I think you've missed my point,

> Glocks are still not unpredictable by my metric. [...] it’s not going to go bang without a trigger press. It’s a very predictable firearm in that way.

I agree with this completely. Glocks are predictable. Where we part ways is that I don't believe predictability is the metric that should be optimized for. People not getting shot is the important metric; predictability is only important insofar as it relates to that. But as demonstrated by glocks, predictability is not the end-all-be-all when it comes to people not accidentally shooting themselves.

As for soldiers in WWII, they also had piss-poor to non-existent trigger discipline. A 1911 is a safer gun than a glock due to the manual safety, but still won't protect you from handling it in unsafe ways. Glocks have that same problem, but worse because they lack manual safeties which function as one last line of defense when you fuck up everything else.
I wonder how they'll do, having muscle-learned the yoke, to go back to a traditional car steering wheel.

Software engineers (including me) tend to forget what the labor market is like outside our own bubbles. Most people can’t do things we take for granted like hop to a better paying job when they get bored/unhappy.
Pain is a subjective experience. It requires a self to feel it.

No central nervous system does imply no mind to feel pain.

If you were to scoop my brain out of my body and keep my lower body alive below the neck the nervous system would not feel pain as there is no mind to feel it.
This is what Sweden did 50 years ago. My Vespa broke down on the way to Paris. I needed money, so I just went to the
Göteborg employment office and got a job and an apartment. But all this is now gone. They have huge homeless problem among older ethnic Swedes especially. Because this is HN, I wont go into details and causes and consequences...
>isn't this mainly because paying in anything other then the national currency is illegal in most western nations?

I can offer you 10 chickens to dig a trench, nothing illegal about that. You'd have to pay income tax tho, and the IRS does not accept (fractions of) chickens.
I'm not sure about that because places like Japan, Korea and the UAE are very ethnically homogeneous, but my impression is that they are quite individualistic. Although from skimming Wikipedia, Korea and Japan have extremely low levels of homelessness so maybe there is a link!
But your really can’t. GDP per capita doesn’t capture so many parameters and conditions (like being landlocked surrounded by wealthy countries that use you as a de-facto tax haven)
Or you’d just be evolving the plants toward communicating more clearly, ala cat meows (which don’t exist in adult cats for any other reason than to allow communication with humans.)

They should show the results broken down by age. I think you'll see the vast majority of happy respondents being baby boomers.
Last office had a team with 5-years of well planned out sprints. I could never dissuade them from the notion that this was "agile". They didn't use the end of each sprint to change direction if a problem was coming up, sticking to the plan for months after things started going wrong. Then they sat down and redid the next 4 years or so of sprints. Repeated after the next year. I guess it was more agile than making a 5-year plan and never changing it, but changing the plan annually is hardly responsive either.
> Marketing tells you that this particular non-stick pan is the pan you’ll use to make omelette...

Exactly this. I'm Chinese but I didn't look into Chinese cooking until recently, and here's the thing: You can cook hundreds of different Chinese cuisine, and eat them perfectly with several simple tools. It's an example of one-size-fits-all that actually works, and works really well.

Everything will be sliced and chopped with a single cleaver, from home cook to professional food carving. Wok for most of the things, from deep/stir/pan-frying, to boiling and steaming (with a small rack). Everybody knows how to coat them and make them practically non-stick. And of course the obligated chopsticks for most of the things. . What about soup? Just pick up the bowl to drink. Not like most one-size-fits-all solutions, they are not clunky at all and I rarely wanted to reach for more tools.

Funnily though, the gadget culture/marketing/consumerism didn't stop in China. A lot of families, like mine, for example, are still convinced to buy a lot of kitchen gadgets even though most of them are never used twice.
Currently people experiencing homelessness can effectively sleep anywhere without being sweeped by the city. The police department lets me know they cannot physically move the tents without an eviction process and can only issue a misdemeanor which only entails fines that these people most likely will not pay anyway. The police department lets me know this is Chessea Boudin’s policy and that all they can do without a court order is ask the homeless people to move nicely. By Fulton and Great Highway there are often lines of cars to buy drugs from people living in this one RV who apparently have a “right” to be there. Police state the individuals turn down the help offered by the homeless outreach team. The individuals turn the area into a literal dump, junk yard, and trap.

