Using 2FA with LastPass (Google Authenticator) makes me feel a lot better about the security. Even if my password were compromised, it would still be hard for an attacker to get access to my LastPass account.

Note that 2FA with SMS is much less safe than a code generator app, since it is much easier for someone to get access to your phone number than to get access to the code generator.
"Loyal" means something different than they simply like their car? Why is it painted as somehow disqualifying?
Pascal's records are basically like C's structs: you can use them to make a database (and many did) but there isn't any real support from the language, though some implementations may have had their own extensions since the original Wirth Pascal had no support for files at all and the standard had some very limited support.
Just wait until the phones are automatically giving people cartoon character eyes...

They don’t say, but presumably it’s an average at each X coordinate, and those scores have enough posts that the average converges nicely. As scores go up, each score doesn’t have as many posts and we don’t see the averages converging.
I see Tesla as more of a lighter under the incumbents' collective ass than a car manufacturer, but nevertheless I think I'll eventually get one, because they're still ahead of the competition and I don't actually need a daily driver anymore.

I swear this was a background element in one of the new Star Trek's. Failing to find a clip. At the time, I thought it was a waste of special effects, only to later discover it was a real product.
This is always the excuse for upper crust liberals to sneer down at working class culture.

Always. It's always how everyone is in danger. Against mtf in female sports? You're causing violence to trans people. Use a gas powered blower to blow the leaves from the 400 trees on your property? You're killing the planet and everyone on it. Vote republican? You want fascism and the fall of democracy. Everything is always exaggerated to excuse a total lack of civility and then the lack of civility makes solving the problem impossible.

bc no one can be the bigger person, the culture divide grows bigger and problems become harder to solve bc the solution requires consensus in our democracy.

I recall reading a lot of fantastic essays on the “reality” of photos when I studied photography at A Level. I’ll have to see if I can dig stuff up, but I recall there being a lot of controversy surrounding posing of bodies in early war photography.
It may be a big non-issue for you, but having to deploy mobile technicians to a significant percentage of their customers' driveways sounds like a very real issue for Tesla.
Having it as a single parameter precludes the mistake of passing unrelated values, though.
Perhaps study the history of the 10 hours laws in England like 100 years ago? Documented points where the factory knew of the dangers and did nothing, fought to do nothing, cause the worker was replaceable. And nearly endless supply of Irish to literally work themselves to death. It's depressing.

I have zero sympathy for Capital when they have to sacrifice Profit for Ethical/Moral treatment of Labour.

This is really awesome.

I lived for ~5 months out on east long island NY (Riverhead area) and the tick situation out there is horrible. The majority of people who live out there year round have suffered from some tick-born illness.

Several of my co-workers got ticks and had to go on course of broadband antibiotics. Daily tick checks for myself and my kids was standard practice.

Otherwise, east long island is beautiful.

Are you talking about the 53 Allina employees (out of 27,000) who were fired?

https://bringmethenews.com/minnesota-news/allina-says-it-par...

The 0.2%? That's what you think did it?

And the National Guard - is this what you're referring to?

> The Minnesota National Guard will deploy 400 members to reinforce nursing staffs at long-term care facilities

https://www.militarytimes.com/news/your-military/2021/11/22/...

They were deployeed to long-term care. Not ICU.

If you want to make the argument that it was losing staff to vaccine mandates that resulted in hospitals being overwhelmed, I think you have a big hill to climb to make a credible argument.
I'm not on GCP but the one I would like to try is Spanner or Cloud Spanner.

I think more scalable systems will continue to gain market share. It will be interesting to see if PlanetScale, CockroachDb or some other actually becomes a big player.
For affected Model 3 owners, Tesla has pledged to install a new cable harness and guide protector free of charge.

Wiring harness flexing and chafing is a decades-old well-known problem with well-known solutions. I wonder what the people who designed that area are thinking now, when they were presumably trying to save costs?

If Teslas' issues were specific to being EVs or otherwise new functionality specific to its cars, that would seem more understandable; yet these appear to be low-hanging fruit. As the other comment here mentions, other manufacturers have many recalls too, and some of those do look like low-hanging fruit, so I wonder if this is just a norm for the industry as a whole. What I'm trying to say is, why haven't simple things like latches and harness flexing/chafing been solved and perfected by now?
How can we enable raw mode? I'll looked into the settings of Camera but I found only a way to disable the scent optimizer.
From what I hear, Tesla is notorious for repair delays. Even if it's not inconvenient to have a tech service your vehicle, presumably doing this nearly half a million times will make the repair backlog even longer.
If anything it's nostalgic. The old magazines were great since as far as I know there was little in the way of popular science writing that wasn't sensationalised headlines and bad writing.

