Finally found a source! Nissan NMC product page states as below. I still can't remember why it can't be Kei registered but the consensus is it doesn't belong to any class and can't be registered outside of some special terms. That car in that article is also Nissan badged so must be under the same waiver.

> Others: Release schedule and price, as well as vehicle class, license and taxes to be applied remain undecided.

> Q:Where can I buy the vehicle?

> A:The vehicle is not on sale for now. Since the current Road Trucking Vehicle Law bans this vehicle from running on public roads, its test runs in Japan are being conducted with the special permission from MLIT under the scheme of allowing experiments of ultra-compact mobility. Whether the vehicle will be released for sale or not is still unknown.

> Q: The vehicle is said not to be allowed to run on a public road because it's over the spec of the already-defined motorized two-wheeled vehicle therefore no existing vehicle category to apply. What exactly is over the spec?

> A:Under the Road Traffic Act, vehicles that are categorized as the Class-1 Motorized Four-wheeled Bicycle are stipulated to have the rated output of "0.6kW or less" and to be a single-seater. This model’s rated output is 8kW and two-seater (front-back).

In other words, stop trying, let's just stick with the current terrible status quo. That's a supremely unhelpful comment to make, intended to discourage anyone from improving things ever. Shall we all just go back to a cave and knock some rocks together?
I really don't expect they'll allow the bootloader to be unlocked. but yes, it'd be awesome if they do.
It's hard to see how this has anything to do with the app. Although it was almost certainly fake, HBO had a show called "Taxicab Confessions" back in 1995 claiming to be real rides filmed with a hidden camera in which the passengers did and said things no one would ever admit to if they expected to ever see the driver again. It has been a trope since well before smart phones became a thing. As Robin Hanson was quoted in this article saying, people not exactly treating service staff the way they treat their friends is not unique to app-mediated transactions.

I've never really lived in a city where cabs were much of a thing, but had a limo for prom, been in buses. People have been having sex and doing drugs in the Greyhound for decades, acting not only like the driver isn't there, but the other passengers aren't, either. It's arguably even worse with a limo, with the privacy shield trying to give you the illusion the driver legitimately doesn't exist at all.

How do you think the janitors at your school felt? What things did they see? Landscapers at your corporate campuses? What about hotel staff? I can hardly remember the number of times one of us forgot to put up the Do Not Disturb sign and a maid walked in on my wife and me.

Thinking about when this was the worst, nothing could ever compare to having a girlfriend in high school. We had public sex all the time, but why? Because we had no privacy at home. Where else were we supposed to do it? I'd rather be seen by a total stranger than my 5 year-old sister. People need me time and couples need we time. If you spend most of your day in a house full of kids or an office full of coworkers, when is that time supposed to come? A commute could potentially be that, but if you find yourself having to rely on someone else to drive you, you might just behave as if you're alone anyway because it's still the best you're gonna get.

Well said.

I was 24 and working at Tandem Computers in Cupertino. I would describe myself as someone who didn’t understand the giving of flowers.

I had finished a big corporate marketing project (Tandem Channel Development Kit—-da-dum). The ‘client’ lead surprised my manager and myself with flowers in our cubicles. So imagine walking through the sterile office, with Holiday Inn meets xerox machine decor, to find a lovely natural bouquet. From there evermore I understood giving flowers as a gift.
“ Red Herring, which is explicitly a detail that not only doesn't matter, but purely exists to mislead the audience.”

There is also the McGuffin which appears to matter, but exists entirely to elicit character action. For instance, in “Psycho” the plot line about the stolen money is dropped almost as soon as it is established, but it did its job by getting Marion on the run and into the motel.

I much prefer his stuff without piano, cause the piano is usually playing a million notes a minute. My favourites are The Bells (his own favourite of his works) and the 2nd Symphony. Also Symphonic Dances.

Well, if you want angry, fast and chaotic, try the 3rd movement of The Bells! It gets extremely wild, I usually give it a miss. (Pianist/composer here)

What I think is the best version of The Bells - Kondrashin 1963. This video has Symphonic Dances first, which is often pretty fiery, even has a lovely sax solo.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fPHFKIn0RDc
Doesn't Walmart already offer a $20 smartphone (or similarly dirt-cheap)?
I would guess money plays a part. The commercial prospects for discovering a new fundamental particle and discovering a cure for prostate cancer are quite different.
I thought it was going to be how money moves not only through space but also time.

