Because Ford goes bankrupt without the F-150 brand. They NEED to win the electric truck wars if they want to survive for another 50 years. If the only people driving the lightning are the sorts of people who can pay 500k for a truck, the damage to the Ford Truck brand would be immense.
I've the same fantasy, plus some extra features. The organization of the browser tabs is also important. Sometimes that's because a windows contains tabs all on an important topic. Other times it's because there's a hierarchical-ordering of the tabs. Either way, I'd like to save this information in addition to the tab/bookmark and (optionally) content.

alternatively, what would it take to roll your own/DIY private relay?

Singapore as well as Gibraltar are nearly 100% vaccinated, but are still seeing huge covid outbreaks.

The best option is early treatment by stocking up on one out of several early treatments that exist and locating a hospital that will give monoclonal antibodies in case your kid gets Delta. Learn more about early treatment options and the science around them here [1]

My guess was that it is a way of keeping the organization from failing the public support test (https://www.irs.gov/charities-non-profits/exempt-organizatio...), which generally requires that at least 1/3 of the organization's support comes from the general public, not from, eg, one individual donor. Failing the public support test would make the foundation a private foundation instead of a public charity, which would change a number of regulations and have a small (usually 2%) on investment income.

What's particularly odd is that, if they were they a private foundation, as Acton is a board member (who also appears to have sole power to determine board members), I think the loan itself would be a prohibited act of self-dealing.
I prefer a blinking cursor, otherwise I often find it hard to find the cursor on the screen.

Ford is putting strong pressure on the dealerships to not gouge on markups, without the resale provision scalpers would eat up all the inventory and pocket the difference instead.

Some dealership owners will hate this provision of course, because otherwise they could still sell near MSRP but only allocate to the themselves, family, friends, and employees who would then instantly scalp.
The point is that developers should charge for whatever they want, including commercial licenses.

> so many people were willing to sacrifice nearly two years of their quality-of-life

This always smacks of hyperbole. How much quality of life was sacrificed, really? It's not like we had to all go dig trenches or something. We just had to stop going to brunch.
What sort of long-term effects? Which harmful vaccine are you using as a reference?
It is a blatant violation of net neutrality, but somewhat paradoxically, actually benefits the consumer in my experience. Several friends of mine on T-Mobile have raved about how Netflix/Spotify/et al. don’t count towards their monthly data limit.

That said, iCloud private relay only applies to Safari, so T-Mobile blocking it probably doesn’t have much to do with their variable data caps.

>What does natural immunity mean with new variants and when it lasts from 90 days to six months?

I'm not sure what you're asking. Are you saying that antibodies last 90 days to 6 months? Firstly that's incorrect as antibodies seem to be detectable even after 8 months in the study I'm remembering, but more importantly your immune system is made up of many parts and antibodies are not the primary response to coronaviruses since the antibodies do fade rather quickly.

Instead the many other parts of our immune system are extremely long lived with other coronaviruses and there's no reason to expect they won't be extremely long lived with covid.

In fact the reason you see so many asymptomatic cases with covid is because of preexisting natural immunity to similar coronaviruses.

> If they incubate a new variant themselves are they willing to be held personally liable?

Are you suggesting if we had the tech (we don't) to trace down the exact host where a virus mutates into a recognizably different strain that host should be liable? I think you should really reflect on exactly that would mean and exactly how harmful that would be for society. You do realize every single person in the entire world will either die in the next couple of years or without a doubt be attacked by covid, right? That means you'd basically be putting up a lottery system to see who gets to lose for being "ground zero" for a new variant mutation. This would be completely pointless and would serve only to hurt people with zero chance of helping anyone.
In USA, unions mostly represent blue-collar workers who tend to elect low-quality union leaders. A union at Google could end up with better leaders than the company itself.
The crucial difference is that gaming is, at least theoretically, discouraging the user from it from an economical perspective, whereas for Bitcoin the more power you consume, the more positive your balance will get.

No matter how polluting, running around with a sports car will in some way counter most users' personal finance. But if using cars made free money, not only nearly everybody would be doing it, but there would be potentially no limit to "scaling up" the earnings, as long as one could cover the initial investment.

Sounds reasonable.

But wait. What happens if a Latino/Latina does this, since then it would be their language too? Is the claim that everyone pushing Latinx is non-Latin?

There are movements afoot in German and French to reduce (long term remove) gender from the language. This isn't just a phenomenon occuring at the conjunction of Spanish and the US.
> I forget how refresh rate worked on CRT's though - maybe those could higher than 60?

Yes, even the standard VGA 13h mode (320x200x8) is 70Hz and many CRTs could do 85Hz. By Quake 3's time CRTs that could do 120Hz and above were very common. Personally i have such a CRT as well as another that can do 160Hz.

Also FWIW the refresh rate is only part of the story - CRTs have practically instant "response time" so 120Hz on a CRT vs 120Hz on a LCD feels very different (in favor of the CRT). Supposedly OLED could be made to be close but personally i haven't seen such a case (and people who have both OLED and CRTs still say that CRTs are better there). I have a 165Hz LCD and doesn't hold a candle to the CRTs i have around in terms of motion feel.