(I’m aware I’ll be down voted by people who do not live here, haven’t had to call the cops for help themselves, and think I am just exaggerating)
Well you put it much better than I could have. I had come to say the same
Long ago, my dad checked out of news media entirely, and the effect on his mental health was incredible. Personally, I don't think I can turn a blind eye to the rest of the world, but IME those that do are generally much happier.

i actually live here, no homelessness has been ended.
Does any of this make sense to you? curious
Because when you start digging behind the marketing at Purism a lot of what they say and do are often two different things.
The big difference between typical pro races and the Olympics is that in the Olympics the riders don’t race with radios, which made this situation possible. In a typical pro race, the team director would be telling his riders there is still someone up the road.

> Some criticism of Acoup's analysis of their combat performance. All of the defeats listed are either not infantry battles or ones where Sparta was heavily outnumbered.

It cuts both ways. Classic example is Thermopylae. The total number of Greeks is estimated to be between 5200 and 7700, but you very rarely hear any number higher than 300. The Spartan fame was manufactured, for example by historians like Herodotus.

Why does one have to resort to cherry picking to prove Spartan military excellence? Why aren't they self-evident?
Class ambivalence? Who is upper class here? Jeff Bezos? He was born to single mother out of wedlock in highschool. Or is class something you can buy your way into now?

It's disingenuous for the article to claim does that ICE engineers are replaced by software engineers.

Now-days if you want to make a fuel efficient engine you have to use software modeling and simulation. Maybe people who are close to retirement age are still hands on but industry have switched to CAD/CAM decades ago and is not going back.

Engineers who are verse in CAD/CAM can switch to designing castings, optimizing cooling and heating, and improve part integration.

> It would be cheaper to rent apartments at current market rates, even in San Francisc

Indeed it would, but that is not a realistic option. These are high needs groups, many with severe mental disorders and drug addictions.

It is an embarrassment that we don't have better infrastructure to serve these groups, but it's tough renting out market rate apartments to serve them. Landlords of course have to agree.

SF is able to do this with custom-built housing, or Project Roomkey, but it's not like we can find 4,500 private apartments where landlords will happily put up a schizophrenic guy with a meth addiction.

It's also worth pointing out that $60k for these sites is not just payment for shelter. It includes three meals a day, social services, security, sanitation.
It’s not GDP/per capita, but total GDP. To say the USA earns more of its GDP from natural resource extraction than Finland does is completely meaningful if the claim being shot down is “Finland can only afford these programs (and the USA cannot) because of all the money they are making from natural resources.”

Australian has become heavily influenced by US TV over the past few decades. I think it's OK...as the result is hardly universal.

My otherwise awesome US girlfriend is indeed offended* by Australianisms in my speech. Nevertheless she has unwittingly absorbed some terms like brekky and duna.

* literally offended sometimes. The other day I learnt about one: using the word "mummy" when speaking to her kids. Apparently where she grew up (Manhattan) the word was used as a pretentious (or pejorative) word. How would I have known that? And how would she have known my use was innocent?
The last time I paid attention to statistics, in Norway the migrants were a small minority of inhabitants but large majority of all crimes.

As a note, the people who like to "do crime" for some reason are not willing to move up north and prefer to stay in Oslo.
That's not really the Apple playbook.

Apple's moves tend to have a background of reason:
The Headphone jack removal allowed for the Taptic Engine on the 7. It was a halo item for reviews when they added it. The Brick removal was an E-Waste concern that all other brands are following.

(This does not ignore the upside to Apple with the Airpods and Wall adaptors, just that there is grey here)

Then there were the prior items:
Removing Apple Serial (iMac) was super controversial, it led to USB being mainstream.
Removing the CD Drive on the MacBook air directly led to 10 hour battery life laptops.
Removing full size ports on laptops led to a more versatile port and charging situation (if not less convenient)

Apple's moves have advantages.

This wheel is just Sci-Fi theater that doesn't do anything better.

Elon doesn't play 4D chess. Hell, he disbanded Tesla's entire PR department.

