I think most of the ire towards NFTs and the greater cryptocurrency space in general is misattributed to the technology instead of the human behavior (specifically the audacious and immoral) that influences some of how it has been used. When people think about the cryptocurrency space, nobody actually cares about developers, they care about the scams and the insufferable cryptobros and their memes which dominate every headline and every large social space related cryptocurrencies.

The real headline most of these criticisms related to is probably closer to how deplorable people will act when they are capable of separating themselves from the costs and responsibilities of their actions.
I was not talking about better or worse, I was pointing out the flawed way to compare crypto mining energy usage with other industries.

>In which case... yeah, a person who's invested into video games is unquestionably doing something better for the environment than someone who's invested into NFTs on a proof-of-work chain, because the person playing video games has the ability to turn their console off when they stop playing.

The issue is energy consumption, not the moral feel goods of the gamer. It doesn't matter if you can turn off the gaming console if all the consoles as a whole consume more energy than mining.
I'd imagine the ZX Spectrum would be even more amenable to a browser-embedded emulation.
The Science of Visual Data Communication: What Works
Let me give you another perspective.

Some rich dude spends $300k on physical security. That hires 3 guys with guns that are at his side at all times. Suddenly, due to bad business decisions, rich dude has 500 people that want to see harm come to him. Those 3 guys are not going to cut it! He need to hire 300 guys (at least!) to protect him!

Arguments against energy usage are saying "You dont need to hire 300 guys! That is a waste!". Well, no, it is actually highly rational from the perspective of rich dude.

Energy is Security. How much is enough? When you can outspend your adversary.
I have never seen driving robot arm.

Ones I have seen were always mounted in place.

If this one can drive around as I understand -"omnidirectional mobile base"- with a box it is different game from my point of view.
What’s the risk for non-obese people? Not that obese people should be considered less healthy, just curious because much of America, outside of San Francisco, is obese.
From my experience, car drivers make a lot more mistakes, and break traffic laws more often, than pedestrians do.
> Going for this feature will replace the (obligatory) stops at the gym before going to work although you might still find yourself appreciating the authenticity of going to an actual fitness place with humans alongside you.

Ah yes, because the alternative to biking in place in a pod-car on your way to work is to bike in place in a gym. Not, say, to ride an actual bike to work and get your exercise in that way! (And have other humans alongside you to boot.)
You send a query string to a server with the hopes that the server will give you what you want. Isn't that the World Wide Web?

Proving "intent" is much harder than proving action. And, to me it seems bad for the law to enforce based on whether the server's authors "wanted" to provide a specific piece of information.
Microplastics in food and drink may be fueling a dramatic rise in bowel diseases
I drive a TRD Tacoma. Which is a bit lifted over a standard. I still get blinded by oncoming lights.

Most often it’s those super white LEDs even on cars noticeably lower than mine (ie: SUVs. ).

I put LED lamps in my truck because my headlights are missing a mount point (the bottom exterior bracket was shipped non functional) and the vibration had me going through a ton of head lamps as the filaments shook loose.

I noticed the following

1. I immediately was constantly flashed by others as if my brights were on and the only difference was the bulb color temp.

2. I adjusted my headlamps down to basically the legal (and my comfort) limit as I do a fair amount of driving on back/country roads with deer crossings. This cut down those flashing me about 75% but I still get it here and there.

I cannot find LED lamps in 5000 k color. They are all 6500 k. I’m are fairly sure moving back to a 5000k lamp color would fix the issue for most.
I think there were a few things that helped me long ago, and based on hiring and helping junior engineers with their career paths I think they still more or less work.

1) Silicon Valley volume of opportunities - lots of companies, lots of projects and a region that understands job churn, so no penalties for job hopping for the right reason. I have no clue how things work in 1 company towns.

2) Smaller companies working on challenging projects are desperate for people to grow into new roles. My first three jobs over 6 years all had engineering orgs with fewer than 100 people. Do your role well, and look for next steps as new projects come in. Actually review project proposals and design docs and provide feedback. If you don't know enough about the area to provide feedback, shift the material into #3 below.

3) Work at continuous learning. I did 5 to 10 hrs per week on growing my knowledge. Tech papers, coding side projects, in depth studies of the tools (s/w, infrastructure and h/w). In retrospect, this was sort of my version of 20% time by the pathological definition (I mentally budgeted this as for every hour above 40 I did for the company, I would do one hour for my career).

4) Learn the actual business. Who are the customers, what are they paying for, who is the competition.

5) Always interview the company to be sure there are people you want to learn from who are willing to help you grow. Of course what you will want to learn in two years may not match what you do when you take the job. If you get to the stage where you aren't learning from your coworkers anymore, look very hard at whether you should move on.

