Mid 90’s GMC Sierra trucks had carburetors with comparable fuel efficiency to current models. (Not sure about emissions though.)

It wouldn’t surprise me if some of the newer “Sierra Classic” line (same body style; overlapped the new platform model years) had airbags and carburetors.

Unfortunately, the interiors of those trucks were made of plastics that started shattering a decade ago. Good luck finding one with a working seat and door controls, let alone radio, etc!

As long as you kept them below 80mph, they handled great. Above that, the speedometer was pinned, and tapping the brakes caused them to pull hard to one side. I miss that truck.
If it's cheaper than the other alternatives then it has a place.
I'm quite intrigued by this.
I guess because they've succeeded in making their brand into some kind of insider signifier and so are able to charge a premium to people who want to think of themselves as connoisseurs
That's the use for it though. If Valve hypothetically minted NFTs for each unique individual CSGO skin variation, it'd be valued and would create a secondary market free of Valve's constant rent seeking. I see that as a very legitimate use of the technology.
I just realized I can keep my phone on DND 24/7 and it's wonderful (rings for contacts only).

The bonus of it only ringing for your contacts is that when your phone does ring, you know it's something relatively important.

Completely changed my relationship with my phone.

I think you're mis-reading the situation the rotation of each individual shape isnt destructive (been following the author's work for a while, this is a vector based solution) what he's talking about is rotating multiple nodes at once around a common center, so each individual shape receives a new rotation but also a translation.

as an artist who uses these kinds of tools, and someone who'se had to design easy to use interfaces, it's hard to convay "invariant center of mass" when the selection for multiple shapes usually involves drawing a screen aligned rectangle (which has a convenient and intuitive center point)
I had a similarly weird thing happen to me with an even weirder outcome:

I was in the Dominican Republic last year and I got a notification that someone had sent me $100 via CashApp. It wasn't a person I recognized, she looked clearly Dominican in her photo, and I presumed it was a similar sort of scam. (I assumed someone saw I had whatever "send to someone nearby" setting turned on, saw I was a foreigner, and decided to try for an easy mark).

I didn't refund it, I didn't cancel it - I just did nothing. And you know what happened?

Absolutely nothing. I waited for the phone call asking me to send the charge back. Nada. I waited for a text explaining it was a mistake. Nada.

It was over a year ago and I still have the $100. So.....maybe it was an actual, genuine mistake?

I feel like this is a solvable problem. Don't allow anyone to spoof the caller ID. Ever.
as the website itself points out one of the explicit purposes is to keep people moving and exercising. Keeping people mobile (like the MS affected woman in the clip) is a great idea.

One of the worst things for people who are already impaired is to be overly sedentary because it accelerates function loss. It doesn't surprise me at all that this is coming out of the Netherlands by the way, a country that has a strong culture of keeping people healthy and active.

I’ve tried mechanicals (Cherry switches), various rubber domes, the IBM buckling spring keyboards, and the Apple scissor switches. Then I was recommended the Niz by a friend, and it’s the closest thing to ideal I’ve ever used. To be honest, owning mechanicals made me realize how gimmicky they are. They distract me from my own writing, and can be a huge pain in the ass to coworkers or close ones trying to sleep. Unusable during work calls. No such issues with these nice electrocapacitive boards. I anticipate I’ll stick with them for a long time.
Thank you, I'm going to start running (again).
that doesn't mean abuse isn't an asshole move
Good article, and I think it's a sign we're approaching the trough of disillusionment w.r.t. serverless architecture.

Just like with microservices, the benefits come from not using it as a giant hammer for everything, but in isolated use cases where it's actually a good fit. These are few and far between for serverless and the first challenge is making the right decision of when to use it.

I do agree about vendor lock-in, but at the end of the day this is inescapable because of its very nature. It was always meant to be "run this code on someone else's infrastructure without me having to worry about maintaining it", so vendors are free to choose how that actually happens.

What we need to fix this are standards that can be adopted by all vendors, so that it's easier to migrate. Something like OCI for serverless that isn't tied to specific runtimes would be ideal.
I don't understand this viewpoint.

I get that a ton of poeple don't like politics in the sense of grandstanding politicians, debates on social issues that don't go anywhere, flame wars on FB, etc.

But the actual governments, fed state down to local have a huge impact on virtually everything we do in our daily lives. And in the US it's almost all politics. We aren't are less of a technocracy (idk if that's the correct term?) and not an authoritarian state.

Roads, pipes to bring water, sewer treatment, schools, healthcare (both subsidized and also the regulations on for profit insurance holders), cars, the food we eat, gas for our cars, etc etc etc. And oftentimes it's the smallest level politics that have the largest impact; city council & school board.

Maybe the internet might still be one of the largest still under regulated / touched by govt $ policy we have left.
oh nice!
If a person can represent two people then he can represent a theoretically unlimited number (just arrange everyone into a binary tree).
These false flag diversity initiatives are there to entrench the privileged white elite who are threatened by the children of often 1st generation immigrants.

