There are plenty of aftermarket mods and tuning that are perfectly road legal. And if for some reason you need to stray outside those, I figure you can afford to keep a dedicated track car around. "Personal responsibility" doesn't work when your lack of responsibility puts other people at risk.

Also, I'm pretty sure most people don't care one bit what that community wants. When I hear "aftermarket and performance tuning", I think of idiots street racing, overly aggressive drivers, and obnoxiously loud cars. (I don't care if it's a straightpiped Civic or a freaking LFA, it's still obnoxious for everyone not driving the car.) Not exactly what most people want on public roads.
The bar example is a still a bit vexing to me, because it's the sort of problem/solution I often see brought up as an example, but I still fail to see the utility. A digital signature (e.g. PGP) already can act as a certificate of authenticity from a trusted party and all you need is their public key. Could you explain what the blockchain improves about that, or what it solves in that application that digital signatures don't already?
I didn't read much this year, but Norm Macdonald's death was a bit much for me, so I picked up a copy of his book 'Based On A True Story.' It's not for everyone but if you were a fan, a great read.
> I don't really understand the desire for having that network be internet-accessible.

Some devices are more useful if they're internet accessible:

- Thermostat: can start the AC/heating ahead of time if one comes back at irregular times, in order to come back to a house at the right temperature while saving energy away from home

- Security system: can arm it away from home if someone forgot to arm it, can disarm it remotely if coming back with heavy packages

- Security cameras: can monitor them remotely if needed

- Garage door: can close it remotely if forgotten, can open it remotely so that it's fully open by the time one arrives at the door, can also integrate with Amazon delivery so that they can leave packages in the garage instead of on the porch

- Lights and other devices: no more wondering "did I turn off the lights?"

- Washer/dryer: I don't have one of those, but it would be nice to get phone notifications that the laundry is done and be able to check remotely how much time is left on the current cycle

I’ve been using the same OneNote notebook for over 15 years. Works online/offline with native clients on the desktop, web, and phone. Has never lost any of my notes and will sync back changes if I’m offline.
In 2020, I launched a book that did really well for a few days, including on this platform.

Despite extremely inconsistent marketing efforts, throughout 2021 residual sales netted me an average of over 500 dollars per month. It is wonderful that a project I worked on in college still fills my fridge every week by reaching new readers on its own momentum.

Soft buttons aren't terrible. F-keys are an example where the same button could mean different things in different contexts, but they're tactile. Or if you had a Ti-85 (or 86), it had soft f1-5 and was a lot more flexible than the Ti-82 which had hard function keys. You could get muscle memory of entering menus and using the f keys that would be presented. Of course, hopefully a car doesn't have quite so deep of a menu tree.

If buttons are too expensive and you want to reduce the count, if I press radio and then F1, that could be radio preset 1, and if I press fan and then F1, that turns the fan speed to 1 of 6 (which could be off, I don't really care), that would be fine, and then you don't need quite so many buttons. Otoh, if I'm paying $20k or more for a car, you can afford some buttons.

Early 30s, female, unvaccinated, no health issues. Self-isolated for 14 days. Symptoms came in waves. Mild sore throat, mild headache, extreme dizziness, cough, mild nausea, fatigue. Symptoms peaked after three days. Was not bedridden. Started getting better slowly after the fourth day. Cough took about 1.5 months to go away. Felt dizzy and headache when exerting self in cardiovascular exercise for about 2.5 months. Felt chest discomfort after insomnia and exercise for about 3 months.

No shortness of breath (this was monitored daily) or loss of smell/taste.
A desktop PC or laptop is vastly more useful as a production environment than a phone or tablet. The limiting factor is actually most often precisely the Web browser, which has become insanely heavy in terms of resource utilisation.

Cheap used / refurbed laptops may be had for the asking if you're lucky, or low price (<$50) with some research. They can be used or checked out at many libraries (public or community college) in the US or Europe.

Connectivity in general will cost far more than the device itself, though again, public-access WiFi is generally available.

