There are many types of thieves. Those looking to sell, those looking to joyride, those that just want a ride, those looking to scrap.

Based on stolen car reports, an older car is more likely to be stolen simply because it is much easier due to lack of anti theft mechanisms.
>all kind of disputes people have over the ownership

At least where I am, when a car is registered the owner gets an "ownership" document, which is also registered with the government. Lists the vehicle, VIN, owner, etc.

Would this not stop whatever disputes over ownership you're referring to?
When I studied in Uni, it seemed like there were two different paths to reducing the number of copies and system calls in handling a network request.

1. Move the network stack to userspace. Then the code running in userland can get at the request without a copy.

2. Move the running code into the kernel. Then the code running in the kernel can get at the request without a copy.

Unikernals are a way to do 2. People just really don't want to pay for that syscall boundary.

I recently tried to start up some new accounts across all of big tech, while keeping my true identity private. I was making up names etc. I wanted to try out the services under a fresh new name and see what it was like (Facebook feeds etc).

Every one of them required a phone number and had all kinds of algos and databases in place to thwart anonymity. If all of your demographic information didn't match the country your IP address was in the experience turned into a brick wall.

I did this a few years ago when establishing an onion (new accounts created and accessed only over VPN+TOR) identity for the dark web and didn't have a problem.

If I needed to hide my identity and communicate with people as a non-techie journalist or dissident I would not know how to proceed at this point.

This is not being done to fight terrorism. The real reason is to ensure that every user is a real person that can be sold.

Well if you are going to be the steriotypical self centered prick of a person that I'd expect those who think like that to be, then do me and everyone else who needs a working healthcare system a favor;

If and when you become ill from the virus, stay at home. Don't call the emergency services nor go to a clinic/hospital.

You don't deserve their services if you are, as you describe, going to be playing a game of roulette with other people's health as the stakes.

If you have that shit happen to you, then own it. You made that bed for your self.
The no-code people imagine that we are on the verge of living in a world where that catalog's equivalent in software is just a few months away.

> Do the "Lego shelf" people ever disassemble the $500+ kits?

I've turned into a Lego Shelf person. I like to buy the architecture kits. I put them on the shelf in my office, but every so often when I get frustrated and no one is watching I will take one and smash it to bits on the floor like a child. It's great because it lets me vent, and it gives my future self the gift of building a Lego set. Really, it's an act of self-care.

The problem with all of the above is - what are you actually guarding yourself against. I've owned some pretty expensive vehicles in the past, and the advice you usually see around is to literally make it as easy as physically possible to steal your car, without actually leaving the keys in the car, and let the insurance handle it. IE - keys next to the main door of your house, in clear view, no fancy schmancy kill switches, no faraday cages, nothing like that - with the idea being that if someone is coming to get your fancy AMG or a Ferrari or whatever, they aren't an opportunistic thief that just happened to walk by - the car is being stolen either on specific order, or in general by people who know what they are doing. And if they get in your car and it doesn't start, or if their relay attack doesn't work, you know what's the next step? You get a gun to your head to start the car for them. You don't want them to enter your house to look for the key, or if they do, you want them to find it instantly and GTFO. Like, yes, the chances are low - but it's just not worth it. Have a good insurance policy instead.

If you are guarding yourself against opportunistic theft however, then the above doesn't apply - install all kinds of gadgets that you can.

That makes complete sense.

However a well recognized scientist specializing in dog breeding gave a talk at a conference for a particular breed. They had done extensive genetic analysis of that breed and had some recommendations. Among other recommendations, they recommended mixing in a few animals from the European variant of that breed into the American breeding population. The crowd went quiet, all future talks/panels for the scientist were cancelled. They were uninvited from the conference.

Sad that many breed enthusiasts and even the AKC (who sets the breed standards) are damaging the breeds they care so much about.

I think there is something important there that all people are different and have different goals/experiences/skills etc.

I would say that many companies corporate hierarchy enables/rewards people with political goals to end up in positions of power which slowly corrode the company. It also allows for "bozos" per OP language to propel up the ladder and espouse their ideas without any pragmatic experience or understanding to really solve the problems. People who present well and can play the political game but can't translate to execution.

The worst people for that are the finance people who are sometimes good at numbers, models, they think they understand everything (I.e. MBAs) and somehow accrue power. Once you company has a lot of those at the top level of leadership you are about to enter builder hell.

Say at some point there wasn't a proper title transfer. Maybe a relative gave it to you or loaned it indefinitely to you and no one thought about the title and the relative passed away. Or some other informal joint ownership. People's names change. Edge cases? Sure. But there are a lot of them and the manufacturer has every incentive to just go "Here's the rules. No exceptions."
I don't mind this. Driving is by far the most dangerous thing I do, and reducing drunk driving and/or high-speed chases with a remote kill-switch is more likely to impact me than any of the possible downsides (I've had my car stolen and also have been hit by drunk drivers in the past).