From the article:

UC admissions officers have said they were able to thoroughly evaluate the flood of applications without test scores, using 13 other factors in the system’s review process, such as a student’s high school grade-point average, the rigor of courses taken, special talents, essays and extracurricular activities.

-

Special talents and extracurricular activities are great filters for the privileged. Nothing like the academic promise of fencing and rowing. The Winkelvoss twins from Greenwich Connecticut attended Harvard through the white elite loophole of rowing.

-

This is why there is an allergy to making it based on class and being poor. I doubt any poor blacks or Hispanics will benefit from this.

Revolutionizing ticketing. Tamper-proof and fair
B.A.M Ticketing provides a ticketing-as-a-service solution that eliminates black market, fake tickets, and scalper bots through blockchain security.
You are underestimating how effective a "management" technique is demonstrating that you can shoot underperforming minions.

I am somewhat skeptical of this take. I think if heaping abuse and threats of worse on people worked magic, there would be no homeless people in the US.

Threats only work if the capacity is there -- or almost there -- and it's feasible to extract X with sufficient pressure. But you still can't get blood from a turnip.
I find myself in the rower category mostly. I’m not a tech evangelist. But I like to build things. Legos. Paddleboards. Knowledge. And a whole lot of software over the years. Because of that I contribute to the effort to row forward I guess.

I do note that that a majority of rowed craft are rudderless and are steered by where the rowing (building, progress, etc) happens.

Interestingly while I’m not interested in anchoring or mutiny when it comes to society in general, when I consider what the internet has become, part of me does yearn for a bit of mutiny to burn what the internet has become down and make a better version. But just a small part of me. :)

Defi qualifies
As it should. The engineering (or lack there of) that goes into current processes is embarrassing.
The concept of programmable open source money should be enticing for what has historically been a crowd of people who are into open source, development and technology. I guess we draw the line at money.

I'm sad that we lost that crowd over the years and gained what seems to be angry old man yelling at tv screen.
This might be a dumb question... Are most of the treasuries we've already sold - e.g. I assume that's what $29 trillion in debt means - already fixed coupon rate from the govt? I know it trades on market which inverse reflects real return.

Just googling I found floating rate notes, which seem to respond like an adjustable mortgage would. But they seem small and short term.

But I do understand we have a deficit and have to sell more treasuries every year.

Maybe that would be a driver to have a more even budget.

But from my perspective Dems pass policy that a large % of the country likes. Raise taxes to pay for it. Republicans then win election and repeal and cut taxes but leave said popular policy. next Dem majority raises taxes but probably not even above the baseline before Rs cut it (e.g. the current draft reconciliation bill doesn't actually raise taxes much at all. it's crazy to me how cheap some of this stuff is when you take legit CBO scored credit for instance not handing out billions to pharma)
That's still only one of many, but those that want to remain ignorant will continue to handwave, find some excuse to dismiss it, and go on reading articles from other ignorant people about how there's no purpose so they feel good about themselves.
It's not about niceness. When you get a text about a potential scam there's an urgency to reply. And you can't just ignore it. All major banks send out official text messages to confirm large transactions. This has happened to me multiple times with Chase, and just recently I blocked a fraudulent ATM withdrawal using exactly the method outlined in the article (someone skimmed my debit card when abroad, I got a text from Chase when they tried to use it, I replied no, got a call from the customer service rep). Only thing missing was reading out the OTP, obviously, which I would not have done.
I think you're referring to courgette, which does the disassemble + patch + reassemble thing. Fwiw, Chrome now uses a simpler but competetive format called zucchini, see my recent comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29028534
I agree with you for the most part, but one field has done better. Athletics. Getting a job as an athlete is more about merit and less about connections than even tech. This is because it is much easier to measure talent than almost any industry. For running you only need a stopwatch.
yes, the Netherlands is a beacon of human-scale and human-oriented urban development (https://www.youtube.com/c/NotJustBikes documents this really well) and this invention fits in nicely with that perspective.
When I was a lawyer I had to develop a routine for sobering up enough to get stuff done (this was after lunch or social events with 2-3 drinks not getting plastered). I would drink a glass of water, take some dry snuff and watch something tranquil on netflix for like 30 minutes. Never failed to clear my head enough to focus. But if I was by myself I would never exceed a pint with lunch because I hate losing focus.
> Disks are cheap, storage is not.

I really like how you worded this, because I'm running into the same issue with my current fleet of servers. They all run kubernetes, have 100gb interconnects, are stuffed with NVMe drives and spinning rust (28tb per node, 2x2Tb nvme, and 4x6tb spinning drives) and, I've had the hardest time actually turning all those disks into a reliable, performant and easy to manage storage system.
> “In the background, they’re using the username with the forgot password feature, and that’s going to generate one of these two-factor authentication passcodes,” Otsuka said. “Then the fraudster will say, ‘I’m going to send you the password and you’re going to read it back to me over the phone.'”

