“The strongest months are always during tax refund season, so late fall usually represents the lull in the market…”

I’m sure this isn’t the full explanation, but the IRS is so messed up this year that this is tax refund season. I didn’t get my refund until a month ago, and my accountant says many others have waited this long.

My 2013 E350 MB monitors driver alertness through steering, brake and throttle input alone. And it's surprisingly good, facial recognition is not required. The only time it gets triggered is when I'm doing late night or very early morning driving, when you'd expect deteriorated attention - I don't feel drowsy so it's beeping is quite annoying but that's the whole point...

This is a terrible idea. There's a reason existing interlock systems don't shut off your car. We have a silicon shortage that is affecting availability of cars and congress wants to require more silicon in cars?

It's stuff like this that's been happening with cars over the years that makes me deliberately continue to drive older cars exclusively. I wouldn't buy a brand new car if I were a billionaire.
Well, in USA, for foreign students there's the OPT and CPT programs that allows them to get jobs and internships in the area of their study, and even work in the US for a limited number of years (2 or 3 depending on what they studied) after their graduation.

Also, they have very precise definitions of what work is considered to be in a given field of study. So for instance, a foreign student can't be a CS major and then go work as a chef in a restaurant. However, they can work at tech companies as a software engineer.

"Guides" aren't even the worst of it. The Microsoft Store has some apps which are outright squatting on the names and logos of real applications, like "Reader for Reading Kindle Ebooks" [1] or "Meeting using Google Meet" [2]. While I haven't investigated, I'm pretty sure they're literally just frames for web apps.

I have some code where I use multierrors and collect everything into one big error (I highly recommend this for "validation"-type code, you should generally return all errors not merely the first), but what code are you writing where you're running 5 statements unconditionally but need to handle nearly-arbitrary combinations of them failing, and multierrors aren't what you need?
Terrific. More stuff that breaks.
The typical advice is to buy COBRA regardless. They don’t require the money up front, and if you get covered in the interim you can cancel COBRA. Worst case they’ll send you a bill you don’t pay and it’s a small hit to your credit for a while.

The last time I had to do this I managed to convince the COBRA administrator to backdate my cancellation because the bills got lost in the mail and I didn’t have any credit hit.

Mandating something like an interlock would work. But false positives would be absolutely infuriating and possibly life threatening. Imagine having to call the police or similar to breathalyze or do a blood draw to then unlock your car. Just ask people trying to get out from under DUI convictions how unreliable those devices are.
That crowd is not new. There are numerous other desktops and they've been around for quite some time. In my view, none of them have ever come close to GNOME or KDE in terms of velocity. Also, it seems that few of them are even trying to provide a comprehensive app platform, or if they are, it consists mostly of repackaged things from GNOME or KDE.

I've heard you need to show availability of funds to pay for the whole period of school when you apply for the visa[1]? Anyway, you need to pay for the school at some point and some schools charge international students extra, or anyway full rate. So, if the problem was not enough money to go to school at home, coming to the US for school doesn't seem to help?

There are somewhat more involved formal treatments like Welterweight Java [1], which adds some more features, but of course, nowhere near the full set of Java features.

Some of the citations in that paper are also interesting.

I don't think there is a core calculus that specifically incorporates generics as in Java, but I could be wrong. In any case, much of Java's generics flow from theories of parametric polymorphism [2], specifically I believe bounded parametric polymorphism [3].

For many startups, there's an early round that's friends, families, and angel investors. It tends to be a small enough round that VCs (aka "institutional investors") can't or won't participate. Individuals can write smaller check sizes, and can invest with less friction especially if they know the founders well and/or are really passionate about the space the startup is in and the problem it's solving.

That said, yes, angels will invest along side VCs in seed rounds and even further along. But when someone says "angel round" they're usually talking about a very early, small round composed mostly or entirely of individuals.

It's kinda good too. It makes the store unviable and thus makes local installations still a very legit requirement. Which leads to less Microsoft control over what you do with your PC, and more user freedom. It also means using your computer without a Microsoft account is still a thing.

If it had really taken off they could be free to block installers like iOS does. Or at least make it difficult to do so like macOS.
I've done the same thing for decades with the -v -R options to GNU tar, which cause it to print the block number of each file to stderr while creating the archive. With knowledge of the block number, you can then pipe dd to tar to extract a single file without a linear search. Or, in the case of tapes, you can use mt to seek to the block before you run tar. Of course, something like tarindexer is more convenient!
I almost never use that in my code, I almost always use

res, err := ...

As someone who excelled early in school and damn near never graduated, the age grouping doesn’t line up for me. I should probably have never graduated high school because my scores were so low from homework not completed. Turns out I had undiagnosed ADHD and Autism, and makework was valuable for me early but useless for me as I grew into myself.

Otherwise this resonates with me so much. Your kids are so lucky to have you.

20B is slightly bigger than the Apple M! (10nm) and slightly smaller than the 32 core Epyc (14nm), which you should consider are both very substantial projects from a headcount, simulation, tools, licensing, etc.

