Yes, by 10-20mph. Not down to <40mph. I thought it was a smart idea when I first saw signs about it on a road trip many years ago, and incorporated it into my own driving before the law had been widely adopted. I aim to do most of my driving at less busy times, so I often end up moving over a lane even if I'm not in the rightmost lane. And actually it's a good idea to do the same for all stopped vehicles, regardless of lights - amateurs are even more likely to make mistakes.
I have no source to back up this claim but I think SergeAx is referring to YouTube themselves making less money.

I think you are right in saying that YouTubers make more money, but YouTube themselves might lose more by not showing ads.

Assuming salts are not reused they negate rainbow tables but you can still crack the passwords it just takes much longer as you have to crack each one individually [1].

You're confusing editorial bias with inaccuracy. When CNN says there's a fire in California there's probably a fire in California. That list of very subjective allegations of bias or mistakes out of what's probably tens of thousands of stories they run per year. And I'm fully aware it is a for profit business run by fallible human beings. What I'm saying is that it's a fundamentally ethical and reliable source. One that almost always gets their facts straight but is not able to cover every angle. That's why I read a variety of sources.

I'm not comparing them a mythical platonic ideal media organization. I'm comparing them to outlets that are willing to push blatant falsehoods like birtherism or vaccine denial while giving "equal time" to climate deniers or the Laffer Curve economists. Fox was run for decades by a guy who loved conspiracy theories and was not bothered by colluding with politicians on one side and not the other. OAN and Newsmax are worse.

And on top of that a lot the hatred towards CNN is based purely on politically motivated lies. Trump hated them and told his supporters to hate them for spurious reasons. He would accuse them of lying about "the Russia thing" without citing an actual bad report as a way to distract from the factual reporting that made him look bad. Spreading mistrust of the media was part of his playbook to control what people believe and it worked extremely well.

I’ve experienced this in a Tesla. It slammed the brakes on without warning in the middle of a freeway and dropped our speed from 70 to 30 in seconds. Luckily there wasn’t a truck behind us otherwise we would have all died. Tesla fans tend to waive stories like that away with “yeah it happens sometimes” which I think is a pretty astonishing response to what really felt like attempted murder by a car.
> Maybe we should stop trying to protect things that are easy to copy like website designs and wedding dresses.

You get half your wish as wedding dresses aren't covered by any intellectual property laws except for big designer dresses which use Trademarks. Copying the dress design itself is expected and a regular part of the fashion industry.
Well, the problem is...they have no wealth. They may have low paying jobs or even two jobs. Or a reasonable job yet high debts or living expenses. Barely getting by, with no prospect of ever building up more meaningful wealth.

It's super cool that their 5K turns into 6K in 10 years time, but that doesn't do anything. You might as well turn it into 100K. Or lose it all. Fuck it.

I don't think you understand the dire situation of younger generations. In my country, the AVERAGE home costs 485K USD.

The median salary is 36K. Young people have salaries lower than that. This allows for a mortgage of 166K.

So unless you're born rich, you won't ever get a house. Perhaps they can rent then, and meanwhile save up? No. Private rent eats up so much of their salary that there's no room to save. Which would be pointless anyway as real estate appreciates faster.

They can't move out, they can't start a family. These people have a life to live. My dad was 19 when he had a rental house, married, two kids, and 50% of disposable income on a job requiring no education. Now people are 35 and still don't have the basics in place.

Hence, crypto. Which is not just a bet. It's an expression of full distrust against the supposed "sane" traditional system.

Why not focus on the real issues? Because they are unsolvable. Wages cannot rise significantly as nations compete in global capitalism. Real estate won't become much cheaper. Jobs security will not increase and student debt is unlikely to be forgiven.

If a young person working full time cannot afford a roof over their head or start a family, is in perpetual debt, and has zero job security, perhaps some start to wonder what the point of it all is.
I specifically laid out what I do, and what I believe most other people do, as humans having to cope with increased danger. I'm in no way trying to defend Tesla, but rather pointing out a general road hazard that needlessly exists and that perhaps isn't being handled gracefully by automation. This idea that a vehicle can always fall back to stopping comes from the same mistaken place as asserting that a human driver can take over at a moment's notice.
I understand the motives behind keeping it vague, but at a certain point doesn't the vagueness remove all value? What is the point in releasing a statement effectively saying "Our sub hit an unknown object for an unknown reason in an unknown location and the damages are unknown but do not threaten the ship"? Why say anything at all at this point?

