I completely agree, a large part of the issue was the ANA's unwillingness to fight, whether out of Taliban sympathies and sabotage or a desire to just go home.

The other two choices are ones I firmly believe were misguided, but it's tough to argue this one as we don't know what the US was unable to provide or why.
>Gee, I hope that everything you own that you got off Craigslist in good faith and paid for is remotely disabled if it had been stolen, while the thieves enjoy the money. Because you're the bad guy!

You're not the bad guy, but you're also not entitled to keep the stolen goods. It has to go back to its original owner. I'd be pretty pissed if someone stole my bike, sold it, and I'm not able to recover my bike because somebody "bought" it at 80% off.
ah good, thank you
Under Dutch law: sure they can. As long as you had no reason to suspect it was a stolen TV (super low price, no receipt even though it was basically new, stuff like that) a party that bought the TV second hand is now the legal owner even if the initial owner gets ahold of the current owner.

Under Dutch law the most common thing this applies to is second hand bicycles. If you bought it off a junkie at the train station for 10 bucks, it's probably not yours to keep. Showing up to a house through a Facebook-group and paying something like 100 bucks for a second hand bike would totally qualify though, even if that bike turned out to be stolen.

Even at 1.45 they fight and compete over slots to participate. They'd have prisoners volunteer to do it for free even. You have to realize how draining and soul destroying prison is.

By doing the fire fighting they get to leave the prison occasionally, and do something with their life that people compete to do outside the prison system. Also parts of fire fighting training is pretty cool to be honest. People want something/anything to give their life meaning and purpose, and fire fighting does that in a very prestigious way.

Ideally they'd get full wages, (at least minimum wage, sense their food and housing is taken care of) and be able to use their fire fighting certification to immediately enter the work force on release. But I believe they are barred from becoming fire fighters afterwords.

If the meteorologist says it will rain on Saturday and be sunny on Sunday, and in fact they happen in the opposite order, my weekend plans are ruined.

But the seismologist is just saying, "I don't know exactly when but it reeaaally looks like we're going to get a big earthquake someday soon better make sure your building is up to code and you have your emergency supplies ready". And we nod, and check our emergency supplies and upgrade our infrastructure, and when five more years go by without an earthquake, and the seismologist is saying the same thing, nobody says "silly seismologist, predicting twelve of the last three earthquakes!"

But when an economist says a crash might be coming soon, and you'd better make sure you have emergency savings set aside, people do make those jokes.

What's different about these scenarios?
I purchased a Samsung tv, I connected it to Wifi one time to download any 'updates' then I disabled WIFI and all of the smart features via the menu and went the extra mile to block its MAC Address on the router.

I never once touched any of the smart features and it has been fine so far. This has been my rule for any devices that requires WIFI. I should really setup a special guest network for them and disable WAN access but I haven't gotten that far yet.

I got on a taxi at a taxi stop (in my country there are designated spots where only the registered cabs for each specific spot can park) and the driver was speeding, hitting all the bumps on the road, zig-zagging, etc. My wife and our baby was in the car with me. I complained, didn't work, then I went back to the stop a couple of days later and complained to the other drivers of said spot. They all said they constantly received complaints for that guy, but since he was "one of the oldest drivers here, can't do nothing about it".

No-one forces you to connect your "smart" TV to the network... You can just use it as a "dumb" TV and connect anything on it (such as a Raspberry Pi) to do the "smart" things. I have an old Toshiba smart TV from >7 years ago that I bought second-hand for 100€, and while it is doing great as a dumb TV I would never connect it to the network considering there have been no firmware update for years and that the current one is likely affected by un-fixable security holes !

And you're not expected to. This is for TVs that were recently stolen. Do people here actually think this will be used in the future for random ownership checks?
Do you think it has to do with their shrinking content library, as the original holders/networks/studios went for their own game? I.e. instead of returning adequate and valuable results to match a wide choice, the goal is to pad lack of content with blurry low-quality results, as Netflix-produced content can only fill so much?

"Policies that have never been seen before" seem to describe a good part of the last century, which has certainly had booms and busts, but the novelty has been more of a constant. We just don't have that long a history of modern economics. We've been flying by the seat of our pants the whole time.

I think you typo’d your way into a different word than you meant here. What you meant to say was public discourse.
I'm not sure the Magic Roundabout would pose any problem for any sort of automated driving.
It's basically just a nested roundabout- where you essentially have to give the right-of-way to traffic already on the roundabout.

If you can navigate a roundabout, you can navigate the magic roundabout - you just apply the same rules.

If anything, this is the sort of thing an automated system would excel over humans at - where the automation won't get confused by an uncommon application of a familiar ruleset.

This is a great opportunity to stop reading twitter.

Context. Normally I don’t (I don’t know enough about China!), but when the context is “how many enconomic thingies does this group of people have?” I think comparing groups with roughly equal GDP is probably less wrong than comparing groups with roughly the same number of nations (or people).

But I’m neither an economist nor politically trained, so if someone who is either wants to (politely) tell me I’m grossly oversimplifying, I’ll listen.

