>I think the trolls, shills and agitators are a symptom of dysfunction rather than the cause. And I think the idea that more authoritarian states are stronger/more stable/better because they don't suffer this is deeply misguided.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but if 'the west' has a coherent set of moral principles at all they are probably inextricable with the idea that more authoritarian states are more brittle/more stagnant/worse. Even if it's true that free speech is being used against 'the West', turning our back on it in response would mean there's nothing there to defend.
Hard to draw conclusions without knowing the sizes of those banks. For example the 16 Spanish participating banks might be smaller or equivalent to the few French and German ones (likely true actually).

This not a feature that Autopilot or any other of the lane keeping systems have at the moment. If we are going to say that this is an issue then pretty much all lane keeping systems would have to be outlawed.

If it is really impossible for people to pay attention without their hands on the wheel at all the time then all lane keeping must be abolished or a standard needs to be established what 'paying attention' means.

Crashing into emergency vehicles happens often even without lane keeping system as well, so its a univeral problem when you have big stationary objects standing around on driving lanes.

What do people on HN actually want or expect in terms or regulation?

Here are some suggestions:

- Only allow any kind of lane keeping if a comprehensive testing that they can detect any obstetrical of any kind and have emergency breaking. This of course would simply mean less such system would be deployed as most companies don't have practical scalable solution for this as of yet.

- Only allow any kind of lane keeping if a comprehensive driver monitoring system is implemented that makes sure driver is alert. Additionally you could require wheel touches every so often in addition to that, if 'hands free' driving should not be allowed.

Tesla is in a good spot here, they have the internal cameras and already have a driver monitoring system yet despite that they have not allowed hands free driving.

Tesla new Vision Autopilot or the more extensive FSD stack (that will do highway driving with v10) should solve the stationary object problem.

I'm sure that if there was any kind of regulation, Tesla would simply comply and move on. In the worst case if regulation would somehow insist on having things named in a specific way, Tesla would just rename their features.

However the point here seems to be non of this is technological problem with Tesla, is simply a situation with no regulation and so every manufacturer picks their own solution. Tesla is the most prominent and most talked about so they are the whipping boy of anybody that wants more regulation.

I've been playing the game on the iPad and one of the annoying issues I have is that the captures for the handcrafted dioramas are quite low res. This results in a sort of blurry background, with sharp 3D models on top effect. It's a small thing but a constant nag that it could look so much better.
Or they "deanonymize" it insufficiently, and then sell it.

I think this would be the beginning. China has taken notes from the Soviet's downfall and they're not making the same mistakes here. They have no desire or intention to nationalize everything, but instead to stay in the shadows and poke and prod (and in some cases, disappear) entities that won't fall in line.

The CCP is out here drafting 100 year plans while a democratic society like the U.S. flip flops between adding to and then repealing laws as the head of the executive oscillates between left and right -- I think that should show you their long term intentions on growth and supremacy.

Their system is more efficient at getting things done. So are most all developing dictatorships. That is, of course, you ignore the human anguish and toll it brings.

It’s a big part of the way information is “managed”. Former Prime Minister Kevin Rudd (who was on the receiving end of character assassination campaigns for years from them) talks very well on this nowadays, describing it as a “protection racket for the LNP”.

But it’s not just News Ltd anymore. Fairfax has devolved since Nine bought them out, and the ABC is a shell of what it once was. Just look at what happened to Nick Ross for reporting the truth about the NBN, or Emma Albericie for reporting on tax cuts in a way the Government didn’t like. They were basically forced out. Then all the budget cuts leading to redundancies of many of the good voices. There are still a few gems, but the ABC is mostly in a “report in a way we like or it’s more budget cuts” position and are mostly toeing the line.

the underlying story appears to be more subtle, and less exciting, than the register makes it sound.

Most people hear "tor" and they immediately think of illegal, shady stuff. And yeah, there's a lot of that there. So, for the last decade The Tor Project has been promoting onion sevices as a thing for everyone and that people should put their normal sites on tor too. There's more normal people than shady people and if we all use tor it could legitimize it.

Well, I did. I really put all my normal sites on tor too as hidden services. And I got a lot of traffic, even after I stripped out the bots that made up 3/4 of it. My usage didn't really depend on absolute security. Even with the possible hash collisions it was safer than giving all trust to some centralized corporation at the start. So, I wanted to keep using it.

But the tor projects real priorities, obviously, lie with absolute security. They were never serious about making tor and onion services a place for everyone. They only care about the people that care about security to the detriment of all else.

So... knowing this, I'll stop using tor for my websites since it's only for security first and only types.
> That raises an interesting new dimension: the ability to revoke someone’s ID remotely (if there is no physical version) by twiddling a few bits in a server somewhere.

