I actually went to school (which included economics in its curriculum).

I have also worked for many financial institutions over past 20 years including banks, brokerage houses and insurance companies. Currently for Citi Group as a tech lead for one of its risk systems. My work requires me to understand what inflation is because it has very deep impact on everything we do.

Here you have other reputable source: https://www.investopedia.com/terms/i/inflation.asp

"Inflation is the decline of purchasing power of a given currency over time."
Or if SpaceX says "y'all keep waiting for SLS and Orion, we're going to the moon on our own at no cost to you".
The problem is that society has lost all ability to have rational cost benefit discussion when lives or bodily harm are involved.

Imagine the classic "do we build an expensive overpass with a big span or a cheap one with a central support someone may crash into" problem that is often found in engineering ethics classes. We can't have that discussion here. It will be derailed with all sorts of BS.

>but is it really such a nightmare that requires integrating breathalyzers in every new car?

If the cost were zero, sure. But it's not zero. It'll cost tons of money and even more hours of needless frustration.
I somehow don't think that Palm devices ever had mobile payment support.
I built one enrich myself and to make my life easier, but I have little doubt my employer has benefited from it. I don't mind that form of "trickle up" economics.
I've always wanted a program or set of tools that I can use to generate my own dictionaries - not just a glossary, but real dictionaries with multiple definitions for words, derivations, example sentences, and so on.

And, one other very important feature I'd need, would be to be able to run the dictionary on itself, to find words that are used in the descriptions for which there isn't yet a definition.

This would be amazing, for example, to run on a large corpus, generate the dictionary, and then run it again to find words that are used but not defined - not just in the original corpus but in the definitions too.

I've yet to find anything like this and have managed, over the years, to do this with some cobbled-together sed and awk hacks .. but I still think this is something that would be quite a viable commercial product - especially useful for international translations and creating properly-defined glossaries for documentation, etc.

Anyone know of such tools? I'd love to have my own Dictionary builder, proper, and stop fantasizing about turning sed and awk scripts into a proper app ..
I’m saying the government purposely puts no agency into the issue of inequality.

That, rather than allow the story government could, we require people to cater to unelected elders who judge and manage our agency even though none of us signed a contract at birth recognizing our agreement with the arrangement. We’re talked into after the fact; or we can die. It’s legalized shakedowns for lunch money.

You’re getting hung up on technicals. I’m challenging the story that the US is free of oppressive behavior because it’s not government performing the behavior. I don’t have a contract requiring me to believe Zuckerberg is a billionaire, his forces can assign net worth to me though?

Take PGs four quadrants of conformity. Why stop at 4? Did he run out of numbers? There are billions of people on the planet; why not an essay that suggests then a billion quadrants of conformity? The effort means little to PG, just a few different letters. Why does his boundary matter?

If we’re allowed to filter as we choose why not filter you all out?

Is that the political narrative we want to foster on Main Street? 5% of the population hunts; this contemporary logistics system provides for everyone. Following billionaires who filter out those who don’t conform to their preferred of their 4 categories … why not filter out a minority of billionaires through hefty taxation to empower all the Elons we aren’t. Pre-Reagan taxation empowered a lot of these guys families, then they changed the rules.

Change them back.

Dangerous? meh. They were fun as hell. I learned to drive in a 1964 Corvair 2-door convertable. My dad bought it brand new, drove it for a year, then put it in storage where it sat until I turned 15. The stories my dad would tell me about the things they would do tinkering with them were pretty out there. He wound up putting cement bags in the trunk to keep the front end down when he would hit certain speeds. Got pulled over racing a GTO, and winning, but the cop gave no tickets. He was just interested in seeing what was done to the Corvair that it was out running a GTO. Oh the 60s!
Recruitment is a one-time cost per employee (or per candidate, is another way to look at it).

