>My 2007 Toyota Avalon Touring drives pretty well with none of those 'trinkets'.

Does it? This reminds me of a constant refrain on the internet about nearly any medical or safety advancement, where people say something along the lines of "we survived just fine before". But we didn't. Life expectancy for most of human existence, and right up until early 1900s, was mid-50s. And we had billions fewer people, because the death rate was so much higher despite a much higher birth rate. US modern car fatality rate per 100k people peaked around 1970, at around 26. Now the rate is 11. Or if you want to normalize by VMT (vehicle miles traveled), the rate is still over 4x less, 5x less compared to the 60s. And that's just fatalities. What about simpler injuries, or even plain old fenderbenders which can still be quite expensive and time consuming?

These days, accidents involving blind spots are an obvious next thing to pursue. Looking at stats from the NHTSA and such, seems to be around 2000 deaths per year from parking lot accidents and 91000 injuries. 360 degree cameras have obvious value there. Even more so because now we care a lot more about fuel efficiency, but aerodynamic shapes don't always lend themselves to great native visibility particularly since we also care about driver/passenger protection.

Cooled seats is more of a comfort feature, but then again a significant number of accidents are due to people getting sleepy, irritated or otherwise distracted. And too hot a car can definitely affect that. Cooling the seat can be an efficient way of greatly improving comfort without the energy of cooling all the air in the car so much.

Carplay/Android Auto obviously have more minimal safety implications. They could be negative if they are badly implemented and increase distraction, or positive if they allow more control without removing attention from the road via voice or navigation that is more attention friendly then trying to use a phone while driving. But nevertheless they are now becoming more important features in terms of navigation and roles that were previously played by radio.

So as is so often the case I don't think a naked "my ancient car 'drives fine'" is justified as the standard that should exist forever. And I say that as someone still driving a pretty old car (2006 Volvo) much of the time. And it was fine for the time. But that doesn't mean I think progress stopped in 2006 anymore then it stopped in 1996, 1986, 1976, 1966, or 1956.
Kia's EV reliability > Teslas is maybe the biggest win.
This uses “a combination of scraped dislike stats, estimates extrapolated from extension user data and estimates based on view\like ratios.” I.e. guessing.
I pick up litter when out in nature, because I don't think anyone but me will pick it up. In a city like San Francisco there's a multi-billion dollar budget and a sanitation department that tax payers pay for so that they won't have to do it themselves.
It's ridiculous to pay taxes and then be told to clean street trash if you don't like it.
let me tell you about horrors of react-native
Fuel dumped by an airplane breaks up into small droplets in the turbulent slipstream and quickly evaporates before it falls very far - and, being distributed from a fast-moving airplane, leaves only a thin and quickly-dissipating slick on the surface.

If the goal was, as you suggest, to get rid of any trace of the fuel, one would simply not do it close to the surface!

As it happens, I believe the Inmarsat events and radar intercepts indicate that the airplane was flying at a normal cruising altitude, and the the claim that it flew this pattern puts it at 36,000ft.

The simplest way to crash without leaving a fuel slick is to fly until fuel exhaustion. Spending 22 minutes in a holding pattern would put off estimates of how far the airplane could have gone on its fuel load (as would dumping fuel en-route), but I have no reason for thinking this was a motivation of the person then in control of the aircraft.
very interesting write-up!

social media could be accelerating groupthink. it's so easy for people to form a group that shares the same beliefs and opinions. in the past it may have taken years.

nowadays it's a matter of minutes.

that sentence at the end about rationalists got me thinking. there is a group of people identifying themselves as rationalists on twitter. i have been very surprised how similar they are in their way thinking and doing. they recommend the same books, share the same ideas, do the same things, etc. a self-fulfilling prophecy.

just something i have been thinking about lately...
when my history teacher told me that there was a verdict "ten years' shooting", I thought he was kidding. Apparently he was not. It means 10 years in gulag and then a bullet to the head, provided you survive that ordeal. Paroles, hah!
Yeah, I saw that, but I'm still concerned about plant-based meat emulation being a processing-intensive solution.
I think this is an old library
It seems like you're suggesting that if the "lifestyle"-type techniques described in the article aren't a solution to your specific situation, then it's condescending and useless to describe those techniques. I don't agree, and I don't think the author was proposing to lay out some universal program for eliminating all forms of depression. She was merely describing what was helpful for her.

