There is a valley of nuance between Cubby, Inc. v. CompuServe Inc. [1] and Stratton Oakmont, Inc. v. Prodigy Services Co. [2]. All of this nuance was being worked out in the courts via common law principles before Congress short-circuited the process with CDA 230, which turned out to be one of the things that helped facilitate the rise of the Big Tech oligopoly that Congress now decries.

Problem with Solar Energy Panels Across Africa
Look at how the person is holding the hammer makes me suspect they've never used one before, or at least never been shown how to use one properly.
I’m not sure what reasons there would be for quadcopters not scaling up well. Bigger rotors should be more efficient like with any other aircraft. Perhaps there are scaling issues with quickly changing the speed of larger rotors to maintain flight control? That could be resolved by using variable-pitch rotors, although at that point you’ve lost the key advantage of multirotors (which is their mechanical simplicity) and you’re probably better off with just one even bigger rotor with cyclic pitch control (i.e. a helicopter).
FWIW, the code is open-source and the legal org behind it has clauses disallowing it from becoming for-profit.

yes, kudos to them for bringing it to market ($90k seems almost reasonable for this sort of contraption), but it's a much less ambitious vehicle. the aircar was supposed to cruise at 300 mph with an 800 mi range. this thing maxes out at 63 mph and has twenty minutes of flight time, so only about a 20 mile range. even if I were somehow allowed to do it, the jetson would barely make it from my house to my office.

Which thing? Not the two things he was impeached for. Possibly closer to the circulated idea about impeaching due to having better foreign interests, but I don’t believe any formal impeachment attempt was made on those grounds. All talk.

My hot take: Probably because every politician likely does it. They wouldn’t want to set any ball rolling that could hurt them in the future.
> the article makes it clear that theft was a key reason these CVSs closed in SF.

The article does not make this clear, it cites some Yelp reviews, but doesn’t mention that it was part of a nationwide plan to close 46 underperforming stores nationwide. CVS also does not cite shoplifting in the article, and the article also mentions that there was a CVS not too far from the one that closed.

If you Google, you can absolutely find shoplifting stories about NYC. I’ve seen anti-theft measures in drugstores of several major cities, even before 2019. I guess it’s worth asking why the SF ones get a huge amount of press and not the NYC ones. Maybe it’s politics.

> The evidence is all there. Denial of what's going on in SF is bizarre

I’m not denying the videos or the closing of the Walgreens stores, but I’m a bit skeptical about the narrative being built around these points. Here is a counter viewpoint with some evidence:

I certainly wouldn't have a problem with anyone bringing mass attention to these terrible companies, but I'd also argue that it makes Facebook and Amazon (and their executives) no less complicit in their own problematic behavior. They can all be held accountable.
Yep. Same thing with 1800xx911xx (and so on). I made that mistake as a kid with my parents' old unactivated phone. That's when I learned any mobile phone can call emergency services.

From what I gather, this is considered an ultralight class airplane. These do not require license or certification, at least in the US.
Mass use of flying cars is fundamentally infeasible on any realistic timescale for a huge list of reasons beyond energy inefficiency. Accidents are catastrophic. The noise would be insane. Minor body damage that wouldn't matter for a car could cause the whole thing to crash. You'd need a complex traffic control system that would never be allowed to miss a beat without risk a Kessler syndrome like event.

And in your water example, building a bridge would be drastically better for a high traffic use case.

In cases where you can't justify infrastructure build out, it will still be more efficient to use all terrain ground vehicles.

And no, hovering in the air and fighting gravity ever moment of active travel will never be anywhere close to the efficiency of a rolling vehicle.
> Will you not entertain the possibility that a form of travel using geodesic distance may be more efficient?

I completely agree. But for mass market personal aerial vehicles, regulation would eventually force vehicles to fly close to ground (for safety of self and others, better fall 30 feet than 300 feet)

In this scenario, geodesic distance hardly makes any difference.

Personal aerial vehicles are never going to be safe. Not for the lack of innovation or technology, but for human nature. Ever see how many people drive their cars with the "check engine" lights on? Or how many fail to get theirs serviced in time, or change the oil in time? The mass market is not fit to drive their own personal aerial vehicles.

There are niche uses, such as medical emergencies, policing, etc. Putting these into the hands of everyone is a disaster waiting to happen.
The article mentions it in the section "How It Works: UI"
In the US, you can fly most places and land most places (with permission of the owner) with helicopters, with only general (e.g., must pose no hazard to people and property) rules instead of specific restrictions (outside of controls to keep them out of, e.g., airplane traffic patterns around airports.)

But I can see something like this being available in numbers being the catalyst for that changing fast...

If that was a useful argument for the future we'd all still be using Perl.

> I don't think you usually want "integers" for most computer work and are better off thinking in terms of finite fields instead of numbers whenever possible

I think it is the other way around, and that's why high level languages (under some definition of HLL) tend to have arbitrary precision integers. Python, Ruby, Lisp, and now Javascript (bigint) all have them. Finite fields are almost never used except in some special applications like cryptography or error correcting codes. Multiplication in the field with 2**32 elements doesn't look anything like integer multiplication. Normal computer arithmetic is not finite field arithmetic.

We really should be using trap-on-overflow in C most of the time. Making that difficult on RISC-V seems to me like a poor design decision.
72-column lines are important because the IBM 709 vacuum tube computer(1958) could only read 72 columns from an 80-column punch card. (Due to its 36-bit word size.) Thus, FORTRAN only used 72 columns and this became a standard. 60 years later, this limitation is still affecting people.

helicopters also have one major advantage for manned applications: autorotation. there's at least a chance to survive loss of power in a helicopter. a quad with no power just falls.

