Your city would collapse, and the new jobless and homeless would torch it. Electric vehicles are far too expensive, and always will be. They're luxury cars for comparatively wealthy privileged people. Everyone else has a 20 year old gasoline car that still runs.

This is all due to American cities passing the bill down and never building proper robust public transportation. Now you can't because thousands of business's are in the way, and the wealthy like being in their private little car.
Why would you want to pull the handbrake in a turn while going 50 mph? And what is going to happen if you pull the handbrake at 50 mph other than the handbrake burning out? I have not had a car with a handbrake at all but I drove a few rentals with one and they drove normally even when I forgot to take them off the handbrake, the thing is just a lever with a wire, it cannot stop the car even on idle. Or do they use a rally car with a hydraulic handbrake that does something at that speed?
Exactly how did they ever manage to catch all the bad guys before all this surveillance powers. I guess doing proper police work?
I knew this comment would get brought up haha. God this site is filled with pretentious and anal people who nit pick everything.
Where are you basing this on? In public schools in the US (at least in my hometown in Louisiana), schoolteachers don't get assistants of any sort. You get the occasional "student teacher," who is training to become a schoolteacher, but never more than one.

Faculty at colleges get teaching assistants, but their job is hardly to help with conflicts or prevent violence, their job is to help with instruction, grading, writing homework assignments, etc. When I was a teaching assistant, I myself tended to have 10-20 students in my section, and the class as a whole had close to a hundred people.

> As we saw early in the pandemic, the elites are always visibly chattering among themselves about the topics of the day, and when they form a new opinion, the experts usually quickly cave to agree with them, and try to pretend they agreed all along.

My experience was the opposite in most of the world, where experts recommended lockdowns and masks and most political "elites" (especially in the US and UK) ignoring that to the chagrin of the experts.

So, I'm not talking about the tabs, I said "buttons." The buttons are just icons and have no outline (for example, the close button, the back button, etc)

Also, sorry I made a mistake, I had to edit and add a "no" to it to properly say what I meant in that the buttons have no hint as to that they are actually buttons.

FDA approval is worthless.

The chance of long term effects is not very high. You'll likely survive covid without pneumonia and you'll likely survive the vaccine without an aneurysm.

The reason I was hesitant was:
- It doesn't stop the spread
- I already had covid / the risks of covid are mostly minuscole for healthy young people
- New variants will drop the efficacy

In the end, I did it only because I was planning to travel (which ended up being wise, given the requirements). And I still had to waste money getting tested.
It was the implication. We’ve done that. But now they have changed the rules to no one can get sick again. Their actions speak for themselves, wokey.(I mean that as a compliment)

Just replaced my air filter. Felt pretty bad about it...the cartridge is a mix of plastic and god knows what that seems unnecessarily robust and not eco friendly. Like the appliance itself in build quality. Normally I'd be impressed...but filters that destroy the environment because we destroyed the environments seem uhm not ideal
Graphs are the least restricting data model. I think everything is easier to model as a graph, because its just things (verticies) and how they are related (edges). You mostly get to skip the modelling step.

The benefit of modelling as a relational db is that it forces you to put the data in a form that's easy to work with from a computer perspective.

Question: I use Lenovo laptops that come installed with a lot of bloat. My resolution is to simply got to Microsoft's website and install Windows 10 from their ISO.

Have you compared the bloat of say a factory shipped Windows 10 implementation versus the vanilla implementation downloaded from the Microsoft website?

Thanks
It's perfectly acceptable to round in an article summary like this. Such a ridiculous thing to complain about
My dad used to tell me stories about how when he was a kid, during the drive down to Grand Isle, you would see cars lined up on both sides of the highway for as far as the eye could see because families would park on the curb, set out some outdoor chairs, and fish for speckled trout, flounder, and redfish in the marsh. It was common when they were biting to bring home an ice chest of fish to eat.