If there was no inflation then a dollar from 1900 should be just as valuable as a dollar today. However, a dollar is effectively a promise to work. It doesn't store anything. If you bring that dollar into the future it is the same thing as transporting a debt into the future.

Why would it ever make sense for the past to have so much power over the future? I mean the idea that we are obligated to the past makes no sense. If anything the past should be obligated to the future. We work today so that tomorrow is a better day.
You’re right, banks don’t cooperate internationally in this area, but it cuts both ways no?

How can one get a mortgage in Holland without being a resident/having income declared there?
The bank will not loan a foreign resident in those circumstances. Did he pay taxes in all those countries?
Certainly yes, it would be better - the value of a car goes down, do you still make an 'investment'? No, you buy a car if you need a car, we don't call buying a car 'investment', we don't encourage people to hoard cars they don't need, it contributes nothing to the economy.

The optimal situation is for cars and houses to be as cheap as possible relative to earnings, that's what we call economic growth and improved quality of life.
1. Because you actually need protein to gain muscle mass, so there goes your "mostly plants" without a caveat about "vegetarian protein", which has its own set of problems.

2. Exercise regularly - what is regularly? What kind of exercise? You never had over-work injuries? Injuries from muscle / postural imbalances? Etc.

I concede that most of this advice is available for free, but unless you have a GOOD coach, you will get injured before you get results. Then there is plain doing too much.

Again, you can come back with "Well, I am just talking about not being obese" - in that case, yea, it's much simpler since you don't have to worry about getting enough protein and balancing that against becoming over-weight.

The standard argument against 'tired light' is that it should lead to scattering of light from more distant objects, but this has not been observed in the data.
Important to clarify here that in describing the exploit, the author of this article is not doing anything wrong -- they're raising awareness of an issue with the Chromium dev tools that people absolutely should be made aware of. It's very much in the same vein as some of the "login interceptor" extensions that got published back when the tech community was trying to encourage sites like Facebook to switch to HTTPS. The full text of the article makes the author's intentions pretty clear, and I think it's good that they published this article.

Otherwise, agreed. Users have a fundamental right to inspect code that is running on their devices (https://anewdigitalmanifesto.com/#right-to-modify), and anti-debugging techniques (including invasive systems like DRM) are distasteful because they try to deny users that right.

I'm also pleased to see the Firefox alert, but there's no specific mention I can find about why it doesn't work in Firefox. I'd love to see some more information about that.

> To get rid of <hobby supplies> that I never use involves confronting the fact that I'm not a <hobby> person. It's painful to realize that I'm not who I wish I was.

My solution to these feelings is to remind myself that my hobbies don't define me, whether I do them a little or a lot. And it's OK to save some unused stuff until a season when I can use them. (Assuming that's not too far off.,)
By that point the show was popular enough for them not to need a compelling story or nudity; fans would watch either way.
Things I Learned Bootstrapping to $20M ARR
"entirely unacceptable" sounds very strong to me. The Wikipedia page on gender-neutral language has a point on avoiding "him" and the reference dates back from 2015 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender-neutral_language. But nothing on that page suggests something as strong as what you say. Same thing with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_neutrality_in_English#P.... The page suggests that there is an ongoing debate, but no answer is accepted by everyone. Perhaps your social circles don't reflect the whole western anglophone sphere?

Considering all of that, you unnecessarily said that English may not be the author's primary language, implying that their usage of "him" was only rooted in ignorance and couldn't be a deliberate choice. You said that you made your point "politely", but that isn't the case. I don't know if you acted in bad faith or in ignorance, but in both cases, you should try to be a bit more nice and open about how you approach people here.

I don't really get what you're trying to say with "I've flagged this thread to give the moderators an opportunity to consider this data point; HN is a great community but I think that it is numerically male-dominated. That of course needn't necessarily translate into cultural problems but I am disappointed by the behavior of thread participants here.". Are you disappointed because you got downvoted without any explanation? Or that people don't react as much as they should to the "him"? Or something else?
Huh? Chekhov's Gun has been around for decades, not sure what "new woke Hollywood" has anything to do with it.

> Are we saying that, say, the Polish state owns the Poles and if the latter go abroad they are stolen goods?