Obviously people who have more serious conditions may need different interventions, and needless to say there is a whole pharmacopeia of chemical tweaks to be explored above and beyond lifestyle modifications. Those are also valid and valuable.
Microsoft makes this extremely difficult, even for an offline account.

If you log into any Microsoft product (Office, Teams, Skype OneDrive, etc), Windows forces you to log into everything else.

This is especially infuriating with Office, as they make it extremely difficult to get a standalone product, they very aggressively push Office 364, so you are forced to log into Office to even use it.

Sorry, but you are wrong. GNU people won't run nonfree JS at all.

LibreJS is a good example in order to kill any potential Spectre/Meltdown attack. There is no attack when no code is being run.
The reason might be because ten years ago we all went home to our moms and pops and told them we had finally found a perfect browser for them that was much safer and leaner and better in every way and even though the switch from IE to Chrome was hard on them, they went along. Now they are masters of their browser and will not listen to us proclaiming that "well, I was wrong to put you on Chrome, but this time I really have found the bestest browser".

Also, there's a lack of benign browsers in the market. Even team FF tries to make your mom buy things she doesn't really want or need, with their Firefox Suggest feature.
> "There will be a secondary mechanism to get in or out of the car beyond the app, the difficulty will come for drivers if they are not carrying it," he said.

Deadlocked inside your car because the app is down is a scary thought in summer.
Some states already have mandatory voter ID like Canada, all of them allow a utility bill as an alternative.

I don't see the harm in authenticating people.
It also might be hard to retain, because people involved in cybersecurity are not giving proper authority, respect or other organisational resources to do their job.
If the bluetooth works, I'm surprised the app wouldn't automatically switch to that when the RPC cloud call fails.
Show HN: Cleanvoice – Automated Podcast Editing
why is it nonsense? i think not trusting vendors that dont let you verify their product is quite sensible. note this is not paranoia to think that they are doing something malicious. its just as simple as dont trust strangers
I miss this too.
AppleTV + VLC. VLC can access network shares (NAS, computers, etc.)
Interesting, according to the GitHub, dislike data is still available via the API but it will be removed soon. It mentions there is some kind of effort to scrape as much dislike data as possible while it's still there.
Hey HN!

I like podcasting, but I hate editing them. I tend to stutter and have a lot of filler words in my podcast. That's why I created Cleanvoice, in order to spend less time editing them. Cleanvoice is an ML tool which removes filler words, mouth sounds, stuttering and dead air from your podcast. To use it, just upload your podcast - wait some minutes - download the cleaned audio.

It's still not perfect, but it's at a stage where I can blindly use it on every single one of my podcast.

I would love to hear your feedback!
Well, you can run Linux using WSL in Linux so you can get Crystal working there anyways.
It's always a good idea to keep a window-breaking tool in your car for emergencies.

Just seems silly to have to break a window because of an internet outage.
Silly question: I can still see the number of dislikes on YouTube videos, is this still being A/B tested, or does it refer to other functionality?
This is a good comment.

However most of ransomware targets are well-established companies and already have an insurance, as the article stated. The insurance pays any lack of cybersecurity on behalf of them. Until it does not.

I posted the linked comment almost a year ago, but the incident happened much closer at the start of Covid. I didn't say it at the time, but I willingly say it now, LiveCode were the perpetrators. They employ the dark pattern of graciously offering free stuff for education during lockdown, because they are such good guys, and then will charge $1500 if someone forgets to cancel their offer. After the dashes is copy of the text from the other comment:

--------

I treat 'free but remember to cancel' plans as scams.

About 10 months ago I got emails from a company that developed an development environment that was I was mildly interested in. They presented an offer with said it was free so that people could help educate themselves during lockdown. Unfortunately the terms was after 1 year you needed to pay something like $1500 if you didn't cancel, these terms were right at the bottom of the page and very hard to spot. Paid through PayPal and the about $1500 was there right in front of me. I cancelled it on the same day.