Seriously, what's up with accusing someone of racism and then not pointing to any specific evidence and lumping Gregor Mendel, a friar whose seminal work was on peas, into the mix? What?
Good ol' Survivorship Bias.
That’s like saying all it takes to win the lottery is a few dollars to buy a ticket, then you get a hundred million dollars. You’re ignoring the true costs with appeals to a clear technical process, but that fails to capture the collective behavior that the proof of work systems like Ethereum exhibit.

In any case, dismissing my argument as “fake” and “emotional” shows that you are either engaging in bad faith or have a remedial grasp on argumentation. Please do better in the future.

I don't think cheap overseas labor will dry up for at least another 30-50 years. There is still all of Africa for factory owners to exploit and underpay. And most of Southeast Asia and parts of Central Asia.

Hah, that doesn't even begin to touch the moronic stuff that gets taught in b-schools.
I'm no expert on this, but from what I've seen, most NFTs are as simple as an incremented ID field mapped to your wallet address and stored in a smart contract. You (usually) don't buy any rights to the image in the first place, and what the ID represents is not guaranteed to persist by any part of the agreement. So, if the author kept the copyright to the images I suppose they could sell it and then prevent the NFT owner from displaying the image itself. Seems like a fast way to burn your reputation as an artist or developer.

I would guess that most popular projects license their images under creative commons, and encourage people to copy and share them, so that the original authors can't just overwrite them, since there would be lots of backups and a social consensus as to what each ID represents.
While trying to delete my lastpass account (which repeatedly comes up with an error, though may have actually deleted it, but now I'm no longer sure and can't verify), I've just discovered that, when trying to log in to Lastpass, it tells you if you have the username incorrect, not "either username or password" is incorrect; I thought standard security practice of the last decade was the latter :-/
Doesn't allow for export though, which is a complete pain for backup.
And - were there "consequences" for these people?
The was taken under zoom on a smartphone known to apply all kinds of "make thinks look nice AI magic".

Both of following scenarios is possible:

- Due to a combination of various post-processing steps including image stabilization the leaf replaced the head.

- The leaf is on a branch which is above the head and was pushed down by the wind hiding the face, due to the unusual angel of the branch that is non-obvious. And the artifacts around the "face" come form the image sharpening/stabilization magic not knowing what to do with that pixels.

- The leaf might also be falling and it's connection to the branch can be an optical illusion, that kind of leafs sometimes have a "mini branch part" attached to them when they fall.

I would say both is likely, and given that it was supposedly done under high zoom I wouldn't be sure if the human doing the photo can/does see it correctly, because our brain also does "magic" to make the things we see look "better" (like our brain actually fills in details from memory/eperience in some situations).
From my modest understanding of Plugs, they work like function calls, and in Phoenix you call them, so you can always follow the control-flow. As opposed to Rails’ where you write («magic») methods which you have to trust the framework will call at some point (IoC). I may be wrong, but that’s atleast what I meant.

To your second point:
On one hand the article serves as my own summary notes of what I’ve found desirable features (plus why), and maybe could serve as inspiration for a new language spec someday. Matz found it inspirational, at least: https://twitter.com/yukihiro_matz/status/1451548965019668489... The article links to many tremendous talks and writings, from various thought-leaders and pioneers, after all. I’ve just collated the principles and features I have become convinced are valuable.

On the other hand, since the context is language design, the purpose is to understand what features are generally considered good, so even a collection of favorite features or pet peeves can be a starting point for that, at least for shared discussion. The point is furthermore to find the good and avoid the bad, not gripe over all the peculiar cases of bad, of course. Many of the points also have a brief justification or further reference, that can also be helpful, and discussed (agreed to, or refuted).

I don’t have all the answers, and teasing out which points are actually conflicting, either from my oversight/inconsistency, or from fundamental mutual exclusivity, is part of the discussion. A discussion that would especially benefit any whom the dream may resonnate with. So I am grateful that you are pointing out any flaws or inconsistencies as you see them.
If I remember correctly that design had a fatal masculine flaw: “Women don’t care about mechanics so we’ll make the engine bay unopenable or hide the engine under an extra trunk”

They were right that most drivers don’t care about that and think of cars as tools, not hobbies. But framing it as a women’s thing was rough.