It's probably paid for by the better fee structure on payment processing: credit card processing is generally a base fee + a percent of the purchase. By having people put $20 on a Starbucks card once rather than making 5 different $4 transactions, they reduce the fixed charge they incur by 80%.
Yes, with any form of money you can try to convince the authorities that a different, incomplete, or empty cache of funds is the thing they are trying to seize, or that you simply don't have what they are trying to seize.

Whether the authorities believe you and whether they decide to inflict the alternative consequences implicitly or explicitly threatened as part of the seizure mechanism ... depends on the information that forms the basis of the seizure, the personality and nature of the individuals involved and the regime they serve, and other factors.

Features that make it harder for authorities to be certain you are lying when you are also make it harder for the authorities to be certain you are telling the truth when you are. This is not universally beneficial.
But you have to admit there is a line where it does make sense. Approaching this from a property rights point of view, no one has the right to encroach on your property. If a plant next door to you is reducing the air quality on your property, that is a violation of your rights.

Imagine that’s the case. There’s a plant next door to you which pumps very dangerous emissions into the air. The air you breath is now poisonous, and you die. The plant is (or should be) directly at fault for killing you. (Indeed, there are plenty of examples of factories that have done just this. Today, maybe killing less people, but definitely killing the surrounding ecosystem.)

Fossil fuels do this, just at a much larger scale with impacts that are less local and more global. In other words, it is harder for you to specifically identify how your rights were infringed because the impact is global instead of local, and it’s gradual. That’s why it’s hard to get people on board with these proposals.

But your rights are being violated nonetheless. What environmentally-conscious people want is for industry to stop polluting. Since slapping a law on everything saying “don’t pollute” is probably impossible, carbon pricing is an interesting alternative. It takes a free-market approach to making the externalities of a certain process matter to the company.

Since companies are focused only on profit, they won’t care if they’re polluting because it’s the cheapest option. But if it costs money to harm the environment, that should make the company “care” about the externalities.

Along with that, it should incentivize the market towards less-harmful solutions in a dynamic way. So the “externalities cost” is built into things like producing a solar panel. That way, everything competes on a level playing field instead of a politically charged one, or even one where companies aren’t accountable to their externalities.

I can only speak to myself, but I decided that covid is not a threat to me, and neither is the vaccine (being safer than driving). Hence I would just go with the path of least resistance: take the damn vaccine so people will shut up about it and let me be part of society.

The number of intensive care beds available in New York City pre-pandemic was about 1,600 - total.[1]

The population of NYC as of 2019 is 8.419 million. 8,419,000.[2]

NYC couldn't have more then 0.02% of its population in hospital at any given time. And that number is not available capacity - that's total. Generally at any given time 50 - 80% of those beds are in use for other patients since you don't build ICU capacity just to have it (remembering that ICU capacity is beds + equipment + supplies + staff).

If you're referring to the McDonalds hot coffee case then it's a better example than you may realize. The case centers around a customer who has reasonable expectations for the temperature of hot coffee. What she doesn't know is that McDonalds stored their coffee at a much higher temperature than one would reasonably expect, because they advertised that your coffee would be hot when you got to your destination. What follows is a long procession of McDonalds settling burn cases so bad, victims needed skin grafts. Until the case you've probably heard of, where the victim sued for the amount of her skin graft, but the judge awarded her 1 day of McDonald's coffee profits, in an attempt to change McDonald's financial calculus that viewed scalding customers as a cost of business.

There’s a huge gap between the game industry and the rest

Everyone has college degrees, there’s no C++ bootcamp grads

I went to a school which was well-known for its game dev degree so I know dozens of people in the industry (mostly everyone works at Ubisoft) but opted out myself because the pay was way too low
You become a doomsayer by appealing to “think of the children” and their anxiety.

Children have been stressed by disease, poverty, nation state politics… prove it is avoidable before making it a problem.

Of course the environment doomsayers must be silenced, right? For calling for action and change, rather than “stay the course I know to avoid anxiety” which you seek to feel is even achievable despite truths of physical reality.

