They're in for a shock then. I'm not a passive "product" to be sold to advertisers. Treating human beings like that is abuse.
Anyone who thinks 2022 is going to have a downturn is mistaken, IMHO.

Foreclosure moratorium + low interest rates + rising home values (aka, equity) gave most folks whom would be in the rears a chance to refinance. Only true deadbeats whom didn't work are going to go nuts up, and since the labor market is tight, there are few of those. Aka, housing will not resolve.

Many businesses have already started raising wages. When the unemployment boosters stop, people are still going to want a living wage, and there will remain competition to do so. The labor shortage will not resolve.

All the science on Delta variant clearly spells out a longer 'covid life' outcome, anyone whom says we need more data is being ignorant. COVID will not resolve.

We're not the only country dumping money into the streets, and with China doing well, they love buying American stocks. Along with the rest of the world. That's a ton of money entering the market. There will not be a correction.

Unfortunately, Bitcoin will also rise. There's no incentive for the whales to bail out now, especially as miners are finding energy at true wholesale cost or cheaper. It does make it more resilient. As much as I hate Bitcoin, it too is going to be benefit.

I'm not saying there will never be a correction, but it's not going to be in early 22, and I still doubt late 22 as well. You heard it here first.

This has been a long time coming. I remember they started working on this back when Microsoft switched to Chromium. If I recall correctly, back then a Microsoft engineer was doing a lot of the implementation. I wonder if the DevTools team's refactoring of their codebase [1] had a lot of impact on this i18n/l10n work?

> Trucking is an industry that while it does have good jobs for people, it is just a pure cost for literally everybody. Everybody except the truckers themselves would benefit from lower trucking cost.

Right, this is exactly the neoliberal argument for importing and outsourcing jobs.
Coming from a country (Australia) where federal elections are 100% run by and under control of an (independent) federal agency – I wonder how much of the recent US controversies over voting are due to the fact that the implementation of federal elections is something under state (and often even local) control?

Would a "federal takeover" improve things? Have the FEC (or maybe even a new successor agency) actually run presidential and congressional elections?

Of course, I realise it is very unlikely that legislation for such a "federal takeover" would make it through Congress, and if they did, there is a high likelihood that SCOTUS (especially with their current majority) would strike it down as an unconstitutional encroachment on state's rights.
Slightly aside -- I have never worked out why everyone calls it a "driver's licence" (or license), as every one I've ever seen, on all sides of the pond, is clearly labelled a "Driver Licence" in big bold letters.

It doesn't appear to be an attempt at plural (obviously that'd be wrong in any case), and possessive doesn't make any sense in either this, or the common use, context.
Is there something similar to this in the US?
This is completely useless to our adversaries. The US runs disinformation campaigns so that in the case of an actual leak, the enemy would have no idea whether what they’re looking at is real or fake. They have to either disregard it or risk spending vast amounts of time and money chasing a decoy.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28683773 gives a useful way to employ them; Chicken Scheme has to run a minor garbage collection and longjmp to its trampoline before the stack runs out, but because there's no way to find out what the stack size limit is at runtime, you have to configure a stack size limit when you compile it. The CPython interpreter could also use them usefully; in order to ensure that recursive loops in Python programs raise a Python exception instead of segfaulting, it defaults to a limit of only 1000 levels of Python recursion, because some platforms it ran on were segfaulting at 2000. If it could query the stack size limit, it could instead raise an exception when it's getting close to the real limit instead of guessing. They wouldn't be like access().

The articles are ridiculous. The point is that they didn't get published anywhere meaningful, and that they were deceptive about what did and didn't get published. If they're willing to be deceptive about something as silly as this, why should I think they're unwilling to be deceptive about other stuff?
For one, their map isn't restricted to areas that have paved roads or are otherwise regularly occupied by people, unlike the cellmapper map.

Radio propagation maps are used when siting new cell towers, for example. I'm not a radio wave propagation modeller, but my understanding is that 'assumptions' include things like treating trees as columns with a height equal to tree height and a diameter equal to tree crown diameter, for example. Accuracy depends on the type and resolution of input data (eg photo-derived elevation models vs lidar point clouds).

See [1] for some examples. I have no affiliation with them, it's just a site I have bookmarked.

