My limited experience and what I've heard on the internet: it's better not to let on that you are paying cash or outside financing as the dealers make money on the financing and will sometimes give a lower sales price due to that. Pull the cash out after the deal is agreed upon.
If I've learned anything in my career it is that no, ideas are not valuable. There are vastly more bad ideas than good ideas. What makes an idea valuable is validation. Papers aren't to present ideas: papers are to present ideas that have been validated. We proposed an idea, we went and ran some experiments or gathered data some other way, and we concluded the idea was valid (or not valid). The point of this discussion here is that ideas that require huge amounts of computer effort to validate are prone to bugs. The conclusions cannot be relied upon to be validated without having the software available so that it, too, can be validated.
In my 1984 (A1) Rabbit GTI the indicator that looks like a blue LED is a piece of blue plastic backlit with a white lamp. The A2 cars (including the 1989 Jetta) used the same setup.

There's a lot going on here to try and avoid the statement that introducing predators to a given area's biome changes the balance of things.

This is especially true when you prop up that predator's existence by feeding it (and not letting its population remain harmonious with available food supply/prey).
Whose emissions? Western emissions (yes, including carbon embodied in imported goods) are falling for a decade both in Europe and in the US [1], both per capita and total. Sure, there are six more billion people on the planet that can't afford cutting edge grids and loads of renewables and nuclear just yet, but that's a temporary issue, the efficiencies of scale will take care of that.

That "exponential growth" is mostly about taking people out of poverty. Not nearly enough people in the West realise just how dire the average level of wealth is on this planet, which means any "degrowth" rhetoric is just outright misanthropical, and what's worse self-defeating. We still need to produce loads of stuff, and it will be produced regardless of what "enlightened" Westerners imagine about acceptable quality of life, unless you want to literally bomb India or Bangladesh for burning fossils.

Besides, I just don't see why do you imagine some sort of fundamental cutoff existing and being roughly at where we are. Humanity managed to grow from several tens thousands of nomads to soon ten billion people, most probably stabilising somewhere close to that number; why the cutoff was not overshot earlier? If it increased over time, what stops it from increasing any further?

> And our new forests tend to be more monocrop than the woodlands of old.

This is a huge problem.

When "reforesting", all too often the effort is just planting rows of evenly spaced out pine trees. Pine needles are decidedly less edible than soft leaves, and the piles of needles on the ground don't exactly provide a good environment for smaller plants to grow and certainly aren't a good home for insects. People are essentially planting green deserts.

Clearly, we must augment these computational systems with a social mechanism by which experts on system rules can interpret their intent and make judgements when things go awry. To make it fair when there's a problem, we could even let each party have their own rule experts make their cases before an impartial third party rule expert!
Hmm not sure this is accurate.

> so you get Irish towns and Polish towns and Italian places

My italian ancestors settled where they did because (a) the polish wouldn't sell them the land they originally wanted near but not in the italian neighborhood, so they had to find an italian to sell them some and (b) they wanted to live somewhere that had italian grocery stores, and italian churches (this is very important 100 years ago) and other italian cultural points.

The vest is $800 all-in, perpetual forever. The mfr claims this is the price of other similar vests.

Or, $400 + subscription or until the mfr goes out of business, presumably soon.

It seems like a fair pricing model.

The vest requires the battery operated, internet connected (for enablement, not operation) component to work at all, so we can well assume that the rider will have ample opportunity to check the subscription status and not be surprised.

Leak Compares Alleged Flagship Intel Arc GPU Die Size to Nvidia Ampere
I've kind of done the same thing a month or so ago.

A few things happened: I no longer have the time to spend each day watching an hour or so of video content (most of my subscriptions are video), most of my subscriptions are usually uninteresting with the odd gold nugget buried in, I no longer care one iota about current events (if it's important I'll hear it from someone IRL) and my feed reader (Feeder if anyone's interested) updated to a new version, removed old releases from it's github and f-droid repo, a new release which breaks tons of features I was using and doesn't improve on anything whatsoever and just looks like a needless UI redesign.

That said, I love RSS and Atom. So much that I absolutely refuse to subscribe to anything any other way (well, I use ActivityPub for some social whatever). I'm beginning to realize though, I do not need a constant flow of information or content. I don't really think most of us do if we are being honest with ourselves.
I've had good luck with eARC without any intermittent issues. Of course, I'm only using it because my tv has two EDIDs, one that allows 4K video for my streaming box, and one that allows audio for my Blu-Ray player. So I have the streaming player connected directly to the TV and audio over eARC to the reciever instead of going through the reciever. I was pleasantly surprised that this works fine, but not surprised that it doesn't work for everyone.

Disagree with this. According to this article, birds aren't dying off because people choose the almighty dollar, they're dying because they smash into windows or are hunted by cats. The solution isn't to examine our relationship to abstractions versus reality, it's to put a screen on the window so the bird will notice it in time.

> using modern computing and communication technology, it would be possible to run a complex economy with calculations "in-kind".

