This is really cool and super interesting. Maybe someone who knows more about cars can answer: does using a single piece of metal make the car harder to repair in case of a collision? Does it make it more likely to consider the car “totaled” in case of a collision? Is that good or bad for Tesla and/or customers?
Yeah it’s starting to sound a lot like “this is the year of Linux on the desktop” to me. We’re always one year away.
Yes that does make sense.

Perhaps this is a slightly more useful analysis: https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2021/07/20/tokyo-olymp...

They look at peoples' opinion on specifically covid related policy, although they still don't address how this relates to opinion on health outcomes. At the same time I'm not sure if useful conclusions on vaccine policy can be drawn from these stats. Largely because the above numbers are from right before the Olympics, which would have politicized covid policy the same way it has been politicized in the US. However, while that politicization would have ended with the Olympics, the US is still stuck in the stupidity of politicizing a disease.

Perhaps a key difference between the two is that we in the US have a problem where political affiliation seemingly trumps everything. A vaccine must be rushed and risky if a republican is in charge or it must be an attempt to take away basic freedoms if a democrat is in charge etc.

Maybe if we didn't have that issue, the so-called individualists would actually act like individualists and look at all the evidence for the safety and efficacy of the vaccine.

Even if that is a true statement, using it to justify not taking security seriously adds risk into your business operations and shows a distinct lack of focus on potential impact to your customers. Knowingly slacking on security because of an attitude like this (IANAL) sure smells like negligence or fraud to me, which is exactly when it is not OK legally.
As a counterpoint, if I want to share a message or photo with many people on Signal right now, I have to create a large group and choose whom to invite and I think give it a name and have it persist unless I actively delete it. If I want them to be able to reply directly to me, they may have to do some gymnastics to copy and paste the photo in a private message to me or forward it to me.

Since those options doesn't easily exist, I use WhatsApp or Snap or IG to achieve that because I may still want to communicate a message to all my contacts and find the outlet that lets me do this.

So I hear you on the element of focus to maintain robustness, I just think it may always be a trade off between doing one thing very well and adding new things.

Also, while you may see location sharing as a basic feature, I see it as an advance feature and see stories as a basic feature. Which basic feature should they add or should they not add any new things?

Strong claim and no evidence.
That the fact-checking and vicious labeling of “misinformation” would lead to distrust seems so obvious to me that the cynical conspiracy-minded part of me thinks it’s possible that the people doing it have been aware of it since the beginning, and that this is actually their intention. Increases division in society and makes the people loyal to your side easier to control. “Never let a good crisis go to waste” type of situation.
I think people tend to use "monopoly" as a catch-all for anticompetitive practices. Apple is not a monopoly except in contrived ways, but they can still be behaving in an anticompetitive way and some of those behaviors may violate regulations.

U.S. antitrust has a lot of discretion and is pretty political but the core metric they lean on, for good or ill, is consumer prices. Can it be argued that the green bubble is increasing consumer prices?
I think a lot of QMK-enabled keyboards have this feature too, and can have the key combo that turns it on changed. I haven’t used it personally but I can definitely see it being useful in some circumstances.

I would be happy if no one could speed under my windows. Difference between 50 kmh and 30 kmh is equivalent to 50% noise reduction (~ -5 dB). And tyre noise becomes dominant just a little over 30 kmh (20 mph).

Oh, !g in DDG just sends you to the Google search results for that query.

They have more of those too, they’re pretty neat. For example: Typing “United States Capitol !w” will bring you directly to the Wikipedia results page for that search.
Sure. For the sake of not being dicks, I think Apple should ship iMessage for Android. But that’s different from Messages happily shoving everyone into MMS and giving up all the iMessage features Apple users want.

Of course I think YouTube should have allowed on Windows Phone, too. Corporations are often very dickish in their search for dominance.

edit: I think I misunderstood the scenario here. I thought you were saying it was not possible to add a non-iMessage recipient to a group chat. It sounds like that actually does work? (I’ve never actually done this.)

