Is this at all an abnormal issue? I've had cable run failures myself in other cars. It's a pretty routine thing, I think. It rises to the level of a recall here only because the device on the other end of the wire is the backup camera.

It's amazing the amount of attention the simple fact of "TESLA!" can bring to the most mundane and normal issues. It's... an inspection recall. People will just schedule a service visit on their phones and the Tesla folks will show up and check it. Is this really worthy of (at current count, I believe) three front page stories on HN?
You're sharing the wrong story. This is about the corruption scandal of H.C. Strache. Of course Kurz was in the government with the extreme right party back then, but this was not the cause for his downfall. (Though it was reason for one of several times the government was dissolved recently)

Must be a sibling comment. Shoot.
No one wants to wear rain pants. The point is that it is a nice compromise. Amsterdam used to be a car focused city till the late 70s-- and now it is much nicer.
>In fact the rank best in class in pretty much ever safety rating in pretty much every country.

That's not true. No NCAP ratings have Tesla at the best as far as I can see. There's even a Chinese/Israeli company releasing their very first car ever that beats Tesla in EuroNCAP ratings? It's not even in top ten as far as I can see. Strangely it seem to get better ratings in all tests in the US compared to elsewhere. Of it is corruption or a car made to beat a test instead of for real life safety I don't know but something stinks.
I think he is concerned with corruption on the grander scale. But he knows the rules of the game and he's going to play optimally at his level.

Sounds a bit like Napoleon.
What exactly would you suggest it's a leading indicator of? Churn?

Ultimately if it matters, it should have to be an input to the cash flow time series -- mediated by churn -- no? (Article means to frame free cash flow as a series rather than a point-in-time value).

If you're interested in forecasting, as a company, you should know the things that mean your customer is not doing well within the specific context of your specific business. E.g. in software, you should have a customer health score that's built up from product data. Or you could ask simple questions that are easily interpreted, e.g. asking "how would you rate X's value for money," or "how satisfied are you with X," or even "have you recommended X in the last Y months." These things have a cleaner relationship to future business metrics and a tidier interpretation.
Well he's just been hired as global strategist for California-based Thiel Capital, so the future looks fantastic for him.
Why would this possibly be a thing? Slapping blockchain or nft on something does not necessarily make it better safer, more secure or unique.
Elsewhere you claimed not to hate Apple.
I also don't agree with this article.

To me, the author is a coward, and will "find" legitimate justification to work anywhere. It is not because you are too afraid or it is too difficult to work somewhere else, that it is good to work for whatever asshole company offer you a job. Otherwise, you can easily go to work for companies like NSO group that are responsible for the death of a lot of people.

So, it is a personal choice, and anyone can do what they want, but if so they have to accept that others will have legitimate issues with your choice.
I don't exactly want to be, because I haven't come to terms with it, and I'm still worried about it.
What are talking about. Why do they have no choice? Why would it be ‘stupid’ to leave?
There are multiple Y Combinator startups. Referring to something as "one, all-encompassing, in all legal situations, Y Combinator startup" is clearly not canonical. Does that mean there's no such thing as a Y Combinator startup?
it is. Spectacle is no longer supported.
> In the coming decades as the automation and ease-of-use of formal verification tools improves, I think C may well end up being the best choice for security-critical and correctness-critical systems programming. With current tools it is already ahead of Ada, C++, and Rust.

The problem is that in practice when people reach for C, they reach for stb_image.h, not formal verification packages that are expensive and used for approximately no software in mainstream use outside of fields like avionics. The economics of formal verification just don't work for mainstream software. Organizations are simply not willing to multiply their development costs by 10x or 100x.

That's pretty impressive. There is so much capital locked away due to unnecessarily arbitrary association concerns, this could attract a significant amount of it, and that's more useful than worrying about it.

Can anyone provide links or references to current techniques and methods for performing cryptanalysis against hash functions and prngs? I frequently find myself trapped in a loop thinking a long the lines of “they’re just bits there has to be a pattern”. Border line obsessing on these things, blake2b in particular.

I'm sure GUIs can provide keyboard navigation and such, but it's not clear to me that this was common. Unfortunately, I'm working from anecdotes, so I can't tell, certainly not this far in the future, what the relative average quality was.
I am using Apple Photos. It handles all that. I used to use Lightroom and that allowed me to organize photos in any way on file system and I had similar setup.

I really want to move to Linux but lack of a few key applications makes it hard for me.
> But somehow even that is not enough to convince them to treat workers as if they are human beings.