No, it wouldn't. It's not a matter of the speed of the computing; it's a matter of the number of information channels available. The amount of information that would need to be processed to run a complex economy goes up exponentially with the size of the economy, but the number of information channels available only goes up linearly with the size of the economy. I think it was Hayek who first pointed this out more than a century ago.

The proper tool to "run" a complex economy is decentralized computing, otherwise known as a free market.

> Such an economy could avoid the instability of our current economy with its cyclical booms and busts.

The way to avoid cyclical booms and busts is for the government to stop messing with markets. The government should not be subsidizing some products and services and penalizing others. It should let the market work out what products and services are produced and consumed.

Even if we assume serious and dedicated security ops at these organizations, the attacker can specify the port to connect to. So any firewall would need to deeply inspect outbound traffic. And plenty of ETL jobs can mix in offsite data e.g. pulling from S3, or even from a hosted LDAP solution, so they wouldn’t prevent outbound traffic. The attacker could even use AWS IPs! As I said, a perfect storm.

A long time ago, a friend bought a kit for one of these:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purvis_Eureka

I spent a lot of time helping build it.

He got the "electric roof" version, which had this awful hodgepodge for pneumatic rams, high pressure air hoses and couplings, and a seriously underpowered hydraulic pump - with instructions to fill the system with auto transmission fluid.

It was _not_ a well designed and reliable system, and some of the failure modes left the roof/door clamped down. He kept a pocket knife in th4e glovebox so you could stab the hoses to release the hydraulic fluid and manually push the roof open.

It wasn't until it failed closed while he was taking his girlfriend to the high school formal/dance, then ruined her dress by getting red auto trans fluid on it that he bit the bullet and threw all the supplied parts away and replaced it all with electric liner actuators...
What about <$1 for exactly this printed and laminated at a library or stationery shop?

If that's not fulfilling 'nice', it's a pretty simple job for someone that can laser engrave, I wonder what Shapeways or similar would charge for a credit card sized sheet of something, engraved with the info for example.

As a reminder, "Premium Connectivity" package was originally included for with an unpublished end date for their vehicles, until it wasn't.

All of the remote controls you talk about being free are provided over cellular connections, in addition to nav, voice support, and telemetry being sent back to tesla.

as such, tesla is subject to the same economics as toyota, they have just decided to hide it in the price of the vehicles or on the backs of their investors. They pay AT&T to connect their vehicles to the internet.

Perhaps starlink will allow them to keep hiding the cost, perhaps not, especially if Tesla tries to turn the revenue knobs.

Professionalized is a good term.

> I see it as a positive thing that there are those who have specialized in it, and that it's a resource you can get.

That is a positive thing but historically we haven't needed to turn to professionals for that resource. It's been provided, gratis, by community leaders and elders for most of human history. I see reliance on professionals for this sort of thing as a major negative. I'd argue that it reduces a community's ability to produce that resource for itself. Like this:

> And unlike your friends circle, they're paid to be objective about it, to solve the problems rather than remain your friend.

If you rely on a therapist to be objective with you, you don't need your friends to be, and you don't need to be that friend to other people. You can just tell them, "go to therapy, it's really helped me!" and be done with it...

Maybe I'm taking something different away from your post above than what you actually meant.

I see people talking about therapy as a way of maintaining mental fitness, rather than treating mental illness, and that bothers me.

A bit of a rambling post, but I hope you catch my drift.
You resolve which method is called based on the type, yes. I don't see that as "magic" since it's fundamental language functionality that you rely on all the time - in Haskell typeclasses are the way you do polymorphism.

If you want to implement polymorphism at all you will have to do something that's more or less equivalent (e.g. an OO virtual function table is effectively the same thing as a typeclass instance - it's just that the language forces you to bundle the data members and the virtual function table together, whereas in Haskell they're decoupled and can be used separately). Or even function overloading requires a similar "the compiler chooses which one is actually called" concept. (Of course there are purist languages that insist on e.g. using different forms of + for different-sized integers, but they're very much a minority)
I'll grant you that but we already have something that represents ownership in the real world - contracts. I'm not clear what advantages NFTs bring to the table for non-digital assets.

> Moving to a cheaper city is a valid decision but it's a more complicated value choice as a person of color.

Its not just racial minorities that face this issue either. If you're gay, you might have a very limited selection of potential partners to meet in a minor city, and very few culturally gay places to go to. If you're trans, you'll probably be alone in a small town and almost certain victim of a hate crime.

A good perspective i like to use for regular straight white americans that don't experience much diversity is sports teams. If you like the cowboys, how much would you enjoy going to only sports bars in boston that play the Patriots games? Sure you can watch the cowboys at home, but none of your friends will want to watch with you, and if there is a cowboy v patriots game on TV, you might feel super comfortable wearing your team's jersey out in public.

Hey, I was wondering if there was a way to lower the minimum brightness of my M1pro built-in display. The minimum brightness at 1 notch is way too bright for working at night. I have to resort to apps like quickshade which just put a grey overlay on the display which kills contrast and colors.

I had found something on stackexchange to do this for previous gen macs, but was unable to replicate for current gen. This is something I would be willing to pay for. https://apple.stackexchange.com/a/179204

I figure with the HDR display there must be a way to control the actual backlight brightness.