What you’re asking for it’s for Apple to violate privacy by reversing an Apple ID and revealing a phone number. Honestly that sounds pretty iffy to me.
I have been using duck go for what seems like 4 years now. I also just use the !g if the results are bad, but over the holidays I noticed more scar operations on there product searches. I’m not quite sure why, but when looking for gifts or just things I was interested in I was driven to knockoff sites or total scam pages with multiple urls leading to the same scam. I’ve since reported these, but I will say google still seems to be best at product search imo. This still will not drive me away from DDG, but wish they would do better screening. It is hard to recommend things like that to my less savvy friends and family.

few predictions on why this PR is an indication to Signal falling into the chasm:

1. The Signal team will soon realize that adding social messaging concepts to a private messaging app in a safe way is possible and more importantly is wanted by a big subset (early majority) of people.
2. The early adopters of Signal App will feel offended as they were looking for a strictly principled secret messaging app.
3. The target market of early majority will not see much difference in Signal and other options and they will stick to the app where their network is already at.

So far I've read barely one article that mentions web3 and manages to describe the fundamental concepts and problems. Instead, most people writing about this seem to assume that the "problems" web3 is supposed to fix are completely self-evident, and then everyone who is in favor of the current "vision" of web3 simply assume that blockchain is the correct technological answer.

It doesn't seem that hard to state relatively quickly and simply:

Current ways of handling data online generally result in large centralized databases under the control of relatively or extremely large corporations, which gives these corporations too much control over (a) what data is accessible (b) what can be done with the data (c) the lifetime of the data.

Sensible folks generally acknowledge that this either is a problem, or is likely to become one.

So the central issue is: how do we have data available online without it under the control of corporations that run centralized databases?

----

In response to this, cryptocurrency advocates point to blockchain technology and say, in essence, "look! there's an example of a technology that does exactly that"

However, for this to be the best solution to the problem requires a few things to be true that are either untrue or not known (yet) to be true.

* was blockchain designed to handle arbitrary data blobs, or was it designed to handle transaction records?

* does pretending that any arbitrary data blob can be treated as a transaction record help or hinder solutions?

* are there other ways to distribute data storage and access that don't depend on the fundamental technologies/concepts inherent in blockchains?

----

Why anyone feels they can be certain that the answers all indicate that blockchain is the obviously correct technology to use for distributed trusted data storage and access totally escapes me.

Oh, definitely. But like, those weren't thriving countries at the time right. In any hypothetical US revolt, things go south very fast. Schools are closed, roads are closed, hospitals are commandeered, power stations are commandeered. Core internet infrastructure is shut down. We're talking about 1st to 3rd world country in under 2 years.

So to me, that kind of means the terrorists win. China/Russia would like nothing more than for that to happen--it would be a self-inflicted wound of insane magnitude, with global consequences. I don't know that any political issue is so bad that it's worth solving at that cost. Maybe climate change, but the groups of people who are heavily armed and the groups of people who care about climate change are mostly separate.

So I still think 2A is an anachronism. I'm not sure even TJ would agree that refreshing the tree of liberty at the cost of the west makes any sense at all. The world has just become unrecognizable in the last 250 years.

I own a Tesla Model 3.

In the past I owned a GM vehicle which was damaged in a collision. The chassis had a few parts which were bent. The minute a chassis of any modern vehicle is bent in any way it is an automatic write-off in the insurance industry. This is exactly what I was told when my car was categorized as totaled.

It doesn't matter if the chassis is composed of many parts and can theoretically be repaired. It is such a huge undertaking to disassemble the vehicle to a level where you can repair the chassis that nobody in their right mind wants to deal with it or pay for it.
Confluence is a fantastic way to ensure that nobody ever finds your documentation. The WYSIWYG editor is so painfully slow, buggy, and laggy, it actually reduces the chance of anybody bothering to update documentation. When organizations change names, URLs change completely and you can sometimes never find a linked page again after it moves. Navigation in confluence is painfully slow, even though it's a bunch of static text. Embedding code snippets or images is an exercise in frustration.

It's a problem.
That’s my sense also. Google results for me are becoming increasingly irrelevant, especially since they stopped honouring double quotes. DDG usually works for me.
Consider something like Cold Turkey, the paid version (one-time fee) has an included scheduler if you can't trust yourself to turn it on when you'd need to. If you don't want to pay for it, the free version includes CLI operations, you can make your own scheduler script without too much trouble.

HN has an included time limiter in the options.. but nothing stops you from launching it in incognito so it's only useful as far as you have willpower.
I don’t think there was a way to fix it remotely. It would just do minor science missions with whichever instruments actually worked.