Like… one of these platforms has merit. And you’re annoyed by it, so let’s be anti-speech. Because then the problem just goes away.

Yeah cooking is really boring to me and extremely unrewarding as I live alone.

I wish I could simply but healthy meals for a few bucks. I mean I can outsource my laundry for 7€ a bag and get it washed, dried and folded the next day. Why doesn't it work like that with food?

There's takeaway of course but those aren't the healthiest of options. It's more a luxury special thing. I wish I could get a meal service like some old people get :)
The Amiga 1000 was the first computer I ever LOVED, but I never could get my head around how to program back in those days. Years later, Objective-C was the first programming language that finally clicked for me and made me feel like I was truly, finally in control of my computer (Macintosh running OS X 10.2).

Now that Swift has supplanted ObjC on Mac and iOS, it feels somehow comforting to know that my ObjC love can live on in the arms of my Amiga love.
I love the idea - if you look hard enough you can find an OS/390 or z/OS torrent - but most of the Hercules emulator documents haven’t been updated in twenty years and I don’t think there has been a software release in approx seven years. I’ve never been clear if the project is still active.
Yes, all the time. I don't know why people do this, it's as if they lose track of the conversation and think they're debating the analogy itself, rather than the thing the analogy is meant to illustrate.

It's very frustrating when they make a counterpoint to the analogy that doesn't actually correspond back to the original point.
The most plausible conspiracy theory I've seen for the complete lack of regulatory action against Bitcoin or Tether is that they're being used to launder money by the US intelligence community.

I like the 2-factor analogy for the driver-assist technologies, which are ordinarily framed as more primitive automation, rather than the low-cost safety boons that they are.

The Level 3 automation systems that Tesla and Uber built rely on two factors too, but they invert them, expecting disengaged humans to snap to alertness at super-human speed, which is just not how our brains work. So of course the second factor only exists as a legal cover to reduce their liability, which is all these players care about as far as safety is concerned.

VSCode has been a HUGE deal. Being able to use the same editor for all your languages and all your operating systems is just enormous to most developers.

It's even beginning to affect the embedded world:

What's wrong with being a blue-collar worker / commoditizing the profession? Seems fine, in and of itself.

If you mean it as a proxy for salaries going down because of competition - so many engineering orgs are understaffed, I don't think that's realistic. And tech is, as they say, eating the world. Demand for software engineers seems to be steadily growing; I'm not concerned about supply catching up, at least within my lifetime.

If you're concerned about working with formerly incarcerated and disadvantaged people - that's on you, buddy. Seems great to me. (And yes, that's on most doctors, lawyers, and accountants too. The legal profession in particular, as another commenter pointed out, is awfully gatekeepy. The medical profession requires a whole bunch of formal training, which we have culturally never been excited about imposing. And so forth.)

> To find out, we ran another experiment in which participants imagined buying a bottle of wine. We had half of the participants imagine considering opening it one night, but deciding not to.

This is the second study like this on HN in a couple weeks.

It seems crazy to me.
When comparing risks you need to account for the outcomes. The rare cases of myocarditis are mild and patients made a full recovery. The rare cases of hospitalization due to Covid have much worse outcomes for quality of life than myocarditis, including 3.5k cases of death in the US in that age group. [1]

So even if the risks of hospitalization were lower, which is 80 per 100k in that age group [2], it still doesn't make sense to conclude that the vaccine is a bigger danger than Covid.

Also don't forget this quote from the article:

> The risk of myocarditis is substantially increased for those who contract COVID-19

Given how easily COVID spreads, you'll be exposed to a risk vector for myocarditis whether you get vaccinated or not.

The article reports that Bukele claims 2.1M active users. Setting up a lightning channel still requires a transaction. It would take days (even weeks maybe?) for Bitcoin to handle 2.1M such transactions even if it did nothing else, and an enormous amount of fees.

More likely, the Chivo app is just a centralized system like a bank (i.e. a database tracking everybody's transactions and balance) and it only interacts with certain entities outside of the Chivo system via lightning.
People are being cautious, that's all. It's easier to brute-force a password with a hash and a salt than it is to do without them.

That being said, I haven't even seen it confirmed that the leak contained passwords or user data.
