> displaying such a deep misunderstanding of PHEVs.

Don't misunderstand them at all, and I have volt in my top 5 best cars of the last 20 years for regular people. I just think the time of the PHEV has come and gone. Used they are still interesting buys, but I wouldn't spend any money on a new combustion engine anymore.

> I have no idea why you're acting like a frunk is some sacred place you're robbed of if there's an engine there when several BEVs have come out without them.

Never said engine space needed to be used for a frunk (though that has been a common choice). MEB is a notable BEV platform with no frunk, but they used that space to move the cab forward significantly, adding valuable passenger and luggage space. MEB cars have pretty insane rear seat room for their overall size class and it's becuase the whole passenger shell moved forward by approx. one transverse engine. Frunks are not necessary, but what's valuable is re-claiming prime space that has always been eaten by engines. Having an engine connected to the wheels forces your hand on a whole bunch of decisions about front wheel and steering rack placement, length of the front control arms, height of the hood, etc. The list is very long.

> Like do you not realize a Model S has a radiator?

And it's 1/3 to 1/4 the size of an ICE radiator of similar kW power output.

>Or that there are ICE cars with engines everywhere from the front to the back of the car?

Mid-engine cars are great to drive, but come with extreme space sacrifices in the pursuit of weight distribution and handling (not to mention typically horrible access for maintenance). Rear engine cars like beetle and 911 are truly interesting for packaging, but have a number of downsides of their own. It took porsche 30 years and tons of developments in tire technology to kill the lift-off oversteer in the 911.

> PHEVs are poised to fill the gap when reality comes home to roost

When studies showed the majority of PHEV owners in the EU didn't ever plug them in I soured significantly on PHEVs as a concept. Turns out people having to actively choose daily to reduce emissions doesn't result in the best results. Perhaps if there was punishing enough carbon taxes, but as it stands PHEVs in the rear world have fallen far short of the ideal.
>The vaccine has an overwhelming amount of data showing it's effective, and very little showing side effects.

I see studies exploring long term/subtle effects of COVID, along with controls that were not infected. I don't see a lot of "vaccinated but not infected" and "vaccinated and infected" groups in these studies. I'd be far more convinced if those studies were done.
The SEC did enforce against tesla - when Elon tweeted "Tesla’s stock price is too high imo" - they began an investigation and subpoenaed records because they felt this this had not been approved by attorneys (it wasn't - elon claimed it was his personal opinion). So they went after him for this.

They also went after him for a lot of other stuff.

Note that they haven't gone after folks for failure to deliver issues on sales which is usually caused by shorting stocks such as Tesla's and others. Even though you'd think the basics of a regulated market is that folks selling shares actually own and will deliver them if someone buys them.
Open markets require a way to escalate and resolve disputes, adjudicated impartially.

> You only see things in your newsfeed from people you've explicitly added to your network (i.e. explicitly opted in to receiving content from).

Eh, I'm pretty sure see random posts from political Facebook groups that were commented on by a Facebook friend I added in like 2006 when that sort of "content proliferation" didn't exist yet (or at least wasn't anywhere near as prominent). I explicitly added that friend, yes, but I definitely didn't explicitly consent to receiving every single piece of Internet content that that friend ever interacts with.
Calling out virtue signalling is useful to make people realize that judging a situation or person without having all the facts is damaging to society all around the world. This contributes a lot to the hipocrisy we see in the west nowadays which influences the entire world because of technology.

The outrage generated by all the mass media is not good as far as I'm concerned and it's good to remind people of that.
The Death of Browser Games
Surely government sites in their host countries can be whitelisted?
Hopefully, this issue will go away soon.

I'm uniquely positioned to talk about this as I provide a free Shopify Shipping App that I'd imagine would use the same APIs as the "third-party international shipping plugin" you talk about.

Shopify has identified 3rd party app server capacity as an issue with "flash sales", and this is why they've been throwing a bunch of dev time in getting web assembly to run out of the browser and on the server. Their aim is that they'll run the App's code on the app dev's behalf. Web assembly was chosen for sandboxing.

Here ends my knowledge!
This reminds me a lot of the famous Slashdot iPod comment: "No wireless. Less space than a nomad. Lame."[0]

...but, seriously, the selling point is the experience plus some fairly nice fit-and-finish. They're advertising it hard on the inclusion of a season of interesting games from notable developers in the price.

Certainly, you could pirate a whole lot of ROMs and play them on that retroid device, but that's a different appeal.

I have had the same problem. Especially because going back a page on a Kindle can cause a reflow so words aren’t in the same position.