Retention costs include salary and other benefits, which are ongoing, recurring costs and can add up to quite a bit… so I would hardly say they aren't spending on retention.
Yet vaccines and tests were free, there was an outreach to less advantaged communities, money was doled out to people and businesses to keep them afloat and in many places a spirit of shared sacrifice appeared or was confirmed. These and similar actions strike me as progressive actions.
Blind rage against anti-vaxxers causes blindness to real risks.
You'll know they've really reached routine when people's main complaint is about not having enough leg room :^)

Also wondering what the timeline comparison is here too. Wasn't one of the problems with Columbia the advanced age of the shuttle? I'm assuming this isn't comparable to the situation with spacex?
(Author here) I am deeply humbled by your engagement, comments, critiques, and insights. Needless to say, this inspires me to write and share more. Thank you Hacker News. You are truly one of a kind.
I feel that the issue with the dislike button is its ambiguity, similar to star ratings. A Uber driver or Ebay seller with a many of 4-star ratings is clearly fine, but one with a moderate number of 1-star ratings is not, despite having the same average ranking. In the case of Uber/Ebay, the better question is a simple "Would you do business with this individual again?" For YouTube, the public dislike would be better replaced with something like "report content," followed by a choice of "clickbait/inaccurate content/hate speech."
The biggest issue IMO is that the safety standards more or less only seem to account for the driver/passengers. The EU equivalent has a pedestrian safety rating, that would be a good start.
I mean we're heading there with /usr being your /System. Redhat/Pottering are doing heroic work in this space.

/Ephemeral Temp -> /run
/Persistent Temp -> /tmp

The only real holdouts are proc/sys/dev which are the kernel and mnt/media/opt/srv which are really for the user/sysadmin and aren't really used by the OS anymore.

> Tons and tons and tons of mass margin covers a multitude of sins

This is also why building spacecraft is so expensive - they need to be engineered to the absolute minimum mass that does the job and that takes the majority of the time.

Relax that and you cut design time to 10% of it used to be.

> So Tesla has many years to grow at very large rates (40%, 50%, etc.) before it arrives at saturation.

You missed the GP's point - even if they take 100% of the car market, it's not like the car market is growing exponentially. So this car market growth is "already priced in" and it's TAM is the combination of all of their car companies (even assuming they were to get 100% market share which is unrealistic), which Tesla is already valued at higher than all of those companies combined.

The narrative is that Tesla becomes a "battery company" (which is basically just their JV with Panasonic anyway). But they haven't proven anything in that market yet. So the point is this -> Microsoft may not just be a PC computing company anymore (selling Windows OS) but it already has proven cloud revenue for example, so you can speculate that those revenues will grow by X% with its own TAM.
Pretty neat, I came to the same conclusions and working on something similar here: https://getartemis.app
Yup, fuck this mandate 7 ways to Sunday. I'm already apprehensive about buying a new vehicle since they all practically have a nonnegotiable cellular data connection. There's 0 chance this breathalyzer data won't be sent back home as well.
> this then recognizes that the government has a legitimate right to arbitrarily revoke your access to a motor vehicle that you've purchased and owned

They do. That is what losing your license is. They've always had this right. It is a good thing that they do.
But it still breaks in so many situations and becomes a pain in the ass in so many other ones! I HATE people who use spaces in file names. For me it is a sign of a "deeply nontechnical person".
Never heard of this guy or SA until this post but I think it's depressing that we feel guilty celebrating this guy's accomplishments without being like "oh but it has to be mentioned he treated people in his life terribly and might have been an objectively awful person".

Maybe there is a subconscious belief that only "good" people deserve success and praise? I just find this so naive because if you've lived long enough and gotten to know yourself and other people you realize how complicated and flawed each and every one of us are.
Oh, I'm definitely not coming at this from a save-the-earth perspective. Like I said, this is a fun side hobby at best, definitely not some eco-warrior type deal.
I expect asteroid exploration to be heavily restricted, since anyone who can move an asteroid also has more destructive power than a nuclear bomb.
Yea, it's perfectly intellectually consistent to say "I'll do it if you do it too"
SpaceX is on the other end of the scale, they continually change their vehicles to make small improvements all the time. It's highly unlikely the same paralysis could manifest at SpaceX with it's current culture.

More likely is a failure of the other extreme where if changes are normalized and something that seems sufficiently simple actually has an outsized impact on the craft. I think such a thing is still relatively unlikely given how much testing and modelling goes into all their changes but it's much more likely than catastrophic failure occurring due to known design deficiencies that are left because they haven't yet caused failures.
I guess the ones from Khorasan will have to do.

This is what I want from Linux. Sensible & guessable names for newcomers to figure out where to put files and programs.

It's frustrating having to spend time to decide whether I should install a program in /var or /opt or /usr. What do they even mean!