A company offering that sort of deal waiting for people not to cancel and saying it is to help people during the lockdowns is just awful.

---------

Addenda: Unfortunately I don't have the original email for this any more, as I was annoyed and marked it as spam before copying any text like an idiot, and it vanished. Although I may be able to use the internet archive to recover the page the email sent me to. Aside: if anyone doesn't copy the text they wrote in a webpage to a text editor or something before they press the 'submit' button or equivalent, they may regret as I have a couple of times, if an AI or site error swallows their text, it's a good habit to get into.

It uses the YouTube API, which still shows dislike data. They will switch to inferior methods once the data in December when dislikes are removed from the API. I would indeed prefer it to show "unknown" rather than just guessing, although there is also value in displaying the views:likes ratio separately.
No idea if they do it, but I imagine you could pull the whole thing up pretty easily, even easier with some type of winch.
Dislikes will be removed for everyone by 13th December. It's been removed slowly.
And if you "pinch to zoom", it adds extra content!

This is the world being built around us. You don't own anything and even the stuff you do own has a lot of caveats that sure make it seem like you don't own it.
i still see the dislikes. and a couple of people have said the same. what's going on? a/b testing taken too far?
This is absolutely bonkers to me. Why does a car need electronics at all to open the door? Were they not bored enough in design?

My car has keyless fob-proximity entry and a key if the fob, or the car, runs out of battery power. Like a car does.
The product manager behind this cares about having numbers to show their manager and isn't concerned about the potential reputational impact it might have on the company as a whole. Their manager likewise will be happy to report in turn to their manager that they've increased revenue by a large amount. It's peanuts to the company but could be a large increase for that particular product which is what the managers get rewarded on.
1. Not always. Small institutions often have totalizing influence, and escaping small communities is often easier said than done.

2. There's nothing stopping private citizens from exerting social pressure on large corporations either.

Again, institutional size is a red herring in this conversation. Every argument that small is better than large or vice versa works symmetrically with plenty of real world examples. It's almost like size is a totally orthogonal issue.
Communication skills are key at the upper levels.

How well do you do with small talk?

Look for opportunities to communicate and network. Always be helpful and positive with people. Even if it means helping someone with an issue they are having in Excel.

Do you talk with product managers or others on the business side?

Have you mentored junior developers?

Do you help in the requirements analysis side and interface with BAs?

Do you read quarterly earnings statements and understand the direction and key items mentioned?

Prime example of organizational failure...
A lot of things YouTube has done in the last few years have pissed me off, but haven't really effected the amount of it I watched. This is different, not because it pisses me off, but because it genuinely reduces the usefulness of the whole service. I used to have a vague idea of the quality of a tutorial from the like/dislike ratio, but now I actually have to watch each one instead. For anything where my need to know is marginal, it's a large disincentive. So suddenly I'm searching on search engines instead of YouTube and trying out various other video services. And finding that some aren't bad.

I hope this extension catches on. Not only will it make YouTube more useful again, but it has the potential to bypass the games YouTube plays with those numbers. I hope something similar can emerge that indexes the content independently of YouTube. I hope some other open protocol emerges that lets us disintermediate YouTube all together.
yeah, it's not a new one.

I read your comment last night and it bothered me enough that I had to google it to find it this morning.

tl;dr: Look for things that spark joy and double down on them. Forget about success, focus on fun in the moment.

I beleive you have an unmet need which is causing you suffering, it just may not be what you seem to think it is.

I also started feeling the same way lately. I work with a bunch of PhDs. To me it seems like they are constantly running marathons, writing papers, giving talks etc. Me I'm just a programmer working amongst them, hopefully helping them write better code.

Added to that, I also felt just meh about the work I do, another server deployment, another backend service to deploy etc... Objectively I know it helps the scientists I work with, but it just doesn't feel that way.

Honestly I thought I didn't like programming anymore till I happened upon something that sparked the same joy I used to feel when I was 13 hacking on my Apple ][. It happened to be the Rust programming language (I had been mostly doing Java server side work recently).

I would say that the fact that you are even feeling like this, that you are even asking these questions suggests that you have a divergent mind. Don't stop looking, except don't use 'success' as your criteria, look for the things that give you joy, and when you find one just keep coming back to it.