I personally think it’s terribly ugly and somewhat impractical as a work truck. But forget what I think: Tesla has in the past adopted an attitude of “let’s make electric cars look like really attractive but conventional non-EV cars”, and it’s worked for them (and for me.) The new approach flies directly in the face of that. It’s an experiment that might succeed brilliantly or fail brilliantly, whereas a more conventional approach would probably have succeeded just as well without the failure probability. For the reasons I stated above, I think it’s a bad thing for Tesla to bet its future on such weird, risky gambles at this stage in the company’s adoption strategy.
You really think that economies of scale are some kind of myth?
It wasn't that long ago when there were only 4 unique keys in the world and a thief had a skeleton key that would replace them all. In those days nobody locked their door because there was no point. As lock technology got better people in places of crime installed good locks and told their friends to do the same. Most people have no need to lock their door, but nobody knows if they are the exception.
I don’t have latest update on Tesla’s right-to-repair in the aftermarket case, the yoke steering wheel replacement with the practical one - makes perfect business idea to pursue
Have you heard of Section 8? There are landlords who specialize in such programs - the benefits are quite compelling for the right cashflow setup, taking the Finnish model as the example: you rent to the NGO that has government backing (e.g. risk of nonpayment goes to near zero), the NGO assumes all risk and is responsible for the unit. That’s a pretty great deal compared to the Landlord being responsible for vacancy, individual tenant management, etc.
That happens to me all the time in the stock market and I don't have close to 1MM
I find these polls are biased and not represent equally well the entire spectrum of population. I am from Greenboro, WI and I can tell you it’s the opposite among the population in the areas I grew up. Most young people like me who had more than a high school degree have moved away and ones that are left there are either in some kind of struggling business or are plain into dark places dealing with addictions (alcohol and opioid).
Even people like me who did move to the cities, I don’t see how the optimism can be so high. I mean I work in tech and have pretty much accepted that I am forever priced out of the housing market I am in. The school district system of where I live also doesn’t look very promising so my kids will have a better education (and future). Starting a family with a single income in Bay Area, meeting ends meet is hard even with a tech job.

Like every other news these days, I take these polls with a grain of salt.
One part was the fake shingle demo.
The visibility of gauges issue is a real concern - I've been fluxxomed by this for all cars I've driven in recent history, where I can't see various gauges due to the top of the wheel blocking them.

Having been an engineer subject to the ebb and flow you speak of, it really felt like the company had no direction. Just when you found the time to finally focus on an important and inspiring piece of the product some initiative would appear and kill all the momentum. If felt like we could never actually develop the product, just ship MVPs and then chase the next shiny thing.

Your insight is interesting. While I mostly considered it leadership’s failure to provide focus, you could definitely observe the difference between areas of the company that had strong product leaders who could stand up to frivolous executives, and those that just parroted the next initiative without any real ability to prioritize and develop product.
Not saying she shouldn't had won, but when nobody is pursuing you, it is much easier to win.

She certainly benefited from a mistake by the other competitors, but “much easier” is surely a big exaggeration. You could equally well say it’s much harder to win the race when you’re out by yourself, with nobody to chase, nobody to set the pace, and no pack to draft with.

If she hadn’t cycled the race of her life, she would have been caught.
>if they knew their true positions it's possible the outcome could've been different.

That is part of the sport. riders keep up with time gaps on boards from the motos, they go back to their team car for information (and water), count the riders getting brought back, they talk with their team mates or even other teams about the situation. Radioless races are run differently, but the favourites forgetting the road leader is not common and embarrassing.
Being a pro athlete competing and winning at an event like Olympics and pursing a post doc in a tough field like mathematics is an achievement lot more interesting than whether she is really amateur
Yeah, and usually more constraint in capabilities.
The same question goes to politicians: I appreciate you're for all the good and against all the evil. But if you want to achieve something you'll have to compromise. Where do you see this compromise to happen? Are you willing to give up on "undocumented migrant rights" for your UBI pet project? Will you soften your stance on mandatory school prayers to avoid tax hikes?
That’s great. At my previous job priority “high” was “maybe in a few months if things magically slow down” and medium and below was basically never getting touched.

