> Testing autonomous vehicles on the public road is dangerous and non productive in any way or form

Where are the accidents after many months? None, so nope, not dangerous just because you think it is.

> Exactly. Last time I checked R&D is corporate responsibility not public data exploit or "free work". People don't get it at all. If you will use my driving data, you must pay me or give me some incentive. I work for money, you are selling expensive product so how about half the price?

Oh so it's money problem now. If Tesla paid people for Beta testing, it'd be fine? So you're ok for people to allegedly (which I don't agree with anyway, but most of the rest of you do) risk each other's lives as long as they get paid.

Well, you can say the same about Apple, Google and pretty much any other company that runs Beta testing. People rush to do it for free and wait in line. They are compensated by having access to latest and greatest without waiting.

You think getting paid means they are not exploited? How about paying you for you kidney. That's OK? You don't seem to understand what being exploited means.

> The technology must be produced and tested to death, before is introduced to public roads. Touch interfaces implemented without any concern of ergonomic prerequisite are proven distraction and risk.

Stop with the blanket statements. Where are you numbers that shows Tesla's are getting into more accidents? You don't have it because it's not only there but it's the opposite. Tesla's get into far less accidents that general fleet (those numbers on Tesla's report).

> You can check the sales stat of NAS servers in recent years or resurrection of the flip phone.

You look at a jump in NAS servers and flip phones and conclude that they're going to take over SaaS and slabs? Go look at the relative jump and magnitude of SaaS increases too.

> Yes, some people got madly rich on marketing Cloud and AI scams and "user generated content", so what?

Ye, the fact that a one person with a few bucks can now access what was only available to few multi-nationsal a decade ago is a scam. Do you also think the Earth is flat and COVID is a hoax?

> Moving everything to SaaS model is clear madness.

If you're actually trying to do something of value, and someone takes off a huge payload off your shoulder so you can get there faster, you'd be a fool to not do it. Time is the ultimate currency here and anything that buys you time is a win. So in principle, SaaS, IaaS and any other XaaS is a win.

The only time it's not a win is if one is either mandated to keep sensitive data in-house, or runs such a large/custom workload that no other provider can economically meet.
> It implies his success is because of his race

That's not racism.

It may be describing (either simple or structural) racism as a contributing factor, but acknowledging racism isn't racist.
1890-1940 was vast in terms of change. Electrification, long distance communication, automobiles, refridgeration ... just totally overwhelming compared with anything since then.

You are literally confirming what my grandparent post said:

Where do you hear about all the time Teslas saved lives? You don't, because even throwing evidence in people's face, they only list the fuck-ups.

Maybe this is a just a trivial wording mistake, but the "replaced" here is completely inaccurate. "Changed" would be fine.
I went from 98 to XP to Linux. I stayed on Linux for more than 10 years, then I switched back to Windows 10.

I was tired of having to configure my system, or fix the problems after each breaking update. Too much choice, kills the choice.

Cross-compiling to Windows was a real pain, now on Windows with the WSL, it's just so easy. Also HyperV (for virtual machines) is just way more performant than KVM or VirtualBox.

The only thing I would complain about Windows would be the occasional lag when doing Disk IO.

Don't get me wrong, I still love Linux, and I am still grateful for the Open-Source community.

But saying that the ecosystem of applications is good enough on Linux is a lie:

- Gimp is nowhere near Photoshop for Graphic Designers
- Cubase doesn't run on Linux, which is a widely used software for audio editing
- The Adobe suite (After Effects, ...) for video editing is absent too on Linux
- ...

Yes there are free/open-source alternative, but they are never the standard in the work field.

EDIT NB: Cubase works best on Mac

For someone as active on HN as you, I’m surprised you don’t know of the numerous stories in the past about carriers selling location data to advertising networks and the numerous cases where the raw data has leaked publicly via careless aggregators[0]. Like even Congress got fired up on it at the time because of leaks, but you can be assured it’s still happening[2] despite claims otherwise.

