This looks like a simple and elegant solution to a very real problem that affects lots of people's lives. But I can't help but think that in addition to the obvious upside of giving people a lot of autonomy, there's a significant downside here that should not be ignored. The flip side of making basic life activities easier is that if a person gets used to it, it can be pretty easy to slip into the complacency of relying on the device and actually never regain full normal function. I wonder if it would be feasible to augment that system with a leverage/resistance control that could be gradually changed. From my cursory look at the video it looks like there's some kind of mechanical leverage system in place (or at least there could be). Then a rehab schedule could start someone on, say, a 2x force multiplier and then gradually dial that back to 1x, and perhaps eventually < 1x which would then start to function as a strengthening / resistance training regimen.

I imagine this kind of graduated assistance/resistance feature would probably increase cost, complexity, and maintenance a meaningful amount. Question is, how much? Perhaps it might be worth it?

In my view, things like ownership and property are not absolutes, but are an evolved set of ad hoc rules and customs. They're maintained because they mostly work, except in some cases when imposed by a person in power. Discovery of a loophole, or development of a new technology, might render the old customs obsolete and require new ones to be developed.

A lot of "ownership" and pricing systems are attempts to govern the distribution and conservation of public goods and externalities. Charging money for heat or electricity are ways to encourage conservation of things that are ultimately subsidized.

Using someone's wi-fi is an interesting case. If I noticed that my neighbor had a water leak, I wouldn't water my lawn with it. I'd tell them about the leak. Likewise, unsecured wi-fi exposes them to a risk of nefarious access to their network, and I'd tell them about it.

I responded to the parent comment so I won't belabor it, but I think this take on the article is faulting the author for a claim she never made. The article never even mentions schizoaffective disorder and makes no attempt to propose a cure for mental illness. Discussions about useful approaches for dealing with relatively mild depression are not a criticism of people who suffer from more serious conditions.

Most banks have separate customer facing departments and back office departments that process paperwork. In the full evolution of this setup the customer facing departments are basically useless, and answer your questions by putting you on hold while calling up a back office department. Getting the actual details of some issue is like pulling teeth with these arrangements, because the front end has no domain knowledge. But every so often a person from the back office will call you to ask a question and you'll get to speak to a real human who can intelligently tell you the status of an issue. And so when you get calls like that, your choice is to either just roll with their insecure process where they want to verify you but you don't verify them, or give up getting that additional visibility and ultimately spend more time on the phone working through the front end.

As skeptical as I am of the AGI and even full self-driving, successes like AlphaGo, AlphaFold 2, and Deepfakery from video to voice all demonstrate the technology can do things we never really could do before.

But in all of those cases humans are in the loop to either build the system at scale or to keep it from going off the rails in production. I see much more of that in the next decade. And I don't think there's going to be an AI winter but I do hope there's a reckoning for all the snake oilers of AI out there. I mean they're the same people who snake oil for crypto too, and they're just getting their game on for snake oiling the metaverse.

Maybe that will happen for AI VC, but as someone else said, VC is where good ideas go to die.

My first apartment in Boston was like this. I was on the top floor and I’d have to leave the windows open all winter because it was so unbearably hot from the heat being cranked up in the units below me. I remember nearly sweating to death during a major snowstorm because I had closed the windows to keep the snow out but keeping the snow out meant I kept all of the hot air in!
Ah, this is interesting - you have a centralized entity that handles the transactions? This is indeed what must be the reason for the widespread of the availability.

In France I know that Fortuneo gives that possibility, but for instance Boursorama or Credit Mutuel do not.

It is funny how the banking is different between countries in the EU. France is slowly making its way though the 90's while Poland uses a phone based transaction system (BLIK). I always saw Portugal as bing very modern in that way (you had chips on your identity cards for years, we just got them this year, with the new credit-card format of id cards)

While electric or hydraulic would be the easy way to make it move on its own when it's on the wrong floor, but not the only way. I'm sure that a system with a rope, pulley, and latching could be used to move it up or down just fine, albeit a bit more slowly. For moving from the higher to the lower level, one could design a setup so it just ratchets itself down with gravity, just clicking down a few cm at a time instead of just releasing and falling down, and this could also serve as a bit of a safe/speedy descent mode if the user can't do the whole motion one day. For ascending, just releasing the catch and pulling up on a pully/winch with a ratcheting mechanism would get it up there fine.

I really like these designers' ethos of not using electricity, and it'd be best to keep that intact as capabilities are added.

I just finished 2k+ california => florida road trip in an electric car and can say with confidence that this comparison is total and utter garbage.

Here are the factors that influence your total charge time.

1. Charger speeds vary from 50 kWh to 250 kWh. That's 5x difference just based on what charger you'll happen to use.

2. The energy usage (due to air resistance) is non-linear with speed. Driving at 85 mph could use twice as much energy as driving at 65 mph.

How fast you drive will have an enormous effect on how much energy you use and therefore how much you'll need to recharge during the trip.

In extreme case, you can hypermile i.e. drive very slowly. For example someone in 2018 Model 3 did 606 miles on a single charge (a car rated at less than 300 miles). It just took them 32 hrs because they drove so slowly (https://www.theverge.com/2018/5/29/17405906/tesla-model-3-hy...)

