We had to deal with this; in our case, my daughter moved in with my mother as a (paid) caregiver. My Mom got to live in her home a lot longer, and my daughter had meaningful work. It was great to keep it all within the family.

You sound a bit younger than me, but take a look across your family connections. There might be somebody who could use a gig, and could benefit from close contact with an aging relative's wealth of life experiences.

Nonsense - there is no reason they can't provide display type models for people who enjoy building them to showcase (Like Airfix models for instance), whilst still providing the standard build-destroy-change cycle of products.

My kids are getting into Lego currently, and the quality is just as good as it has been. My Lego works perfectly with their Lego, and is just as fun!

My wife has been buying the Harry Potter Lego, because she likes to build them and display them, whilst I like to dig out old instructions and build old stuff with the kids, which they can change and tweak.

There are many people who consciously or implicitly think vehicular homicide isn’t a crime. Motorists frequently avoid consequences for ending the lives of bikers and pedestrians, even when they were impaired or intentionally driving recklessly

Many laws are passed not because people think it is morally wrong to do something, but rather because they feel society would be better if no one (or at least fewer people) did it

"you get 99% performance and 100% stability of a native Mac (not a single macOS/QEMU crash in years for me)"

I am curious how this is so stable for you. Are you running this on Intel? Just last week I installed this on my AMD Linux workstation to test some stuff with Xcode and qemu would crash randomly while compiling LLVM/Clang.
They need OLED.

Put the transparent OLED layer on top of the E-ink.

Now you can use E-ink for your static content or the OLED when you need dynamic content.

E-ink saves a lot of the OLED burn-in (which is at it's worst with white background) while OLED gives the ability to do more/better colors and fast response times.

Pure Harberger taxes aren't a perfect fit for copyright--7 initial years free* is what one fan of the original paper proposed--but I can't see how, compared to existing copyright law, they encourage dishonesty, get messy, or require new industry (a sufficiently large IP company might shift some spending from lawyers to valuation and risk assessment).

> A competitor to Disney could wait until they announce a new movie and then forcibly buy up enough rights to make the movie illegal to release.

In a de novo work like Toy Story, or a fully licensed work like Wreck-It Ralph, Disney owns the rights and knows their value when they announce the upcoming film. The problem only occurs in cases like Lion King, where an existing folk story gets Disneyfied, with no compensation, and often no credit, to the cultural originator of the story.

I'm ok with Disney needing to pay extra money while their competitors pay extra taxes, in cases like this.

Same!

Just briefly on this:

> Rosenbaum, who unilaterally attacked Rittenhouse

I don't think it's been clearly established why Rosenbaum attacked Rittenhouse. Rittenhouse's testimony on this sounds hollow and unlikely, and the narrative that Rosenbaum was unhinged after getting out of hospital doesn't quite tally with the fact that there were people with him - he wasn't a lone actor here.

It seems incredibly unlikely that there wasn't some sort of verbal provocation from Rittenhouse's side. As I mentioned in another comment, the drone footage shows Rittenhouse pointing his gun at Rosenbaum while Rosenbaum is still 20 feet away from him. To my mind, it's far from certain that this was the first time Rittenhouse pointed his gun at Rosenbaum, but we'll never know.

Now to my main point:

> In this case, I would argue that the scale is proportionate.

If I think to how I personally would have acted in Rittenhouse's position from the moment Rosenbaum threw the bag at him, I think I would probably also have been in a state of adrenaline-fueled panic, and I would have probably made very similar choices.

I don't really have any arguments that Rittenhouse only fired his gun at people he (reasonably, whether rightly or wrongly) believed were attacking him. I do think it's a stretch to think that they were all trying to kill him, particularly Huber (is this further evidence to support my hypothesis above that maybe Rittenhouse escalated the lesser threats of being disarmed or of being detained to threats of deadly force? Hard to say).

To be honest, I think things started to go wrong a lot earlier than that though. He chose to go to a location where he was expecting people to get injured, brought a gun with him, and associated himself with a band of people who believed that they were some kind of private security force.

No-one died that night (or any other night of the unrest) apart from the people Rittenhouse killed, there were no other reported injuries from gunshots, no mob attacks[0], which makes it seem relatively unlikely that anyone would have died if Rittenhouse had not been there, or had not brought his AR-15.

Whatever the ins and outs and the specifics of the case might be, I still think that Facebook were right to err on the side of caution here - technically he may not have committed a crime, but he still killed people, and although the doctrine of 'innocent until proven guilty' holds, his 'innocence' hung on an affirmative defence, which sort of swings it the other way to a certain extent.

[0]: I gather there were some minor injuries to a firefighter and a police officer, but couldn't find details on the circumstances.
I know you're probably joking, but I looked it up and apparently the Philips drive was only just starting to be circulated to screw manufacturers when the church was built. TIL!
I think you have a case of premature optimisation there, as I wrote in a recent comment[0].

