18-wheel trucks require Commercial Driver's Licenses (CDLs) with stricter requirements, enforced regulation, and stricter safety oversight. Originally, so did package delivery vans and trucks in many states. It was deregulated by most states so that CDLs were no longer required for several classes of large trucks and vans, and it is those same deregulations that have allowed many "residential" vehicles to grow in size to fit those older categories that used to be classed solely for commercial vehicles (with stricter licensing standards and safety oversight).

The safety problem isn't and never has been commercial vehicles, it has been that America has let the definition of commercial vehicle erode to the point that many Americans believe that exorbitantly sized commercial vehicles make decent residential vehicles.

Just this morning I came across new work from the Berlin OSM community: https://supaplexosm.github.io/strassenraumkarte-neukoelln/?m...
The end-game isn't in sight. We (data consumers of OSM) are just getting started.
"College" in the UK education system already has a definition; it is the place you go from 16 to 18, studying a narrower curriculum than regular school prior to 16. You will also hear references to "sixth form college", which is the same 16-18 education but delivered at the same physical school as under-16 teaching.
I've found YouTube's defaults for a lightly-used profile (my work Google account) tend to be like Charlie Kirk/Ben Shapiro owning the libs type garbage.
We're not married, but we're "living in sin"... Once python shows you that blocks are always encoded with indentation for the human readers, then braces or beg/end are just static/visual interference on top of your code that makes it harder to read. Going from python back to braces or beg/end is like going from DVD back to VHS. You didn't notice how bad the static on VHS was until DVD showed you a better way. :-D

The "Chery QQ Ice Cream" has a curb weight of only 743 kg. The lightest Prius seems to be 1,390 kg.
Devil's advocate here. The article mentions imminent "massive loss of lives and livelihoods". Wouldn't that lower emissions? ie, we aren't likely to need to keep smog factories pumping out pollution 24/7 when the population is slashed in half. I realize that's not an ideal scenario, but it's a fail-safe of sorts.
There's lots of music on youtube. Some "videos" get rewatched hundreds of times.
Pretty much every large government initiative introduces friction that makes someone really rich:

- Covid response (big pharma, hospitals, protective equipment, etc.
care to explain why I am wrong

Because even in cases where cars have hit emergency vehicles, it's because the software didn't see the vehicles at all and just continued driving straight in its lane. Whatever flaws the Tesla vision system may have, the idea that it is programmed to deliberately seek out and crash into emergency vehicles seems pretty far-fetched (much less that it would mistake a person wearing a red coat for an emergency vehicle and therefore attempt to crash into it); I assume this is why people are downvoting you.

How much appeal does an iPhone lose though if it doesn’t have Facebook?
I think no-code tools end up teaching people a new, crappy programming language expressed via UI. It's a coding alternative, not coding appetizer.

Retool is very low-code if you're mostly hitting APIs and/or have someone to help you with initial transformational, and it ultimately using text/code to wire things together.
But the navigation guidance didn't change in this case.

If such a trivial and obvious edge case as navigation changing during the route isn't handled, it just shows how hopelessly behind Tesla is.
Where in the world do you buy these things?!

I keep seeing talk about Ampere. Can I buy from them or do I need to be a business or some sort and speak with a rep?

nvm: they're not being sold quite yet.
A mostly flat city without Winter weather. I doubt this thing - at 27hp - would climb the hills of San Francisco or Pittsburgh very well with two adult passengers in it.
That's the point: looks like a tool made to be the best of both worlds:
You get access to the full debugger, at any point in time, instead of clicking "next" a hundred times and then not being able to go back if you missed something. Here you go forward or back in time, and you can visualize where you are.
This thread sums-up much better than me why people use print debugging (not just because they don't want to learn a tool, or are dumb), and why Replay is the best of both worlds:

Perhaps a duopoly. Shimano and Sram probably run the high-end mass market for most bike components. And in the case of e-bikes, the batteries are pretty pricey.