Commercial fishing also had no hard limits back then, and so we eradicated the redfish population and most of the specks. We now have pretty substantial limits on how many of each we can keep when we go fishing, to the point where you're doing it just for the experience because you won't catch enough to recoup the gas money.
I've noticed some collaboration between shells.com and Linux Mint. Do you know if Andrew is involved or trying to become involved in Linux Mint? I love that distro and community and don't want to see it damaged by this man.
You act like you can have your cake and eat it too. The alternative is: No one buys the game (except a small segment of the population who are privacy-conscious enough to accept that the lobbies will be full of cheaters), and the game company declines to update the game on Linux, since no one is buying it anyway.
Please make this your last comment thread on HN, this was painful to read. This type of discourse does much better on twitter or reddit, feel free to keep it there.
This may be a "don't hate the player hate the game" type situation. Influencers or aspiring influencers are doing what they do because they are working inside a construct that's set up to reward them for it. They are not blameless, but they are not conspiring to create that damage that social media had done to society, they are in s sense being put up to it by the platforms and users (who by the way I don't think should get a free pass either - PSA: delete twitter)

I used to criticize PulseAudio a lot because for a time it was growing too much, acquiring way too many responsabilities, which would eventually make it one of those programs that is "way too hard to replace" in the Linux Desktop world, so we would get stuck with it for a time.

I am glad to have been proven wrong. I was extremely surprised at the progress PipeWire made in a couple short years. I have been barely able to find any issues even after a couple of months of using it. In comparison, I filed a dozen PulseAudio bugs (some of them with patches, never applied) before I just gave up...
Fair. When I said "it's not their fault" I meant more along the lines as they didn't come up with this ill-advised idea themselves, that others came up with it. They shouldn't have jumped aboard without considering accessibility and usable issues and for that may be they deserve criticism.
What? In which countries are pollution and climate destruction taken seriously?

We live in a world that will protect car and gas usage, no matter what… all of our cities are shaped around cars and roads, young people are excluded from homeownership, but old assholes have access to luxurious parking spaces..

But yeah, apparently electric scooters are the worst hate crime since hitler.
Electric cars still create pollution due to breaking and tire wear.
Good point with the excess deaths (you mean because many more have been vaccinated than have been known to be infected), but there still is the issue that if you are getting the vaccine, you definitely get the vaccine, whereas it is not certain that you catch the virus. And still age and individual risk seem to matter.

"They're so careful about reporting everything that they submitted a lightning strike as a potential adverse event."

So how many vaccine deaths were there so far? It doesn't seem easy to get the number, even though there clearly seem to have been deaths associated with it. When I google for it, I mostly get the unreliable VAERS reports (7400 deaths so far according to https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/safety/ad... ).

Who are developing these changes? Is it the same people that design them? I.e UX people? Does it boil down to stories in sprints for someone to develop? Somehow I don't think this is the result of patches or pull requests by developers in a traditional sense.
Transmission has always sort of been the (or at least one of the) alternatives to libtorrent. I like transmission because they deliver a more cohesive approach be it cli, web based or GUI.

I think it was originally for the benefit of the church, who didn't want people remixing the bible. They just had to add sweetener for the publishers so that they'd cooperate in censorship that would otherwise be to their disadvantage.

Thank you, but I was asking for actual verifiable information that hospitals are getting clogged due to non-vaccinated people. I asked for two reasons. 1) That is not at all the case with the hospitals near me. 2) The recent articles I've seen make this assertion were immediately retracted due to the people they relied upon not telling the truth.

So, before I speak with some of my unvaxxed friends, I wanted actual information to support, otherwise they could (correctly) say not to bring them unfounded assertions.

Also, Columbo's Peugeot 403 Cabriolet shows up in each of the first-season episodes (according to imcdb.org the "Internet Movie Cars Database" that I just discovered the existence of):

• 1. "Murder by the Book" https://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_147439-Peugeot-403-Cabriolet-1...

• 2. "Death Lends a Hand" https://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_88435-Peugeot-403-Cabriolet-19...

• 3. "Dead Weight" https://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_66108-Peugeot-403-Cabriolet-19...

• 4. "Suitable for Framing" https://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_94005-Peugeot-403-Cabriolet-19...

