In addition to not betting on evs, Toyota along with many other car makers fail to understand the human desire for safety and convenience in their vehicles through the use of current camera technologies and computer applications.

A typical Tesla vehicle has 8 cameras thus providing a 360 degree vision to help assist the car/driver in a few applications. Security, safety and convenience.

A close second in terms of safety systems is Subaru with their eyesight features.

My personal experience and testing of my Toyota Sienna van’s PCS, otherwise known as a pre-collision system to assist in applying the brakes and or warn the driver that an object is detected in close proximity to the vehicle during moving speed, is almost absent. The system is too slow, delayed or late. Sense of safety from the pcs is non-existent.

These along with others things pushes me to have a greater interest in cars like Tesla despite it’s premium price.

At this point, we should point out that now there are such thing as smart cars (Tesla) vs dumb cars (toyota) and others and that safety should not be a second class feature but should be prioritized through the use of current camera technologies. Other than focusing on just the safety of a vehicle during a collision, although important, systems to prevent collisions should be prioritized as well.

APIs should never be removed. Imagine what would happen if Linux deleted functions like mmap() and read() because Linus thought he built something better? If Google Cloud wants to be more than a commodity substrate for running Linux VMs then they should make the same level of commitment to stability.

> Clearly yes. If your body is destroyed, I will stop experiencing your thoughts and your senses, and vice versa.

Well, assuming a copy of my mind was being perfectly executed by some machine, that would mean that even if my body is destroyed, along with the sensations and thoughts coming from the copy of my brain residing in my body, the machine copy will still continue to feel perceptions (through machine sensors or through your body) and think my thoughts. This would be roughly similar to losing a hand or an eye today - it is a loss, but it does not fundamentally affect your sense of you.

> As it stands, there is no account of what is the thing that persists through deep sleep, or more broadly, of why there is sentience to begin with.

Physics in general has no notion of anything persisting - as far as all our physics is concerned, there are just instants of time (and space) that influence each other (from past to future) but are otherwise separate. The same is true of course in space - there is no physical account for "an object". At the macroscopic level every "object" can be equivalently modeled by smaller pieces held together by various forces. At the quantum level, elementary particles are indivisible, but also indistinguishable: there is no distinction between saying "this electron moved from atom 1 to atom 2" and "the electron in atom 1 disappeared and a new electron appeared in atom 2".

Of course, this may mean that our account of nature is missing something much more basic than consciousness (persistence / the flow of time). Or, it may mean that identity is a fundamentally meaningless notion, an unnecessary (in the logical sense) heurisitc that evolution has bred into us because it is useful for predicting the behavior of the macro world.

I'd dare say that the growth of DuckDuckGo, Apple, and a number of different VPN services are proving that consumers are highly interested in privacy and don't want to be tracked everywhere. This is also reenergizing the subscription vs ad revenue debate, particularly for big companies that have a vested interest, or, 30%, for pushing subscriptions.

To save anyone clicks: Those submissions were about gender and trans and sex, and at least one of them had an outrageous click-baity title.

Look, I've submitted stories about sex and gender, as well. Many got flagged. Some didn't and led to productive discussions.

It's very hit-and-miss, very luck-dependent.

And it's no use getting worked up about it, because you don't need "flagging gangs" for that. Many HNers flag those stories by default and on sight, without any coordination. If you cannot live with that, submit other topics.
Sitting in the US EVs seem like the clear winner. I was shocked too learn that there are no Toyota EVs because they somehow thought hydrogen was the future. I expected more from my most trusted car company. A recent visit to Germany made me less certain. I saw and drove in quite a few hydrogen-powered Mirais. Of course my short experience there isn't representative at all. It's hydrogen bigger elsewhere? Might we see a future where the US had predominantly EVs and Japan and/or Europe hydrogen cars?
Maybe they didn't look for it?
Nah. My home internet is originally Dual-Stack lite IPv6 mainly with IPv4 being tunneled over an Enterprise-like NAS (so my outgoing IPv4 connections share the address with other users).

I just switched to full dual stack (by leasing a static IPv4 address from my provider) to be able to handle incoming connections for my VPN. As long as you don't want to host anything on IPv4, dual stack lite is fine.
I still think Plato invented Socrates. If Socrates was so wise, why did he get himself killed in such a dumb way? We know today you can't just go around telling powerful people they're wrong.
To engineers it was, but to politics things are more complex. If the politics of the world demand hydrogen it doesn't matter how stupid the idea is you have to do it. Politics can shut your company down completely overnight, bad engineering can do it, but only after decades of bad decisions.

Politically the powers were pushing hydrogen not long ago and nobody should be surprised if they do again.
My mental model of downvote systems is that systems without them allow more diverse thoughts.