Could this be used against me? sure. Would it be worse than a tire blow-out? probably not.

People worry about government overreach, but in a scenario where the government would use this against me I'd already be screwed beyond recourse.
I though this was common knowledge? This is why I prefer “mutts” myself.
> "Further establishing a welcoming and diverse work environment encouraging synergy and collaboration by committing to a common set of strategic goals."

That certainly is buzzword soup. But I don't think its fully incoherent or bullshit. It essentially says:

Lets continue becoming more diverse. Because doing that will help us work together better and more. We will do this by all agreeing on what our goals are and agreeing that we will follow them.

The core concept is not that bullshitty. Though how exactly agreement on the goals leads to more diversity isn't quite clear. If the workshop were to be about figuring out if / how agreement on goals leads to more diversity in your specific company, then your buzzword soup happened to deliver an accidentally useful discussion.

A lot of counterpoints here, how about a half normal display, half e-ink? Left side of the monitor is LCD m, and the right side is e-ink. Might be a bit cramped for some use cases, might work for others. Or, how about a rollable, flexible OLED that can dynamically roll out and cover more and more of the e-ink display, so that you could roll out the OLED when needed, or tuck it in when you want full e-ink?

These kind of lego sets still exist, mostly under the "Lego Classic" brand. Also, many "yes we are making legos but can't use that name" companies exist which produce more of a playset instead of a model to assemble.

Some people want a specific breed for generally aesthetic reasons. And some breeds exist almost exclusively for aesthetics (vs working and sporting breeds). Sadly, some working breeds have degenerated to the point they can barely work - GSDs with short rear legs and hip problems come to mind.

Why doesn’t the SoC mention APUs but mentions Intel CULV? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_on_a_chip
This likely isn't relevant to you OP, but perhaps for someone else who is a little earlier in the process here.

I'm in my late 30's and my parents are in their early 60's (Dad will be retiring next year). Two years ago we decided move into a multi-generational home. We found a place big enough for our family of 5, in addition to an "in-law" apartment big enough for my parents.

This was born directly out of my parents' experience dealing with a very difficult aging/end of life process for my grandfather. We realized that the best approach would be to get well ahead of things (assuming a normal aging progression, we're a couple decades ahead of the issue).

Obviously this was hugely specific to our situation, and wouldn't be an option for the majority of families, but it has worked very well for us so far, and hopefully will simplify a lot of the future.

Just a handful of the specifics that have allowed this to work for us:

* Both my wife and I have a very good relationship with my parents (my wife and my mom especially are very close)

* I have a background in healthcare and don't have any concerns about participating in end-of-life care when the time comes (we certainly plan to bring in external help for day to day stuff)

* We have young kids and my mom especially relishes being able to spend time with them. Obviously we're not accounting it for it hourly or anything, but the general approach we're taking is "You're helping us take care of the kids now, and we'll help take care of you when the time comes"

* We live in Central New York, a place with pretty cheap real estate, so it was reasonable for us (on a single software developer's salary) to buy a big enough place (4 bedroom home on our side, in addition to their apartment). The home we found was pretty ideal, with two separate living spaces/kitchens/etc. The only common area that connects the two is the laundry room.

So yeah, pretty specific circumstances that allowed us to do this, but I'd be happy to chat with anyone considering a similar plan.
Lego can't survive on patents forever. They make money by:

- being a known brand,

- having a good reputation,

- superb quality of its parts and

- exclusive sets.

Lego became a toy company that explore Hollywood franchises fans. The possibility of assembling and disassembling anything is a smaller value-added today.

The image with the red circle? I think that's part of the car, a cap that covers a plug where you can wire up your trailer (for lights). It's showing where a thief could hide an AirTag.

Yeah location trackers have always been a thing, but the same way Apple made the desktop computer mainstream (back in the 80's) and then again with smartphones, their AirTag is making location tracking mainstream, so now everyone can be a stalker or a car thief ;-) . Is it their fault? IMO not really, but, a little bit?

This is one of my major Hacker News pet peeves.

I was on the weeding and got super tired once so I wanted to take nap. Couldn't really nap (I can't) but just relaxed body and tried to not think about anything for 20 minutes. I felt after that like after whole night good of sleep. Was very surprised that it worked.
I think this is the most.. humane approach. For everyone involved. From what I've read about the nightmares of old folks' homes, that way of handling elder care has been failing us for a long time (and only recently has come into view).

Multi-generational households really seem like the way to go. Everyone gets to play an age-appropriate role and (in an "ideal" family) everyone is taken care of.