It's an industry that could use some disruption. Maybe it's too old-school a business though, and the margins are too low for today's entrepreneurs.
True, but AFAIK, only one propels the car without the ICE, the other is used in conjunction with the ICE to control the gearing for the ecvt.
That's because the government forced Bell/AT&T phone lines to be leasable by other companies. Cable and fiber lines are _not_ required to have that kind of competition, which is why Comcast often delivers the only high-speed connection in a suburban area and can price gouge you.

No one is forcing manufacturers to do anything. They a perceive a business opportunity and take it.
Yep. It would be fine to ban them on controlled-access highways, but this would be great for in-town driving.
It seems like YouTube has realized that winner-takes-all is bad for the health of the platform, and is trying to grow smaller creators. I suspect they won't do this, because they realize that it ultimately strangles growth. Mr. Beast (for example) is already spending about $4MM/month on making videos; if they allowed this kind of stuff, well... not many people could compete.

We'll see though!
Just curious, how does one prove 100% safe? Even if Tesla's were show to be safe on every road in existence there are always too many variables. Weather, construction, road condition, other drivers, objects falling into the roadway, on and on.

There is some level of reasonable safety that should be expected, but proving 100% safe isn't a realistic goal, nor is it even a standard for existing automobiles.
GitHub wasn't profitable either when MS aquired it.
it was about the same ARR than gitlab is right now.

Now if your talking about brand and positioning that's another matter.
Oh yes I like Warp, don't get me wrong, but it's odd compared to the "standard". And the Result/Rejection system used for routing confuses people a lot (which is understandable, its use here is quite at cross purpose with normal uses for a Result).
> Personally I don't think the root problem is YouTube — rather, it's your parents' confirmation bias. They want to believe these things.

The thing is, most people, including likely you and me, have some defect. Some aspect of constructing a "good" society[1] is setting up systems to counter the effect of these defects. If you have a system that fosters a person's defects, it is fair to be critical of it.

Or put a simpler way: It's as fair to criticize the Youtube algorithm as it is to criticize a newspaper that only prints positive news about white people and negative news about non-whites. Sure - any given reader can choose which newspaper he/she will read, and the root cause is the reader's bias, but I think most would agree it's a problematic newspaper that is making a bad problem worse.

[1] Whatever that means.
Plenty of material on SPACs online, but per your question, the shares of the spac (SRNG) convert to the target (DNA). If you had units (SRNGU), you also got 1 share (DNA) + 1/5 warrant (DNA.W) per unit.
I remember an interview with Mr. Hotz describing his negotiations with Tesla about the acquisition of self-driving technology he said something to the effect of "I don't need a bigger piece of the pie - I just want the pie to taste really good."

No but I am okay with her executive order, I live in the city and mask up, I don't like that I have to wear a mask, but I wear it when I need to. In her situation, I don't think she is breaking any rules/laws about wearing a mask. She's only around the people that are in her party
Lots of languages target JavaScript too, but only one got very popular, because ecosystem matters a lot. People are going to have to recreate the current JavaScript ecosystem for each languages, and then probably for each framework in that language.
First of all, while fusion makes elements heavier, gravity does not increase this way, since the total energy of the system remains constant, and E=mc^2. It could be that the radius the mass/energy is contained in does decrease, but not all stars end up as black holes, while ack holes have no more or less gravity than any other object with the same mass/energy.

Then, most of your explanation is carried by the solid -> liquid -> gas -> plasma ->... -> dark energy idea, which makes no sense. Dark energy is not matter - none of the observations are consistent with any kind of matter in intergalactic space. And matter of any kind will always have gravity, so it can't be responsible for the expansion of space time.

Half sarcastic, half serious? I think the prevailing theory is that yes these companies are spending tons of money to get a little bit of money, but it's a one time per customer expense and that customer will still be there for many more quarters, paying monthly dues.
One of the reasons for SMT is to keep a wide backend occupied. If a single thread plus a reorder buffer and speculative execution can keep the backend busy, there’s no reason to have more threads.

OTOH, if your reorder buffer can’t keep your backend full, adding threads may be cheaper in terms of silicon area.
Even as a PdM, I've felt the pain here. Usually it manifests as, "we can't solve this user problem because the authorization controls to make this work are too complex."