Descriptions of where you are and what your present skillset(s) are would help.
As a bit of a recent convert to US makes from Japanese makes I think this should be clarified.

US makes (big 3, not Tesla) are just fine selling you parts. Not only are they fine with it they aren't marked up as insanely high as I remember with decades of Honda and Toyota ownership. In fact you can go to AC/Delco, Ford, or Mopar's website and just buy parts directly with lots of diagrams and cheap prices sent right to your home. If you go to the dealer parts dept desk its usually right behind the sales area and they share the same space for the most part. Displaying lots of fancy part upgrades and options you could be purchasing from their parts department.

Its a pretty different experience after 25 years of Japanese vehicles.
No, they use Android.

Professionally it is Android or Apple, data is exchanged through cloud or similar services.

My team in probably 90% use apple, but this does not change anything in terms of exchange which is completely independent on the device.

Did you have any problems writing your comment? HN is not apple, though. You probably also send emails or read web pages. No Apple there either.

"For Dummies" is a registered trademark (https://search.ipaustralia.gov.au/trademarks/search/view/626...). "for Babies" is not, at least I can't find one.

Honestly, I don't see how "for babies" could be trademarked since it's a literal phrase describing the product. "For Dummies" is not used literally.

That's not to say generic words / phrases cannot be trademarked. Just look at Apple. However, trademarks for a generic term must be very limited in scope initially. If the brand obtains substantial recognition, then a broader trademark may be granted. These broader trademarks are typically reserved for household names. Even Apple had trademark issues when they entered the music industry due to Apple Records.

As I stated before, the art is less important than the proof of ownership. The creator says, “This is the contract. There are only this many. All others are fake.” And for whatever reason I like the creator and want to own it. Just like a perfect print simply isn’t the real thing, I don’t want the saved image, I want the real NFT.

And again, you are fully allowed to disagree, I’m trying to explain the mentality of the NFT purchaser and it’s similarity to the physical art world.

That might feel correct because high income geographic areas tend to vote Democratic and low income geographic areas tend to vote Republican, but it's the opposite for individual voters[1][2]. High income voters skew Republican and low income voters skew Democratic.

> Nor is the “team of rivals” concept an innovation of the early 1860s, though Goodwin assures us it is.

What an odd critique: Lincoln did this great thing, but he didn't invent it, so who cares?

Beyond that being an odd critique, I've read that book twice and although Goodwin highly praises Lincoln's leadership style, I don't recall her assuring us that that was an "innovation" at all. Of course, like most book critics, this writer spent more time on snark than citations.

Back up and ask why do you share anything from any source?

If you have something to say, then, why don't you just say it yourself, instead of referencing someone else saying it?

3rd party, perhaps even recognized or respected, corroboration.

The other source somehow is more authoritative and meaningful than the same message directly from yourself. This idea matters and should be considered because X says it.

But if that source says both sensible and insensible things, espouses both virtuous and venal ideals, then the source has no value as source of authority or credeance.

Rig up a speak&spell to randomly spit out statements. Once in a while, it will say something truthful.

Now, so what? Why would you ever cite that speak&spell, no matter what it said, ever, on anything?

And that's just a random neutral source, not an opinionated one that says actively and intentionally harmful things some % of the time.

Even if the speak&spell says something you agree with and want to repeat, you still go try to find some other source who says the same thing, and unlike the speak&spell, has given anyone any reason to respect.

At the very very least, you acknowledge the weak argument and say "I know it's X saying this but..."
I'm going to assume your point is "Expansion of Medicaid/Medicare did not have as much of an impact as most think, and the results in my quote provide some evidence." Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Stage at diagnosis is not independent from healthcare coverage, so adjusting for it loses some information. If people can catch cancers at earlier stages because they gained access to affordable screening, that's a good thing attributable to the expansion.

If you'd like to make another point with the stage-adjusted rates, please state it and cite the source.

