that the cult of personality he managed to create enable him to constantly not produce results and investors still give him money

In the end the SEC cares about real cash leaving the company coffins and into the owners pockets , not paper wealth swelling.

It's really a M.A.D. game between Musk and the SEC at this point...the SEC is willing to bet that it's not remotely possible that Musk lied through his teeth this whole time just to get to #1 in the paper wealth Forbes list only to implode while at the top.

Musk on the other hand doesn't strike me as a cold calculator such as Gates or Brin or Zuck, he is much more impulsive and there are non-zero chances that he did just that.
Along with the struggle for the Right to Repair, we should also organize to boycott products from companies which prevent us from repairing (or modifying!) them.
>Im "pearl clutching" because some ahole decided to put hundreds of peoples lives at risk

The fact that you're saying he put hundreds of lives at risk when a hundred is a score that a terrorist with a semi truck would be proud of and is for all practical purposes unattainable with a light vehicle does seem to point in that direction.

I'm not condoning his behavior but 1) people are jerks, what do you expect and 2) you are getting way to bent out of shape over it.

> Now we have email, and in the future we will have (actual, real) full self driving.

And yet people pick up the phone for the urgent stuff and send snail mail for the super important stuff (though the latter is changing with online forms moving into more and more areas). That says something about the true nature of technological progress. We come up with new better stuff but often old stuff keeps some niches for itself.
Honestly I’m surprised that it would be exposed like that, rather than tucked behind a panel.

The rubber fuel lines on my 1973 240z are behind a removable panel at the rear wheel. 3 screws and it’s off for access.
Death is the worst case scenario, but not the only one that we would like avoid. Having months of debilitating symptoms and possibly a lifetime of disability should be taken seriously.
> There is this whole culture of people who like to “shake up” and intentionally cause distress to others. It is generally targeted at people that they see as “weaker” than them.

Punching down is how insecure people validate their status, its not new or particularly US specific, though the particular manifestations vary by locale ans subculture.
if you finance a car, is comprehensive required?
So most of the content (images, font) is hosted elsewhere ...
My favorite is during navigation when my current location is placed 3/4 of the way across the screen, that is 3/4 of the screen is used to display the route I've already driven.
That's your estimation but we'd need to wait with actual statistics
I don’t find your site murky or scamlike because of design, honestly, that would be stupid. And if I wanted to make a scam site, I’d just copypaste Stripe or something, and I expect that from any intelligent scammer.

There is nothing wrong with it, apart from my usual criticism to landing pages like this: I still have no clue what is it for, or who I must be to use it, what exact problem I have that it could solve. But that’s in line with virtually everything. Nobody puts a history like “Tired of manually entering your invoices? Want automatic categorizing of expenses? Your bank formats are illegible crap? …” anymore.

I wonder what critics above think of e.g. curve.fi, which is serious enough to eat $1000 per transaction.

Edit: yeah, the app looks more like “modern” “design” “thing” to me, but it’s just me missing clear UI borders and color-cued sidebars and property sheets.
That's the narrative now, but a year ago there were plenty of people in the government, press and academia with a different view, https://www.ox.ac.uk/news/2020-07-08-oxford-covid-19-study-f... for example

So no source for the claim "Almost everything in America is left wing, including the republican party and USA today". Gotcha. I'm not going to continue this conversation since you are spreading unsubstantiated garbage.
> Spending money on marketing lowers prices by increasing volumes.

That explains why they do it, but not why it's useful to the public. Marketing isn't necessarily a zero sum game, but it in the case of direct-to-consumer drug advertisments, it's pretty close.
Plus the Volvo’s radar-brake was disabled so they could test the vision system.
Electrek is a very biased website in favor of electric vehicles so it makes sense they would say positive things about Tesla.

Also, the first sentence of that article is about how this is only a thing in Massachusetts because of right to repair laws.

If Tesla could, they would brick or make certain systems not operational if you don't use first party parts.
What Makes Ghibli Storytelling So Different?
The Netherlands just tried reopening, in two weeks they managed to undo seven months of lockdown as far as caseload goes. The infections are overwhelmingly amongst teens and people in their twenties (over 90% of new cases), who have not yet had their second shot or opted for Jansen vaccine, which doesn't protect as well as the others.

It would be very unwise for England or any other nation to follow in the Dutch footsteps.
> If you look in the past history of language features that are being added or might be added (e.g. generics) you can find a whole lot of past explanation of why the language doesn't need those features in the name of simplicity and why the reader just doesn't understand the brilliance of Rob Pike.