Wear and tear is expected. If you get in an accident, you have it repaired just like you would if you owned it. If you beat it to hell then you can expect an adjustment to the value, just as if you tried to sell your own car after treating it that way. As long as it doesn't have collision damage, tires that are bald to unsafe levels, or a trashed interior, the guy at the dealer you hand the keys to is unlikely to care (it's not like the dealer owns it). They're just going to ship it off to auction and the detailers will clean it up and resell it.

Same here - but maybe if doing Business then somebody might want to keep them (e.g. to keep track of whatever your customers told you in the past? Just a guess...).

(btw. I think it's not "loosing" if you don't mean something like "letting them free", but "losing". "losing" vs. "choosing", I kept mixing that up until recently... :P )

What I would like as a feature in Signal is "polls" (e.g. to choose with a few friends to which bar/restaurant to go, when to meet, whatever).

But now unluckily I'm back on Whatsapp as even after having abandoned it, within almost 2 years most of my friends refused to install Signal -> in the end, on 31.Dec.2021, I decided to admit that I failed, and I reinstalled Whatsapp :(
What exactly isn't clear? How cryptography works / benefits people? How applying cryptography to ledgers and ownership databases works? Or how it's all going to be enforced?

By the way I'm not pro crypto in that I'm not trying to convince people to put money into it. I think the energy costs of all crypto token systems are prohibitively high right now. That, and the deflation problem I personally think are the biggest unsolved problems in Bitcoin right now.. But somehow I can't even get past what a cryptographic ledger is and how it's beneficial on this forum, of all forums. Yikes.

I've been patiently explaining my understanding of the ideas behind crypto. 3Blue1Brown seems to be favorably received on this forum, so maybe this will help educate you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bBC-nXj3Ng4 NFTs are a natural extension of a cryptographic ledger as it's explained in that video. It's just adding non fungible tokens to the otherwise fungible bitcoin tokens being exchanged on the blockchain, and we'd like those non fungible tokens to represent real world objects, rather than just USD.

Aside: I feel like we're in the dark age of cryptocurrencies right now. People are just incredibly unimaginable. I imagine 7,000 years ago there was a guy named Bob who wanted to trade his apples for some oranges. A girl named Alice wanted some apples but didn't have any oranges so instead she offers a piece of gold jewelry. Most of the Bob's on this forum would tell her to ** off. But there was some Bob who accepted the gold jewelry realizing he could then exchange that jewelry for Tom's oranges. Suddenly we went from a barter society to one that uses a currency.

Eventually we stopped using gold as a currency and started using slips of paper with lots of fancy counterfeit protection mechanisms like blue and red threads and fancy inks. Along comes cryptocurrency with mathematically provable counterfeit protection mechanisms, and no one sees the benefit. I just don't get it.
However, vaccine mandates increase tribalism.

The UK is not so different from the US culturally. If the UK could do it without vaccine mandates (with the exception of medical professionals but that's understandable) why not the US?

I am even more surprised about Germany and Austria? They are not exactly and anarchist hotbeds. They could have convinced population about vaccine effectiveness and safety without any mandates. It appears that they dropped the ball when getting proper information to the people and misinformation reached people instead.

Timing is central to Moxie’s argument - the market demanded something the protocol didn’t offer, so intermediaries filled the gap (and made bank). Once ETH2 is ready to fulfill these needs, the market will expect something more.

From my reading, Moxie isn’t saying “ETH isn’t ready”, he’s saying “platforms move faster when they don’t have to wait for the protocol to make upgrades”
You're right that utility and opportunity cost of that lost utility matters.

My personal utility for an EV is largely negative in the short term though. Too bleeding edge, higher risk that technology shifts such that current models devalue quickly, fewer charging stations than gas stations. Current range is sufficient at purchase, but how does range change as vehicle ages?

A lot of those things will be much improved over the coming years. I don't gain anything from converting in the short term other than the aspirational/goodwill parts

No. Please see the many other responses I gave to other comments. It does not work because the viewer request is the request the viewer views. If you change the URL of the viewer request, CloudFront sends a 301 accordingly. In other words, changing /api/blah to /blah in the "Viewer Request" part results in CloudFront injecting a `301 location: /blah` and the client doesn't hit your backend because they got redirected. The client instead hits your frontend as a result of your URL rewrite. There is a very clear difference between viewer and origin. If you could rewrite origin requests at the viewer level there would not be any difference between the two. This is the difference. Viewer is what the client sees. Origin is what the backend sees.