The modern coding interview is an interesting challenge. You'll get good at coding by writing more code in your day job or as side projects, and that will either show up in the interview, or you are one of the unfortunate "not a great coding interview" people. Practice can help - work with a friend doing fake interviews. Otherwise, some places will evaluate open source submissions to see if you have coding chops, which is of course the actual goal of this type of interview.

Finally, if you are desperate to get into a FAANG etc, but the interview path to s/w developer isn't working, think outside the box. SRE can be great both as a career and learning path, as can SQA. Also, you can check into acquisition news - if a company is buying Jane's Software Extravaganza, Inc, and Jane's is still hiring during the acquisition review period, see if there are roles that might work for you there.
This sounds like a substantial fraction of all Tesla cars in the world...
I would use AWS Parameter Store but I guess it fails the "open" part. But it's great for storing settings for different environments and then apps can simply pick them up.
That to me reads like a future where the right to be forgotten is finally restored.

Anyone can then claim fake news about anything that wasnt enumerated on their resume.
Burn it Down
> My money is on better work conditions being a better investment long term. It'd reduce turnover. Less time hiring/training new employees, and the employees you keep are happier, stick around longer, and become more efficient at their job through experience.

You might have noticed that most companies don't care about these things, because it doesn't matter much for them. For software engineers or equivalent, sure it matters a lot, but for unskilled workers that needs minimal training? Then it doesn't matter much, as even today we see that basically no company cares about their minimum wage workers conditions.
Then fight for digital purchases to be actual purchases, not renting until you lose that account.
At risk of being pedantic, Teslas' front facing cameras are located behind the windshield and would be obstructed by an open trunk just the same as a human driver's vision would be.
None of the recalls I pointed to were discussed here. Here is one example of searching for another manufacturer.[1] Three articles including a pair of duplicates. The other article is 12 years old. They seemingly combined to receive 2 upvotes and 0 comments. Meanwhile this article already has over 50 upvotes in an hour with 25+ comments. We can't pretend that this community treats all of these issues the same regardless of manufacturer.

Many people would not want to or can lift boxes all day, like people with back problems. The robot supervisor job could be appealing to more people. So it's not replacing but creating a different job which more people could work.
I never trusted or used LastPass and others of this type for this very reason. Powerful passwords created by a single central expert source? Sounds great, very secure, except for the little tiny detail of that source being broken wide open despite its claims of excellent security. It's impressive how many supposedly tech-oriented people on this very site and its comments I've frequently seen recommending such an obviously insecure way of keeping you private stuff protected. This not to mention the possibility of collusion with certain alphabet agencies.

It's like data management in general: If you don't uniquely, personally control it, you don't really control it.
What happens if you were to scroll the webpage or move the browser window? Do the blurred areas track?
That's true.

It's also true that people very, very commonly move to the suburbs once they have children, and it's not because those people are all morons.
> The fact that children easily spread it back to parents, etc. was (and still is) conveniently left out of the discussion

Left out of the discussion? This is basically the entire discussion when vaccinating school children is ever brought up. It's the only defensible position to take.
If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em. All your problems can be solved with a massive SUV. Now we just need them all to be winter-proof electric and recharged with nuclear power.

By the way, they are crazy comfortable - as a tall guy, I’m never squatting and folding my ass into a little Eurocar again.
Depends on where you live. It's not mainstream in the big tech cities. It's not mainstream on the American internet. "Racism" is also arguably not mainstream in most American cities, though there are plenty of accusations that certain areas are still indirectly or implicitly racist because it's a very subjective term.
As in motivated law enforcement would want to avoid a questionable warrant that could ruin all their other achievements related to the case? Certainly not in Germany, where the admissibility of evidence is not really a factor: if evidence is assumed to be true then it exists no matter the provenance, if you want to sue the obtaining party for the obtainment process that's a separate case.

And what about situations where the surveillance doesn't even result in a trial? If a suspicion is made up to gain e.g. intelligence over some personal opponent (or personal opponent of someone the eavesdropper swaps favors with) evidence disadmittance couldn't even be an issue at all. But the party requesting the warrant would find it comparatively easy to appease their conscience with "nothing I wrote in the warrant request was a lie". I believe that most people doing bad things don't really like to acknowledge that to themselves, and that many who might actually talk themselves into requesting a questionable warrant would rather not risk running out of "wiretap wildcards" they might later need for doing their actual job. Of course a system trying to cause self-regulation with a quota could still be designed in dysfunctional ways (e.g. if there were "leftover wildcards" at the end of a quarter, those would be powerful fuel for abuse), but with a bit of care those pitfalls should be avoidable.
Yes, I'd argue that "literacy" that doesn't allow one to use a spell-checker is a bullshit stat that should not be relevant to college admissions.