To put it in perspective, a company a friend founded that is doing a very large but very regular ASIC for TSMC 10nm raised twice what you're ballparking and will end up doing another raise before tapeout. Chips nowadays are _expensive_ if you're anywhere near state of the art. The people who do very high performance chips are also very expensive.

But I'm also guessing that unless you're doing a bitcoin hashing chip, AI chip, or GPU, all of which is regular, your scale estimate is probably very off. If you're doing any of those, just don't.

That said, there are SOC vendors who do core plus, so it's possible that if this is just an accelerator, no matter how wide, you might be able to outsource the whole thing.
>True but how often is the battery the issue in an enterprise environment?

Biggest issue by far. We have a fleet of 100+ MacBooks in my office and expanded batteries are probably the only thing we have that goes wrong with them. They're rock solid otherwise. The new replaceable batteries is a huge deal.
What's stupid, is (as long as comments are enabled) all someone needs to say is "I dislike/hate/loathe this video" and everyone who would have previously disliked the video, upvotes that comment (perhaps as well as...).

Although I guess it all counts as engagement, so win-win as far as YT are concerned.
Often time when I look up a pronunciation video, it's for a language I'm learning and I have a vague idea of how the word is supposed to sound, but not sure on things like tonality and stress.

So, if I were to look up how to say "ramen", I might not know if it's supposed to be ra-MEN or RA-men, but I'd know it's wrong if they say it like "r-amen".
In contrast, its important to note that intoxication is an objective measure. You can measure someones blood alcohol and know they were intoxicated.

Isn't the bar higher for NBC, ABC, CNN, FOX, etc?

I.e. If they say something false on purpose, they're likely to get sued out of existence. Whereas, some random guy can just say "oh, I was only joking, or this is just entertainment, or it's just freedom of speech man... YOU are responsible for checking my dis-info" after spreading lies on purpose.

Personally, for these reasons, I trust the mainstream news sources MUCH more than the random person on the internet that may or may not be trying to sell me some snakeoil on the side (e.g. Alex Jones).

That isn't really true IMO. I don't think anything they are trying to do would be impossible with GNOME or KDE. But I get it, people need to put in the time to work with upstream, and for some who just want to ship products, that's not convenient.
> They look for signals before hard metrics.

Honestly, a lot of times a VC will turn you down and cite metrics, but in reality it's not the reason they're not investing. It's just a much easier and less offensive thing to use as a reason for passing (definitely easier than something like "we don't think you're impressive enough to pull this off" or "your product is crappy").

So they'll say "oh your unit economics aren't attractive" to you... But other companies have raised tons of money and maybe even made it all the way to IPO without attractive unit economics.

We will need to intensify the mass-surveillance. For our health and safety. Obviously.
Fair points. I have no idea what percentage of people driving are drunk.

Anecdotally, I do know what percentage of people who nearly hit me head on each day are looking down into their lap(if not holding the phone in front of their eyes), and it's nearly 100.

"Second, as a society we should be minimizing preventable deaths where reasonably feasible."

You can prevent deaths reasonably feasible by government sponsored surveillance. I'm not sure that's the world I want to live in, however.

> your interest should be limited to what they can do, which the interface tells you already

That's a very idealistic perspective, and my sincere congratulations that every codebase you've worked with so far has been so great as to completely and unambiguously document every edge case and pre/post condition.

If we stick just to the cited example:

Features() string // Features are a comma separated string of node metadata that could match pricing

great ... so I'm guessing if there are no such features it returns "" then, but otherwise it ... just contains the metadata keys? key=value as CSV? It escapes any "," found in the values with \\, does it? What's an example? Well, normally I'd go look at the implementations but in this awesome world of fully specified godoc I guess I shouldn't worry myself with such details

I'm almost sorry I replied to this, because we are clearly living in such different universes, but I am actually genuinely interested in reading the URL of the godoc you've experienced that is so perfect that one need not ever bother with how many disparate implementations there are
I agree that none of the biggest tech companies are in danger of tapping out anytime soon. But in terms of narrative, Microsoft was the PC company and Apple is the iPhone company (it took years for them to shake off the funk of being the iPod company in the face of saturating that market) and so forth.

Narrative-wise the comparison looks like this: Apple gets >50% of its direct sales from the iPhone, and likely a meaningful percentage of its wearables and services revenue is levered to iPhone sales (AirPods and Fitness+ being examples). Probably 60%+ of Apple sales is tied to iPhone at this point. The mobile market is essentially saturated, so growth will taper there going forward. All the other products are nice, but they are a minority of revenue. To sustainably grow at 20%, Apple has to find a brand new category that is worth $40B, and they have to do that every year. (By way of comparison, that's about as big as Tesla. Apple needs to find a new Tesla worth of revenue every year.) So that's the narrative on Apple.

By comparison, the shift to EVs is at the very beginning of its ramp, with ~7% of global sales being EVs. So Tesla has many years to grow at very large rates (40%, 50%, etc.) before it arrives at saturation. They don't have to find any new categories (adding a truck doesn't count as a new category for narrative purposes), they can basically keep doing what they are doing and add SKUs in their existing line of business and grow along with the market, which is growing really fast. They don't have to find giant new categories every year, so in some ways the business problem in front of them is more straightforward. That's the Tesla narrative.

