Totally agree.

Part of the upsize, at least for families, is child car seats. They're enormous now, and children seem to stay in them longer (boosters and things). A co-worker had a mid-2000s Passat and you couldn't fit a baby seat in the back without forcing the passenger into an awkward upright seatback. I'm not sure what you do about that.

I'm in a relatively dense suburb outside DC and I just wish they'd spend a little more time/money on mixed transit options. We're like 80% there, but corners get cut and so bike lanes that dead-end, or sidewalks but not crosswalks, stuff like that.
They rebooted the show for a time a decade or so ago - it was a breath of fresh air, and I'm sad it didn't last longer.

this is bullshit! I already have a hard time convincing people to get vaccinated and this will make it harder.

I can already imagine everyone of them complaining it’s purely for control and will never end….

From a science point of view we need more people vaccinated not a smaller percentage of people with better immunity!
I honestly can't say if I agree with it or not. Article seemed to finish without any conclusion/resolution/climax... I kept scrolling to see if there was more underneath the ads.

Yes, people take more selfies and care about them more.

Is it a purely technology driven change? Is it culture? Will it change again and how fast? Why is it? What is the impact? Not addressed. I'm not even 100% sure if the author IS truly lamenting the perceived disappearance of bad photos.

That being said, my 2 cents;

1. Bad photos still abound. On my facebook feed at least :). They can be bad in many different ways - poor lighting, poor framing, awkward pose or expression, uninteresting subject, or any number of other perceived flaws.

2. There were always people who cared about photography (and took great photos in 70's 80's 90's etc), and those who didn't. Ratio may have changed. If more people care about photography and take great photos - not only of people as article focuses on, but also landscape and food and product and vacation and architecture... doesn't that just raise the standard and as a result we all get better photos to enjoy? If this is not a win, article doesn't discuss why. Nobody is stopping anybody, including author, from taking "bad" or "so bad they're good" or "brutally casual" photos to their heart's content; if the article is of the "I wish more people did things the way I want them to" / "Lamenting random thing of the past that's done less now" format, again, I'd like more depth to it to be interesting. Is there possibility people ARE taking and even cherishing such photos, just not sharing them? And if nobody is taking enjoying or sharing such photos, implying nobody wants to / cares, under what criteria is that a bad thing? :)

3. People will disagree what makes a "good photo". Today fashions are faster than ever. Posed, real casual, fake casual, real bad, fake bad, processed, unprocessed, seemingly unprocessed... all of these go in and out and have their own subcultures. In many ways, a posed 90's wedding photo, by today's standards, looks more awkward than 90's casual wedding photo. Whereas 2015 "casual wedding photo" was "faked" or rather arranged to one degree or another. Our very perception of "Casual look" has changed dramatically. If you want to future-proof, a lightly-processed, lightly-and-invisibly-arranged photo seems to stand test of time the best, i.e. classics seem to remain classics.

4. People have more choices to capture retain and view what they want; remember their own past or view others through whichever selective lens they want. Again, article doesn't even touch on any pros or cons.

So I still feel like I've been bamboozled and am missing the significant half/conclusion of the article :D

Edit; As for modern phones - most flagships now offer immediate one-click change of lighting, blurred background, skin-healing, even focal length adjustment so ears and nose don't look disproportionate. And even to this day, there are people who know to use their zoom lens for portraits and those who don't.
Sounds like another organization has been taken over from the founders by the politically correct brigade. ACLU, EFF, OSI.

There will be no one left to speak for you.
That's pretty wild. Note that the PDP-11 was widely used in control and high-level embedded applications, the sort of thing you'd use a nice SBC for today. In a previous life, I used an LSI-11 as recently as the nineties that was part of an X-ray diffraction machine. But as you said, not as a microcontroller.
Alcohol kills. The sun kills. You cant buy anything without a prop 65 warning. Tripping on stairs kills. Medications have risky side effects. Bacon and sausage and sugar and fat and cholesterol kill.

At some point, if we want to stop all needless deaths, instead of "toxic individuality" we won't have any individuality at all, because pretty much any decision at all will be limited to the collective's approved single option.