For most critical uses, you can do that now, since IDs are electronically verified against a central server. For incidental uses, sure, an unverified physical ID works.

Of course, using a third-party ID storage system on which you have an account increases the threat surface to which that threat applies, since there are more places where compromise can occur with the ability to kill your usable ID that way (your account, the storage system, the ID issuers systems vs. just the first of those.)

I'm a little disappointed to see Sakaguchi settling firmly into the "warm and cozy nostalgia" rut that I think alot of seasoned videogame developers fall into when they get older.

When he was at the wheel at Squaresoft, each new Final Fantasy was a major leap over the last one (with the arguable exception of FFV). Final Fantasy VII was a revolutionary step forward in the history of JRPGs.

Ever since he quit Square and founded Mistwalker, however, he seems to have stopped really trying to push the genre forward at all. Blue Dragon was a similar cute-and-comfortable RPG, at best a Chrono-Trigger lite and at worst just a Dragon-Quest lite.

This feels like more of the same: we're going to get a staff of well-known veterans to come together and make what is basically a JRPG you might have played 20 years ago, but with some modern graphics and a kitschy art style.

I always buy Sony noise-cancelling headphones which work both in wired and wireless mode. In wired mode, they can be used powered on, with NC, or not, like an old-fashioned headset.

Their main default is relative fragility. However the latest I've bought (WH-1000XM3) have incredibly efficient noise cancellation. Also you don't need to install any app to use them. Unfortunately they replaced the easy-to-use play/pause/FF/RW button and volume rocker of the previous models with tactile gestures, but it's bearable.

The population has lost trust in large institutions, but they also don't believe in a god or in anything else, so most people are just scared and double down.

Because if the government is wrong, and "science" literally caused the problem by playing with "gain of function" research, then they have nothing left to believe in their lives.
First, I think comparing our concept of democracies with athenian democracy is rarely a good idea. They didn't go for elected officials in the way we do - even our most extreme concept of direct democracy would be, for the athenians, an oligarchy, because the rich and famous could use these traits to secure general approval and political power.

Second, it's worth noting that most records of Athenian democracy come from its detractors. People like Thucydides were basically members of an oligarchic club who consistently conspired with the Spartans against Athens.

I don't know if direct democracy is unstable. The most direct-democratic nation in Europe is Switzerland, and they are so stable they're basically stationary. I don't even know if Athens was particularly unstable for its time-period - it's not like the surrounding city-states, Sparta included, had a particularly good decision-making record.
Sounds like a somewhat sensible plan.
Maybe I am ignorant, but researching the numbers leads to completely inconsistent results.

I've started diving deeper into EE after having forgotten nearly everything I learned about it in college. Falstad is such an amazing tool! It's so much more immediate and interactive than the average SPICE tool, being able to observe the entire system has helped me a ton.

Are there any other similar tools out there? NI has Multisim, but the interface is buggy and clunky, although it can do AC sweeps and Bode plots, which I wish I could get Falstad to do.

It's hard to quantify why Robert Walser's work feels so vital, even today. I think his unique combination of radical inwardness, humor, wonderment, estrangement, cynicism, and the sublime make most literature of the time (and today) seem programmatic.
And it's not even necessary -- the git data model is simple. It's simple enough that you can generate valid commits in about a page lines of python, with no libraries. The rest is just packing files for efficiency, and finding the difference between hash lists for syncing and pulling.

The command line interface to git is insanely complicated, confusing, and unnecessarily difficult to use, but this isn't a result of the git data model. It's definitely possible, to give a complete and accurate description of the data model, even using examples from `git cat-file` to walk through the commit history by hand.

I've also got a simple demo that generates a complete repo with a commit. You can manipulate the resulting repo from git. There are 65 non-comment lines of code.

Here it is: https://orib.dev/ugit.py
Ugh. So many concepts. So many things to remember. Why? Git is simple. SIMPLE. But only, IMO, if you go bottom-up and not top-down. There are only 6 critical concepts in Git and each is simple enough to be described in a single sentence.

1. Commits are immutable blobs that have one or more parents. Graphs, not trees. Anyone who uses trees for git commits misses the whole point and makes their (and their collaborators) lives complicated.

2. Tags are (mostly, best practice) immutable pointers to commits. Tag are "this is this thing FOREVER*."

3. Branches are named, mutable (by design) pointers to commits. Branches are "this is this thing FOR NOW. Later it'll be something else."

4. HEAD is special "branch" that moves around automatically.

5. Origin is the local snapshot of the remote. Origin is "what did it look like when I last looked."

6. (fundamental but not critical) Remote is the current remote state (queried by RPC).

7. Index (aka stage) is where you put changes you want to make into commits. (this is somewhat simplified). Index is "My current and immediate plan. Scrub as needed."