BTW: this is why EPA range is not representative. Their test is at 65 mph while my un-scientific observation of highway driving tells me people drive at least 75 mph.

3. Details of recharging matter because it's non-linear. Charging to 80% of battery takes roughly the same amount of time as charging remaining 20% to 100%

3. More people in car => more weight => more energy usage.

Use a/c? More energy usage.

Strong winds? More energy usage.

Driving uphill? More energy usage.

The point is that unless you strictly control for all those factors, any comparison is useless garbage, just like this click bait article with zero information about how the test was done.

Those days you can't even trust car magazines to do a decent comparison test.

It’s interesting how many people are irritated by the tone of the article and how it appears to trivialize depression. The argument isn’t the blogger should not have written any thing. Just not trivialize it and make themselves seem so great at solving stuff.

>On 6 October 2017, Mozilla announced a test where approximately 1% of users downloading Firefox in Germany would receive a version with Cliqz software included. The feature provided recommendations directly in the browser's search field.

The press release noted that "Users who receive a version of Firefox with Cliqz will have their browsing activity sent to Cliqz servers, including the URLs of pages they visit," and that "Cliqz uses several techniques to attempt to remove sensitive information from this browsing data before it is sent from Firefox."

It’s an electric car, it doesn’t seem unreasonable to have an electronic security system tied to locks, alarm and immobiliser. If there’s no power you’re not going anywhere anyway.
The Tesla App seems to be divided into convenience features (which use an Internet connection) and a key (which uses Bluetooth).

The key part does not rely on Tesla's servers to operate (except probably for initial setup?). I had no problem unlocking or starting my Tesla during the outage.

Sadly, the App (convenience part) isn't 100% reliable. It occasionally fails to connect to the car and the only way to get it to work is to force close it. However, I have never had the key part fail to work.

Very neat and similar to a project I am starting for packet radio. I went further with the dictionary concept so that it contains common data. This way, your message contains only a few dictionary "pointers" (integers in base 64). This makes it easier to fit messages in ASCII for 300 baud links.

In the EU this is a EU regulation, so all banks have the same rules.

I just checked, it is now 50€ only, and only if the payment was done with a PIN or SMS/app confirmation. This is the maximum amount (so if you had, say 3 times 300€ of fraudulent transactions, you would pay a max of 50€ total - and like I said it is not likely that the bank will make you pay anyway)
Guix has lots of packages in the default channel, and you can add any odd git repo as another channel providing extra software.

There are quite a few popular channels, such as non-guix (with things like vanilla Linux), guix-science, guix-past, etc.

As a maintainer of R packages in Guix I'd also like to point out that many R packages in Nix actually need more work to build them, so the number of packages in Nix is rather inflated. Guix also goes to great lengths to actually build things completely from source, such as Java packages, or to minify JavaScript from source files.

I don't think she would be under arrest. She is probably kept safe or was told to remain silent before the investigation is done. I know it is so kind of backward way of handling the issue. The case would be postponed by the general CCP meeting, and investigation only starts afterwards. She would be questioned maybe, but I am fairly certain she will not face any danger. She may be asked not to give any comment given the investigation. And investigation normally would take some time.

Yes, because Amazon, like a bad landlord, could at any point in time kick you out, or quintuple your rent. What GP has built is fragile.
If there’s no power, you still need to be able to get in or out of the car. It doesn’t matter if the 12V or the HV electronics are failed: you cannot leave somebody with only breaking a window as the method of ingress or egress from a physically intact vehicle. It is genuinely mystifying.
There’s nothing inherently unsustainable about relying on insurance for this type of thing. Arguably, properly priced cyber coverage would increase companies’ incentive to invest in good security, since it translates a possible cost in the future to a certain cost today in the form of higher premium.

The problem is that cyber risk is (1) effectively impossible to model due to a lack of representative data and (2) probably highly correlated between companies, meaning that a vulnerability in a widely-used library or platform could mean massive systemic risk for insurers. As a result, premiums probably don’t align well with the underlying risk, even after the corrections described in the article. Profits in cyber insurance were very high (think combined ratios in the 50s-60s) and stable for a long time, but that ship seems to have sailed.

Those "free" trades may be costing people more than having a 'traditional' fee, and claiming otherwise will get you fined for false advertising as Robinhood found out:

> The Securities and Exchange Commission today charged Robinhood Financial LLC for repeated misstatements that failed to disclose the firm’s receipt of payments from trading firms for routing customer orders to them, and with failing to satisfy its duty to seek the best reasonably available terms to execute customer orders. Robinhood agreed to pay $65 million to settle the charges.

* https://www.sec.gov/news/press-release/2020-321

Further, I'm not sure 'free' trades may not be a good thing: it's long been observed that the more active a person is in trading, the less they tend to generally make compared to market averages. Some friction in trading seems to be a good idea as it forces one to actually consider the action you're about to take and whether it's actually a good move.

The app and car communicate directly over Bluetooth for a number of functions, like lock/unlock, popping the trunk, and starting the car. This outage didn’t affect that (I drove my Model 3 during this time period).

You can start the car over the internet, too, but this is not typical, and the app actually warns you when you try to to do this.

Finally, the Model 3/Y have backup keycards that Tesla encourages you to keep with you just in case your phone dies. The app tells you this when you first pair your phone.