As to the precision argument, US cell carriers can locate you to within 150ft easily in a city / populated area (and are required to be able to by the FCC[1]). They don’t just depend on multiple tower triangulation, but use much more advanced techniques (can provide sources if asked). Back in 2017 multiple carriers were demonstrating to my then employer how they could generally even determine what floor you were on in a building within a range of 4-5 floors. Apparently now the FCC mandates it to be within 10ft[1] vertical accuracy now in the top 25 markets.

The same PRS system that tracks a UEs precise location for E911 / law enforcement / government use / etc is also used on tracking the general usage of any customer of the carriers all the time.

My son, to everybody’s surprise, learned my(father) native language (Hungarian) much better than his mother’s native language (Ukrainian), even though we both are the only ones talking to him exclusively on our language, as we live in an English speaking country. He speaks Ukrainian ok, but his Hungarian is just perfect, and is at par with English. It was interesting, and I didn’t know what to attribute it to. Then we got another kid, and as he is approaching 18 months now I can see already he speaks way more Hungarian words also! Indeed, my anecdotal conclusion was that it must be the language (and mind you, the Ukrainian and Hungarian languages are absolutely different) that made the difference, everything else seemed the same, especially with WFH for the past 2 years.

I won't be upgrading for this reason alone. This is not about being used to the old way and not wanting change, it's about not wanting to switch to something that is objectively worse and will make me less productive.
The problem is a sanely run conventional currency is sanely run until it's not. For EUR, USD, etc., that could be a very long time, but at some point, they may face the same structural forces that causes other currencies to overly inflate, e.g., economic conditions change, political winds change, and suddenly you have elected leaders making disastrous choices. Your solution is akin to saying that dictatorship is the best form of government, just make sure the dictator is a good and competent person! This is true, but ignores the precise issue, which is that you can never actually assure the critical qualifier.

By contrast, BTC, with an algorithmically determined monetary policy, does actually solve the issue. And the other issues that you raise, i.e. that a highly volatile asset is a poor unit of account, are not actually issues -- you can simply transact in USD (or a stablecoin) for most day to day matters, while having the ability to always revert to BTC or other assets as an uninflatable store of wealth when desired.
Way way more accurate than to the tower, even more accurate than just using triangulation alone these days.

> The internet has totally replaced most previous industries.

Other than other media distribution and telecommunication industries, and some of retail, it hasn't replaced much. It has impacted lots, but impacting and replacing are very different.
I'm bothered by this comment. PICO-8 is one of the most vibrant communities in existence for beginners making games. Thousands of people have made thousands of games with this software. The price point to purchase is extremely cheap, supports the person that created it, and the licensing allows people who purchase the engine to distribute it in their own games. It is one of the most open, empowering, user-supporting pieces of software in games.

I think this community has a huge problem with thinking that releasing the source code to things automatically makes them accessible and automatically empowers other people, but there are plenty of open-source projects that are actively user-hostile. The reality is that all too often on this site when people say "I wish this was open source" they aren't saying that out of any interest for how that would make the project better or create a better community, but instead are saying it from a standpoint that only considers how it would benefit them personally.

if we are going to 48V then pretty sure all power switching would use solid state relays/MOSFETs, Any mechanical switch would just be the input to a micro at 5V or lower.

You could also just switch the HV (400V+) bus directly down to 48/60V as all the high current devices motor/ac/power steering etc run off the HV bus and you would just be left with lights, entertainment and servos on the low voltage side. The 12V battery is probably a bit silly when you have a 50KWH main battery and 97% switching conversion efficiency regulators and I am guessing it may disappear in the next 10 years

You could do that. Or you could probably breed them from excess neutrons in some fusion reactor.

The original handheld "brick" phone, the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorola_DynaTAC , came out in 1984. This was the beginning of the period when cellular phones were seen as expensive status symbols and specialist equipment. (In fact the phones were often still carphones and transportables https://www.mobilephonehistory.co.uk/arcticles/80s_brick_pho... .) Then in the early '90s, about the time that GSM digital service came in, prices began to drop sharply and wide adoption began. (One sign of the change which got some attention at the time was that the SWP https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialist_Workers_Party_(UK) , a somewhat ersatz radical-left UK fringe party, was seen using mobile phones to organise its then very successful steet demos.)

