> Tesla shouldn't get a say.

You make a fair point. But then again Congress shall make no law abridging the right of the people to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Obviously they get a say. Everyone gets a say. Even (hell, especially) for things that are "self serving". The government serves us all. We regulate for the benefit of society, not the industry being regulated!
There's a catch though: fuel taxes in Europe are important part of government's tax income. In my country it is like 10% of all taxes collected. Now, if everyone switches to electric vehicles this income source will dry out. Governments will have to replace it with something, so my guess is, they will at some point impose similar taxes on electricity.

that is not really different from Ferrari or McLaren or any other of the fastest cars on the planet.

EDIT: i'm being downvoted but these manufacturers build machines capable of extreme performance, and have interest in maintaining their reputation. If you think i'm exaggerating, there are repairs where you are required to ship your car to the McLaren or Ferrari factory. The Ferrari FXX is not allowed to leave the track ever.

I don't see why it's hard. You screen admission of an ad to the auction "floor". Shady javascript/links? You don't get to compete.

Admittedly, this means you need an army of ad moderators, but that's not a hard problem. Social media giants already use an army of underpaid moderators for moderating their platforms, so seems like it's just table stakes for running a platform. Screening ads should be a cakewalk compared to moderating social media.
reaper was built by programmers who took advantage of everything software can do, so you can a) script the hell out of it b) customize it like crazy c) route anything anywhere. So for building power user interfaces for linear editing it's great. It does not have built in instruments.

So do we consider this a fine or a bribe? Either way it's someone who did (and continues to do) something terrible getting away with a slap on the wrist.

I think the answer looks different when you talk about NYT (a large organization most of us probably trust to not steal) vs smaller websites/blogs. I wouldn’t pre-pay some no-name blogger $5 and trust them to charge me properly.

With the pre-pay model, you may even end up with each site dictating it’s own payment terms, which would naturally create opportunities for scammy terms that users don’t understand until their money is gone.

A tipping model incentivized quality content and keeps funds under the user’s control.

In this specific case, it looks like some Strike-related company will have custody of funds, which does defeat the purpose of using a decentralized payment method.
I like it when people disclose that they have a deeper connection to a company being discussed than most people. It's fair disclosure, especially because it indicates where their biases may lie (and we all have biases).

But once someone says "I work for X", they must also say that they're not representing the company. Companies get a bit upset if their employees appear to be representing company positions without authorization, even if no reasonable person would thing they were.

Not to defend Tesla, and I don't know the details. But very likely that old replaced battery would remain with Tesla and they would scrap it for parts or otherwise recycle it into a "refurbished" part to be sold again. Might be they would ask more than $16000 for the repair if you decide to keep the old battery yourself.

Other companies apply this as well, it's an economics of scale thing. It's not worthwhile (ie: profitable) for them to have every technician in every service location educated to a high enough level to do low level troubleshooting on every model and every part, it's much cheaper to hire people that can swap out modules and ship those back to a central facility. There you have people that do nothing all day then troubleshoot all parts they have been specifically trained for, repair them and sell them as refurbished. A lot would probably still end up on the landfill. And whether the customer sees any discount in repairs due to this "optimisation" is debatable. But right now you hardly have a choice, I hope that will be changing.
As far as I can tell there are two classes of ad blockers: 1) Those that sit outside the browser and provide a proxy that blocks requests to known-bad domains or similar filtering, and 2) Those that integrate with the browser and have full control over every page, in order to neutralize any HTML or JS or CSS that looks like an ad.

It seems to me that the latter type open up a vast new attack surface. These addons have full access to every piece of data flowing through a logged-in webpage. All your Gmail, all your bank, all your Hacker News.

How am I supposed to believe that these addons are themselves not sources of malware and vulnerability? They need to have the same standard of transparency and testing and supply chain security as the browser itself.

I’m willing to believe that Mozilla and Google and Apple will not willingly introduce vulnerabilities into their browsers, but the vendor of BlockUrAdsPlus or whatever? No way.
Ask HN: Why is the MS default: No, remove the files?
I might put off the decision making of the Document Recovery task too often, but as a result I've noticed how often I have to thoughtfully select 'Yes' before closing Excel/Word. If the default were 'Yes, I want to view this files later." then I could just click OK.

This default seems to go against the norm in software of making the user actively select delete/remove.
FB's valuation is currently around $1T. Shareholders should be pretty happy with what Zuck has done with FB's business and this seems sufficient to justify protecting him from what would have been a major personal distraction.

But by all means, have sympathy for all those shareholders who were forced to invest their money in FB stock against their will and without any knowledge of the ownership structure.
Well Sid Meier is right, and the term interesting is broader than just simply knowing the state of the board at all times.

DF proved it for me. Essentially there’s a meta pattern in human behavior to avoid uncertainty. This robs you of the fun that can be had by embracing chance and risk.