I think most people just wanted to join because they thought they'd get private access to Elon Musk. Instead, they got the social network equivalent of Qibi.
Some additional context for those who don't follow professional cycling: the Dutch women's team was incredibly strong coming into this road race. All 4 riders on their team are stars in their own right, and the only reason there wasn't a clear favorite for the race overall is that people weren't sure which Dutch rider would win.

So you have a complicated group dynamic, where the majority of the peloton has no interest in pulling the group to catch the break, since they would just get beat by one or more of the Dutch riders, and the Dutch riders didn't seem to have a clear plan on how to control the race and who would sacrifice their chances and work on the front for the rest of the team.

As others have said, there were no radios allowed for riders in the race, so all information about the breakaway came from the race director's car trailing the peloton. This was a well known fact about the race coming in, and it's the same way that the annual World Championship race is run. It's normal for riders to drop back to the team car to get information about the break, and the lead moto for a group of cyclists will occasionally show time gaps on a whiteboard.

At least one of the Dutch riders claimed to have known about the lone rider off the front [1], but somehow that information didn't make it to the rest of the team. It seems that most of the peloton didn't know (or didn't care) how many riders were up the road, and the Dutch team failed to communicate amongst themselves and establish a plan.

All that leads to Kiesenhofer's solo move working out. All credit to her for an extremely strong ride.

Indeed, it may not be a coincidence that the M1 was released about the same time as Transmeta's patents expired.
Is it representative to hand out $1K or $500 a month? It doesn't sound like it would change much for most people, though I'm sure there's someone on some margin who gets pushed over into being able to do something they want.

The other issue is if it's not permanent, is it representative? Even if I was getting $100K a year, if it was just for a couple of years I'd behave differently from if it was guaranteed.

Thus UBI is one of those things that's hard to test by dipping your toes in.
The USN? Or some other navy? And actually, a quick shot from the hip is far worse than taking a moment to deliberately aim.
So what? You're investing to make money. For those purposes, it's much better for you if they are actually as bad or worse than any other company
Nice to know that the C version will still be maintained as well, there are systems where setting up Zig would be a hassle.

> Ncdu 2.0 doesn't work well with non-UTF-8 locales anymore, but I don't expect this to be a problem nowadays.

I can believe this, but has there been any investigation into how common non-UTF-8 locales are nowadays? GNOME has been broken with non-UTF-8 locales for years (I can find a 6-year-old bug report that still has not been resolved) so that may have pushed users that previously were using non-UTF-8 locales to UTF-8, but that is only GNOME and does not apply to users of any other environment, who may have continued using non-UTF-8 locales without issues.
Matters of taste, so yes there's a truth to what you are saying and those buildings were literally meant as aberrations on the history of the city. Brutalist vs traditional works for those cases but compare Luytens with Poundbury and its not so easy. The former invents while also making something at ease with the surroundings while the latter just reinvent with a fake version of the past.

The reason they removed the headphone jack was so that they could sell airpods.

The reason they removed the power brick was because they have a monopoly and it won't affect sales.

Tesla doing this doesn't seem as straight-forward. It surely is to reinforce their image as innovative and special (which removing headphone jack or power brick doesn't really do).
> I would assume Bell Labs would have been something like that.

Talking to people who worked there it seems it was much less so than it would appear. PARC was more like that.
> The Headphone jack removal allowed for the Taptic Engine on the 7

Most of the space that would be taken by the headphone jack in the iPhone 7 is instead taken by the utterly useless piece of plastic called "barometric vent". And it's not like Apple engineers couldn't have figured out how to combine water resistance with a headphone jack — Samsung did that somehow. Oh, and there's plenty of space inside an iPad, but newer models also come without a headphone jack. It has to be a political decision, not a practical one. As well as their insistence on keeping Lightning a thing.

This whole situation is so ridiculous at this point — the lack of a headphone jack is now considered a flagship feature. If you have a lot of money to spend on a phone, you can't not want the unreliable mess that is bluetooth, right? And before you say it: bluetooth is not a replacement for a wired connection. And, for that matter, neither is wifi a replacement for ethernet.