Edit: i am not trying to dismiss the dangers inherent in cars. I am, however, saying that I absolutely hate the term "toxic X" because it fundamentally trivializes the other side of the argument.
If there’s an unserved market need: you want it, society and the global economy needs it; then go compete in the market, create your own competitive alternative. No one is preventing you from doing that. The market will dictate how right you are.
Ask HN: What are your predictions for 2022?
you know, it’s wild that we have phones that track us, for “safety” reasons but, that information is not shared to cars like tesla’s in order to help prevent accidents. i am not pro tracking but it’s already happening, it’s just not benefitting us, anyways probably not the best solution but i could see wearables sending packets to cars to help the car be more aware of a person. because obviously some drivers don’t pay attention enough, when i was 5 years old my dad was disabled from a car wreck from someone who was drunk and not paying attention. needless to say, it messed up my childhood and i am still trying to recover from it
Sounds like the city needs to put in a traffic light. Contact your local representative and ask what can be done.
The users are all handled through a common set of code, I don't see why its remarkable that it takes 50 engineers to keep things going. Customer support, I can see that eating manpower, but not keeping the code running on a few racks of servers.
That sounds about right, even slim

I've honestly never understood how faang companies can have such incredible numbers of devs when the products basically move at a snails pace for years now
This is just incredible:

> The show's cast included Academy Award winner Rita Moreno, Bill Cosby and a then unknown Morgan Freeman. Guest stars included Mel Brooks, Zero Mostel, Gene Wilder and Joan Rivers. The teen pop band Short Circus (get it?) included future star Irene Cara. The comedy writers were among the best in the business, and later went on to work on hit TV shows including MASH and Everybody Loves Raymond.
It's a time-value-of-money problem. Over the long run, solar saves money. The payback period of our panels was about 9 years, but our utility raised their rates, so I think it's more like 7 now. Problem is, most people don't have 7 years worth of utility bills available to spend now, and if they did, they'd rather spend it on other things.
The transcript page which is just text also requires it
I was looking at the front page of an Edmonton newspaper from the 1940s that my father had kept as a souvenir and right on the front page on the bottom was a tally of traffic deaths!

That the newspaper would be tracking this fact so prominently suggests that at the time it was news that a car crashed and injured/killed someone.

From this newspaper it seems to me that at some point we were concerned the casualties coming from automobile use. At some point I guess the news became dull to it, stopped reporting, and thus people in general stopped caring. Unsure when that happened and why.

Gurman at Bloomberg - his article mailed the M1 Pro/Max (in March!), and this is what it says about the next stage:

"Codenamed Jade 2C-Die and Jade 4C-Die, a redesigned Mac Pro is planned to come in 20 or 40 computing core variations, made up of 16 high-performance or 32 high-performance cores and four or eight high-efficiency cores. The chips would also include either 64 core or 128 core options for graphics."

Sure, keep in mind that most competing laptops max at 70GB/sec (the never to exceed number), and most desktops are slower than that with 2 channels of DDR4-3200 to 4200 (41-67GB/sec).

So while it's "only" 240, that's an excellent number. Keep in mind that you generally never see 100% of theoretical bandwidth.
You’re conflating two types of freedoms. In almost all of the US you basically have to own a car, but once you own a car you can go anywhere super easily whenever you want — half a mile, 100 miles, 2pm, 3am — all the same. And you can carry a small apartment’s worth of stuff with you which makes groceries, home improvement, sports/leisure, parties a non-issue.
They do take accidents into account, which is why it's important to report even fender-benders so they can be counted.

But until someone dies it's likely to only be changed when they're otherwise redoing the road.

I don't think you can make that determination unless you know why the sender chose to use Bitcoin.

They're not censoring people, they're moderating based on predefined rules. Without moderation, the "town square" would be overrun with people with proverbial megaphones and an agenda, drowning out literally everyone else with something to say or share.
Yes, if it was derived from the proceeds of crime or tax evasion then it is in fact a better medium than ACH.
they're largely resolved--my air no longer panics and I cannot recall when it last did, though it did panic frequently the first several point-releases;

my web development is largely unaffected since around the 2nd quarter of 2021 and actively developed software either has a release for apple silicon and when that's not the case it mostly works with occasional crashes (eg inkscape); obviously this will depend on what applications you use however homebrew, node modules, deno, rust, etc all are working well in various long-lists of items that are less relevant beyond my generalization here; I intend to use applications running in windows and qemu but haven't taken time yet

They key part here that is not easy to set up in an experiment is "massive object in superposition". Superposition is generally something that we observe in mass-less objects (bosons) like photons on a macroscopic level. The spin state of an electron or any other massive objects (fermions) isn't going to effect it's mass distribution observably on a macroscopic level as far as I understand it...these things usually collapse upon interaction with other particles.