Those are the medians. SF would be substantially higher. Much of the US would be pretty close. I think Levels has a bit of tech, and maybe high earning, bias. Places like Glassdoor and Indeed are showing similar results to the BLS medians.

Breakfast

It's not a cleverly named app. I'm talking about literal breakfast. Just having a slow breakfast on the balcony gives me a bit of idle time to think about the day ahead, and it helps a lot.

I used to have a notebook. One page per day, one task per line. In the morning, I'd transfer the unfinished tasks to the next page. It would give me quick feedback on tasks that don't progress, and prevent me from overcommitting. It worked surprisingly well.
What is useful / useless can be subjective, but remember big companies are trying to manipulate to get people addicted to their stuff be it sugary foods, internet gambling (inc. crypto), tech gadgets, alcohol or whatever.

If no one bought useless shit (again what is that?) and just got say long lasting furniture, decent food, shelter etc, you’d have a situation where everyone could live based on fewer hours of work most likely. What to do with the time? If bored then volunteer? Talk to your family and friends? Hobbies?

There is plenty of economy outside of useless shit. I don’t see how we can get around needing police/fire/hospitals/defence/research/science etc.

Fork Freshness is poking at an important problem. If the author of an open source project stops responding, then there is usually no obvious way for the project's community to reorganize or recognize a new leader or a replacement for the project.

They really can't. Civil liberties and privacy were popular after the Patriot Act, and then they weren't.

Occupy Wallstreet and the 2008 bailout led to widespread dissatisfaction with the finance industry, and then it didn't anymore.

Derek Chauvin led to huge attention for Black Lives Matter and anti-racism, but if history tells us what to expect, it's that in 5-10 years some new activist / popular criticism will gain traction and people will sort of just stop caring. Those who were already fighting racism, trying to abolish or reform the police, or reform the criminal justice system will still be there, but frontpage headlines won't, mass protests won't, the zeitgeist will move on.

How can we honestly say that they can all be held accountable when we're unable to hold anyone accountable or make meaningful change on a single issue, let alone the dozens or hundreds that need immediate attention?

I utterly agree that all of these issues do _need_ to be given attention, and deserve to all be held closely to our hearts, but it just seems that the last 50-100 years of western democracy proves that that doesn't really work with the current playbook.
I'm not buying FSD. The non-FSD features in the car are way too unpolished. If Tesla can't get the easy stuff right, there is no hope for the more complex. Some issues I've noted:

1. Voice recognition fails to match the stated operation described in the manuals since 2019;

2. Cameras are unable to reliably distinguish traffic signals, namely red; yellow; and green, using 2018 camera hardware; and

3. It makes absolutely no sense for the battery to 'brick' or declare 'out-of-range' while regeneration is adding charge back to the battery -- which is how the Model S behaved in 2020. In other words, as the car nears '0 range' or low/no charge, it absolutely should not shut down while kinetic energy is being converted to charge as the car slows down.

Based on may 5 years of experience driving two Teslas, I can't imagine this 'FSD problem' being solved prior to 2026.
Disaster recovery plans are very common. Their plan for this disaster was to pay the ransom, thus perpetuating the cycle.

If you're going to be pedantic, please put in more effort in identifying the correct unit of measurement, whether it's feet, meters, leagues, or terameters.

A terameter is a unit of length equal to 1 trillion meters.

A cubic terameter is 1x10^36 cubic meters.

2 million cubic meters would be something like:
.000000000000000000000000000002 cubic terameters

Or:
2e-30 terameter³

If you're wanting minimalconversion, the amount comes to 2 cubic hectometers.

There’s a subtext to this article, that cars are getting better at diagnosing themselves and the troubleshooting typical for older and ICE cars is required less and less. It’s not fair to say that an average mechanic wouldn’t be able to service new cars, but rather that new mechanics will be unable to repair anything but new cars who have their problems diagnosed with a computer.

> There is no job on Earth that you could fill, from teacher to plumber to police officer, that literally anyone would do if they were held personally responsible for doing their job wrong on the job.

Most private jobs have no immunity from liability for workers for torts done on the job; in most the employer is also liable and often a more attractive litigation target—more money, more motivation to settle, more likely to pay a judgement it settlement. But the worker isn't immune, and it's regularly sued when the employer is.

And yet, people work all kinds of jobs with neither absolute nor qualified immunity.

Uhm, there is no way that a mechanic should ever try and rebuild a battery. Never.

There are multiple thousands of wires inside, and multiple hundreds of tap fuses. Every single bolt and joint is critical and needs just the correct amount of cleanliness and jointing compound applied.

The safety systems only work as well as the battery can isolate the problem (usually isolating the battery from the vehicle). Random workshops working on electric cars will just lead to internal battery problems that are uninterruptible by the control systems (ie a loose bolt or a washer floating in the casing), and this will lead to fires.

And after you’ve pulled it apart, what about the quality control on all the casing water seals? Especially the single application seals (gaskets don’t work well in practice)?

Battery aside, if you unbolt a motor resolver or move anything important then you need to do a resolver or phase calibration, which you can’t do without OE special equipment. Again, this could cause serious issues like hardware overcurrent and sudden cut outs, loss of power steering etc at high speed.

The days of mechanic shops servicing these vehicles is going to have to be over… there is no way it will ever be safe for someone to touch the power train without all the right OE specific equipment, the right checklists and several weeks of training for each vehicle.