So, I disagree with this convention altogether and use /apps or ~/apps now.

According to Feynman, in the case of the shuttle there was no such calculation, just assertion.
Correctly guessed, mainly CO2 (breathing). I did not know that CO can be relevant in the car. But of course, the more is evalued, the better. In fact, for example, I had similar concerns for CO for the house (free flames).
Majority of comments here are on the headline and clearly did not read the article:

- It doesnt use breathalyzers, it uses safety systems similar as those for cruise control.

- It would be installed at the factory by manufacturers.

- It would be mandated by 2026, no different than how other basic vehicle safety equipment has been mandated for vehicles over time: seatbelts, airbags, reverse cams, third brake light, and so on.
>What do you think about this movement?

The "no-code" desire has been around for decades -- just using different terms. E.g. in 1980s and 1990s, a common phrase for new tools that didn't require programmers was "self-service" ... like Crystal Reports software for "self-service reports without programming".

To put it in perspective, consider that Microsoft Excel is a "no-code" tool. In the old days before desktop computers, if a business person wanted to look at a report of sales amounts grouped a different way, he would ask the COBOL programmers in the IT department for a "change request" and they'd do the following:

- "code" new punch cards for the mainframe: https://www.google.com/search?q=mainframe+punch+cards&source...

- load of magnetic tapes (each held about 40 megabytes) of the sales data: https://www.google.com/search?q=mainframe+9-track+tape&sourc...

- get a new report on greenbar paper: https://www.google.com/search?q=greenbar+paper&source=lnms&t...

Now, any office worker can do the above with a "no-code" tool like MS Excel with pivot tables, filters, etc. Even though Excel eliminates a lot of coding work, the demand for programmers keeps going up. No matter what "no-code" tool is invented, the world keeps inventing new tasks for human programmers to do that today's no-code tool can't do. There's always a delta in capabilities.

> Just letting you know that I have unsubscribed from youtube premium and will actively be looking for youtube alternatives for content consumption (and creation in the future ?). While the dislike button has potential for abuse there is also potential for abuse by having no feedback mechanism. There are tons of DIY/informative videos on youtube where the information is wrong and can hurt viewers, what happens when someone unsuspecting installs a virus on their computer or gets scammed ? What happens when someone buys a product whose quality is extremely poor ? Does youtube take responsibility ? No, because you are a platform and had no role. I don't mind if you want to monitor the dislikes for abuse but this is taking it too far. I also don't mind creators manually switching off the bar for their videos.

At the end of the day you are manufacturing consent for your users as per the demands of your corporation friends and advertisers. You want a happy place where everything is happy and joyful with no abuse and attacking but alas that is not the world in which we live. Have fun and make profits hacking the brains of the viewers you "say" you care about for your advertisers and corporate friends.

Peace out!
> now often deliberately designed and advertised for their ability to cause harm.

Whattttt? Can you provide some examples?
The frame already has a serial number on it and in most places you can file your bike's S/N with the local police department so that if you file a report and they find it they can look it up and reach out to you. This part is already done and works pretty well for recovery (not for reducing theft).

For e-bikes in particular the batteries have a lock, and the motor has DRMed firmware on most big name bikes. It hasn't helped theft, it's just annoying for the user. In general the thief can just grab the entire bike and throw it in a truck, then once they're offsite they have as much time as they want to rewrite the firmware or pick the lock so this doesn't really help.

There's a lot that changes in your body as you age. One that seems to be important for covid is that your immune response gets weaker as time goes on.

Myocarditis is inflammation of the heart and is believed to be caused by the immune system's response to the virus. It maybe that it's less likely to happen in 30+ because their immune response tend be more muted.
> I have to disagree with this as it relies on the assumption that every commit on a branch is logical and descriptive. In my experience a lot of PRs will have small commits that have poor names as they go through a review process.

There's your problem. Code reviews should not allow such commits to pass through.
A guess: The benefits of the vaccine to a 35 year old are substantially larger than to a 25 year old, and Moderna seems to provide better protection to new variants than Pfizer. This may be mostly just because the mRNA dose is larger in Moderna than Pfizer, but with a somewhat worse side-effect profile.

