That varies by state. Where I live, the financing institution with the lien keeps the title until it is paid off.

Kinda nice when you trade in a car you still owe a bit of money on, as you don't really need to bring anything with you other than the key and your drivers license; the dealer does all the work getting it cleared and transferred.
If someone encouraged you to drink poison, and you choose to drink poison of your own volition, meaning nobody forced you to drink it; only suggested that you do, despite knowing it was hazardous, you consumed it.

Who is responsible for drinking the poison?

I agree that we don't prepare high school kids for real life. We're too busy focusing on their feelings and building a generation of weak minded fools that will never be fully functional adults.

I also agree that we need government out of the edu loan business. It is a poison pill and just enriches the self-serving class that operates these schools.

The greatest mistake was allowing them to lobby and sell the American people the BS that a college degree is required to live a good life. There are endless examples of that not being the case.
In a former job, I was a sysadmin at a company that does process engineering for industrial plants, and sometimes the automation/SCADA people would turn to me for help. It was very exciting to me, because a) I got to leave the back office for a short while and actually engage with a customer and b) I got to see firsthand and learn (a little, at least) about industrial plants, which was fascinating.

I find history fascinating, and I have soft spot for retro/vintage technology, so I got to see and touch some interesting stuff. One customer was doing an upgrade in 2015(!!!) from Windows NT 4.0 to Windows XP (!!!). They could not go further, because they were dependent on some piece of hardware whose vendor had gone out of business, leaving behind device drivers that would not work on any Windows after XP.

For this kind of customer, I think, the prospect of an operating system where those device drivers would continue to work while also supporting more recent hardware would be very attractive.

Industrial installations apparently have lifetimes that are far longer than what even "enterprise" operating systems offer, and replacing that Windows NT 4.0 box with a Windows 7 box (let's not even think of anything more recent) is a huge challenge just from the technical perspective. But it gets a lot more hairy when things like certification and compliance to legal requirements come into play, where you cannot just upgrade a box from Windows XP to Windows 10, because then you lose your certification, and re-certifying the installation is a costly and (I assume) tedious procedure.

TL;DR: I believe there could be pretty lucrative market for ReactOS in industrial applications. It would require a fair amount of up-front capital to get going, but if you can provide support for large-scale industrial customer to keep their systems running for twenty or forty years, there has got to be a lot of money in it.
> I'm in EU so don't know how really things work over there, but I would assume Tesla would need a judicial order siding with the bank to be able to do this ?

If a car was used as collateral for a loan, then bank would need a judicial order. But common way to buy a new car is leasing, where the car is owned by the leasing company during the period of the contract. If the contract says that lease is terminated when payments are not done, then i do not see why would leasing company need judicial order, when it is legal owner of the car (unless there is a specific legislation related to such kind of leases).
Nah, oversight is even better than before.

I am describing banking without the issues of banks. No need to have a headache because my transaction from Iran to EU is lost somewhere in between without any traceability whatsoever, etc; no need to have a headache because the receiver didn't realize it'll cost them $100 to receive money internationally, etc; no need to think about the hardship of pulling my own money out of the bank while I'm not in my home country, etc...

Then there's smart contracts - show me a bank that supports it? Show me groups of banks (because not everyone has the same, right?) that support it among each other?

> all of these transactions

Again, that's your mistake. That most transactions happen off-chain doesn't mean all or the important ones do. And it also doesn't mean there aren't cross off-chain network transactions - e.g. VisaBTC to MCBTC needs a blockchain to happen in a trustless way. Trust is easy when it's Visa to MC but not so easy when it's EU to Iran banking system.

Could you clarify what you mean by "LGTM?" Just people saying, "looks good to me" and doing crappy reviews, or is there some LGTM "thing" out there that everybody will use? Or something else?
pleasure == productivity

ruby on rails is still awesome. But since you might have to work with react anyways...nextjs is a second.