The curious thing in my opinion is how this will effect quantum computing. If gravity causes decoherence, then it is likely difficult to maintain coherence in large qubit devices that aren't in microgravity.
Too flattering? Not if your skin isn't "caucasian".

There's a misunderstanding here that's rooted in how we view "accidents". I think Sidney Dekker explains this well, so paraphrasing from the preface of his Field Guide to Understanding Human Error:

> So you are faced with a human error problem. What do you do?

* You can see human error as the cause of a mishap. In this case, "human error" is the end of your investigation and understanding.

* You can see human error as the symptom of deeper troubles. You will look into how human error is systematically connected to people's tools, tasks, and environment.

You're working under the former, the "old view" of human error. This article, and most of people working in safety nowadays, try to work in the latter, "new view" by understanding the entire systems that lead to human error.
It's already about 150 feet from a traffic light. I'm not sure they need another.
It would be interesting if Apple bring back this laptop with their M1 chips. I guess an Ipad Pro sort of fills this role hardware wise.
What version of displayport is needed to support that? I thought that 2560x1440 was the highest resolution you could run over displayport with 120hz or 144hz

> Power Behaviour: No Real TDP, but Wide Range

Actually, TDP stands for "Thermal Design Power" and is not a range. It means "I, the designer, designed it so that this is maximum amount of waste heat as it can safely produce continuously in normal use". It is mainly limited by its physical package and maximum temperature at which the internal components can run.

That you can't observe that max power is due to the fact that those various applications stress the CPU in various ways, not always being able to exercise all internal structures to their maximum potential, at the same time.

> One should probably assume a 90% efficiency figure in the AC-to-DC conversion chain from 230V wall to 28V USB-C MagSafe to whatever the internal PMIC usage voltage of the device is.

(This was regarding idle power usage)

Highly unlikely. I design AC switching power supplies from first principles (and stacks of books). Efficiencies above 90% are normal for newer designs but the PSUs are designed to achieve these efficiencies above significant percentage of their design power. High efficiency at design power is important because it limits worst case waste heat which in turn makes it possible to create smaller PSU. But as PSU is a lot of tradeoffs, one of the tradeoffs that is taken is lesser efficiency at lower power where it doesn't matter as much.

Typically, the lower load on the PSU as portion of design power the lower the efficiency. If the PSU is designed for 140 watt 90% efficiency, I would expect that at 7 watt it is actually much less efficient probably somewhere between 70 and 80 percent.
This report deserves widespread attention.

You're more likely to die by falling. And a good bit more likely to die by suicide. I don't know anybody in my family or circle of acquaintances who have died from any of the above, however.
Yep I think the writer intended it as a joke, or at least a comment on how bad the butterfly keys were. The butterfly keyboards didn’t do much except help make a laptops a bit thinner. That had the effect of reduced key travel (often seen as a negative) and massive reliability problems (universally bad).
Irreversibly sounds awful lol. However, that aside, how many people do you know with this particular problem? Have you ever run into an issue transferring $1,000,000,000? Has anyone you know ever run into that issue?
Well... Sudan's treatment (at least under Bashir) of non-muslim tribes in the south was pretty close to genocide, too. Some of those are still in Sudan rather than South Sudan.

There is strictly no such thing as intrinsic value. There is only supply and demand. We've talked about this before, but I guess there's no convincing you.
I'd recommend then read musl though and not that atrocity that is glibc

Apple still won't take some accessibility issues seriously, which is unfortunate given they are a leader in this space. They don't test their devices on people with binocular vision dysfunction, although I've asked them to.

There is a whole community of people on LEDStrain.org who suffer from severe eyestrain, vertigo, headaches and migraines to the point where these devices are unusable for a minority of people.

One possible cause is temporal dithering which can be seen as the dancing pixels on a slow e-ink display: https://youtu.be/0y-I3hqQgCQ. Windows also uses this technique, but Apple's causes more strain for some reason.