I think many modern cars are actually quite close to that prototype in spirit. Especially the electric versions.
What has that Teradata whitepaper got to do with Cloudflare?

Yeah - sound a warning, shake the steering wheel, and delete any record that self driving mode was engaged.
Is your implication that Ford, Toyota and Honda, by being longer in business and having much more experience, should be needing less recalls?
Sure, those are important, but they don't have enough scale yet to work for a large company.

Today, it's impossible for a company like Apple to take that tactic without building every piece of its logistics pipeline. It's why I applaud Apple's environment and sustainability initiatives. Arguably they are making a more significant impact than Fairphone due to scale. Still, on the other side, they're working within the existing exploitative systems, so only so much change can happen at once, and it's slow.

Taken together, Fairphone and Apple are closing the gap from both sides. And I respect that because even if it isn't enough, it's taking a position on the argument and further making changes toward the common good.
Stop buying all things Apple. That literally is the solution. Stop buying from them because their walled garden is an illusion as they do literally nothing to curate their app store. Stop buying from them because they're clearly OK with using sweatshop labor. Stop buying from them because they view their products as crudely made fashion accessories they can sell for a substantial markup no matter how awful they are.

Just. Stop. Buying. Apple.

Go buy a Pine Phone instead.
This comes off as a bit of a FUD piece to sell the idea of serverless, like what Microsoft did with their Linux TCO play in the 2000s.

When Google was just Larry and Sergey, they didn't need an additional SRE person to help them set up and maintain their linux servers - they had enough competence to do so themselves. For someone else, renting a managed Windows server with a support agreement would be exactly the right choice.

Likewise, the 1xSRE for managed and 4xSRE for unmanaged K8s isn't substantiated. In my experience, that can be anything from 0 dedicated people and up depending on needs and circumstances. I imagine things like GKE Autopilot (auto-updates) and Fargate for EKS (serverless K8s pods) make it even easier.

It would be more interesting to me to see how their offering compares to other serverless vendors in price and features.
Types are implied by the interface of the object.

Having a whole layer of abstractions and keywords built around class literally just adds complexity. Not to mention how obtusely "this" works in JS. The whole layering of special syntax around class just serves as a crutch for those coming from other languages.

Nowhere does it simplify anything really, aside from those who are already familiar with that abstraction. It's objectively simpler to have fewer abstractions, given that you can use object literals and regular functions to achieve the same results in similar amount of code. If class saved a lot of verbosity from alternative approaches, there may be a compelling argument for it. 99% of userland code does not need or use prototypes in modern JS

Typescript largely obviates need to do runtime type checking, except at API boundaries. But networked apis can't return classes by definition (not supported in JSON spec).

If I were to create shapes, I would interface the data and have a simple type field like "rectangle" "circle", etc. Or even simply duck typing it. Very easy and consistent way to check without having special prototype specific syntax of instanceof.

Using fields to imply the type is json compatible too, and works sent across the network. With Class you would need to have hooks at Json receipt point to instantiate the instances of the class. Class is a whole layer of unnecessary abstractions that don't even reduce verbosity.
It does look a bit odd, but not that odd. (Caveat: I'm on mobile and lazy so I've not read the post, just looked at the linked graph.)

The plot "points" are blobs rather than actual points, so there's likely some grouping of data going on, e.g. 0-9 votes, 10-19 votes, etc, per blob. Then it just seems that low scores are more tightly correlated with low copying, and the correlation dissipates as the score increases. That doesn't seem too surprising, I guess?
That's pure survivorship bias. Everyone else who encounters major problems with their Tesla gets rid of it, and therefore wouldn't choose to buy their Tesla again because they don't have it anymore.

People who do have one new enough not to have a major defect will overlook small issues with the build quality and other complaints that people have about Tesla, because they've bought into a luxury and lifestyle brand. When someone else dies in a Telsa fire or dies in an autopilot accident, they convince themself it was the operator "doing it wrong" instead of an inherently defective product. When story comes out about Tesla remotely disabling functionality on a car capriciously, there has to be "more to the story" instead of it being a shocking erosion of consumer rights.
Great, thanks. Will look into whether tis would work for me.
You (edit: I meant the original commenter) very much attacked the person ("you"). I'm sorry, but this was not a particularly borderline call. See https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor... for past similar examples.