Looking forward to a world where this is a solved problem.

As far as North America goes, while I can't speak for Canada, I know the US is wholly unprepared for massive migration from other regions. Look at how we view immigrants right now. The last administration's brand was "build a wall and keep them out". These are just the people who are running from oppressive governments or cartels - when global climate change makes the equatorial regions less and less inhabitable from pure heat, apocalyptic storms, desertification, severe humidity, etc. all of Central America is headed northward towards the US and Canada, or south towards Argentina and southern Chile.

Admittedly, we're only going to be dealing with 550 million people being added to our combined 360 million people, as compared to Northern Asia and Europe, which will be dealing with literally the rest of the human species.

The first wave is going to be all the pacific islanders looking to move when the fish stocks collapse in the 2050s to places like China, Japan, and Australia (while it hasn't completely overheated yet).

The next two centuries are going to suck unless we actually do something about it. Presumably after that we'll have taken so much of a beating that some new equilibrium will have been achieved.
I said "compared to many of our peer nations". You are acting as if I said "compared to all our peer nations". Pointing out countries we are ahead does nothing to disprove that there are 8 countries in which we are "usually behind".

But either way, I give up. This isn't worth spending any more time on. Congrats, you win!
> Reasonably certain its not before 8 :)

Well, the bug dates at least as far back as 8.

> I do remember those times tho.

Since you're talking to a member of the team that maintained Java back then, I can tell you that our quality process back then looks like a joke compared to what we have now. Of course, you might have been bit by a problem, but our stability has 100% not gone down (backed by irrefutable data), and most likely has gone up.

> Couple of thoughts on this. Are those tests really capturing the "jvm explodes after 100 hours" issues, like in that bug report.

Once again, whatever we did 8 years ago, we're much more thorough today. We are not bug free, but we don't have more bugs than before, and we probably have fewer.

> But also; it is really nice to see jdk development process stabilise after the terrifying licence changes we got on 8

By "terrifying license change" you mean the 100% open-sourcing of the JDK, and making it 100% open and free for the first time in Java's history that happened in JDK 11? Some people were confused when we made Java entirely free and unencumbered, and made OracleJDK the name of our support subscription, so we've changed it a bit now again. But as of JDK 11 -- and unlike any Java version that came before it -- the JDK is completely open.

> however I dont see any adoptium builds for 17, any idea when I can actually check all this myself?

Adoptium is a project run by an IBM team, and I have no knowledge of their process. Unlike Oracle, Red Hat, SAP, Azul, Bellsoft, and Amazon, Adoptium is not involved in OpenJDK and is not a member of the vulnerability group, so their builds usually come after everyone else's because they're less familiar with the OpenJDK project and its process (they're more familiar with OpenJ9). But I'm sure they'll be able to make a build soon enough.

the most surefire way to health is consistency and the most consistent path is the easiest one. organize your life in such a way that the healthy choices are easier than the unhealthy choices and build habits and rules that do not require much in the way of motivation or conscious effort to follow.
i don’t keep junk food in the house for this very reason, it enables me to be a lazy asshole and still make a good choice without exerting any effort at all. cardio is an equally brainless option that is very easy to skinnerbox for yourself. if requires next to no effort to ride a bike and play mmos all day for what are effectively free endurance gains.
Because while you're strictly right, in a legal and facts-on-the-ground sense, there's an element of trust in these decisions. And the (not-legally-binding) concept of "we're in this together" is part of the startup story, and part of the pitch that company owners use to attract employees away from other high-compensation opportunities.

Employees regularly (as in, basically always) join startups for peanuts in equity compared to the equity held by founders. And they're told "we're in this together, we'll win or lose together"... without realizing that the stock they received was so tiny, that the founders' Win means a private island and trust-fund grandchildren, while their own Win will be one fifth of a down payment on a house, even in the best outcome.