As has been said many times in this thread. It’s not Apple’s factory. Apple does have much higher standards than this, and has a program of enforcement. The problem is that inspections are often faked.
In Europe (Euro NCAP), crash test standards include tests against pedestrians and electronic assistance like ESP and emergency breaking, including against pedestrians. Standards are regularly updated to take new technologies, other road users, and potential loopholes into account.

Maybe it is different in the US, but most cars sold in the US are sold in Europe too.

Weight and visibility are still a problem, and electric cars and their big batteries make the weight problem worse, but it doesn't mean that crash test standards only cares about the car occupants, and handling is definitely considered.
Certified cra$h proof.
yes they have. what are you talking about?
> Thinking ambiguity can be removed if you only use common words is misguided.

Overall, based on all of the comments in this subthread, it seems that “facile” is most often meant simply mean “shallow”… don’t use a fancy word where a simple one will suffice.
Restructuring to what? Socialized, privatized, mixed-market, none of them have had the ability to handle this pandemic in a business as usual world.
Well you're sort of re-stating my point, except in terms of believability instead of interest/drama. In the scenario where he's faking the video, that part is the part that's fake and ruins the believability.
PostgresSQL isn’t SQL though. Vendor extensions have done all kinds of inelegant or even outright ill advised things from the beginning.
Correct. Just like a toilet.
I would sincerely hope so, but some of these guys are enfants terribles, of an order unto themselves. They can ruin your life just for fun. You going to tell a billionaire not to drive his boat, while underway? I think you’re going to port and then refusing to get back on the boat, at best.

Would the Roald theory not still apply in this case? The AI would drastically lower the in-house transaction costs by decreasing imperfect information by potentially orders of magnitude.
English is ambiguous; "a" also could just mean existence rather than singularity. It would be totally reasonable to say "there is a legal name; there are potentially other legal names as well".

I love those performance comparisons with 5-10 years old processors. Let's compare M1 with 80186 from 1982, then it will look even faster!

Here is comparison with the new mobile Intel processor that will be released next month:

I’m not sure who should get to decide the definition of a “normal” car. You? I don’t really agree that there is some universal, canonical “normal” size of a car. In many places I’ve lived, pick up trucks and SUVs vastly (10:1) outnumbered coupes and sedans. In these places, an F-250 is the median, normal size for a car. What is special about (for example) a two-door coupe that makes it “normal”?

Thank you.

How many of us think the anti-white narrative is extremely harmful?

I am white and I am a good person. I have done nothing wrong. Why should I feel negative?
Many of us have studiously ignored recruiters from Microsoft, Facebook, Google, Goldman-Sachs, ransom gangs, Oracle, and the like, and have commonly suffered lower compensation as a consequence. We jealously defend our right to disparage those who did not.

Yet, it remains true that most of us elsewhere are privileged in being in a position to turn them down; and that there are many not so privileged who might anyway need the credential of a stint there on their CV.

Several people I admire actually were hired into Oracle, and stayed there, and continue doing good Free Software work there. Oracle is big enough not to be able to salt every corner of every field they come into possession of.

So, I exercise care not to punch down. Everyone is struggling, and we generally discourage them from revealing the details.
Eurorack CPU
My vague understanding was that KVM-accelerated virtualization still let you use Virtio RNG, although I guess I don't know what the relative performance looks like at that point.
So should we expect a blake3 switch sometime in the future? It seems to be a refinement of blake2 to make it more amenable to optimization while keeping most (all?) its qualities. Being well suited for optimization across architectures would also make it ideal for the kernel and it seems the reference implementation has already done a lot of the heavy lifting.
> Without government intervention, slavery emerges

A closer examination of history shows that slavery tends to fail when in competition with free labor. The emergence of free labor destroyed slavery the world over. The Civil War was the last gasp of slavery in the US attempting to protect itself from free labor. Slavery had already died out in the northern colonies due to it being uneconomic.

Free labor caused the collapse of the USSR. Free labor destroyed Nazi Europe.

> we don't culturally consider healthcare a "right"

Sure we do. >50% of health care in the US is provided by the government, and the rest is heavily controlled by the government. Emergency rooms are required to treat people who cannot pay for free.

The government has so thoroughly regulated, overseen, subsidized, distorted, etc., every aspect of health care, that in no way can it be described as free market.

Let's try something that is free market - the software business. Software in the US is completely unregulated. What's the result? Incredible progress, world leadership, and plenty of very high quality FREE software.

It's amazing, unpredicted, and unbelievable. But it's true.

No, they aren't. The post mentions the lack of prospects many of them have due to visa issues, as well as bias against their gender, age, or race.