Imagine a topic where everyone feels compelled to vote, skewed about 51% to 49%. Without downvotes, your top comments are going to be a mix of both sides. Opinions are about 50-50 and comments will look like that. It will feel frustrating, like in the article, because you see about half of these posts from those evil Others, and have no way to disagree aside from commenting.

With downvotes, the 51% side’s score becomes 51-49=+2, and the 49% side’s score becomes 49-51=-2; below a never-read comment at zero! All the top comments are from the (slim) majority, making it feel like a strong consensus, when it isn’t. It will feel better to that 51%. Who knows what the 49% will do. Leave?

Of course it’s never exactly as straightforward as that, but that’s the tendency. I like systems without downvotes because what you’re likely to see more proportionally reflects the diversity of opinions of the others on the site.
This is about distribution. Toyotas are sold through dealers. Dealers make little money on selling cars and lots of money fixing them. The Prius appeals to eco concious drivers (who don’t mind that their car drives like a dishwasher) but also appeals to dealers because it needs oil changes, radiator flushed, and frequent brake changes. Full EVs require almost no maintenance so Toyota dealers lack any incentive to market them. Hydrogen has always been a fake out; never remotely close to a viable alternative yet marketed as something amazing coming soon (so don’t buy a Tesla!).
Wow, I'm running a huge set of Privoxy rules I've worked on for the better part of two decades which tends to err on the side of blocking, and yet it doesn't get tripped by this positioning of "ads", because it's in such an innocuous position.

It absolutely would stop anyone from releasing it as proprietary software. You cannot have GPL'ed proprietary software. You can sell GPL code, you can use it in proprietary platforms, but by definition the software itself cannot be proprietary. If it's GPL'ed, other people can sell it, modify it, distribute it, and use it for their own purposes.

Sure. But it's a double edged sword. "You should wear your mask" is getting downvoted (edit: I'm using the term loosely here, I hope it tracks) across the country and responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths. We need to engage with ideas we don't like, and be open to persuasion. Downvotes preclude that.

Here at several Dutch universities, the WiFi still hands out public IP addresses, sometimes with a firewall, often without. At the particular university I'm at right now, every device has a publically reachable IPv4 address just as the system was originally intended.

This leads to some very peculiar traffic being routed around. For example, some kind of Logitech gaming driver is broadcasting a constant of packets with someone's PC stats to my publically reachable desktop/server/laptop, because the software thinks it runs behind a trusted NAT. There's also a HUGE amount of devices you can connect to if you open the Windows network overview because everyone clicked "home network" when Windows asked them what kind of network eduroam is supposed to be.

It's funny how scared people are when they realise they're not behind any strict firewall. They all know they shouldn't be disabling the firewall on their devices anyway, or so they claim, but this method of networking still instills fear into people as if NAT is a security measure (NAT slipstreaming works, NAT is not a firewall!)
Are they not able to learn to code though, or is it simply a matter of comfort and preference?
I use DeX quite a bit - it's super handy for viewing photos/videos captured on the device (Galaxy Note 9) on a big screen with desktop like controls.

Also I have the Wacom One LCD drawing tablet that I often connect to my Galaxy Tab S6 and draw on in in DeX mode with ClipStudio. It effectively turns this setup to a nice portable drawing studio, with the added flexibility of being able to work on your projects also on the go with just the Tab S6.
I think there would be if ISP's were actively banning customers because of the content of the data they transferred over the network, as is the case with Google / FB.
Counter-counter argument: If farm equipment must have software that is critical for it to function (which is debatable), it's hardly rocket surgery to air-gap farm equipment by design. In fact, it takes a shocking amount of arguably pointless effort for it not to be air-gapped.

That would make it immune to any cyber terrorist without physical access to each individual machine. If they did have access to a significant amount of farm equipment, then software protection would be the least of the concerns in terms of food security.

https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal...
I think people state a lot of reasons for their preferences that aren't actually the origins. We were looking at real estate and I realized that emotionally I am not willing to commit to our region's bloated housing costs without getting to feel like I am insulated from neighbors by a lot of trees. This is not sensible in any way for my lifestyle. I can construct a lot of post hoc justifications, and oh boy I do when people ask, but fundamentally I just have this sense (from growing up on 5 acres) of what's satisfying. I have a friend who feels this way about lawn ("how can you have a dog without a yard"), which strikes me as completely untethered from the objective value of lawn, and probably comes from his suburban upbringing.

Probably a lot of "well the noise" "benefits" of SFH are post hoc in this way. In those more permissive areas, it just takes one family with poorly trained/exercised dogs to make you long for the relative tameness of upstairs stomping. But it makes sense as a benefit people can explain in the thing that they want regardless.