Note that the joy may not leap out at you right away. It can be that we have gotten out of the habit of recognising fun when we see it, so you might have to make yourself quiet enough to hear it.

Edit: To add a final point. For me I figured that one of my unmet needs was to have my own thing that I could master completely. My side project in Rust became that for me. In that project I was not forced into any compromise, and I understand each and every line in there. Rust actually made this easier for me, because I found that their documentation is aimed at allowing you to reach full understanding¹, which after years of trial and error server side programming with frameworks felt just simply awesome to me.

Why can't we have a wiki style libgen "alternative" if the only "copyright" arises from "editing" and miscellaneous efforts they put into it. Would libgen be "low quality" if it somehow had access to all research irrespective of quality?

And the cost? The only thing I care about in cars is the cost and how far it drives. The cost and distance between charges (obviously infrastructure comes into this) is why I don't own an electric car.
My guess is that there's a fair amount of politics behind such a statement.
The kind of politics that has to do with SJWs, Eich, etc rather than any purely technical engineering decisions.

First thing first: did the author had clinically diagnosed depression? Or was a self-assessment?

What would people think if bloggers start giving advice on how to sort out cancer because they felt some lump in their leg, self-diagnose and decided to cure it with massage? Or giving advice on how to cure cirrhosis because their liver hurt for a couple of weeks. But with depression, for most, it's fine.
You are probably very qualified to be a senior/leader at one of the thousands of non-huge software companies. Unsure if your comp would go up in the short term.

Also, I feel there’s nothing wrong with staying in a lane if you’re comfortable there and there’s a business need for it.
So this is more like an estimation based on the people using it?I mean it's better than nothing, but i guess it will vastly depend on the type of video and the extension audience.Stil,considering the amount of YT users...

Sadly the official dislike button won't return, i'd say there is less than 10% chance at this point.Too much "wrong think" for Youtube's shareholders,advertisers & partners(especially political ones).
Also the people don't really seem to care, but this kind of "we know better what's good for you" slippery slope did not make waves in the past(except for maybe small functionality/design issues where youtube was more like testing the waters on some updates) so can't say that i'm surprised.
OP

It's ok, nothing more than what you are doing is expected of you. So just relax, take your time doing things, be consistent, be honest and don't give a damn if you are world class or not. You won't live in euphoria if you excel at every computer task you are given. It will just be another day at work.
Liquidation. Most (all?) crypto loans are collateralized for the concerns you mention. If asset value drops to debt value plus a buffer, it’s liquidated. Someone else pays your debt and gets your assets. To pay back, you simply repay the same amount of the coin you borrow, lowering liabilities.

You get to keep what you borrowed in the case of liquidation but your assets are gone.

The original comment was nothing about Burry. Burry is relevant because he did sucessfully make money off the GFC by spotting the issue. Barely: he was facing stockholder revolt over the fees involved in maintaining the position, even though it resolved.

Which is the point: the market can (generally) remain irrational longer then you can remain solvent. Even when you're right.
I only have experience with GCP’s Cloud Functions, but in that environment, “serverless” is only cheaper than virtual servers if your load can’t saturate the lowest end VM GCP has to offer.

Once you have enough load to justify going “unserverless” the prices drop to approximately 1/4 that of Cloud Functions for the same burst performance, and that’s before playing billing games like long-term commitments or using preemptible instances.

What’s truly scalable about “serverless compute” versus VMs is the line item on your bill. Sure, “they manage the auto-scaling” but for the per-unit price you rapidly hit a point where you might as well set up a Kubernetes load balancer and eat the setup costs. The pricing model only works out in your favor if you _don’t_ have load.

It would not surprise me to learn that the same is true of AWS prices.
Someone will likely build a browser extension that tracks dislikes outside of YouTube and those who want some metric will install it and vote on videos. Just my guess.

The blog post is not properly describing the person merely was having a rut. Temporary unhappiness. Not clinical depression. However saying all that up front would make the post far less interesting and make the person far less interesting.

Clinical depression isn’t that serious or a condition for some people. It still isn’t the non factor the blogger had.