Isn't this just nutpicking[0]? You have that with every language. I can criticize C++ on proggit right now and 3 or 4 people will respond "C++ has every language feature, just use the ones you want/like/etc and ignore the others, your problems are invalid!". Similarly, on an OCaml forum I can find a dozen people who tell me if Jane Street hasn't run into my problem before and solved it, then it's not a real problem and I'm dumb for trying to do it. I can post here or on r/rust (or proggit) and people will tell me that Rust is strictly faster/easier to develop with than any GC language because in the worst case you can always throw `Rc<T>` on everything. I can post on r/python about how hard it is to optimize Python and people will tell me I'm dumb and I can just use multiprocessing, rewrite the slow bits in C/Cython/etc, use numpy/pandas/etc. I can merely register for an account on a Java forum and be berated for my low intelligence. :)

> The principle is entirely correct, but its fucking weird that a programming language needs to have a list of "proverbs".

I don't feel as strongly as you do, but I agree that proverbs and analogies are pretty low quality and invite more confusion than they address. Probably only a rung above analogies and a rung below quotations.

The problem is interruptions, not my ability to focus.

The problem is Product demanding estimates, not my ability to estimate in the midst of uncertainty and ask questions to reduce it.

The problem is Java, C, or whatever "legacy" technology is being used. Despite the fact that the whole world runs on it.
The original CORS protection is enforced by the browser, not the server. That means that it is much harder for it to cause a privacy problem. Given that this only works if you are using a browser anyway (any other user agent can spoof all this) I don't see how there can be any security gain from the server doing the enforcement. Which leaves me wondering whether the increased flexibility is worth the potential privacy issue.
I think there is a general tendency and trend for companies to infantilize users. "This repair is too complex" or "This UI is too complicated". Dumbing down things to its detriment is how we operate these days. We constantly underestimate how everyone to used read Telephone books and Yellow pages - that kind of density and "complexity" would get shot down by designers today. Similar trends are going on in hardware design - design for maintanability is dying or dead. Partly due to aforementioned reasons and partly due to how cheap we've made everything (imported goods from China). When a kitchen mixer costs $1200, you betchya there are going to be shops that can fix it. I've worked in this area and you'd be amazed how engineers and designers choose to use ultrasonic welding to shave off 40 cents worth of fasteners. It's a no brainer and no one bats an eye. Unrepairability is deeply seeded from college education, corporate blue books, professionals, consumers, lawmakers to the supply chain, vendors, contracts, etc. I am glad we're talking about it.
Your input is invaluable, thanks. Honestly, I appreciate it

I see that your comment got the most upvotes here, so it IS what I needed to hear.

At least I won't need to change a lot in the product itself as it actually has a rather boring and standard design: https://imgur.com/a/KabWkNS

I think we'll go with your idea of changing the brand and the landing. Might help.
Can I ask, would a transgender person who speaks some Russian be able to reasonably safely go to Russia? I've practically almost been lynched in the USA so I am wary. I carry a gun and would feel pretty naked without it.

Pro: I used to live on the street so I don't think I would be too phased by anything like average Americans.

So, you think it's a good idea?
As an English first speaker, I didn't even notice it when reading. It's a somewhat odd phrasing (yet not exceptionally so) but still makes sense.

I find though that it's impossible to read cursive (hand-written) Chinese unless you've written a lot yourself (with the correct stroke order). Read printed Chinese and type using pinyin, sure. Read hand-written Chinese - no way.

Best Why Buy Gmail Accounts Tips You Will Read This Year
Sure, except Tesla has a history of performing just as janky repairs on their cars themselves. Its even stated in the article.[0]

Another question to consider is why the repair is 16k. Does is actually cost Tesla that much or do they just quote that much because they are realistically the only ones who can fix it so they can charge the price?

Driving around with a shoddy fix on a combustion engine can be just as dangerous. Yet, there are plenty independent mechanics that do a great job because they have access to OEM parts and manuals.

When a company like Apple says that only their app store can run on iPhones, HN crowd usually sides with Apple, with the justification that "It is a free market. People can buy another phone if they don't like it." Why doesn't the same principle apply here? If your car company does not offer the right to repair, then buy another car. What is the difference? Both are instances of big companies gating access to their devices.
> If you aren't using the patent you should not be allowed to force other companies to pay you for it

Companies like ARM would not be able to exist under the system you propose. Their whole business model is creating patents and licensing them to others instead of using the patents themselves.

Preventing companies like ARM from licensing their patents would only benefit incumbents like Intel who can afford the massive amounts of investment required to turn those patents into chips.

Usually full coverage is required for buying a car with a loan. Under the idea that the bank wants their asset protected. Lease rules may be different and may be more exploitative.

The article says that the vehicle is leased. That means that the lessor might be in for a rude surprise when he turns in the car at the end of the lease... Tesla will see the untested third-party repair and assess him for the cost of reversing this repair and for fixing the problem their way.