Tesla has a great narrative for the future, and that helps drive the stock price.

This seems one sided. Why not hide the “like” count too and make both like and dislike counts visible only to the creators while using the individual action of each viewer for recommendations?

I don’t understand why a dislike brigade could be harmful but a like brigade couldn’t be (like propaganda and/or misinformation). They seem to have considered only the impact on creators, who are a small percentage of the population, and not the impact on susceptible viewers, who are much larger in number.

I agree for repeat offenders. Drunk driving, though, is a particularly tough thing to stop. It's not typically sober "joe" that decides to drive. The decision is usually made by someone not in a great state to make it.

Come on now. Don't bodyshame people are lean or fit.
Go after municipalities. Big cities don't have half the drunk driving problems you get in suburbia or even worse rural settings, because they have transit and walkability.

The root problem of drunk driving is that driving is the only option for many people and that's a city planning problem.

More density, more walkability, more transit, less drunk driving. Also greener, healthier living.
That is hard to imagine. We have to believe that the CCP wouldn't crack down on separatists, and they wouldn't elect a new leader.

China may have eliminated the term limit (of 2x5 years), but Xi has only been president for 8 years. They still have a fresh memory of transferring power. Certainly the longer he's president, the scenario you outline becomes more likely... but not in 8 years.
The value of homework has little to do with learning. Yes, students can learn from it. On the other hand, it is mostly intended to promote a certain type of work ethic where those who devote additional time and effort have more opportunities for success. Whether this is desirable is a different question. For those in a more supportive environment, it can lead to a narrowness of vision (with respect to both learning and life). There are also issues with respect to equity. While I have seen successful social programs that help less affluent families access better resources, those still depend upon supportive families.

Grades themselves are truly a mixed bag. They typically conflate work submitted with material learnt, communications skills, work ethic and motivation, as well as any other factors that implicitly seep into the approach the teacher employs (e.g. communicating expectations and meaningful feedback). Grades really should be abolished for more descriptive assessments, unfortunately almost everyone from students to families to schools to boards of education to ministries of education wants quantifiable metrics.
> What is HackersNews and tech’s romantic obsession with Tokyo / things Japan?

Maybe it's all the neon, maybe it's the dystopian off-planet like capsule tower, but I wouldn't be the first to say that Japan has that not-to-distant futuristic vibe. When non-Japanese see pictures of Japan (well at least for me and I'd hazard a guess many others here on HN), it's almost like looking at scenes from a scifi, cyberpunk, action thriller.
Obligatory reminder that toy drones have killed a grand total of zero people but come with geo zones mandated by law that they will refuse to fly into.

Hacker News has been like this for a while now, maybe a little less than a year, and it's getting rapidly worse every day. I've found myself spending significantly less time here as a result, hacker news seems like it's not for me anymore.
As a faculty member, the problem here is very similar to people suggesting there be "less regulations" but never really pointing out which ones to get rid of and why.

Most of these positions were created for a reason, and have a purpose. Everyone seems to agree that there are too many Deans and VPs, but no one wants to get of the ones they need.
> If you want to fold the cat, work for 25 years. If you don't want to work for 25 years

You seem to have left out the unrelated to the job part. To keep this civil, I'll just pretend I believe that you forgot and remind you. It's central to this discussion. Without it, your entire first paragraph is a non sequitur.

> I don't think anyone who hasn't spent that time gets to criticize

More gatekeeping. Also, if 25 years is the qualification for having an opinion then it applies to any opinion. Why should your defense of the practice be taken any more seriously than others' criticism?
The numbers just illustrate what I was saying. I've said that the whole time. I don't know why you think this is some kind of gotcha moment.
Tourists are weird by definition because people are interested in seeing the things that are different/unique relative to the context they are from, and those things get way more interesting if the locals find them normal because it highlights the cultural difference.

So I try not to take offense if visitors aren't interested in the same things I am - the real challenge is whether they respect the differences in those things.
>as a society we should be minimizing
preventable deaths where reasonably feasible.

Only up to a point. We don't go round putting people in bubble wrap to keep them safe. We don't expect the government to station a policeman inside every house. But the lack of gun control in the USA is ludicrous as demonstrated by every mass shooting. Back to cars, why not limit every car out there to 40 miles per hour? fatality rates would plummet.

I was thinking about it a bit more. Apparently the fatality rate of car accidents is 0.7%, so comparing that to a covid case rate of 0.06%, it seems like it's still an order of magnitude less fatal for a teenager to get into a car accident than to catch covid. It's been an interesting discussion, and I've enjoyed diving into the numbers more. Thanks!
How on earth do we de-escalate from here? I feel that in the US it is impossible to summon the political willpower to make it HARDER to graduate HS or go to college, even if these things would make society better off.

My personal opinion is that the government should get out of education, just lower our taxes and let the free market handle the rest. Never gonna happen, however.