• 5. "Lady in Waiting" https://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_71913-Peugeot-403-Cabriolet-19...

• 6. "Short Fuse" https://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_36906-Peugeot-403-Cabriolet-19...

• 7. "Blueprint for Murder" https://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_75558-Peugeot-403-Cabriolet-19...

But there were two TV movies (the second one made as a "pilot") before it became a TV series, and in the first one Columbo is briefly shown with a different car, a Chevrolet C-Series:

"Prescription: Murder" https://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_876671-Chevrolet-C-Series-1967...

(He doesn't seem to complain about his car in either of them though, so by the time he's complained about it, the car has already been shown on screen, including multiple times in the first episode.)
Any more details? Did Facebook come after him after the book was released or something?

Poll: Covid Vaccine Mandate in Tech

Windows 3.1 UI was not flat design.

And even things like System6 weren't that _flat_. There were subtleties on their UI that gave a little depth to some stuff. But one could argue the _flat_ in their UI was some sort of answer to the limitations of their time.
I guess they still haven't fixed the almost imperceptible shading which indicates the active window.
To test it as you suggest, you'd have to build the full containment building, which are built as domes. That dome structure should lend itself to exploiting concrete's compressive strength and minimize tensile forces. They are also specifically reinforced to increase their tensile strength, since they are primarily designed to contain explosions from within. I have little doubt that one of those domes could shrug off a Phantom crashing into them.

More generally, in order to be successful a traditional armor piercing projectile needs two traits in particular: it needs to be harder than the target, and the projectile needs to be robust enough to not disintegrate on impact. Airplanes are neither of these; they're built out of soft aluminum and are built light to maximize payload, not to be robust. Consequently I would not expect an airplane striking a reinforced concrete building to ever behave as an armor penetrating projectile would.

The part that I'm a bit skeptical of is the suggestion that shrugging off a Phantom is equivalent to shrugging off a 747, which is more than an order of magnitude heavier. Throwing an airplane at a concrete building is like throwing a wet ball of modeling clay at a glass window. Likely to splat, like that phantom did, but if your ball of clay is big enough it might go through. A large enough plane might even knock the building off its foundation, rather than penetrate the concrete.
You have to set up a corporation that has your attorney (or other trustworthy authorized representative) as manager of the LLC. Then all the docs have their name/email/signature, and the LLC can just keep the name of the member in its own records.

It's still PII, but at least it isn't your PII. The droids that process these things are not going to change their means of communication or list of requirements for your deal, so you just have to ensure that the information being plugged into their systems is the information of a placeholder person (ie your attorney/business manager) instead of your own.
Given the criticism towards flat design from both normal users and power users, I have to wonder who their target audience is supposed to be? Is it neither or perhaps flat design elitists who don't represent the needs and wants of users?
One sure thing is the Linux Mint help channel is not on Freenode (but SpotChat)
I think we should collectively focus on priorities.

Replacing flights below a thousand kms with trains and limit road transport to a bare minimum and switch what's left to EVs (or hybrids) would have a big impact already, while also being economically sustainable.

After all companies in the GDO are among the largest and most profitable in the World.

Most cabs are already hybrid even here in Italy that historically resist to changes. The TCO is already lower than ICEs.

An immediate ban on ICE vehicles would only affect the pockets of the low income segment of the population.

The big chunk of pollution comes from vehicles running continuously, commuters use their cars to go to work and go back home.

I just want to add that with Firefox's Containers and the Temporary Container addon I usually just accept whatever, because the cookies are not shared between my tabs, and the temp container is deleted after 15 minutes of closing the tab.

>It sucks to not be able to navigate to the underlying library in your IDE

Which IDE is that? Those I've seen you hit a key, say F12, when your cursor is on a function or a class and it takes you right to where it's defined in whatever module, or shows you a list of objects with the same name in the project and you pick the one you're interested in.