Have you had any luck turning on progress bars on your reader? Hasn’t helped me yet but I know I have a very good intuition on physical books for how far through the book a concept was. I can often just move directly to the area and then scan forward / backwards.

On my Kindle or iPad I find this hard.

Fair, but this is a question of implementation. Objective truth being hard to define doesn't mean there is no such thing as objective truth.
Yes but lets acknowledge that it's not really a game, and that nobody should do this for any kind of public game with winners and losers.

A multiplayer server needs to run the simulation for every player and be the authority, the clients should simply collect input from the player and run a "lite" simulation to hide latency.
I don't want to be forced to be around potentially infectious people. The vaccine, like all others, is not 100% effective. Unvaccinated people pose an avoidable risk to my health. I don't want them around me. I don't want to be forced to be around them. Unvaccinated people have made a choice to risk their lives, they don't get the choice to risk mine.
> They needed to help the less educated, too.

Like squeaky-clean trying to read up on a paradox?

Google could have an advanced mode for search or something. Instead they put other information aggregators out off business but did nothing to replace their value. We were better off with the paper version of Yellow Pages for some queries -- at least it was moderated and effort was put into compiling it.

I don't think it is a good business move for Google in the long turn to be a search engine for Wikipedia and Stack overflow and for people that are to lazy to type to top domain for the URL. Forwarding non URLs to Google search in Chrome might be the smartest dark pattern from Google ever.
> If Google hadn’t implemented ContentID they could very well have lost the suit from Viacom about Google not doing what the DMCA requires.

Viacom’s suit wasn't about DMCA requirements (in fact, it was originally dismissed based on the DMCA safe harbor, but that was reversed on appeal) but basic commercial copyright infringement.
Like they took delivery in 2019?

One Tenth of a Second
Ask HN: How to Interview Users
I’m starting a new company and I need to start gathering user feedback. I’ve created Google Forms with the questions I want to ask so I can keep track of everything.

My question is how do I find and break the ice to start talking to strangers?

The type of people I need to speak to are hiring managers and anyone who’s use/found a job using a site like Indeed.

Finding the job seekers has been easy because I could start with friends and family. Finding hiring managers has been the hard part because I don’t have any in my immediate contacts.

What strategies would you use to find these people and interview them?

Thanks HN!

As a developer who is in the complete opposite side of how saas are developed (i.e., dependencies to a minimum, reproducible environments, boring and stable tech vs cutting edge tech, framework-agnostic core, etc.), can someone tell me: How do you maintain a saas developed with such a framework after a few years of pushing features to production? I can only imagine that using such an approach (i.e., Nextless.js approach) is enjoyable at the beginning (when there is no product at all and you need to build from scratch), but it will become terrible painful to work with after a few iterations dealing with so many dependencies that are core to your product.
The problem everyone is dancing around by trying to say Google, Twitter, or Facebook is a common carrier is that they filter and weight what you see anyway

It’s literally the service Google provides.

If they could decouple the information store from the display, and allow third parties to algorithmically filter and sort, then we could designate them as common carries for the first half. Maybe.
While I agree that FB disappearing wouldn't be that big a deal, the idea that email is an "obvious" alternative is quite problematic for the younger folk.

Data point: In 2009, the admin assistant in my department at university told me she's been getting quite a few upset incoming freshmen because of the requirement to have an email address for university classes - many of them had never used email before, and had communicated only via text, and IM apps. This was over 10 years ago.

There is a market opportunity.

It is filled by consultants.

If it matters, spend money on them.

If it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter.

There is no silver bullet.

The good news is you can maintain the database via the license and decide about consultants later.

Six months or three years from now, the same options will exist so long as you maintain the license.

In some number of years, the business records will no longer be required to be maintained by law.

Much of what you have in the database may already be obsolete.

Talk to your legal counsel regarding what can be deleted and when.

Good luck.

> The problem is who decides.

The problem is the poorly-considered but extremely widespread epistemology that goes something like "whether a claim is true depends on how convinced certain people are of that claim."

> Once you create a fact checking entity, it will decide for itself what are object truths.