Usually, when you make a little project, you use the tools you know the best because you don't want to spend time coming up with something from scratch.

Yeah, what else are you going to do when you get a 2fa prompt that you're not prepared to phish?

And you probably already blew your cover getting to the prompt, may as well make a go.

A Postdoc in a higher school than where you graduated is definitely par for course, but honestly it’s one more gambling step with at best 30% chance of netting you a good academic career. Your postdoc can still be underwhelming and also unless your PhD was stellar, you’re not betting a postdoc in a top lab anyway. The point is, given that you can’t explicitly choose the lab you want to do a PhD in, it’s just better to try and increase your chances by going to a top institution. If that’s already a hard proposition then the competition only keeps getting worse over time.

The 15 minute early thing compounds as well: each level of supervision expects their people to show 15min early for a variety of reasons; at the lowest levels it's to take roll and address absences ("send someone to go wake up Smith, NOW!") and to brief individual or small group* responsibilities abd/or meet up points, and might even include travel to an intermediary or ultimate rallying point which itself has a 15 minute early policy. And from there it continues. 15 minutes for each subgroup to arrive at and find their place in the bigger group, repeat until everyone is gathered. Could end up being hours early as an individual in order to account for this. In the end it's nothing really important and your day was "wasted" (cue separate discussion regarding "your" time in a military).

> A massive reduction in population growth helps more than doing nothing. That, however, to many people is unacceptable for religious and ideological reasons.

The entire concept of “need” and what is “helpful” is ideological, so you are simply stating your anti-human ideology and shock that other humans have a pro-human ideology. And if you continue inflicting yourself on the world, it's a hypocritical anti-human stance, as well.
Well, basically the 'market' is just people trading. People react to incentives and have preferences.

Luckily, people are hypocrites, so they will say that we should 'buy American', but then happily engage in free trade. Or they say that we should segregate races, but then greed dictates that it's more profitable not to discriminate like that.

Yes, if people are bought and sold, that also happens on a market. Alas.

> However it is obvious why this is all happening. And that is Intel and Qualcomm inhibited growth and squeezed too much profit from the market.

It's not that intel and qualcomm have squeezed too much profit, it's that Apple, Google, Facebook, etc have too much profit. Apple and Google are worth $2 trillion. Facebook is worth more than $1 trillion. Intel and Qualcomm are worth $300 billion put together. These tech companies are big enough and monopolistic enough to own their entire hardware stack. It's like when Rockefeller and Standard Oil got so big that they "bought" the railroads that transported their oil.

Apple and Google each make more profit than Intel and Qualcomm's combined revenue.

This is really, really misleading because you are looking only at Federal prisoners which is only ~10% of inmates (most being in state prisons). In the US, each state has its own penal code and things like murder or rape are generally not investigated or prosecuted by the Feds, so these prisoners do not end up in Federal prison.

But drug trafficking that crosses state lines is, which is why drug traffickers (the vast majority of federal drug inmates are traffickers, not users) account for ~47% of Federal inmates. However just because they were convicted of drug trafficking doesn't mean they are non-violent offenders or did not commit any other crime.

Moreover be aware that when you say "non-violent" crime, this includes things like breaking and entering, fraud, grand theft auto, bribery, witness tampering, etc. Very few people truly support not incarcerating a person because they only stole someone's life savings but didn't assault them.

So what is the real data? It's tough to say because again each state has their own penal code and own statistics, but let's look at Texas: https://www.tdcj.texas.gov/documents/Statistical_Report_FY20...

About 25% of those entering the correctional system Texas ("intakes") were convicted of a drug offense (see page 2 of the report), but because these offenders serve shorter sentences or are diverted out of prison, on average only 15% of the prison population at any point in time is there because of a drug offense (see page 10).

Now I have no idea whether Texas is representative, perhaps other states are harsher on drug offenses, but I think it's safe to say that 15% is a reasonable upper bound.