I've been spending a lot of time looking at typefaces and usually feeling like I wasted it. Oddly many of the typefaces with roman letters I like the best are from fonts like Adobe's Arabic font for which roman letters aren't the main focus. (e.g. I have yet to see a Chinese font that has great roman letters but I think Arabic and Cherokee writers really appreciate the Roman alphabet.)

This article is no different -- he covers way too many typefaces and most of them are nothing special.

Usually I look at serif faces and think the serifs are just a noisy distraction. Then I was reading a book that was set in Palatino and I was blown away by the way the serif on the right side of "lowercase r" would almost make love to to the curves of the "lowercase e" and the "lowercase s". I was thinking "gee they got the font metrics right".

Then I looked at the "Palatino linotype" that comes with Windows and the lowercase r is not shaped that way at all.

Since "99% of everything is crap" I want to read articles that cut through the crap and present nothing but the best.
A lot of that hyperlocality was because the only way to hear music was to go to a live performance. The only way to enjoy a dramatic performance was to go to a live performance. In the era before widespread dissemination of printed materials and widespread literacy, the only way to enjoy a literary work was to—you guessed it—go to a live performance. This meant, among other things, that there was a period of time when a larger portion of the population was able to make a living (albeit not necessarily a good living) through arts performance. Jerry Lewis, for example, got into show business to support his family (this was also the case with the Marx brothers a generation earlier). As technology has increased the ability to disseminate artistic work, it has become a smaller fraction of the population gaining a wider audience. Some of the trends, e.g., streaming music, have ended up with recorded music becoming economically unviable for smaller acts (the numbers are widely disseminated so I won't get into that). Not sure where things are going from here, or what the anomalous period in human culture really was or will be.
Ubisoft's 8 Year Nightmare
Cryptocurrency doesn't have a 'bro' problem. Cryptocurrency suffers from the fact that it simultaneously exists in two completely different realities.

On one hand there's the technology side of things with people like Vitalik Buterin, or Charles Hoskinson (among many others) who are legitimately excited by the possibilities that Blockchain offers (and the challenges that have to be solved to get there).

And on the other hand there are those who got lucky by investing early into Bitcoin, have absolutely no clue how the technology works, but convinced themselves that they are some kind of crypto genius trading gurus and are now running around flaunting their wealth and convincing others to invest either into Bitcoin, or worse, into one of many cobbled together ponzi-scheme scam altcoin token.

Those people of course aren't very inclusive, but that's not a crypto problem, that's a con-artist, trading guru, get rich quick scheme problem.
> heavily taxing carbon emissions and having the market find the best solution?

Public perception may be one reason. If a carbon emissions tax directly leads to big increases in fuel costs, it can cause problems for drivers / vehicle users for whom fuel cost is a significant concern. The 2018 Gilet Jaune protests [0] in France were partly due to public dissatisfaction with fuel price rises. Regulatory instruments (such as fuel efficiency standards) are more opaque and may obfuscate the connection between between political decisions and the inevitable price rises.

You can see that covid-19 related deaths aren’t “inflated” by comparing the numbers to excess deaths and seeing they correlate (not just nationally, but by region and time).

When 100,000 people are reported to die of covid in the USA or another western country with a high quality reporting system, in the same region and time around 100,000 more deaths from any cause are recorded than would normally be expected. Therefore, there’s no reason to believe the covid-19 deaths are inflated (the “with covid not from covid” theory).

The full section with the Aguzzi quote adds context, including his declining to comment on the French case.

> The scientific community has long recognized that handling prions is dangerous and an occupational risk for neuropathologists, says neuropathologist Adriano Aguzzi of the University of Zurich. Aguzzi declined to comment on the French CJD cases, but told Science his lab never handles human or bovine prions for research purposes, only for diagnostics. “We conduct research only on mouse-adapted sheep prions, which have never been shown to be infectious to humans,” Aguzzi says. In a 2011 paper, his team reported that prions can spread through aerosols, at least in mice, which “may warrant re-thinking on prion biosafety guidelines in research and diagnostic laboratories,” they wrote. Aguzzi says he was “totally shocked” by the finding and introduced safety measures to prevent aerosol spread at his own lab, but the paper drew little attention elsewhere.
To continue the analogy with smart and dumb phones - the traditional car makers are struggling to match against the new threat from Tesla (who makes the “iphone”). Makes you wonder whether an Android equivalent OS will come out of Google or another tech company to compete back.

This is true from a pure accounting perspective. In reality, if a company only has discounted cash flows to imply a $1b valuation but sells for $10b, there must be something to explain that difference. In accounting, it's just an equation to make things balance. However, for the firm who decided to offer $10b, there is clearly some additional value they are applying to the $1b book.