No, it will just make claims, which may be true or false. There's nothing mysterious or troubling about this. They're not "deciding" what's true.
Not entirely pointless, they did provide some useful tips (I wasn't aware of Bcc), but yeah the story ends with them not resolving the issue and just using a different version of the driver that doesn't have the bug.
Copilot isn't intending to copy entire code bases either.
This is a useless hypothetical, no language models do that
I'm starting to avoid Google search alltogether but my best trick is including a really specific term that SEO would avoid because it might not be familiar to the reader. 90% of the time it will ignore the term but somewhere on the page there will be a page where it says it didnt match that term and if i want to search for matches that do include that keyword. That sometimes improves the results. Note: the query will look the same as quoting the term but in my experience doing that initially is simply ignores. All the old dorking/google-fu operators have been ignored by Google for some time now.
> it’s nearly impossible to retrofit mitigations for spam, harassment, or abuse

... why?
The excessive summer sun is actually a bug not a feature, especially if you factor in the diminished air quality with increased forest fires. Last summer everybody I know chaired when the rains finally came and cleared the air from all the particulates.

Actually IMO the PNW would have a pretty sweet overall weather if only it would rain just a little more in the summer (say once a week / every two weeks).

It's really important to keep in mind that climate can change dramatically in only short distances. From last week, at the same time it was 100F in Sacramento, CA, it was 60F in Inverness, CA. Same latitude, same elevation. The two are about 100 miles apart, a short distance when searching the globe.

I cite Inverness, CA because it has the best weather for my tastes: 20F annual temperature range with average high just under 70F. Always breezy out of the West, with clean ocean air coming off the Pacific. 257 days of sun, 42 inches of rain, less than 1% 'muggy' humidity.

Most places within 10 miles of the Northern California Pacific coast have these attributes.

Folks need to appreciate lush vibrant green vegetation where frequent rain is encouraged ... perhaps motivated by lifelong hiking every few days ... so for me Mediterranean climate is way too dry and barren
Then how would you model composing behaviors in Go. Say for example I have a representation of Food and a representation of Animal. I then want an ability that will "animate" things, so I can animate Food to give it the behaviors of Animal.

I'm not being critical either, I'm seriously curious how somebody would implement this behavior in Go. Like you say, just struct with methods is a very appealing mental model since you have fewer moving parts, but how does it deal with a scenario like this which is very common in game dev?
I find it absolutely crazy that neither google maps or yelp can use location (geofencing) as part of their "relevant results" algos.

Philly region here. I asked a friend who is a manager about this. He laughed and said he doubts the company will do anything different than normal. Normally we get merit increases (no COL adjustments) from 2-4%. Could be as low as zero for a bad rating. It could be as high as 6% for a high rating with a low salary.
Is this constructive?
I think it's reasonable to criticize an organization for its leaders, and question their actions accordingly. And he is on the board.

I haven't used Facebook in a decade. Not even a little bit. I highly recommend it.
Yeah that makes no sense. Can I just say I'm offended about anything and they'll change it? Obviously not.
I believe we're on the verge of that happening. Yeah, VR has been available for way too many years, but available !== accessible. The Oculus Quest product line alone has done more for making VR accessible to the masses than any prior form of VR technology. Sure, Valve, HTC, Sony and others were there before, but their approach was more enthusiast friendly than mass market friendly, requiring additional hardware and wiring, for starters.

Sure, there are still many issues to overcome, but even with those the Quest line has managed to make a dent in the industry in only 2 years of being available.
I think we all will take this seriously when Apple finally joins the game.
I agree. That’s why both get a bit from me on Patreon.
Same with Google. I searched a covid-related question, and Google's preferred answer at the top was "There is no evidence of this", while the next two links were medical journals that did show evidence that directly contradicted Google's statement.

It amazes me.
If I understand correctly it means that the old tests tested only for covid and the new ones test for covid and influenza at the same time. This makes them more efficient because you won't have to test twice to detect each virus separately.
Will you compensate financially the co-workers you happen to infect and who are vaccinated but for whom the vaccine didn't work (10% or so risk)?

It's not about you, nobody's stopping you from playing Russian roulette with your own skull. I personally do not want to be around unvaccinated people any more than I want to be on the same road as a drunk or street racer.

I wouldn't object to living in that climate type (Csa, Csb), but I'd be worried about rainfall:

Personally I'd lean more towards Oceanic:

Ironic, the mention of those two. They've both been (or are about to be) re-released (and - as I've heard - have replaced the originals in the launchers). As such, they are both still revenue generating products for ACTI.
Their conclusion, "security issues are common in PyPI packages", doesn't really follow from the results. Their methods will classify any use of a function that is not cryptographically secure (MD5, random), even if it is not used in a cryptographic setting. Similarly any use of a function that is not safe to use on untrusted input (pickle, yaml.load, subprocess, eval) will be flagged, even if the usage is completely safe.

Same mechanism would flag and ban folks who argued that the lab leak hypothesis was a possibility and was worth investigating... Interesting how the media changed their narrative on this one.