One start on this question is with another question: What advantage does Nakamoto consensus have over typical Practical Byzantine Fault Tolerance? It, surprisingly enough, scales better and is also open with permisionless participation. It's inefficient but a big part of that is because it's both open and seeks consensus with essentially no subjectivity.

The combination of these features: a distributed, open, permissionless, minimal subjectivity, practical double spend immunity, and malicious actor or sybil resistance log of transactions, are what make it as it is and difficult to improve upon without weakening one of those aspects. To answer your why questions would be to defend those properties.

My experience is people from oppressed corruption filled countries tend to be sympathetic of those properties and those from wealthy stable countries tend to think them not worth the cost. It probably can't be used as a global currency but can (in theory) be there for scenarios where trust and subjectivity tolerance are minimal.

> isn't this a ponzi scheme

I would say no, it's more like a speculative bubble and casino that breeds pump and dump schemes. If most participants are uninformed then it's a scam, if most are informed it's senseless gambling. There are some legit uses such as funding civil disobedience or hedging against serious inflation in countries with constrained access to dollars (this usecase is why it fails to be a ponzi scheme, you don't want value to increase, stability is preferred).

The prisoner's dilemma is a very insufficient model for the complexity of human life...

The iterated prisoner's dilemma is a little better. It's still just a toy model, of course. However, you might be interested to find that those who only screw everyone else over don't fair well in the iterated version.
Also: Someone else can generate an NFT with the same URL in it. Thus, it becomes an exercise to verify the NFT out of band. At that point, in a lot of situations, it's not the NFT that's certifying the ownership, it's the public announcement by the artist. There's maybe a little to be gained because from that point forward, any transfers may be verified but... In the end the root of trust remains the public, out-of-band announcement of the NFT.

It is also worth noting that, in a lot of cases, NFTs don't actually confer any sort of special rights or ownership over the art. Often, NFTs are really just signed links to a thing that was not actually sold to you, with the actual legal ownership of the art staying with the seller.
> Good christ that tired old chestnut needs to be retired

People so consistently ignore it or get it wrong that people have to bring it out time and again. For example:

> a decade later and DD fatalities still down more than 50%.

We're trying to distinguish between the effect of the law and the effect of hearing about the dangers.

If the law is still actively being publicized, presumably so are the dangers, so that doesn't work.

If nobody has heard a word about the law in ten years but people remember hearing about the law ten years ago then they also remember being warned about the dangers ten years ago. Maybe once people change their behavior it sticks.

If people don't remember things they heard ten years ago then they don't remember that the law exists either and it can't be deterring anything.

If you really want to do the experiment, repeal the law but keep publicizing the dangers and see if the rate goes back up.

The goal of Kagi is not to be a mass market product, but a premium search engine, offering best in class search product experience with top privacy guarantee (as the business model does not require fiddling with your data in bad ways). Search is arguably one of the most important activities we do every day both in personal and work setting. Unique Kagi features should be well worth the cost.

It is also an independent company, bootstrapped by the founder, without a ton of VC money to subsidize the cost. And at $10/mo per user it would be barely breaking even, if at all. So there are a lot of factors of play, and I completely understand why $10/mo may sound excessive given all the free alternatives out there. It is just one of the many uphill battles we are fighting ;)

Triage by prior behavior is effectively prioritizing by who got there first. I don't think that's optimal. When hospital resources become limited, I support prioritizing people who took bare minimum steps to prevent being in that situation.

Not to mention the associated dangers to staff that come along with the non-vaccinated population. My sister is an ICU nurse in a C19 ward, and has been threatened many times, screamed at countless times, by families of people with C19. They are all, as near as she can tell, of a certain tribe.

This was one of the aspects that has stuck with me. Where an indigenous leader visiting Europe comments on affairs of the French society. He says how can you (French) completely ignore the destitute sleeping on your city streets and call yourself a civilized society?

If I introspect, it’s clear that, at least in the cities, helping other humans has completely vanished. It’s literally every human for themselves. Community support has completely vanished.