That's (mostly, for non advanced use cases) it. Everything else are commands to query or manipulate the various state. Every action (until it becomes instinctual knowledge) should follow the same recipe: 1. Figure out the current state (current commit graph, relevant branches). 2. Figure out the target state (desired commit graph, new branches positions). 3. Mutate using ANY command you want.

I think that's the issue really. Inexperienced dev / people who don't understand git look at commands as "this is how to do a thing". No. In Git there isn't "how to do the thing". It's exactly like writing code - so many ways to achieve the goal, just choose your own. It might be efficient and elegant, or bumbling and ugly, but it'll get there.
Austrialia is just the beta-version for what's coming to the rest of the "free world". If Covid and global warming didn't exist, they would have to invent them.
There are several reasons. One is that white fabric is transparent, and the sun will reach the skin. Black fabric blocks the sun, and the heat is kept in the upper robe, and doesn't penetrate inward.

Another reason is the structure of the garment - it's a robe that is open from top to bottom, this allows air currents to flow along the skin, drawing away moisture and cooling the person.

The heat of the sun acts as the engine that causes that airflow (i.e. it's worth slightly higher temperature, which will then cause the hotter air to rise up, and out the neck carrying moisture with it).

And finally, you don't want a sunburn.

Modern heat control is all about exposing the skin for the cooling, but it relies on shelter and sunscreen to block the sun.

If you can't block the sun then you want a garment to do it.
I use the Garmin solar instinct. It lasts 30-40 days on a charge. If it doesn't get any sun (winter months), its ~22 days on a charge.
Having looked through this comment thread as it has built up over the past couple of hours, I'd like to point to an article in The Atlantic from earlier today that raises many parallel concerns to some expressed here. The article [1] is headlined Australia Traded Away Too Much Liberty and carries the sub-heading How long can a democracy maintain emergency restrictions and still call itself a free country?

I can't view the article as unbiased (and neither would I expect that from The Atlantic), although it does make some effort to support measures introduced for the public good - especially in times of pandemic. However, for me at any rate, it was worth reading and gave me food for thought. I worked in Australia for nearly three years (2013 to 2016) and wouldn't like to see a shift in its society to the extent feared by the writer.

Mother Nature is not a legal person that can hold a trademark.
South Korea failed with implementation of similar legislation back in 2009[1].

From a research paper[2] that studied the effects of the legislation:

"The comparison of flaming proportions between identity verified and non-verified groups, as seen in Table 4 above, supports our inference in that the identity verified users are more likely to repeatedly write inflammatory comments and become aggressive against the opposite opinions."

"The results regarding the Identity Verification Law suggest that some potential commenters may withdraw themselves from writing comments due to the inconvenience and risks associated with the verification process, whereas others who undergo the verification process may do so because they perceive the benefits gained from becoming an online community member and expressing opinions to be higher than the costs incurred from the verification process."

The eSafety Commissioner of Australia position[3] on de-anonymizing online discussions appears to call for a repeat of the naive mistakes that South Korea made with their attempts to de-anonymize the Internet. Likely what would happen if de-anonymization legislation is introduced into Australia is:

1) Local Australian websites and online services would lose traffic to international sites that people gravitate towards (and are even less regulated and more out of Australian law enforcement reach).

2) Local Australian websites and online services will be overrun with people with fringe opinions and views that don't care about using their real name for posting up neo-nazism content, anti vaxxer content, etc. Many of these people are comfortable sharing their views today with their real identities. The reason for an overrun is that those with moderate/mainstream views and opinions will perceive online discourse with their real identity as having too much risk, with no outweighing benefits.

3) Memes and other creative methods will become more commonplace, making enforcement particularly hard if not impossible to achieve. If someone shares a meme such as "Happy Merchant"[4], did they share a picture of a happy old man not noticing the connotation of the kippah in the image, or did they deliberately share the image with an intent to incite racism? Or if we look to a case from China, is it a picture of someone relaxing on the grass by a beautiful lake, promoting tourism, or is it someone sharing the picture with an intent to raise awareness of the "Tang ping"[5] movement?

I haven't found the battery life to be an issue. Part of that is how quick the Apple Watch is to charge. I throw it on the charger when I wake up, and it's charged by the time I get out of the shower.
Qualcomm supplies the entire SoC and this includes drivers and firmware for way more than just the CPU. You can get Lineage OS onto Pixel phones outside of Google's support, but that only includes the OS layer and not the driver/firmware/baseband layer.

I don't think Google can change anything about this really. Qualcomm is the only non vertically integrated vendor of SoCs with the wanted features and quality Google needs (apple is vertically integrated). They don't have any buying power towards Qualcomm. In the hardware business, they are a niche provider. 2% market share in North America, world wide even less.