Isn't the orange piece hollow, so it should be possible to push something in it and drive the pin out (moving the red piece into the green one) after aligning the splines?

When it comes to attaching the body to the underframe, axles are inserted into holes in the side and, while they do not mate with an axle hole inside the body, they cannot be removed without putting the mechanised beast on its side, shaking it, and hoping for the best.

That is definitely what is called a "blind pin" in machining, with a tighter interference fit, and they are usually avoided in components meant to be serviceable, since removing them requires drilling them out.

It seems amusingly ironic that with the increase in the difficulty of disassembling consumer products, Lego also follows suit.

Interestingly enough, it might actually be good for replayability because the guaranteed absence of a card can change the optimal strategy in otherwise exactly the same situation.

While I agree with your sentiment, I don't think that's quite what the person you're responding to meant. Rather than talking about how things should be, they're talking more about the reality of the available options as they are now.

To give a baseline: I pay for email hosting through a reputable non-Google company. It costs me about $40 a year, for both the domain name and the email hosting, and it didn't require me to have any technical knowledge to set up. Compare that with, for example, my cell phone plan (around $100 a year) and it seems pretty affordable, or at least comparable to other common bills.

I think it's helpful to think of this in terms of other utility services. People tend to agree that heat, electricity, phone, etc. should be accessible to the non-rich. But those still cost money to operate, and the cost is paid by consumers. (There can be a broader discussion around who should pay for this, but the money does come from somewhere.)

If we decided that electricity could be free, but that it would be funded through personal data collection, that you could permanently lose access at any time, and that you wouldn't be able to get outages fixed in a timely manner, that most people would prefer the current model.

The bottom line is that email is pretty important to modern life, similar to a phone. One way to ensure that your email is reliable is to pay for it.

Tesla aside, do you know what I miss?

An actual physical key that I have to turn to start the engine. There's something very affirmative about it, and it's been replaced with a rather sterile "brake-push-start" sequence. I realize that behind the scenes it's all the same thing (no flick of the wrist will crank an engine, of course), but I still like the analog aspect of the key. Maybe that makes me a hipster.

My remote chews through the tiny CR2032 battery every couple months, and when that happens, the car (a Mazda, fwiw) no longer detects the key and refuses to start until I bring the key within close proximity of the ignition.

A physical key would sidestep the problem altogether, although I imagine there are HN commenters now ready to reply that a key-ignition car is easier to steal, or something.
In my opinion Godot is to Unity what Unity was to Unreal a few years ago and we can see where it is now.

I may be a bit biased since we are developing one of the bigger (in terms of players not in terms of visuals) VR games made with Godot.

For example, Godot had hand tracking for the Oculus Quest, 3 months before the big two and even now with the movement to OpenXR there is already a beta that supports passthrough while I still hear my peers using Unreal complaining about being left out over Unity devs

Lego instructions are the unparalleled 5-star tier on my "ranking of assembly instructions." No words (at least when I grew up, I haven't made a set in a long time), complicated assemblies, yet it's totally clear every step of the way. Glossy, high-res, colorful diagrams. Modular sub-assemblies. Every step is so clear.

Ikea gets a 4-star rating, sometimes 4.5.

Words? Immediately dock 1 star.

If using a manifest ("part A, B, E used in this step"), which is necessary because not everything is as distinct as Lego bricks, and you don't provide a scale printout so I can sort the M6x10's from M6x12's, dock a point. Another point if you don't label the diagram with callouts and expect me to visually discern two similar parts by their 10pixel wide render.

Using fasteners of very similar geometry (see above) for no discernible reason, dock a point.

Low print quality of diagram with the toner chipping off? Insta fail.
The manufacturer must carry out comprehensive safety testing of their automobiles before putting them into production - that's how other safety-critical tech is deployed.

That is: their test results should be providing them with all the feedback they need. We're not talking about a broken UI on a shopping website. Broken "smarts" in a car is like broken brakes; it's not OK to just wait for users to find out for you.

If they "did the wrong thing" with car safety, then they shoun't be allowed to sell cars until the problem is fixed.
Think of the implications of throwing the car away once you lose your keys. Environmentalists will hunt you and rightfully so, most of the emissions a car produces happen during its manufacturing.

If they introduce a mechanism where the manufacturer only can unlock the car, it would mean that they will need to be involved in all kind of disputes people have over the ownership or usage of the car. You will also have people telling you that you don't own the car as with the case of the some agriculture manufacturers that lock down their systems against unauthorised repairs.

I'm more in favour of leaving the police work to the police, let's not integrate the law enforcement and manufacturers. There's already interest in disabling cars when authorities deem necessary. The problem here is that the authorities might not be or may not remain your favourites.
Agree with the bloat issue, I use Vivaldi because tab tiling, which is unique to this browser, but the additional functionality seems like it will become a crippling maintenance burden for a small team. I get that Tetzchner is trying to stand out in a sea of Chrome clones, but things like the Hue bulb integration and especially the not really fun or interesting embedded minigame are particularly egregious examples of things which are just wasting time, as well as introducing bugs and attack surface. Just shows a lack of discipline from the product management. Make this stuff an optional extension or something.
I think there's a reason bucketeers skew younger: imagination is replaced by knowledge as we age.