Right to repair makes sense, but only for products you own.

The general public does have the honor of being part of the beta test, in that they play the role of obstacles.
I second that, but in Europe please. Thanks!
I fail to see how right-to-repair reform would have changed this situation. Tesla's fix was too expensive so the customer went elsewhere... and got it fixed. Problem solved.
The article recommends CBP, which is listed there. (Perhaps this is because DHS is a department, not an agency?)

False. Although there are differences between military and civilian communication styles, tactlessness ain't it.
If they had true agency the US would drop the sanctions and let them do as they please. Unfortunately the US loves to have a finger in every pie, and blaming the local population isn't the answer.
A section of Java code with a data race can’t break anything that the same section of code couldn’t have been rewritten to intentionally break without using a data race. For example: it might throw an exception, loop infinitely, or return valid values that the programmer didn’t expect; but it cannot corrupt the internal state of the JVM, violate type-safety, fiddle with private fields, or access data that isn’t reachable from its own variables. Data races cannot be used to violate a security barrier between mutually untrusting sections of Java code.
We do a pretty good job of isolating certain freeways. There are freeways where I almost certainly never have to worry about a kid chasing a ball into the road and potentially hitting them, because there are 15ft walls on either side of the road, and it doesn't go through residential areas.

I could see some stretches of highways becoming automation friendly, but it wouldn't be anywhere near even a tenth of them.
Would you mind elaborating what you meant with that comment? What are the "10-40 per acre benefits"?
It's true, but uninteresting. Insisting on this truth is harmful, because it makes an assumption that people can just choose to eat less without any negative consequences. People love pretending that calories in is simply a matter of rational choice, not a complex result of our inner machinery.

We are biological machines, and the amount we eat is biologically determined by our bodies (assuming food is widely available). We can somewhat influence that with rational thought, but to a limited degree, just like we can choose to breathe in faster or slower, but we can't maintain that for any length of time.
One problem with emojis is the inconsistency of the faces across devices and services. Not to mention people have different interpretations. Tone indicators are much more clear in my opinion.

Nevertheless I expect to see business / formal language to use more and more emoji in the coming years. It’ll happen slowly, but surely.

Part of it is the English-as-a-second-language vibe. "Privacy-first money tracker" feels very clumsy to me as a native speaker, and I have zero interest in giving my financial credentials to an open-source product that... I also have to pay for?

Bottom line: financial products require an incredibly high degree of trust for most people, and this feels very much like the work of a sincere developer working alone and without a lot of product design experience. All the little issues (copy, design, presentation, unknown solo developer) that would be forgivable in a product of any other kind become red flags and deal breakers when my finances are concerned.

I hope this is helpful feedback! Keep on building!

meanwhile in LA, at least half the people are still wearing masks outside. whatever floats your boat, but i can't help but shake my head each time. if folks really wanted the mask for more than performative reasons, they'd wear it at home and at friends homes. how many maskers actually did that? probably less than 1%, even though that's where it would have the most effect. waiting for that study, though i don't have high hopes since it'd counter the prevailing mediopolitical narrative.

Tesla can easily filter these cases out, automatically. They have triggers to catch things they want (e.g sudden lane changes) and campaigns have conditions too (only from prudent drivers, if lane change is forced, etc). FSD does not learn from all drivers all the time.
People will very much use organizing features if you provide them. Whether it's groups for icons, folders for files, labels for e-mails, tags and colors for documents, or drawers for socks - most people seem to recognize that being organized is a virtue, and will attempt it to the extent it is possible and convenient.

Not giving features for self-organization is a choice.
If you want to encourage people to be less tactful with you, there is a wrong way to do so and there is a right way to do so.

The wrong way is to get impatient with their attempts at tact and act as if they would given additional time and patience, be more manipulative. This assumes that manipulation requires more space & time because it is highly intentional. In my experience, most manipulative speech is a fast emotional (perhaps system 1) reaction to a situation where a fearful speaker is desperately trying to establish control of the outcome of an interaction. It often strives to protect the speaker’s own ego.

Tact is exerting the mental effort to be clear about what one is not trying to say about someone else's ego while being clear about what one is trying to say about the facts of a situation. If you try to get others to be tactless by impatience, their fact-clarity will drop alongside their ego-preservation.

So if you wish another to speak with less tact, the right way to do that is to set them at ease by saying things that indicate you have a low ego attachment to the topic and that you are willing to re-think your own beliefs. Then, they can redirect their mental RAM to creating increased fact-clarity.

In short: Send signals that you are in "scout mindset" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3MYEtQ5Zdn8.