In other words, if you have a medicine with both risks and benefits increasing with dose, the optimal dose will generally be larger for people who stand to benefit more.
Has anyone had luck with framework and openbsd? I'm having network card driver issues OOTB
Well, reading the article states that there's a slim chance of the vaccine causing myocarditis, and a source linked to from wikipedia [0] (don't @ me, I'm no scientist) states that young people are more affected by myocarditis [1]

Boy, they’re going to learn a lot about friction and possibly about the effect of large charges moving in cyclic motion. And I’d hate to be anywhere nearby when it’s being debugged.
> Certainly they can't tell the difference between good and bad employees

I have a much easier time telling the difference between "these are the people with whom I'd form a 3-person startup [vs those that I wouldn't]" than I do telling the difference between "these are the top 50% of my org who are diligently keeping everything running well [vs those who aren't pulling as much weight]".

Which is the category of "good vs bad" that matters for a company's success? I think the latter one would be more impactful if solved.
I understand that the ideal 1-to-1 progress bar is not worth making, if it's even possible, but they should at least be proportional to actual progress. I want a progress bar that goes up if and only if there are responses being received, and processing of those responses completes. Progress bars that continue to fill up even when everything is completely hung make my blood explode.
This sounds a lot promising, why haven't I thought this? Portable builtin monitor arm must be painful HW engineering but I can see myself very easily enjoying this feature.
May I ask if you're at Amazon? That particular bar raising process is fairly unique to Amazon, or at least started with Amazon.

One struggle as a result is that the levels themselves slowly shift upward; it's harder and harder to get promoted as time passes. Other companies tend to have level compression, which Amazon's approach attempted to address. Now Amazon has a problem in that level 6, accepted as the typical terminal/career level, has become larger and larger as it stretches upward.
It's good to see Microsoft supports AMD now.

With recent benchmark of M1 family chip, I hope Windows don't support M1 chip, at least for now. I would like to see how AMD and Intel can do to change this performance game.

No. Not unique at all. Just usually the people complaining about come off as consipiracy nuts. That's because the campaings are that effective. Great, now I sound like one of

> Is this a paradigm shift?

Graphical "low-code" programming has been around for a long time in e.g. the control systems community, where people typically have strong math am physics backgrounds (e.g., knowledge of vehicle dynamics), but little experience with programming or software engineering.

Matlab Simulink and LabVIEW are well-known products that offer a low code approach to these fields. Large and complex projects are done with these tools.

IMO the complexity is shifted from interacting with the hardware to wrestling with the tools, e.g. version control, knowing what happens exactly and cooperation is really hard.
> Guy is 50, has been doing this for 30 years and I never used a product or a service of a company he was at the helm of, and I am not exactly a subsaharan farmer.

At least 47% (3.6 billion people) don't use Internet [5]. Half the population on earth have never heard of Apple, Google, Facebook, Netflix, etc. I personally don't buy anything from Microsoft (they make keyboards?), NVidia, Berkshire Hathaway, TSMC. Never bought CISCO switches or Oracle databases. Never went to Disney, don't drink Coke or Pepsi, never bought anything from Toyota. Don't use FB. Looking at the 50 largest companies[0], at least half of those are companies that I've never had any kind of interaction with. Are all these companies MLMs/scams?

> It's all about promises, hype and financial engineering to pump the stock so that he can take loans to finance his lifestyle.

Guy mostly works all the time (80+ hours), lives in a 50K prefab house (doesn't own a home, very few possessions) [1 - 3]. Why so much resentment against a guy who has broken the oil industry's stranglehold on electric cars? [4]

Should he emulate the frugal lifestyle of CEOs who aren't hated as much? Perhaps like Larry Ellison?

>20 years from now a whole bunch of people will look so stupid for believing this guy, it's like one of those MLM scams on a global basis.

Yep! Tesla is not a real product. SpaceX rockets are a fiction. Starlink doesn't exist. All these just materialized from thin air.

From vaporizing gas to replacing it with batteries, the Achilles heel of the Oil industry has always been a drop in demand. That is why, for decades, it encouraged big 5 Lt, V8 engines that practically spew wasted gasoline from the exhaust. And that is why Big Oil kept buying out any advancement fiercely - especially in the area of batteries. They bought patents and companies left and right. Bought and controlled. Bought and buried. As a result, electric cars in 2004 had the same range as electric cars did in… the 1890’s.
