If you send the googlebot user agent, and you’re not googlebot, that’s misrepresenting a fact. Same if you use curl and send a Firefox user agent. That’s all a fraudster needs to do - if the hearer of misrepresentation relies on it and is harmed then it’s fraud.

It doesn’t matter that the user agent is trivial to misrrpresent. Just because it’s trivial for me to phone someone up and tell them that I’m from Windows support and there’s a hold on their social security number and they need to wire me money to help get their grandson out of jail in Nigeria doesn’t make it not fraud if someone relies on those misrepresentations and is harmed by that reliance.

Immunization requirements are going to vary based on your local laws, your school's policies, and if your school is public or private.

For example, here's who immunizations requirements apply to for college students in Massachusetts:

https://www.mass.gov/info-details/school-immunizations

>Requirements apply to all full-time undergraduate and graduate students under 30 years of age and all full- and part-time health science students. Meningococcal requirements apply to the group specified in the table below.

And New York

https://www.health.ny.gov/prevention/immunization/laws_regs....

>NYS Public Health Law Section 2165 and NYCRR Title 10, Subpart 66-2 require students attending post-secondary institutions, who were born on or after January 1, 1957 and registered for 6 or more credit hours, to demonstrate proof of immunity against measles, mumps, and rubella

I've set up a couple of monitoring systems at a couple of different companies and one thing I've heard some people saying is that they don't care about "fancy graphs", they just want a dashboard of what is red and what is green.

This might be a manager vs engineer perspective, because for me the graphs are the main point: it allows me to spot

- patterns (each night, each weekend, some weekends, more-or-less-randomly-except)

- and also trends: at this speed we are going to reach 80% utilization before November.
I will make the mention that in actuality Rust is worse here, I am very sad in this point since I like this language. But I am new to it and find out that the mascot is a "gender non-binary", some woke thing. Here is only one example, but community over all is rather hostile against people with "traditional views" (most of the world, I will comment, and much of U.S.) Is good language and I will keep making use but not engage much with community.

Maybe that's a a good thing? Per https://phenomenalworld.org/interviews/trade-wars-are-class-... the rest of the world is chucking all sorts of junk at once --- per the high elasticity of the demand we barely want it but "oh fine" we'll take another shift if they are just that cheap.

If we're the dollar exporter, we should be able to call the shots in other ways. Dollars for democracy (hah), dollars for rail not cars, etc. etc. It's a massive soft power and develop-for-greater-good opportunity, but we choose to get inundated with cheap crap instead.
There should be a tax on vehicle models proportional to how dangerous they are to others, whether that be other drivers, or cyclists, or pedestrians.

Heavier cars pay more, lighter cars pay less. Cars with better collision avoidance tech pay less, cars with none of that pay more. Longer braking distance pays more, shorter braking distance pays less, etc.
Sounds like the author is waxing lyrical about regenerative braking? A bit breathless and certainly veering into marketing (rather than analysis) territory.

I remember how absurd that thing was, and I always feel bad for the Sokal experiment getting lumped in with it. Proving that a journal will publish incomprehensible gibberish is a very different result than proving that some journals will publish papers that you personally think are silly, but which are otherwise coherent and meaningful and so on.

Ironically, my personal takeaway from the grievance studies thing was "it turns out that niche social science journals have higher standards than I'd have thought."

I had a similar issue in my industrial automation class. We were sorting cylinders by diameter and height as they went down the conveyor belt. PLC controlling motors, sensors, etc.

My group got everything setup, built our program, and everything worked fine. Waited a few minutes for the TA to verify, but it failed. We changed a few things, it worked, but failed when he came over.

Another group looked over our code, no issues noticed.

Finally I realized I was standing when we were testing things. I sat down waiting for the TA to verify. My shadow blocked the sun from the photo eye. Wasted half the lab on an issue that was entirely dependent on our position in the room, but found the root cause.
Early prototypes of the Rivian were used as crew trucks on Ewan McGregor's and Charley Boorman's Long Way Up series. They drove electric Harleys from the southern tip of South America up to LA. The crew drove two Rivians.

Amazing cars. Looks super promising.

Saw one driving around SF a few weeks back and they look fantastic, if a little toy-like. Especially the front lights look like a toy.
We shouldn't be hurling ad-hominem attacks at the author, there is more to it in the article.
Why do you think so? A stack container ordinarily contains a single data type. You can jump through some hoops to let it store completely arbitrary types, but when you consider a function's stack frame as a distinct type, the call stack naturally does that for you.