It seems like a simple mitigation on the bank's end would be to add warning text to the 2 factor authentication.

"You have requested to change your password via our web portal at yourbank.com. If you did not request to change your password via the web portal, or if someone asked you to give them this number, then it is possible that someone pretending to be a bank representative is attempting to hack your account. The code to change your password is ..... Do not share this code with anyone."
I can't help but think about what happens when the poor ladies arm strength starts to diminish from MS and she is left with the whole installation rigged into her home.
'druk / another round' is a good movie that explores this question. the thing I took away from it is that drinking isn't an end in itself, and it's a mistake to treat it as inherently good or bad.
I’d say that’s a tad bit of an oversimplification and stereotyping.

>a student’s high school grade-point average, the rigor of courses taken, special talents, essays and extracurricular activities.

All of these metrics seem MUCH more gameable than the SAT. Sure, buying an SAT practice test book might bump your score up by 20 points. But if you look at the rigor of courses available, that is going to vary DRASTICALLY from school to school. At least when I was in high school, poorer schools had a lot less to offer in terms of AP classes, and wealthy people have obvious advantages when it comes to extracurricular activities and some "special talents"
This is exactly how it's done for spacecraft telemetry and telecommand too, but in this case it's to save bytes rather than processing time.

Same, it's quite sad reading these threads now. Even worse, they call it nothing but scams and speculation and give reasons that apply equally to traditional finance. I guess they aren't aware where the term ponzi scheme came from.
Tesla and Waymo/Cruise are playing entirely different games. Tesla is trying to make a full level 5 using only vision. Waymo and Cruise are going to level 4 in HD mapped service areas using every possible sensor they can fit onto a car.

I don’t know if you can say Waymo/Cruise are necessarily ahead in some absolute technological sense, but they’re definitely closer to achieving their own goals and likewise way closer to actually driving paying customers around in autonomous vehicles.

Weirdly I had the notification about an airtag found moving with me a few days ago.

I know the airtag is there or at least I know of one thats there! For some reason it's not on my "find my" under the family account. Also I've never had the notification come up when my partner is around only when I was on my own.
The link works and they're alive. I'm curious on why it doesn't work for you.
Major ones have it, but there are thousands of banks in the US and I'd wager almost all of them provide some form of online banking experience. Outside the larger ones security isn't really up to par.

I've used a few dozen keyboards. An early one was the nice capacitance keyboard in the Processor Tech Sol-20. I'm forever looking for a keyboard that feels like that. I'm using a Topre Realforce now. I've tested different keyboard keys by ordering key sample kits through Amazon, and found a couple that feel and sound similar to a Topre. I prefer shaped keys to Apple's flat short-travel keys because my hands can find the home position more readily.

One issue about Realforce: the configuration software for it is Windows only. Also Topre has said the keyboard might not work properly when connected to a Mac. I get the sense after using one for a while that the keyboard gets confused in a minor way, but beyond that I like the keyboard and expect to use it for a few years.
The media & now social media?

Politicians want to get/stay elected. If something is super popular & in the media a lot it will sway their positions. Sometimes not through elections I think gay marriage is an example of how quick we see major shifts in a short time.

Sometimes they just play theater and hold hearings like the FB stuff, but I think that's just an example of how most people don't actually really care...

I agree with the perspective that it feels like we've lost power to corporate interests, but looking back at the vanderbilt era etc maybe not..

"56% of Americans think major technology companies should be regulated more than they are now"

I think while the majority want more regulation, they are totally split on the direction. Do you think a majority of Americans could agree on something even as basic as "should social media companies be required to censor/moderate content on their platforms more or less?"

What human institution has endured? For more than say a few centuries? Of those few, how many served any of their original purposes, but instead optimized for the continuation of the organization to the exclusion of the stated mission?

"Gimme that old time Religion" and "here come the New Boss"
The anchoring portion of this essay reminds me of a thought experiment I’ve played with, which I call “the conservative’s dilemma.”

Imagine you are driving down a flat straight road (maybe you’re in Nebraska?). You get a speed your comfortable with and find you can keep the gas pedal pressed to the this exact same place. So much so, you rig up something to comfortably keep your leg wedged at just that depression. You have an outcome that is stable and desirable. You have optimized your method of achieving the outcome and are happy and pleased with that.

But the world changes. And you come to some hills. As the incline increases your speed drops. And you have an interesting dilemma. What will you conserve? Maybe you like the leg rig thing and are willing to live with loss of speed. Or maybe you prefer that speed, and will have to evolve your methodology. You can conserve one or the other, but not both.

I find many professed conservatives are often not comfortable with this. They answer “both!” They have a difficult time introspecting whether it is the result they want most? Or the methodology? But if they adapt in either realm, they have to become progressive in one way or the other.
>>> Especially Americans will jump all over it if the communist ban it. That just completely legitimizes it for anti communist Americans.

That may lead to an even worse outcome. The CCP may be able to do a 51% attack on BTC since a majority of the mining ops were in china.