Plus the “bug” I encountered was spawning near a magma vent and a yellow “i” chucking a fire ball at my stockpile.

If DF fulfills it’s goals, I doubt anyone can predict all the interactions.
I would argue against that argument. Arguably, Zuckerberg was instrumental in getting FB to where it is today. It is not inconceivable that protecting him is protecting shareholder value.
> we do need to buy less crap

I really wish there was an easy way to do this. Price has largely been decoupled from quality. Reviews are fake. Flaws are not obvious until it's too late. You don't have the right to repair. Warranties are useless. Companies are basically not competing on quality--they're not directly colluding but in effect...
"The next generation of cobblers isn't just repairing boots" is a better title.
That is half the answer. When I let people try my mechanical keyboards, especially the Cherries, I emphasize that the goal isn't to mash the key until it no longer goes down. Rather, the goal is to stop mashing somewhere between the actuation point (usually ~2mm) and the end of key travel (usually ~4mm). This corresponds to 45-60 grams of force depending on switch type, and staying in this range makes for a relatively quiet experience on quiet switches.

But nothing is going to quiet the sound of switches designed to give audio feedback, such as the Cherry Blues. I do not recommend those for use in an office or even at home with other people at home.

Magic stuff indeed, I didn't see that vid before—gotta rectify this with her other videos.

Personally I only used recognition with photos a couple times, to identify some things. Now, that right there is a power user of the feature.

How does the phone even process the images that quickly? I was under the impression that generic models to recognize a wide variety of things require beefy processing and plenty of memory or disk. Or, are latencies on mobile networks that low in the US or wherever she is? And, do people really use mobile internet all day long—especially transferring dozens of photos?

P.S. While we're on the topic of magnifiers: MacOS has the feature where the onscreen magnifier can be shown temporarily with the keys ctrl-alt, and follows the mouse. I have rather moderately poor vision (so far), but I'm using this quite often to gawk at smaller things on the screen, instead of bending myself closer to the monitor or trying to zoom the webpages. This especially works wonders with hi-dpi screens, where zoomed-in areas just have the old-dpi resolution—so I really can see small details in images, as if having separate images of those parts. With landscape photos, the effect is great.
Hey. I do this! I should have done this years ago instead of trying to deal with English language keyboards or those few ergo boards that do support Nordic/Swedish/Finnish layout.

It is not about learning the different layouts. There’s just not enough keys here, unless I start switching layouts based on writing language. So much money gone, especially to get the more esoteric pieces shipped here.

I am contemplating adding shortcuts to unused halfs of the keyboards.

Note, the Kinesis Advantage is the one with "cups" that have keys in them in single keyboard.

The Kinesis Freestyle is split into two halves and unlike the Ergodex or similar it's just a standard keyboard layout which makes jumping back and forth between other computers less of a hassle.
> It seems to me the ad providers would have a huge incentive to counter this narrative and to make damned sure ads are safe.

Kiwi has become my goto Android browser, and it's not even close. Primary reason being chrome add-on support.

But it does have a high number of quirks make it through to release versions. Like tab ordering in the current version is broken, such that swiping tabs are in a different order than browsing tabs.
Kinesis also makes split keyboards. Since they are talking about mushy keys they are clearly talking about the Kinesis Freestyle with membrane keys.
This reminds me of Manila and the "rules of thumb" you need to have/follow. For similar reasons. Usually nothing happens but that's also because you have "situational awareness" to long avoid situations that could become dangerous.

My ex would never allow me to travel alone - I always had to be with one of her armed brothers. Being armed is technically illegal but that's really a barrier if you pay off the right people. You want a Glock or even an AK47 or M16/AR15? Just pay for the privilege.

My "fondest" memory is of a Magnolia ice cream shop being guarded by a placing security guard with a semi-auto shotgun as children were playing on the playground outside the ship.

>forgetting how much more flows into an industry that is killing us.

It's not very much. People who write white papers for their think tank or who want to push a particular agenda like to say that not taxing something or someone is the same as subsidizing them. Which is definitely not true in reality. It should be simple enough to see that not taxing has a floor at $0.00, while subsidizing something has no limiting bound at all.
Why don’t Apple and Google and a group of like-minded firms develop Fortnite? You have a limited number of resources (employees, money, executive oversight, time) and it is better to spend that perfecting what is already in your business than pivoting to an entirely new industry. Developing a smartphone is incredibly difficult with a very high barrier to entry for something that could actually compete in the marketplace. Who provides connectivity, CPU, GPU, cellular, OS, display, camera, audio, video, etc? This would be very significant effort for a game developer to get into.

Based on my own experience, I don't think any of this is necessary.

Context: Back about twenty years ago; startup; spending 18 hours a day, 7 days a week for about 2 years almost full time in front of the computer coding, electronics design, 3D CAD, etc.