I fondly remember sitting in the display window at the local Radio Shack saving my typed in programs to a cassette tape machine ,
connected, of course, to a Trash-80.

It was almost pure luck if I managed to save the silly little thing, and all i was really interested in were the games.

I do remember to joy of getting a little ASCII slot machine game actually working after like 3 sessions. and the guys at the RS were so impressed that they left it running and used it as a in store demo.
Ok. Thanks. So no real changes with iOS 15
Yes, on the contrary, if the labor market wasn't tight, there would be little investment in automated trucks in the first place.

But if we were really serious about the driver shortage and freight bottleneck issues, we would simply build more rail. We've had (basically) driverless trucks before the driverful kind!

The fact that investors flock to AI hail maries and not tried-and-proven infrastructure demonstrates the limitation of the demand on one hand, and asset bubble in tech on the other.

Could you list some examples of software that require you to go through permissions or billing for every usage? Otherwise, this is a made-up concern.
To be fair, I deployed on US Navy ships twice. It is better to think of it as fking with eachother. We tail them for a week or two, they tail us. Russians fly an aircraft over us, we do it over them. I think it is more about showing off than actually threatening. Media only presents this when Russians or Chinese approach us, but not the other way around.
The Ars review was fairly positive as well.

What makes that estimate "conservative"?
It's not a lie. Maybe in Canada everyone can do the right thing so you guys don't need laws, but here in my state in the US

-Immunization requirements apply to ALL schools, both public and private schools

-There's no religious or other non-medical exemption allowed.

Those are facts, not lies.

My friend also had to get an antibody test prior to being allowed to register for classes. That's a fact, I saw the paperwork.
This is exactly my point. Establishing that regenerative braking is "especially helpful" for a particular driving context feels like a conclusion one could not reach during a test drive.

More likely that the author got some talking points and maybe even data from the fine folks at Rivian.
Seems like a funding problem, and I wonder if investor sentiment for electric vehicles will help. During the dot-com boom, investors were clamoring to fund all kinds of companies.
But there is no rise of autonomous vehicles. Vehicles equipped with driver-assist features still require drivers. Suggesting that automated lane-keeping and traffic-light detection etc. is putting drivers out of business is like suggesting that autocomplete is putting writers out of business.
Nice, but I think it would look suspicios if there was no gaps.

More likely they suspend/throttle your usage to ensure a given level of services to the people they’re selling extra capacity to.

Lots! The maximum chamber pressure allowable for a given civilian caliber is set by one of two regulatory bodies, SAAMI (US) or CIP (EU). In some countries firearm barrels will be tested (“proofed”) at 125% of set pressure to ensure consumer safety, and then stamped with a proof house specific mark. My understanding is that the US doesn’t require this, but any imported barrels will be stamped.

Specifically CIP sets the maximum pressure of 22lr at 24,646 psi. An extremely high number considering, but pretty pedestrian compared to other cartridges. For example NATO sets a maximum pressure of 62,366 psi for its primary rifle caliber, 5.56x45mm. It’s genuinely amazing that rifle barrels don’t regularly explode, to be honest.
California already taxes trucks (like this one) based on weight.

> Advocating for [...] an increase in “acquired immunity” (read: let COVID run rampant and employ whoever survives) is incredibly ghoulish.

He doesn't advocate for that anywhere. He only mentions that it is playing a part, in adition to vaccinations, in building up global immunity. This is a simple truth. He does not glorify it or advocate for it.
The weight on a single axle of a school bus is more than the entire weight of an R1T, and those go on basically every American street. Should we ban school buses too?

You don’t “simply” build new rail in America. Nothing is simple about constructing new rail.
It's nice to see positive reviews, but the one thing that fundamentally concerns me is design. Are people really going to spend $73K on a truck whose front end looks like......that?
This isn't true, there's plenty of non-US people on Blind including me.
While that's a solid video overview of the Rivian, I don't know if I would call it a review seeing as it doesn't offer any criticism nor does it go into any depth about range.
Lol. They included GAB and bitchute in the list. I'm not convinced the alt right funding is all that real if those are included in hate groups
It seems like you're very upset about a very small fringe group.

Can't do rail for last mile, and installing rail to every small town is mind boggingly expensive and impractical.
Worse... it's a bit of a menace. Dangerous to be hit by, and worse for the roads due to its weight.
We should permanently boost demand which will allows environment investments to pan out better and make us all richer. But too bad, we rather have loose labor markets to better lord it over the masses than more prosperity for them and us. In fact, we unlearned economics --- "boosting remand has no long term effect because..." --- to better doublethink and not confront the fact that we were anti-growth.