This doesn't stop nearly as many people/companies as much as I wish it would.
On sunny days our garage door won’t open until the remote is very close. Either the solar panels or inverter generate enough noise to interfere with the signal.

A few months ago our garage door openers started working like normal again. That was great until we realized it was because the inverter had failed. When the inverter was replaced, our door problems started again.
Hmm, I'm not sure what the best solution is but having open, unrestricted access seems like the better solution.

> Concerns about the study include fears that its data could potentially be misused by other researchers seeking to ‘cure’ or eradicate ASD.

There is a fine line here. The average person would be better off not having ASD just like they would be better off not being 'deaf'. Unless you disagree which gets into a tricky area.

Leaving a person's abilities up to chance is arbitrary and doesn't solve anything. Unfortunately we can't let everyone decide for themselves since these decisions are done prior or soon after birth.

Restricting a parent's ability to decide the health of their offspring also seems more wrong until you realize a parent could decide to make their offspring deaf, blind, etc.

> Seriously, look at the UR5, when was the last time you loaded a dishwasher with 0.1 millimeter precision? Or which kitchen appliance did you use for 35.000 hours at full capacity? Or what clothes weigh 5+ kilograms?

The author underestimates the physical requirements for most tasks we do day to day. 0.1mm precision is roughly the accuracy you need to put a #8 screw into a clearance hole toleranced for a loose fit. One might think when loading a dishwasher that you don't need to be precise because the dish can go "anywhere", but in reality that's just because a human fundamentally understands where plates can and can't go, and can adjust their movements accordingly. If you are trying to place a dish on a granite countertop, and the plate goes 0.1mm into the countertop, you're going to notice. Such a robot arm would just barely be able to peel a potato.

5kg of payload may sound like a lot, but it really isn't. For starters, that doesn't include the weight of the end effector. Then this is the max load that the robot can support, but if you need to manipulate something quickly and precisely, that further reduces max payload. Holding a single item of clothing should still be fine, but what about say pulling on an item of clothing out from under a pile of laundry? Or how about lifting a pot of water off a burner on your stove? Pouring a glass of milk from a gallon jug would be close to the limit of what such an arm can handle.
> It's not nostalgia. It's an observation that the middle class is shrinking.

Sounds like nostalgia of some sort, “Remember the good old days when we could all drive trucks then just come home and drink a Bud in front of the TeeVee.”

Middle class, working class, lower class America is completely fucking brain dead, burn it to the fucking ground.
+1, though in general designing an iterative solution is more effort for problems that have intuitive recursive solution so OPs argument has some merit.

I don't see it as an unfortunate thing for private spaces. It's very natural, and realistically the span of opinions where you can get productive dialogue going between people is not infinite. You're never going to get any useful discussion from, say, anarchists and neo-nazis talking to each other.

Disclosure: I am the current head of growth at Mercury

- Mercury is online first and built for online companies... that means you never have to go in person to sign documents, we have APIs/integrations that connect to the tools you likely use for your business, etc.

- Many of the bigger banks charge fees or have otherwise poor experiences (wires, maintenance, minimum balances)that Mercury is better at: free accounts, no minimum balance, free wires, and just a general attitude of no-fees-wherever-possible

- The design and craft of the product experience around Mercury is super high - little details like transactions filters, easily being able to copy any account/routing number or auto-filling addresses, etc, make a huge difference when you compare side by side.

- Lots of other reasons, but I'll wrap with we're just getting started =)

But don't take my word for it - search Twitter (https://twitter.com/search?q=bankmercury) and see what our customers say
Nope, mundane claims still require evidence, and it should be even easier to find and present.

I am flattered. Let's say my platform somehow get popular, and bots is hitting it for no financial reason at all, they still get the one reply per node limit. Also I have a global per user replies limit per day.

If you have an orchestrated army of bots hitting me, then I would get DDoS'ed, just like everyone else. However, that has nothing to do with content moderation at all, right?
Ethically, if someone is quite clearly using the user agent string to function as a lock restricting access to their IP, does it really matter that it’s an objectively terrible lock?

How so? There's a ton of other choices for how to prove residency. For example, here's your choices if you live in Texas: https://www.dps.texas.gov/section/driver-license/texas-resid...