The Truth About a&W's Third-Pound Burger and the Major Math Mix-Up
Interesting! Young adults are comfortable today. There’s infrastructure to support them. Would society survive with suddenly less efficient processes? Everyone needs to pay rent/food/products, but modern transport and manufacturing are suddenly not useable. So, how to source items to do work/survive? I’m sure one solution would be to relocate. Some cities/societies exist with less efficient processes.
Ok, the question is if you could build an oven heated by a heat pump? Yes, you could.

You can reach home cooking temperatures reasonably easily, and probably even large ones. It's helpful that the compressor only has to deal with gases after they got cooled and heated again on the open air, all the really hot parts are rigid tubing.

There will be problems turning the compressor off, dealing with the heat that propagates back through the pipes. You can solve them with some usual cooling devices (heat disipators, fans, etc).
Same can be said of market valuation in 99/00.

And just like at that time people are looking for adjusted valuation measures and all type of excuses to justify unrealistic growth expectations.

Like ALL previous bubbles it will end in tears.
> So, let's hear it from the Germans! Whatcha gonna do?

Nothin' I tell ya, because Pegasus isn't going to be used against me, but against this anti-vaxx scum which is challenging the policies that I very much support.

Seriously though, there are some prolific civil liberties lawyers that might start a legal case. Private citiziens surely won't becaue they'll either be labled a "Russian Disinformant" (if they have a Russian Passport) or a "Russian Disinformant-ed" (if their Vorratsdatenspeicherung has one "fringe" news outlet in it).
Zero legs to stand on with that one. Someone whose job is to manage crime has no interest in stopping or preventing it, and their only interest is using crime as leverage for more powers and budget authority. This person presides over the most invasive domestic surveillance panopticon in the history of the world. There's no moral case or basis in fact for new powers, the public comment is just a signal or tracer flare for something else.

If I had private security and my house were broken into, I'd fire the security people and find new ones who could do the job, not let them move into my living room. Given the tools and resources they already have, the government should reduce police budgets and workforce every time there is a purse snatching so that they have some skin in the game.

Outright banning ICE transportation is a no-go unless we have a plan to alleviate the financial burden a sudden change puts on the lower class vehicle owners. It can be done, but it would be expensive.

Public transport, dedicated cycling infrastructure, and planning policies aiming for the "15 minute neighbourhood" are what you're looking for.
I still don't know what GNOME target audience is. I have yet to find a gnome shell user that doesn't use tons of plugins.

It's like the GNOME dev never actually puts mockups in the hand of real users before starting to code.

When you can single out a very small fraction of the population for a surtax, I think this violates the spirit of "no taxation without representation". If people with last names ending in A-Y supported a special tax on people with names ending in Z, that would not be right either, even if the Z's get to vote like everyone else.

> Why no official numbers?

https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/safety/ad...

> During this time, VAERS received 7,439 reports of death (0.0020%) among people who received a COVID-19 vaccine. FDA requires healthcare providers to report any death after COVID-19 vaccination to VAERS, even if it’s unclear whether the vaccine was the cause.

So, that's an absolute upper limit, which would require zero normal deaths (car accidents, other illnesses, old age, etc.) in nearly 200M Americans over a seven month period of administration.

Confirmed deaths: three so far, from J&J-induced blood clots. https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/acip/meetings/downloads/slides-...
While I'm mostly there with you, I feel like it's a bit too strong to call it elitism. It does assume the user has background knowledge and quickness to recognize the difference between an icon, label, and clickable button and some part of these decisions come from some insularity amongst ux designers may be, so it might stem from some out-of-touch-ness but it's probably more unintentional than being elitist.
That's quite a privileged perspective. Many low wage, non-union workers don't have that flexibility.
>Saying this will affect black people is plain racist.

Did you actually just call me a racist for very lightly touching on the fact that there's a whole lot of racial history tied in with voting rights in the US?

Maybe you should just keep your mouth closed until you learn something about what the hell you're talking about because you clearly don't.

And I'll let the rest of your words stand by themselves. Many legal US citizens do not drive and do not have government ID. Is it a lot? Probably not but it's enough to drive political decisions around voting where fraud is actually not a serious problem.

But really, don't care that a European thinks we should be required to have an ID to vote.