In the early days of the Internet I recall warnings that once these companies successfully grabbed all of the users then they would turn from benevolent to even worse than the existing media companies.

I was watching YouTube last night and realized I was getting a ton of ads. They do this new thing on their TV apps where they show the first 10-20 seconds of the video and then put in an ad. Plus a midroll that awkwardly injects itself on a scene change somewhere at 5-10 minutes. I was watching a live music performance and mid song the camera angle changed and YouTube algo decides it is a good place for an ad. I used to get one 10-15 sec ad but lately it is more like 3 ads with the third one being un-skippable.

I opened Facebook this morning and the first 10 or so cards on my feed were all ads and complete garbage "comedy" videos. I then saw 1 or 2 posts from friends followed by terrible recipe gifs, more "comedy" videos, TED talks, ads for marketplace and pointless "news". I would guess around 10% of the posts were from my actual social network.

Twitter embeds on news articles are nearly the worst. If they have an image, after you have clicked through to Twitters site, you can't even see attached image without logging in. Actually, every single button the Tweet landing page seems to go to a login screen.

I even have a reddit account and now the front-page isn't even customized. Probably 30% of the cards are from subreddits I have never interacted with with "suggested because you are subscribed to XXX".

What's amazing is we are justifying this with "well capitalism, duh". Like these companies didn't vacuum up the free Internet until any non-ad supported content was snuffed out. Now that we have no where else to go for this stuff they can start to turn the screws.
> How many tech trends did Hacker News hype up only to have them go nowhere?

Do all of these graphs taken into account actual "hype" or just the existence, and number, of posts on hacker news? I would like to see the graphs adjusted for discussion. Take number of comments into account, analysis of sentiment in the discussion, etc. Are they actually being hyped?

For instance, the description above the Bitcoin graph gives a link to the very first mention of Bitcoin[1] but the link goes to a post with no comments.

I guess number of posts and timeline of posts could indicate trend but should we call it "hyping" those trends? I would imagine that would come from the averaged response sentiment of the discussion on those posts.

I find that when Hacker News really likes a piece of highly technical SaaS technology it's usually pretty good. The best example I can think of is Datadog which got rave reviews here years ago and has continued to be enormously successful. Particularly for enterprise tech as there tends to be less herd behavior up-market. If I'm diligencing a technology I'll often actually look at HN to see the opinions.
That's the problem of current consumers. The modern TVs have an equivalent no smart same spec screen but only available to corporate users with all the modern inputs just without the smart. If only we could get access to that market.
Contracts that set out the rules - work best.

> > You have recourse by showing proof of purchase

>How does that help when the product is out of warranty?

This is for TVs that were recently stolen. They'd definitely be in warranty (short of you not buying from an authorized reseller because you bought it out of the back of a truck), and you're reasonably likely to have the receipt.
Stop this "why is this relevant for HN". If it's not, it'll leave the front page soon.
There were a couple of movies around this trope. Black TV also has this trope (kind of like how other comedies might insert a bar(tender) scene).

I have literally not used a built-in TV tuner at home for 15 years. It used to be a set-top box for cable/satellite providers, now mostly an AppleTV for streaming services (including for public broadcast like the BBC iPlayer). If/when I replace my TV it'll almost certainly be closer to a TV-sized display with decent built-in speakers.

It really only takes a couple-few math wizards seeing a thing to vote it onto the front page for a bit, where other math wizards have a good chance of seeing it and upvoting it further. Notice that 100 upvotes only requires 100 wizards amongst the HN population.

I also agree with others that the assumptions about 'mostly devops' may well be very wrong. Control theory should be at least somewhat familiar to anyone who's worked in robotics and/or aviation, as well. A whoooole lot of people dabble in robotics during undergrad, and many older software engineers get into drones (like the author of the monograph!) or flying.

I vowed to never buy a smart TV, but it's getting harder and harder.

Luckily, I recently found that Sony's smart TVs have a mode called "Basic TV". It doesn't require internet and disables a bunch of the extra functions that I don't need my TV to do. I can even disable the bluetooth connectivity to turn the display into as dumb of a TV as possible.
He's white, so his death is newsworthy for HN. Contrast with say Kobe Bryant.
I dunno, a lot of the time I get higher quality products from China, AND for cheaper. There is much more advanced manufacturing tech there now. You just need to buy from a reliable company that knows their shit.

Sometimes if it is just poor assembly quality you can patch it up yourself easily. If screws are unscrewing themselves out all that's needed is a little Loctite or lock nuts. The metal is still perfectly fine.

Sometimes it's just patents that drive up prices in the US, for some stupidly simple thing like a bike pedal patents shouldn't exist, and for practical purposes it would be laughable to have a patent on some low tech stuff like that in China.
A lot of phones have issues with the built in cameras when flashing third party firmware. The roms that seem to work better with these phones integrate the original binary blobs from the manufacturer. I guess the question is can you do that in this case?
Google took a completely different approach and relies heavily on pre-mapped environments. Tesla has several orders of magnitude more vehicles, more data, and a more diverse set of data given their cars are in many different countries.