It would be great if apple could look into this.

Some of us are desperate and will gladly pay for help. I am at risk of losing my IT job cause of these companies. I have a binocular vision dysfunction but treatment is not working well.

Any ideas from the community as the technical root cause?

Edit: not sure why I am being downvoted. Please have some empathy!
And to put an even finer point on it, it isn’t just control authority but keeping the damn thing even stable. The only reason those things stay aloft is the controller senses minute changes to the orientation (called attitude) of the craft and adjusts the motor speeds in tiny amounts to fight those changes. Without that quick feedback loop the craft would flop all around and crash.

It’s one of the reasons you don’t see gas powered quads. Gas engines just cannot react fast enough and precise enough to correct subtle changes in attitude.
There is a significant population of folks who are car-hostile here on HN. Most will tell you that they aren't actually anti-car and they don't hate them - just everything about them.
> Candidates that cheat are often coming for the contracting roles. That's likely because full-time employees get a background check and that deters candidates from cheating, but contractors usually don't go through same rigrous checking.

I must work with a great contracting agency, then -- their vetting process is more rigorous than what almost every direct hire process I experienced entailed.
3x2K (2560x1440) and 1x1080p. I have my 3 2K monitors in a "tie-fighter" formation which really just means 1 2K in landscape and the other 2 2Ks are portrait mode on either side of the middle 2K. Then I have my 1080p monitor just on top of my middle 2K. The 1080 is really just used for my Home Assistant (home automation software) dashboard and occasionally reference material (Adobe XD/Figma-type stuff).

I spit my 2 portrait monitors into 3rds and have hotkeys to resize windows to snap them to one of the 3 "positions" (also hot keys to expand them to 2/3rd for things like my code editor).

This setup works really for me personally and at some point I'll update to 4K+ but I just couldn't afford it when I first set this all up.

My normal usage is (`+` separates 3rds, `/` represents 1 of these apps in in this "slot"):

Left 2K: Discord + DataGrip/Android Studio/Drafts + Slack

Middle 2K: Chrome w/ dev tools right-docked

Right 2K: iMessage/Spotify + IDEA (2/3rds)

Top 1080p: Home Assistant/Adobe XD/Figma

Here is a (rough) ascii art of my setup:

I'm not sure what the ratio is. What I do know is that there is a concept that, to me used to be a well known concept, that web developer's are encouraged to follow called "graceful degradation". I wish more people would pay it some attention.

Whether it's due to capabilities of a browser or extra security measures a user would like to practice graceful degradation allows content to be shared with more people than not.

There is, in fact, a good reason for a donor to use Bitcoin over ACH. If the donor obtained his Bitcoin through shady means, or does not want to pay taxes on it, spending the Bitcoin directly can allow the donor to avoid disclosing his identity. Converting to dollars and using an ACH transfer requires associating the money with his real name and identity.
I think this might be once of the most concise explanations of web3 I've come across. Thanks for sharing!
Have... you? Rwanda btw has a GDP per capita of $797. One bitcoin transaction costs 0.6% of GDP per capita at today's low rates. And that's just the direct fee. Once you take into account the indirect fee it's about 33% of GDP per capita.

You can set up a Pi-Hole (DNS sinkhole) and Pi-VPN (Wireguard installer and CLI-frontend for small deployments) very quickly. And you can do it on any debian VM or computer, not just Pi.

Once you have the base OS ready to go, it will take you less than 30 minutes if you know how to muck with your DHCP/firewall settings in your router.

https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole/#one-step-automated-insta...

Install Pi-Hole, then edit your DHCP server to hand out the Pi-Hole as the DNS server.

https://pivpn.io/

After installing Pi-hole, install this. Choose Wireguard, not OpenVPN. port-forward the Wireguard UDP port to your VPN server. use the "pivpn" command to create client configs and the "qr" subcommand to scan the config into your phone.

Most crypto chains suck for small-to-medium payments. The fees on some layer 2 solutions for Ethereum look promisingly low (between $0.06 and $0.30 depending on the specific L2), but these are just starting to get adopted and integrated into existing tools. Hopefully the tangle of ponzis will eventually emit a usable payment solution.