Because by that metric, the commenter I was responding to would be deemed "illiterate" and not worthy of being admitted to college (in spite of being able to express their thoughts more clearly than most).

Again, I have a PhD in mathematics, and have taught college-level math 2010-2017.

I have taught hundreds of students (if not thousands), and have seen many of them hindered by bullshit stats like that in mathematics.

Mathematics in particular is an incredibly diverse field; yet people with dyscalculia feel that they "can't do math" — even though so much math has nothing to do with numbers or calculation, and would be accessible to them (had we only been allowed to teach it).

As it stands, we are judging fish by their ability to climb trees.

Now, you are free to have your own opinion (knock yourself out), but please have some respect for my experience in the field, if nothing else. I'm speaking as an educator.

And the above is something that many, many educators are well aware of, but feel powerless to change.

If you have qualified objections (i.e. based on something more than you just thinking that way), I'm all ears.
They’re mocking the concept. That’s why there’s nothing interesting here. They think the idea is stupid.

“ Well, perhaps when this solution comes out, the government will have made sure that every square foot of tarmac is perfectly level everywhere in the world. Yes, I think that’s right. And anyway, in these clips previewing the car in a futuristic environment, you don’t ever see any bumps in the road, now do you?”
I am on my second therapist. The first was was a remote therapy based out of Israel. He was great and convinced me to quit my terrible job at the time and reorient my life. His therapy worked to an extent but I never could relay my deep insecurities to him. When I tried to explain deeper concepts to him it nver really registered. I just found myself wasting 120$ per session with no real payback. I continued with him on and off for 5 years before just giving up this year after my father passed away and I gained no comfort from talking to him about it.

A second remote but local(because of covid) therapist was assigned to me as part of this Wellbutrin trial. A total of 10 sessions are to be done with this trial. So far she has only told me what I already know: that I should keep trying little steps every day like increasing my exercise. She gives me little goals but I don't like the fact that since these sessions are 45 mins with no way to extend, there always seems to be a time crunch.

There are tons of therapists in my area with no way to evaluate the differences. This is an expensive proposition as it stands and so I don't know how I will find the perfect one without evaluating each and every different therapist in my area. :/
Those generally aren’t the places where the SUVs are being reversed.
Not Romanian, but you usually need to make an appointment at a barber (especially now that they can't/don't want to have too many people in their shop at once, due to COVID regulations). If you make the appointment online, then you can usually create an account to view/rebook/cancel it later, if necessary.
I disagree that those headlines are even nearly so newsworthy! This Tesla recall is only 20k less than all that they sold in 2020. Ford recalling 200k cars is only 5% of what they sold in that same year.

This is a relatively large proportion of all Tesla's on the road.
From memory Foxconn India assembly is done by all (predominantly?) women work force because they're easier to hire since most Indian manufacturers prefer men. I'm pretty sure I read this was a feminist move inspired by head operations mother or whatever feel good PR soundbite. Cynic in me now thinks maybe Foxconn feels it's easier to abuse rural Indian women after Winstron iphone riot that escalated to breaking shit last year.
Google pulls the December update for the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro
Exactly, but there is a cost to find out if "blockchain decentralization" is worth the cost.

Right now, proving ownership through decentralization costs more than one single entity doing it. But if decentralization systems proliferate, then we can see if the extra cost of decentralization is worth it.

In industries where this extra cost is not worth it, decentralization probably won't exist. In industries where one single authority has too much say and power, users will be willing to pay the cost of decentralization. Payments, in my opinion, is the best example since Mastercard and Visa have such a stronghold on how you can make or take payments online. In an industry like that, users will pay a premium.
> but rethinking the whole process instead yields a much bigger boost.

This is pretty underrated, IMO. There are some good examples of Robots being outdated by simpler processes: e.g. the new process for building Teslas is vastly simpler than having so many precisely calibrated giant robots joining different parts.
I am not trying to start a fight about the quality of Tesla's vehicles compared to other manufacturers. Maybe you are right and Teslas are recalled at a higher frequency. I don't know enough about it to have an opinion either way.

I am simply pointing out that a solitary voluntary recall, which is what this article is about, is barely newsworthy and is only being posted/upvoted because it is Tesla.
Foreign keys in general? I am not sure I understand what you mean...
What's the role of the government of India in this?
I will write a letter to santa asking to get this into sql. During 10 years in data warehouse I constantly wondered why SQL does not have something like that.

Reducing verboseness is nice, but the main perk is the correctness.

Oh.. if I got a cent every time I found a bug in colleagues sql, because of join accidentally multiplying/doubling rows... :-)
> And then we can focus on some of the bigger problems such as Global Warming

Funny how that got dropped from the spotlight, I didn’t even notice.
If there is a lot to complain about, why wouldn't you want to buy something else?
For tough to digest content, having a physical medium makes it much easier to comprehend for me. There's something about being able to write all over it that maybe helps.