The cap table isn't revealed to job candidates, but they still get vague reassurances that they're being offered a "great package." If they saw how their package compared to the founders' holdings, I think employees would demand a hell of a lot more equity, for the risk they take.
exactly, they are proud to tell you they block videos that are "problematic" from being recommended. But problematic to whom or what is not described. As this would surely reveal their bias in their algorithms. And also who our overlords are.
>I'd argue everyone is (broadly) on a path to authoritarianism, it is just a matter of delaying it as long as possible by refusing to give up ground on basic rights, no matter the reason. It isn't binary though.

Fair enough. I don't agree with that mindset, but it is certainly a valid one.

>I'm not saying that political advertising and lobbying are good, but there are other approaches to stopping it without restricting speech, they are just more extreme in the sense they would require structural changes to the democracies themselves. For example, allowing constituents to override their representatives votes if they reach a quorum.. steps that move us closer to a direct democracy.

I don't think there is evidence that direct democracy can overcome this money in politics issue. The most recent example is Prop 22[1] in California. That was voted on by direct democracy. It was also the most expensive Prop in history by a sizable margin. The Yes side won with 58% of the vote. That was at least partially because the rideshare companies spent over $200m which was more than 10x what the No side spent. This also doesn't factor in the non-paid advertising that these companies did natively in their various apps. I don't know how someone could see that $200m spent by corporations with a financial interest in that law passing without thinking of it as some form of corruption.

> None of these cars lasted in the USA for more than two generations. And the second gen xB is basically a totally different car from the first gen.

The 2nd gen xB had none of the charm of the first generation, and then it wasn't updated for ages, then it vanished.

Then Kia came along with the Soul and basically proved the market for a box car was still there, it just had to be a good value.

IMHO Kia has gone down the same road with the Soul that Toyota did with the xB, the new souls are larger and more expensive, and they don't have as much personality.

The differentiating factor is that most states at least attempt to prepare and design for the understood risks, unlike Texas. I'm not saying other states do not lose power in extreme weather events, but the weather that hit Texas was closer to a ten year event than a hundred year event

There are many things medication cannot do. Psychotherapy is often not about coming up with novel surprising changes, but rather providing alternatives behaviors to help you do what you most likely already know you should be doing. I'm sad it didn't work out for you, and I don't think everyone should be in therapy. But psychotherapy is overwelmingly proven to work.
if you bought a car new in 2019 (as I did), and it is the kind of car rental companies might rent (which mine is), you get letters from the dealer in 2021 offering to buy it back from you for more than you paid for it!

I'm in this situation and it's getting strange if your car is leased. Carvana and the like were offering me thousands more than the buyout amount. Like $5,000 at one point.

But now the automakers and their banks are shutting off 3rd party purchases, meaning the only parties that can buy the car off the lease are you and the dealer. And the dealer has no car on-hand to replace the one you plan to sell back, or if they do they want thousands over MSRP because that's what the market is bearing. So it's a wash.
That average is across all price points though right, not 100k+ customers? That seems a very apples to oranges comparison.
If you take choeger's point seriously, that even with all the cost and problems people still find great utility in cars, then creating an urban environment that doesn't have adequate room for cars seems like creating an environment that is hostile to the way people want to live.
How can the chip shortage cause a car shortage in 1 year?

Cars are not perishable items. The existing supply should prevent us from going into chaos for longer than that.
I don't know, if you look at "money" as the wider financial system, then maybe it is a root cause.

Another commentator downthread mentions the fragility vs efficiency tradeoff, and that's certainly something encouraged by financializing the economy. By making it possible to easily switch between stocks and flows (capital/income in this case pay in full / pay debt) and encouraging whatever makes firms look good in the short term, the financial system helps cause this kind of thing.

We get towers built higher but not necessarily safer.

This looks great, but the extensive Product Hunt badges are all negative signals to me. It makes me assume the product is half-baked and I wonder about its security.

I agree with incentivizing health in general. Doing so without providing healthcare seems wrong.

Doing so through income tax rates is muddling the issues. The rich would hire dieticians and trainers just to save money. If public health is actually a priority, those kinds of services would be subsidized.
Did you read the comment you replied to? I'm so sick of people doing these weird semantic backflips in an attempt to deny that severe weather events are increasing in number, and that climate change is the only known/hypothesized driver for such a change.