If you have a car, you're good, since the vehicle registration and insurance count as the two documents you need. If you have a job, you're good, since a W-2 and a pay stub count as the two documents you need. If you don't pay any bills, and you don't have a car or a job, then you're almost certainly living with someone else (probably your parents), so you're good since they can fill out a Residency Affidavit.
I would hope they are paid well. It seems like the type of product that benefits from fewer, more experienced (expensive) engineers.

Elrond from the hobbit, "There is moon programming here.. see?"
This is big news in Michigan. Granted several of these new plants will be making batteries. Workers will get union pay and benefits but will have to vote in the union. This is the first time in over eighty years one of the Big 3 have built a plant that wasn't default union. The reason is that Ford wouldn't have to go along with the union featherbedding which would lower their costs.

For example replacement workers will be trained to do several jobs, not just one. Laid off workers will just receive unemployment insurance and not receive 90% of working wage etc.

This is risky for several reasons. One of these plants will make the new Ford F-150 Lightning pickup. The Biden administration has proposed to deny Tesla consumer tax credits for buying an electric car because they're not unionized. Would they do the same to Ford?

What i love about these problem-solving anecdotes is how a seemingly totally different domain is the key to the solution. It always makes me marvel at how interconnected everything in our World is.

These seem like fair criticisms of the details around e.g. data usage and privacy, but the study itself seems incredibly valuable and I hope it goes forward as planned with suitable data protections in place. Based on the critical comments quoted in the article, it unfortunately seems like the loudest voices in the community - who absolutely don't speak for everyone on the spectrum - have deeper issues with the topic of study itself and will just find other, misguided reasons to try to cancel it anyway.

Because the problem is that we need id so often not that its inconvenient. You should need it for a passport, to show a policeman if pulled over, and if applying for welfare benefits or accessing govt services (voting, tax stuff, etc.) Basically nowhere else.

I don't understand why services like 1password even exist. They just increase your computer's attack surface. Am I missing something?

It’s right there in the article. The “test drive” the author is talking about is an off-roading event organized by Rivian. There are several videos on YouTube about this event.

Driver's License as a possessive makes as much sense as Driver License. Driving License would probably make more sense, though.
My solution to the maximum line length problem is simple: if a piece of code has more than 3 level of indentation, I start to think about refactoring, and never let it have more than 5.

I find that any reasonably complex code with 5 levels of indentation becomes difficult to read, and with more levels the difficulty grows exponentially.

At least with languages I have significant experience, keeping the levels of indentation low never was a problem. But I never did serious amount of coding in LISP or Python, for example, so I don't know if this is practical in such languages.

Well, it's pretty clear from the article that a significant chunk of the 'test drive' occurred off road.

And it only makes sense that regenerative deceleration with a motor at each wheel would provide much more granular control when crawling over rocks or other loose surfaces than a friction brake system would.

Other manufacturers of conventional off-roaders have had to design and implement 'hill descent control' systems to serve this very purpose; using the brakes individually to provide a controlled descent.

With a driver pressing on a brake pedal, equal force is sent to each wheel, which may cause locking on one wheel (and thus loss of braking force), and increased demands on the other wheels, which might lead to locking/slipping and a loss of control. Anti-lock brakes aren't really designed to solve this; they pulse the brakes at that wheel to un-lock them, but once they decide the wheel is turning again, they'll allow it to lock right up again.

The Adventure Journal review is a bit more in-depth from someone perhaps a bit more experienced.

Yeah, it is, but it is also true

A single truck degrades roads thousand times more than a personal vehicle, yet they don't pay the equivalent on taxes because these costs need to be externalized in order to ensure that trucking remains redituable because of how fundamentally and structurally important it is for modern nations

Generally the best offset is just to reduce the amount of truckers needed for last mile delivery and just use railways for most of the travel as trucking again, relies on a high degree of externalities, be them social, economic or environmental to remain revenue positive

Again, trucking will forever exist, because it is important on a fundamental level, but ideally you would use railways as much as possible for logistics transport etc

I think this is because old school message boards had a sense of community between existing users and there wasn't a large influx of users at any single point. If one person comes in and starts running amok it's easy to just ignore them, tell them off or ban them. But now there's less persistent forums that people are a part of, so there's a lack of community standards that people just naturally gravitate towards. There's no overall community between, for example, people who comment on youtube, so any youtube comment section is just whoever happens to stumble across it.