I developed pain and soreness on both wrists. Inflammation too. They were warm to the touch. I resorted to things like coding with ice packs on my wrists. It sucked.

I also had context from work in another industry where I knew people who had surgery on their wrists due to the pain and inflammation. Not fun at all. And, no, it did not solve the problem.

Other than repetitive motion, the root cause is bad ergonomics. Splitting the keyboard or using two keyboards does not solve the problem.

You need four things:

1- A low actuation effort keyboard

2- A trackball --mice are horrible, they require far more motion and effort than the task demands

3- A good adjustable chair (Aeron is what I use) with adjustable arm rests

4- An ergonomic desk, not an office desk

#4 is where I went to work and designed my own [0] [1]. The other factors are somewhat subjective and require you to experiment until you find what you like.

The effect was almost instantaneous. You setup your chair to match the arm rest height to that of the wrist support bar on the desk. And you relax. You have to learn to relax. You hand naturally droops into the cavity where the keyboard and trackball are. The objective is minimal to no attitude (orientation) support tension on the upper tendons. When you eliminate this tension, the problem is gone.

The trackball makes it so you don't have to move all over the place to use the GUI. This is particularly true of a multimonitor or large monitor setup. Sorry to say this --because I know there are people who like them-- mice are horrible. The same is true of touch pads. Great for low cost integration into thin laptops, horrible for ergonomics. I use a trackball on my laptops as well.

If this worked for me (18 hours/day, 7 days a week, 2 years) it has to work for anyone doing less than that.

Normal office desks are horrible. They are a relic of the days when people wrote on paper by hand. A modern ergonomic desk designed for extended work on computers cannot have a single flat surface at 29 inches (74 cm) of height. That's ridiculous. The ergonomics of using a keyboard and mouse/trackball on such a surface are 100% wrong.

Measure the height from your elbow to the floor while relaxed on your chair. Femur bone should be horizontal, feet comfortably touching the ground, spine is comfortably vertical (not slouching), shoulders relaxed, forearm bent at 90 degrees (horizontal). Is that 29 inches? Nope. It's probably in the 25 to 26 inch range (63.5 to 66 cm). Guess the height of the keyboard shelf on my custom desk? The wrist support bar is about 1.5 inches (4 cm) high, sanded to about 600 grit and stained with Tung oil. It's reasonably friction free, not sticky or perspiration-inducing. The edges are rounded to, if I remember correctly, a 1/2 inch (1.3 cm) radius).

They're out of style, but keyboard trays that extend out from the desk let you get the keyboard lower and closer to you for better shoulder and arm positioning. You don't need a split unless you're zombie-arm reaching for a keyboard far away on top of your desk.

Personally, my arms are very long so I actually type with my keyboards directly on my lap. My upper arms hang straight down, my shoulders completely neutral.
The people of a country have an incentive to shape collective behavior that affects the collective, now and in the future. Straight taxes on the item causing problems is the least corruptible way to do it. Such as taxing fossil fuel.

The market will then allocate to which needs the remaining fossil fuel usage should go towards. Presumably, not to using pickup trucks and SUVs to take kids to soccer games and shop for groceries.

> I find the extra key travel of those switches fatigues my fingers/arms far more and makes me feel far more like I'm going to have RSI.

I just can't bear the thought of using mechanical keyboard where I have to lift my fingers too much to be able to move them and press another key. For me, the less I need to move my fingers up/down, and the less pressure I have to apply, the better - as in, hurts way less

The reason it doesn't go well with politicians is because, in a massively complex modern economy, the "losers" in an unexpected default are nearly always a wide swath of average citizens and public institutions. Why? Because they are the ones who dump all their savings into "safe" mass market investments like blue chip stocks and corporate debt ETFs.
Absolutely love my Dygma Raise. Link for anyone interested: https://dygma.com/

My only gripe with it is that I wish the wrist pads were detachable - not because of the quality (which is good), but because I use a keyboard tray and they're a little bit too big for the amount of space I have. Also agree that an F-row would be nice, though I've gotten used to layer shifting for extra keys. I even have a layer that puts the letters on the right side of the keyboard onto the left side, so when I need to click around a lot while typing I can type using my left hand only and leave my right hand on my mouse.

The thumb cluster is perfect and the software does everything I need it to do. Customer support is great. And with their silent linear switch option (Kailh Silent Pinks), typing is very quiet and suitable for even an open office. No problems typing at full speed on it either since it's not an ortholinear layout, I was hitting my usual WPM (~135) the day I got it.

I have seen mentions of repairs here, just read a report from insurance companies recently. Tesla's or electric vehicles do not burn more often than other cars.
The repairs are 10 percent more expensive and some of the repairs require electricians(not necessarily from Tesla).
Conclusion was, if something breaks, it's really expensive, like some high voltage cables can easy cost 7k. I think Tesla gets too much negative press on this matter.