I can't speak to whether he's been ostracized for rejecting the tenets of Bay Area progressivism but he has expressed extreme political stances that lead people of all kinds to question his character. For example Thiel has expressed his desire that the right of women to vote be revoked.

Disenfranchising adult women's right to vote on the basis of their gender is an attack on fundamental human rights.

No consequences. There was nothing I didn't know before.

EDIT: I first wanted to say that in any way there would be no consequences, but "there will be no consequences no matter what people write about me" is probably too strong of a statement for anyone to make.
Ask HN: Mapping Service Fuckups as a Service
The great storm of 12/21 in the Sierra Nevada range exposed (again) some nice map routing f'ups from Google/Apple (probably more). I recall article where a Google Maps engineer basically defended some of the routing f'ups and use of rural roads as a practical balance of something or other.

Living in California, you have http://roads.dot.ca.gov, and you have a shit ton of county websites with things shut down, local Sheriff and California Highway Patrol social media feeds giving a mix of X is closed from A-B and C is closed right now.

Formats, availability, lack of APIs are a thing. Is anyone trying to solve this? Where I spend most of my time, Apple and Google (despite many reaching out) were still routing people on a road that was seasonally closed .. barricaded in Sierra County, open to where they allow snowmobiles from Plumas County. But still closed.

Apple and Google have the money and should be able to solve this at least Mechanical Turk style.

You can show/hide terminal windows with a hotkey natively using iTerm2.

Under Preferences > Keys > Hotkey I've set the system-wide hotkey to option+space which means if I need a terminal, I can press those keys and have iTerm pop up over my active window.

Pressing them again hides the window and brings focus back to the previously active window which has been great for productivity.

It's not a little misleading - it's very misleading.

Reading "New Malware Uses", one can't come to any other reasonable conclusion that there exists new malware that, in fact, uses whatever else is in the title.

There's nothing even slightly suggesting that this is speculation. "New Malware Could Use" would be worlds different.

He's gonna be fine. Give it 10 years, and he might try to come back. After all, Berlusconi has had a kind of comeback into politics too, and that guy got much closer to actual jail (only avoided it because of his advanced age). Compared to Berlusconi, Kurz will be around forever.

But you can't prove ownership of the actual art, with an NFT.

You can only prove ownership of that specific crypto transaction, which might be just a fake NFT, or duplicate.

There is nothing about crypto that actually proves it was the "real" NFT, or real art.

You need something else to actually prove that you own the "real" piece of art or NFT.

> Not identifying creators

If you are unable to identify creators then you are unable to prove ownership, because that NFT could just be a fake one, or even a duplicate that the creator has issued many times without you knowing it.

With crypto alone, you'd only be able to prove that you own something that might just be a fake or duplicate, and anyone can make as many fakes or duplicates as they want, so that's not really proving ownership.
That's not necessarily true, I don't know the specifics of how it's implemented but it could just be used for select pixels from different frames in the shot?
There is one weird bug with MusicBrainz Picard I see every so often. When I try to add album art, sometimes it doesn’t apply to all the files. Sometimes it takes several tries to get every file to have the album art on my MP3 player. If anyone knows what could be going wrong and how to fix it, I would be grateful.
What I find weird is they are showing this as a concept car. The idea seems better suited for autonomous trolleys or personal mobility in places like shopping centers or airports.
I liked the article until the author started ranting about cis white males.

I think it's stupid to judge someone for working at Oracle or Facebook. It's cliquey and smacks of resentment. I'm also bothered by the moral certainty implied. I don't work for a "problematic employer" but I have no idea if my work is making the world better or worse and I suppose it's hard to tell.

Because it has never taken more than a small fraction of the immune-naive population getting coronavirus to have the severe cases overload the hospitals and Delta made that worse.

I believe the opposite of what the author is saying: it's an important part of the way our society functions to shame people who make personal choices at the expense of everyone else. We're hard-wired to care about social status, and it's one of the mechanisms that pushes us to cooperate.

Also, while I agree that someone on a work visa is effectively an indentured servant and I can't judge them for working at a company that does bad things, peoples' gender identification or the color of their skin does not absolve them of social responsibility. That part is just flamebaiting or self-indulgent (or both).

You can allocate memory in another process on Unix too: use ptrace to make the other process call malloc (use PTRACE_SETREGS to set PC to malloc and the first argument register to the number of bytes, then intercept the return).

GDB will use this if you tell it something like `p foo("bar")`, as it needs to allocate memory for that string somewhere.