Large amounts of educated (at taxpayer expense) people leaving a country is a problem, regardless of any claims of ownership.

Or claims of duty to their country. But it is easier to argue that people aren't owned by their country (a claim present only in your rhetorical question, and absent from the article), than to argue that they have no duty towards it and their fellow countrymen.

> The rest of the article seems to assume that Poland would be better off outside of the German value chain, which borders insanity.

Does it? It seems to me it's pointing out the ways in which Eastern Europe is being exploited, and the claim that they'd be better off "outside the German value chain" is again purely your invention. Should they not complain until the situation is so bad they'd be worse off as an isolated economy competing alone against giant colluding countries and unions of countries?

It's telling the only criticism you have is not for things the article says, but for what it seems to say or imply.
I have thought about San Francisco. It really does feel like this whole city is empty. No stores stay in business, no one seems to be walking around these neighborhoods. I have considered if you can fly around with a plane at night and use something like heat vision to determine who is home?Because I think the stats are just not correct for SF
> All the apartments in and around me are all the time rented out as airbnb. During peak of pandemic, it was pretty much a ghost town.

What you mention around Airbnb shouldn't be addressed through a buy-to-let ban, but an airbnb or short-term rental ban, which already exists in various forms. If there's problems with enforcement, address that. The ghost-town you described happened regardless of airbnb but due to literal lockdown measures that affected everyone, in particular the local population, you don't see the effect anymore despite tourists still largely staying away.

> Because of the rising prices, the annual property tax to be paid also increases dramatically.

No that's not correct. Typically Dutch municipalities tax based on what they need. If they need 1 million, they'd charge 1% of 100 in property values, or 2% of 50 million in property values. Price increases don't translate into higher property taxes.

You can see a video of how Utrecht does it, on their own website: https://bghu.nl/belasting/ozb

In fact, in Utrecht property tax rates decreased by about 22% in the past 6 years, due to increasing home prices.

Of course there is inflation, in absolute terms the number is increasing. But what you're describing isn't happening. I own a home in Utrecht, too.

Many studies in the Netherlands have shown investors aren't the cause of the price increases, I don't think this policy will solve things. It'll just relieve some pressure on the buying market and put extra pressure on the rental market.

> People blame the low interest rate

Yes, these people are economists, including the Dutch Central Bank, the AFM, every bank, every professor, in countless studies. The effect is clear and obvious.
They definitely do.

DOI is the correct thing to link to because the author or publisher has chosen this as their canonical URL for the object. The DOI could and sometimes does point to the pdf, it's just conventional to point to an html version of the paper. It would make a lot of sense to me to standardize a field in the DOI metadata containing the PDF URL. (source: I manage the DataCite membership of a large organization)
I used ledger / cl-ledger for some time, but they do not correctly support multi-currency accounting, which is a show stopper for me.

Lots of people would go to great lengths to secure a job at Microsoft, so I'm not sure if it counts like a failure, just not a runaway success.
sized free is good for safety if your malloc cross-checks the size argument with its metadata, and for performance if your malloc assumes the size argument is correct without having to hit malloc's internal metadata.

There's also a middle ground where you get more ILP by assuming the size argument is correct (for performance), and overlap the work of `free`ing memory with a confirmation that the size argument matches malloc's internal metadata.
Well, it depends. Is the cure for mice, or actual humans.
As they said the jurassic park, life finds a way. They will probably reverse engineer it pretty fast.
> But it seems even after being a react god master you will still be x10 times less productive than an average rails developer for developing an everyday feature.

This is a very enlightening point, maybe because the creators of React can afford to pay for unproductive gods, and those crazy assumptions are accidentally embedded in their tools, unlike rails, which was built by a guy trying to solve problems in the optimal way.

The real issue is when such tools become the standard for everyone else, and this often happens because giant corporations have the capital to push their bullshit, just to make their hiring process easier.
> did anything lead you to use non-bluetooth wireless devices

Not really. I just had them ["non-bluetooth wireless devices"] laying around and I think the non-Bluetooth ones are cheaper.

> I'm wondering if the future of Linux might be abandoning bluetooth entirely.

Abandoning Bluetooth just because your experience was unsatisfactory is not something I agree with at all, sorry. IME, Bluetooth support is completely fine for all the Bluetooth devices I have (like speakers or my cell phone)—and I know others who haven't had any issues either.