Perhaps ironically, the biggest pedestrian/cyclists tax would fall on EVs, as they seem to be involved in more accidents due to pedestrians/cyclists not hearing them.
I'm bookmarking this thread on pinboard because of all the good pointers here.
It's more luxe than any of those trucks, though, and carries a starting price of $67,500. Up to $100,000.

For a pickup truck? The electric Ford F-150 starts around $41,000. Which, with the base F-150 starting at $29,290, is still too much.
They assume all their customers are on single person machines.

Back in 2013 I posted a Show HN (was changed to Tell HN) for our one year old mattress startup Tuft & Needle. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6900625

The post resulted in a Fortune article (https://fortune.com/2014/01/22/meet-the-warby-parker-of-matt...) which helped to catalyze hockey stick growth and triggered a wave of vc money into the industry, we turned the interest down. The vc money resulted in new competitors for us (Casper/Purple/+200 others as barriers fell). This collectively caused massive change.

We grew to 250mm arr before we merged with serta simmons in 2018.. to disrupt within their brand portfolio. We’ve been working on their brands to mimic our model.

Our growth was 100% bootstrapped with no more than $6k. My co-founder and I seriously attribute our show HN as one of the reasons we were able to build our company the way we did and for spurring interest in our competitors to enter the market. The competition also accelerated our growth without the need of funding, their VC money fueled advertising raising awareness.

Anyways, one data point for you. Super grateful for this community.
+1, I had this issue as well and went through a bunch of futile efforts to block the sun and the angle and wish I had replaced the transmitter a lot sooner instead of trying to move trash cans because that worked 50% of the time.

Genuinely asking, do you think this is an option anyone has? I firmly believe that over 50% of the country could want to do this and it STILL wouldn't be done.

Yes, EVs cost more up front today. But you can't forget about how much cheaper they are to own: electricity is way cheaper than gas, there's way less maintenance, and they last a lot longer.
The single screen experience in Immersed is also fantastic. I do 90% of my work on a single 3840x2400 monitor. I also have a 1920X1080 "above" that and angled down. I put terminals up there that I don't need to check very often.
I interpreted the words “less… concern about COVID” as being serious. It’s entirely possible that those words were incorporated as some sort of joke or gesture though, I suppose

There are some things that tesla does that I think are poor design, and that is the most egregious. lack of tactile controls for critical functions is just as bad, like touch controls for turn signals... ugh.

To be fair, westerners are cutting down their reproduction below replacement rate. That's far and away the most impactful thing you can do to cut your personal contribution to carbon emissions.

But yeah, fretting about energy efficiency on the margins is a waste of time and cognitive effort. The world economy and travel largely shut down last year and it barely made a dent in global emissions.

Our choice is rapidly decarbonize energy production and figure out carbon capture or bust.

Not at all.

VC investors flock to Hail Marys because industry disruption makes outsized returns (which is their investment thesis).

Investors who want stable, predictable, long term returns (eg retirement funds) love infrastructure projects.

You could easily use Firefox as curl with a bit of scripting, then of course it would be using Firefox's user agent by default. There's no fraud because there is no difference between a browser user agent or a custom one. They both mean the same thing.
I think there is some functionality such as google.appengine.ext.db (not ndb) which is not directly available, though? And task queues seem to be completely different. But I accept that for many applications, there are close alternatives.

Edit: And as a point of reference, our application has hit basically every single GAE limitation/quota over the years, including the 10,000 file limit (mostly source code files). So migration is a serious concern.

I've considered myself center-left and left in oscillations. I am pretty upset by what these people are upto on both sides. The extreme right is incoherent in scientific truths and the extreme left has been in a self-inflicting journey to destroy themselves. So none of this non-sense makes any sense to me on the media these days.

I've talked to a bunch of people and apparently this is everyone's experience. I recently started watching for the giggles, Fox News (oh my, which I would have never ever done it before) and surprisingly, lot of it makes sense for the first time ever.

Everyone's risk of getting covid is 100%. It's an endemic disease that's never going away. _At best_ the vaccine would only postpone the inevitable. Also, vaccine does not prevent you from getting COVID. It just significantly (about 10x) reduces your chances of dying from it. That is enough of a benefit for most clear thinking people to justify getting it. Yet the government tries to piss in everyone's face and tell them it's raining, with its "mandates", and it's encountering the rather predictable pushback because facts on the ground do not at all align with what the talking heads on TV are saying.