On the mobile side - Flutter is unparalleled. No seriously - im a react guy. And Dart is weird. But Flutter is seriously the Ruby on Rails of the mobile world.
As somebody who's done a bunch of reviews on the platform you realize a bunch of things about development that we don't want to admit. When I review code for my own team (for my day job), there are many times where internal pressures on my time will make me prematurely stamp LGTM on one of my co-workers PRs that I trust. When I'm doing reviews on PullRequest I remove the "trust" marker in my review along with this strange thing called "economic compensation" where I'm paid to spend time working on it, rather than having somebody ding me for not completing some other task that needs to ship this week so I spend more time reviewing the details.

I think there are a few levels of code reviews that should be in place.

* Automated checks eslint/typescript as examples, you would be surprised at how many companies don't have this!

* Best practices -- react hooks, golang interfaces, calling conventions...

* Testing -- are the tests structure to test good and bad, are they brittle?
* Security -- Did you build the right IAM role in terraform, did somebody just checkin their GITHUB key (ok, that should be automated).

* Performance -- Is that Promise.all going to dispatch 1000 calls in parallel.

* Architecture and inter dependancies, there is a limit for a 3rd party here.

Now if you're the Lead/Architect on a project and at a minimum you can outsource the Best practices / Testing portion of the pull request to a 3rd party you now can focus on the architectural dependancies that are really what you care about.

As an architect you can easily provide reviewer notes to the person doing the review that you are interested in focusing on specific areas of improvement across your team. Giving you the coverage to focus on the high level issues and inter dependancies while not focusing on variable names or test coverage.

Your time is valuable, you should spend it on character development not on the punctuation.
I wish someone would use that data and actually price match amazon. I hate trying to buy non counterfeit items on the vendor site only to b find out that they are 20-30% more after after shipping. Usally I give up at that point out risk amazon counterfeit.

I'm talking about code where thee context is donain knowdledge and architecture.

Reviewing things like style, performance, security, framework best practices etc is pretty easy work and rarely the bottleneck in a team in my experience.

Basically: any kind of review where you could comment on a single file only, is easy. The important and difficult part of review is "Is this the right thing to do at all? Is it implemented using the right approach to begin with? Do we have other functionality that already does this? Does that other functionality use the same approach or is there good reason for this being different? Does this follow the business logic properly or are there any signs of misunderstanding the requirements? Are the requirements sensible?"

Session cookies i.e. allow you to login to a website.
Same.

I started making websites in 93, and to me, websites are about communication and sharing. They exist to facilitate communication. The current system of crazy dependencies and frameworks just doesn't do this; it values speed and ease over every other aspect of communicating. Imagine if TV developed in a way where they sat and tested how much they could speed up the show and be understood and made that the standard so shows could be 'watched' more quickly: That experience would SUCK.

Or cars that can go from 0 to 100 in .5 seconds but have no seat belts, no horns, no airbags, no turn signals...
I remember when I was 17 (in 1999) and printing off an HTML tutorial website as a giant stack of A4, so I could read it offline. Anyone remember hasLayout?

Now it all seems relatively simple to learn things, although picking what to learn is probably harder.
If I'm being pedantic saying that it was a reaction to Netscape releasing under a license that didn't jive with the FSF, then your initial comment was also pedantic :P
This is really really nice, I've actually been thinking about building something similar myself recently, thanks!!
The correlation, if it exists, is marginal and there's even some reason to suspect there's a slight negative correlation.

I have an aunt who's adamantly ant-vax. She goes on and on about how we should all be 'boosting our immune systems' to naturally protect us against the virus. The fact is there's no such thing as boosting a naturally healthy immune system. You can mitigate deficiencies to strengthen a compromised immune system, yes, but load up excessively on supplements and such and you can quickly end up suffering from toxicities to no measurable advantage. Nutrition is best left to being managed by doctors and nutritionists using the established health service mechanisms for that discipline (well, here in the UK anyway).