Besides, Android uses the Linux kernel. While I don't know if Android uses Bluetooth drivers from the mainline kernel, if it does, that would just make Android's life harder while pointless removing something that usually works fine.

Windows 7 was released in 2009. If you bought it then you've had free upgrades for 12 years.
I think it's more like "if the camera zooms in on it or otherwise draws attention to it".

If everyone leaves the room and the camera zooms in on a piece of furniture then you would expect that piece of furniture to have some sort of importance or role to play later. If, as a character is leaving a room, a piece of trash falls out of their pocket and the camera focuses on that piece of trash then you expect that detail to be important to the plot later.
That definitely made the inventory cycle more extreme
It’s the same incentives the UK had to stay in Europe. Ninety plus percent of their trade is with each other.
Inlining the ctable into the object would only be faster if

- you have very few objects

- you have very few virtual functions

If you have a lot of objects or a lot of virtual functions, things will be less likely to fit in cache which will entirely destroy your performance, by an order of magnitude when compared to a mostly-always-branch-predicted indirection.

I remember experimenting with a an "inlined" version of std:: function and just having inlined the 5 ctor/move ctor/copy ctor/assignment operators was already slower than the vtable version when going through hundreds of callbacks ; imagine for something like Qt where QWidget or QGraphicsItem have 20+ virtual methods.
It's the typical Eastern European (or non-US centric) Internet. The IP laws make sense only if people have the capital to buy stuff. When I was a kid in a post-Soviet country, no one ever bought anything original (like a CD with a game). Everything was bootleg or pirated from the Internet.

After [the US lobby started to push for copyright enforcement in the EU under the threat of sanctions](https://falkvinge.net/2011/09/05/cable-reveals-extent-of-lap...), things have changed. The copyright and IP laws that US lobbies push to the world are killing the idea of free Internet and only benefit large corporations that are untouchable.

Elsevier is Dutch-based and they are fierce in suing everyone who tries to get away with getting free papers that were paid for by the taxpayers.

The "free" Internet doesn't exist anymore, but it's good to have places like Russia where the IP law is not strictly enforced, because everything is broken so no one cares.
Actually, it's called hacking. Denial of service hacking is a felony.
Humorously, the term "orientation" comes from when Christian Europeans traditionally had Jerusalem - in the east ("orient") - at the top of the map. It wasn't until around the time of Mercator that they started putting North at the top.

But also less knowledgeable. A single facts in more valuable than a single opinion, all else equal, since an opinion is true for one person, but a fact is true for everyone.

So it's good to know when someone is stating a fact or opinion (or an educated guess, which is in between)
Universities, especially in Europe, base hiring and tenure decisions in part on where a researcher's papers are published. A paper published on arxiv has less value to advancing one's career than one published in a journal run by a well-known academic publisher.

This also makes it hard for researchers to organize their own journals, separate from the publishers. Many universities (again, particularly in Europe) use the publishing company as a proxy for the quality of a journal, rather than letting researchers within a field make that determination on their own. Thus researchers are forced to stick with the exploitative publishing companies because universities demand it, despite spending most of their time reading and sharing preprint copies of papers.
I don't see the contradiction, could you explain?
Well that's cynical considering all this surveillance arises out of mere political indifference and/or laziness.

Before any falsehoods get mentioned, in the poorest countries you'd better believe there's always a guy ready to make a micro business reflashing things for the technologically unskilled for pennies. If the demand exists.

I'd say: less cynically, this whole thing paints a new target for the Chinese to chase with cut throat prices even lower. Meanwhile, as pragmatists, these Chinese manufacturers aren't categorically hesitant to make reflashing hard. Because they're not best friends with US companies to begin with to care.
I think the evidence from the various studies along these lines is pointing towards dogs legitimately having empathy.

And an empathy that is strongly compatible with humans.

We aren't just talking about understanding feelings. Empathy includes the ability to see and understand a situation from another person's mental and physical point of view.

Previous studies have shown that dogs can understand a human pointing at an object, and even mentally shift their perspective to understand what the human is pointing at from a completely different direction.

The implication of this study is that dogs are genuinely putting themselves in the human's point of view and understanding that the result was not what the human intended and failed due to clumsiness.