Carry flag and overflow checking? We don't need those things because C doesn't support it! That sadly seems to be the kind of thought process behind RISC-V, and a lot of other "modern" computing:

Everything should be written in C, or some scripting language implemented in C. Writing safe code is easy, just wrap everything in layers of macros that the compiler will magically optimize away, and if it doesn't, computers are fast enough anyway, right? The mark of a real programmer is that every one of their source files includes megabytes of headers defining things like __GNU__EXTENSION_FOO_BAR_F__UNDERSCORE_.

You say your processor has a single instruction to do some extremely common operation, and want to use it? You shouldn't even be reading a processor manual unless you are working on one of the two approved compilers, preferably GCC! If you are very lucky, those compiler people that are so much smarter than you could hope to be, have already implemented some clever transformation that recognizes the specific kind of expression produced by a set of deeply nested macros, and turns them into that single instruction. In the process, it will helpfully remove null pointer checks because you are relying on undefined behaviour somewhere else.

You say you'll do it in assembly? For Kernighan's sake, think about portability!!! I mean, portable to any other system that more or less looks the same as UNIX, with a generous sprinkling of #ifdefs and a configure script that takes minutes to run.

Implement a better language? Sure, as long as the compiler is written in C, preferably outputs C source code (that is then run through GCC), and the output binary must of course link against the system's C library. You can't do it any other way, and every proper UNIX - BSD or Mac OS X - will make it literally impossible by preventing syscalls from any other piece of code.

IMO this is like a cultural virus that seems to have infected everything IT-related, and I don't exactly understand why. Sure, having all these layers of cruft down below lets us build the next web app faster, but isn't it normal to want to fix things? Do some people actually get a sense of satisfaction out of saying "It is a solved problem, don't reinvent the wheel"? Or do they want to think that their knowledge of UNIX and C intricacies is somehow the most important, fundamental thing in computer science?

We have a cross between a purebred momma English Spring Spaniel and a purebred daddy Black Lab. They were an accidental happening and we got our boy for cheap. One of our friends got one of his sisters. The variety in those pups is pretty wild. The coloring is similar, black body with white tuxedo stripe along the belly. Our boy is nearly identical looking to the purebred flat coated retrievers we had growing up, he has soft long fur and fully webbed feet. His sister looks like a runt black lab with short coarse fur, our boy is twice her size in weight and stature. I love our mutt!
Kafkaesque.

I think China's intention to surpass the U.S. as the dominant superpower by 2049, the 100-year anniversary of the PRC founding, is absolutely crystal clear and without doubt. They have said they would like to accomplish this through military means if necessary, but focusing on economic and technological means/"warfare" -- their term not mine (see "Unrestricted Warfare" by PLA Colonels Liang and Xiangsui written in 1999 on the 8 year anniversary of the Gulf War; https://www.c4i.org/unrestricted.pdf) In fact, the paper clearly argues for going to war with a more powerful adversary by using network warfare prominently. Full disclosure: I have not read the entire paper, but enough of it to get the gist since they clearly state their goals and intentions.

Now, is China doing something America has not done? Absolutely not. Is it crazy for a country to want to become more powerful? Absolutely not. Is it wrong for a country to do so? I would argue not, since their first responsibility should be to their people, and usually -- not always -- a more powerful country on the world stage is better for the people of that country.

I believe in a globalized world, I am not a nationalist, and think if the world could truly come together, it would obviously be better for all of mankind. However, I am also an American, and although I don't love everything about my country by any means, I am going to pick and favor my country over a foreign one when that country is clearly an adversary. Does that mean I want harm to come to China? No. Does that mean I wish ill-will of the Chinese people? No.

And for what it's worth, I don't think anyone is unbiased and believe it is unrealistic to expect people to be. I think biases are as fundamental (in good and bad ways) to being human as walking on two legs is. Biases are critical to how our brain/memory works -- we have something like 180+ known cognitive biases (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cognitive_biases). I think the best thing we can do is recognize and acknowledge when we have bias, and factor that knowledge in to how we are thinking about a topic. For example, because of what I do for a living, if I see a positive story about the benefits of marijuana or crypto, I will initially be inclined to believe it may be true; the good ol' confirmation bias at work. But, I also usually try to stop myself, and think more critically of the information being presented, since I know that I am going to be inclined to have that bias towards the two topics. I feel as humans, that is the best we can do. Anyone who pretends to not be biased in any way whatsoever is lying. My father was a psychiatrist for 43 years, and I talked to him about this many times over the course of my life, and he agreed that he's never seen someone who did not have bias.