If you (edit: I meant the original commenter) had just said it about the corporation, it would still not have been a high-quality HN comment, but I wouldn't have posted a moderation reply.
There is a big difference between color correction or exposure compensation and adding non existing objects by ML algorithm.
> None of this is about giving power back to individuals

Exactly, when people claimed web3 is about the individual and decentralization I knew 100% it is a power play being attempted by some stupid people who have no idea how the web works.
> vacuum channel is even better - 460GHz with existing technology

Interesting. How exactly does this compare? Does anyone know roughly what the switching speed of a finFET is in a leading CPU of today?

I always presumed it to be significantly faster than the cycle speed which is dependent on total propagation of the longest path. Since that path tends to include a series of many switches surely the individual switching speed is significantly faster...

[edit]

Found it, indirectly, lower in the parent's article link:

> In early testing, a vacuum-channel transistor was able to operate at 460GHz — on the order of 10 times faster than a conventional, silicon-based FET (and comparable to the speeds that a graphene transistor might operate at).

Although higher in the article they incorrectly suggest FETs are only capable of a few GHz (probably confusing CPU clock frequency for switching frequency)

along with other serious confusion:

> There’s no word on whether these vacuum-channel transistors will allow for the creation of small, modern audio amplifiers that sound like original tube amps — but maybe!
$10 well spent. Thanks for the recommendation!
Regular wheels can literally do that as well. Left wheels forward, right wheels reverse will spin a vehicle like a top.

Spherical wheels can do it more efficiently because they can do it with less slippage. But regular wheels can absolutely do that maneuver. Even tracks can. Heavy equipment does this all the time.
Or they just have different tastes then you do, which is a far cry from having 'no taste'. People consistently prefer and rate headphones with more bass as more appealing, for example. That's why consumer brands are bass-heavy. It matches the taste of the market. If you need a flat audio profile where the mids and highs and bass are all at the same level you have to pick up a pair of studio monitors.
As recently as last night, I was considering selling my DSLR and lenses since the quality of my phone camera is just so good, but this has changed my mind. There is something nice about it taking a shot verbatim and letting me decide how to postprocess the RAW.

Plus I'd only get a few hundred bucks for it, and the tactile pleasure of a big, heavy ka-chink when the shutter button is pressed is worth more than that for me :)
I mean, I doubt any car model is so bad that you’d expect defects in _all_ units. If all units were noticeably defective, they’d have gone bust under the repair load.
Newer iPhones can also shoot in raw.
Sure, but there is a major difference between color correction and, say, replacing a head with a leaf.

Historically cameras have merely altered the style of images. These days smartphone cameras are altering the content of images.
Notes about Loading Configuration
Idk about your specific case but I do know being logged in to another user can happen on buggy servers and has happened to others.

Servers have to keep track of which clients are logged into which users, usually via a session token. Memory corruption or a race condition can cause one token to be associated with another user.
I don't think it should be particularly surprising. Inglewood is 4% white. (Although that percentage is increasing as the city rapidly gentrifies)

For better or for worse people are predisposed to vote for elected officials that have the same ethnicity. I was somewhat surprised when I looked at the neighborhood by neighborhood results from the last California gubernatorial primary. You can use whether a precinct voted for Newsom, Villaraigosa, or Chiang as a pretty good proxy for that area's racial demographics.

Anyways, Butts is mostly known for being a grifter who gives 6 figure jobs to his mistresses and multimillion dollar contracts to his relatives. I think it's just regular corruption, I don't particularly buy the gang argument (although maybe that explains why he drove his SUV over an LAPD officer a few years ago)
Not copy paste but I definitely read all the solutions and incorporate the best one.
Thanks for your detailed and thoughtful response and kind offer. Clarification: I am a civilian, not a vet.

Nothing has changed here. I am still as suicidal and cynical as ever. While I am very likely to chicken out and not complete suicide at this time, it truly is my only remaining goal in life -- not specifically to die by suicide, but rather to be dead as soon as possible.

Thank you again for your very well-thought out reply w/ insightful comments.
USAF was originally primarily a bomber force, even as USAAF at the time.

They want to get rid of Warthog because it was a suicide plane from the day it was delivered, it's just that congress either pushes continued use of the inadequate plane and only allowed option at one point was to go with JSF, because it was the only plane in this weight class they were allowed to procure.

There were at least few attempts to build a better plane than A-10 for the specific use case where it's actually good (shooting at lightly armed forces) without much of the unnecessary price tag and maintenance, but all got shot down by bean counters.