I really hope e-readers get to the point as mentioned towards the end where it replicates paper more accurately. High DPI, proper size, easy to write on.
So you favored the most intolerant people (because they were regular) over the most free-speech ones?

The case where the community started already degraded and then evolved towards uncensored participants is also valid.
Those spaces exist but in general people with kids don't want to live there.
Mandatory safety feature not working not a safety issue? How do you work that one out?
While this might be a joke, the world has been ripe for a replacement for SQL… for the last 20 years.
There's a curiosly accurate psychological portrait of those people that I found in one book on a unrelated topic. Rephrased and reworded some parts to make it more acceptable on HN:

"Those who separated by vanity, tended to drift together by similarity of tastes and contempt for others, even though their idiosyncrasy of vanity led to quarrelling among themselves. Separateness became much intensified, thoughts developing in an undesirable way, becoming more and more of a shell, shutting out others. Animal passions were starved out by cold asceticism, instead of being changed into human emotions; sex-passion was destroyed instead of being transformed into love. As a result, they tended towards sexlessness. They formed communities, but those never lasted for long, as no one would listen to each other and everyone wanted to rule. Attempts to help them were met with outbursts of resentment, as they took those attempts as a plan to belittle them. Pride grew stronger, they became cold and calculating, without pity and remorse."
> I see this all the time but then if you want to buy a new Tesla you have to wait a year. And that is due to demand.

High demand doesn't mean the product is quality. Fyre festival sold thousands of tickets, even though it was fundamentally fraudulent. Video games are another perfect example: fans pre-order AAA titles that studios fail to deliver over and over and over again. Demand just means that people like the idea of it, not that the product actually delivers on its stated promises.
And some of us buy cars and keep them for over 10 years. Which isn't rare behavior.
Because the alternatives are worse. Bolt EV LG Chem battery recall, Taycan is woefully inadequate for the price point, Ford dealers are adding $10k-$30k “market adjustments” to Mach Es and $5k-$10k for F150 Lightning reservations (which is obnoxious), Teslas have the Supercharger network, frequent over the air updates, a robust battery warranty, strong resale market, etc.

My Model S frunk recall appointment with a mobile tech coming to the home to perform took less than three minutes in app to schedule.
Sanity for your coworkers who may have to touch your SQL.
Yep - that’s the first thing I noticed/get used to w/my Tesla Y: rear view mirror looking out back windshield is basically useless and camera is basically necessary while backing up.
The baseline hygiene in India isn't much higher than what was found. Apart from the worms everything is kinda routine. Flushless toilets are common everywhere. Crowded doms is also the norm for people living in chawls and slums in urban India. Handwashing using soap itself is practised by only 2/3rd of the population (and this is when majority don't use tissue paper/bidet). Similarly deodrant is unheard of. Open defecation is still practised in villages. Sadly I could go on and on

How do you 'leech' off of something intended to be used for the common good? That perspective just doesn't make sense.
That was my thinking, a major supplier / manufacturer recalling a year of (and 1/4 of all ever made) products is at least interesting. To OP's point though, it likely reached the front page so fast b/c it has Tesla in the name.
Not sure if this is just me missing your joke, but the SA article literally does make a gesture towards that:

“And the descriptions and importance of ant societies existing as colonies is a component of Wilson’s work that should have been critiqued.”
Thanks for clarifying, I was genuinely interested in what your view is. As others have pointed out, current vaccines seem to be somewhat effective against hospitalization and highly effective at preventing death by the Omicron variant. It's important to be aware that from a personal risk point of view it is better to get a booster now than wait for a booster with an adjusted, improved vaccine against Omicron, and I mistook you to suggest otherwise. AFAIK, it will take several months at least until adapted vaccines will be widely available.

I see the other problems you mention in the US, though. It's a shame, there should definitely be paid sick leave and quicktests everywhere.
The abstract contradicts the headline; what the authors are saying is that there is more than one name that the law gives status to. Gotta love law reviews (which, aren't peer reviewed, typically). At the end of the day, if you want to change your name on most official documents, you have to go through a process in a court that involves publication, notice, and hearing.
I would :(

> For all these offerings [GKE, EKS, AKS], there are no automatic version updates or auto-recovery and you still need to pay for the computing resources like CPU, memory, and ephemeral storage that your worker pods consume.

I don’t know about the others, but GKE certainly has automatic updates (for masters and nodes). There’s also auto-repair and a backup feature (is this “auto-recovery”?). GKE has also had autopilot for nearly a year, which bills based on Pod requests.