Nutrition may well play an important role for individuals based on their specific needs, but it's just not at all appropriate to push it as a mitigation at a population level. For the vast majority of people it's either a complete distraction or could even do more harm than good. People need specific guidance based on their health circumstances - if there even are any significant benefits at all which isn't even entirely clear.
I'd assume LAMP?
Thanks for this. My wife often doesn’t bring her phone on walks, but does bring her keys. That would make sense!
I think I recall reading something about the two projects cooperating in some form, although I am very fuzzy on the details. But it would create ... synergy! ;-) There is an obvious overlap in what both projects try to achieve, and it's not small.
> Sure, then we change the law again and/or sue Google.

Which generally seems to have an almost 10 year delay for every iteration since Google will appeal on every instance and do its best to slow down every curt issued request heading its way to the fullest amount possible. The result: Not happening in the next century or two.
Just curious about the flavor of code you were reviewing. Can you elaborate a bit on that? Specifically - any software integrations with hardware? E.g. maybe a distributed cloud service that talks to on-prem firmware or similar (think IoT, cisco/juniper network gear, etc).

There is a whole class of software that I can't imagine someone could come in blind to and offer any real value to necessitate the balance sheet exposure. But I'm very interested to hear if folks there have had to do this (yourself or others).
All of this fanciful stuff is just at the wrong layer.

> "making it possible for a device to infer missing video data based on context clues"

Great, can't wait for your video streaming app with AI inference

> reduce the bandwidth, data rates, and energy consumption required for transmitting data

OK, love to see your work on the compression standard that's going to be used in this codec you're designing, sounds great.

This all sounds great. Stick it in your application.

But it's nothing whatsoever to do with the network layer, which is going to continue to benefit from lower latency, lower overhead and higher bandwidth.
Since you mentioned React Native, I assume you're pointing towards mobile app development. The best stack combination for me has been webview + PWA + webassembly + toucaan to create an intrinsically designed universal mobile-web app. There's something really powerful about deploying just one application on three separate distribution platforms. And it's not even a monorepo anymore!
Cheaper in the long term to do both. :)
The other big thing at play here, is that car lenders get about 1/3 of the expected loan value if they repo the vehicle. Most of them don't want to do it unless they have to, it's usually far more profitable if the consumer continues making payments.

The court typically only gets involved if the lender has reason to believe you might do something malicious and can convince the court to execute an immediate right to seize the vehicle (quickly after default). A court can also order a person to return the vehicle, if they've managed to successfully evade the repossession action by hiding it. This is a good thing so long as it's reasonably balance (ie the consumer doesn't get their vehicle repo'd on day one of being late), so our court system isn't filled up with car loans.
> the problem is that people can’t deal with uncertainty, and fill in too many blanks in their minds with over-simplistic assumptions.

No, the problem is that this was communicated in imperfect ways to the public (as you said yourself), who then filled in the gaps themselves. Risk communication is complicated and the govt, the experts, and the media all failed the public here.
I'm not sure if they make the most sense for efficiency, but depending on what those data centers are used for, they may be required to be in the EU.
How do you know it is the "same people".

In my case it is actually the other way around. I had no problem with street view but would never list my number in the public phone book.

I selectively decide what to attribute to my name as long as I am able to. So that I for example decided that I am OK with the need to have an imprint on my website and my full name and address being tied to what I write there.

I understand that this isn't for everybody, but I decided that I was okay with attaching my name to my writing.

But I am not okay with random businesses being allowed to spam me via online generated profiles without me knowing or consenting.

I know there are a lot of things that still should be massively better in Germany. But knowing how easy it is to comply with the GDPR and relevant other regulations I actually like them.
For me, native macOS with AppKit (Cocoa) and Objective-C is still the best and most productive development environment.

No client/server division to worry about, all of the desktop environment's capabilities developed over decades, insane CPU and GPU power and memory bandwidth (now on Apple's industry-leading ARM chips). Obj-C gives seamless access to both C/C++ APIs and the best desktop GUI with incredibly powerful features like the Cocoa text system.
>Isn't GTK where the CSD (client side decoration) is being forced onto every app

No. GTK doesn't have any preference for decorations, you can use either one when writing GTK apps: https://docs.gtk.org/gtk4/method.Window.set_decorated.html

The app developer gets to choose what decorations they support. Some app developers will choose to only support a certain type of decorations; that's an intentional design decision made as part of the app. In the past, GNOME app developers have chosen to use CSD and XFCE developers didn't, but there seems to be a shift from them towards CSD too. I've also seen some XFCE users saying they like the CSD.
Until your data profile bites you and denies you to do something you actually care about. I'm sure any of us can think about a dozen of scenarios where this could happen to each of us.
A first step. Won’t be long before the car goes to the repossession lot itself.

You can think of lectures as showing the extremely conservative education industry not being able to reform itself since before the printing press.
You have exactly the same issue in Mac users, though. Yes, Apple has an app store and added confirmation prompts and certificate checks in executables for everyone else, but people still download random stuff and ignore all security warnings.
You're the one who, when trying to come up with examples of people who other people would think haven't made it, came up with electricians and garbage truck drivers.

What are you arguing here? That all people are equally comfortable and all jobs are equally good, and that implying that suffering is bad is demeaning to the people who suffer? It's like upside-down wokeness. While some people are arguing to put in wheelchair ramps, this is like instead insisting that implying that wheelchair users can't walk as well as everyone else is prejudiced.

You are quite correct regarding the big picture.

I live in the US, and all grocery stores I have been to have those reverse vending machines.

I also never bother to return my bottles and cans, because it's still a waste of my time. I put all bottles and cans in the recycling, along with anything else recyclable (on the backend, almost everything goes to a landfill anyway. But that's not my problem.)

Edit: for those asking, I have lived in multiple New England states, and bottle return machines have been common in all of them.

I believe Rails 7 value proposal ("The one man framework") is designed to lure in people with SPA fatigue. And hell, Rails and Ruby are still fun.
> But as I write, we need lots, not one or two.

And those connectors need to be pushed down into the subsystems. This is the problem. Whatever the language used, you've effectively described a shared library, and one that needs to be handled by external cooperating services (including data stores).

> For good reason, because the reverse case is fine.

It is not, as per my above comment. Consistency requires bi-directional participation between actors if done at a uniform language or interface level, and good luck getting MySQL or Postgres to push your semantics into their software.

For any HN users who are reading this and think "hey, writing everything in one language is totally fine!" please consider the first day you acquire a company / are looking to be acquired by another company that didn't use your language.

Thanks for this suggestion. We are not in a Family Sharing group, so I’ll look into whether this helps. I also might just move her AirTag to my account to track her keys, since if she’s misplaced her keys there’s a good chance she’s misplaced her phone as well.
Interesting point! What would you say the full realisation of RSS would look like?

Also, the weapons metaphor was mostly just responding in the frame of the original language about 'pushing back on big tech', 'shattered by big tech', etc. And I do agree with that framing: I think there is a tussle over the direction of the internet – tussle, battle, tug of war, whatever you want to call it – and I'm not sure it helps to avoid the martial metaphor out of distaste when you are in a battle.
I both understand the goal there, since indeed I can't meaningfully download it on mobile, but I would also point out many others will get the same vibes I noted above from it.

Which is probably just to say after being burned too many times by bad actors, folks will start to group good actors in the same lot for similar patterns, even if the intent and design is better.

You've made so many assumptions here that it's almost impossible to reason with your slanted and opinionated point of view.

The hospitals never became overloaded. Government run hospitals were mis-managed and appeared overloaded. The government ordered elective surgeries to be postponed, not the hospitals.
Children need to socialize with other children, it helps them learn how to be functioning individuals.
Telling people "your jobs have been taken away by the government, but here's a few hundred each week" forces people into situations they'd otherwise avoid.

I am VERY concerned about how the poor are affected by the lockdowns. The inflation the biden administration is causing under the guise of covid is hurting them the most. They'd be much better off in a free economy where there's plenty of market rate jobs and minimal to no inflation.

Things were going AMAZING from the start of 2017 until early 2020 when the democratic controlled house and democrat state governments starting forcing all of these lockdowns and moving the goalpost