Nowadays you can find small-ish CRTs for dirt cheap on Facebook Marketplace, etc (some even give them for free) - i recommend trying to find one that can do 120Hz if for no other reason than to experience the liquid butter smoothness of FPS motion (and join us in the lamenting its loss in modern monitor tech :-P). Also kinda amusing that when those were new chances are the PCs they were used with couldn't do high framerates (and low framerates do not feel as bad on a CRT as on an LCD, but i'm not sure if it is related).
More like saying, the Ninja 200xcr is a minor update of the Ninja 199xcr, which has been around since 2003 and shown to be safe when properly operated. So, Ninja 200xrc is almost certainly safe too.
It COULD have been "get your 2 shots and everything goes back to normal", but vaccine adoption stalled at about 60%. That's not nearly high enough.

The virus stuck around and we got Delta, and now Omicron.

And we're STILL at less than 70% vaccinated. I don't know what's required for herd immunity, but it doesn't take a Ph.D in virology to know that 70% isn't it.
That doesn’t mean it’s wrong.
Oh wow, I read the post and thought congrats Moxie, job indeed done. We are still not there, so a lot of empathy for the feelings behind that :)

... Except if it is donations and esp. Brian Acton's, or even say Firefox with most of their money being one Google or Bing search bar deal... the sustainable business isn't there yet. A replacement CEO can be good just for that. Marlin as a CEO found amazing product/user fit, and as a tech leader, hired enough and built enough for a great dev culture. But there is no sustainable product/customer fit yet, esp if they view the user as not the established product: the market isn't paying. A CEO focused on solving that would be quite healthy for achieving sustainability! Hopefully Brian and his successor will have more room now to figure that out, it's not easy, esp given their privacy mission!

(And still congrats and a lot of respect to Moxie for building something people want & helps security, and growing a team to deliver it, and everyone else for pushing into the next phase!)
And Ford needs to file lawsuits and deal with all of that nonsense. They did the same thing with the GT, and the lawsuits outlasted the no-resale provisions.

The legal system is way too slow for something like this, Ford can't prove much in damages that result from this, and the cost of suing will wipe away more than anything they could claw back anyway.

This is a pointless endeavor.
I've basically just said that, e.g., instead of the identifier EmployeeTheNumberThatIdentifiesATupleInARelation, you should really be using the identifier EmployeePrimaryKey. That is, you usually refer to things using the name of the respective concept, not by describing what the thing's concept is every time you're trying to refer to the thing. It's called "coining a term". Or, in programming, abstraction (as per SICP, that is giving a name to some compound construct so as not to be forced to repeat it endlessly).

>the main thing is that we keep the political focus on race & gender

Divide et impera.

This is the biggest win of the 1% in the recent decades. Turning people against each other so they can't eat the rich.
I'm very skeptical of this thesis. Biden's mandate (I'm assuming this is what you're referring to) was not announced until September of last year, and there was already very significant vaccine refusal by that point. Up until that point, they had been doing exactly what you want, and vaccination had essentially stalled.
What you do is write notes (or use the meeting transcription) and after the meeting send the important points around in an email as minutes of the meeting.

That way you still have a written record to refer to.

Interesting - I had a nice high end 21" CRT at one point I got for free when some tech company went under and told the building maintenance to just trash all of the brand new equipment. Luckily my uncle was that maintenance guy and I got free pick of whatever parts I wanted before it went to the landfill.

I do remember being VERY good at the original counterstrike (pre v1.5) comparatively - I know CRT's have very low input lag - I wonder if I was playing at higher fps / hz and didnt even realize it!

From what I remember VGA could actually do some decent resolutions (SVGA and whatnot were more limited) and DVI was starting to rear its head around that time as well. I vaguely using a resolution like 1900 x 1200 which is about what a modern 1080P HD is doing (slightly higher in fact)

Now this is making me wonder how my plasma TV actually compares - from what I remember plasmas do not have a "hertz" so to say but also werent really coveted for gaming (although burn in may to be to blame for that). Input lag on it seems decent but I would guess might be its big limitation. Surprisingly it does do 10 bit video and while it wont accept an HDR signal I suspect the display itself is capable of showing more dynamic range than many of the cheaper "HDR" LCD's
It's a really hard position that we find ourselves in. In the beginning when we believed that there was a chance of containing Covid-19, many people I knew(myself included) thought that we would finish with this pandemic within a year. Due to a variety of reasons including poor over all handling of the pandemic by world governments, people refusing to wear masks or respect social distancing guidelines, or to get vaccines, that path was closed to us. We are now two years into this, and for people like me who are vaccinated and boosted... Who have spent the entire pandemic following guidelines, avoiding social gatherings, watching others flout the rules... Getting Omnicron and riding it out at home for supposed "super immunity" is looking pretty attractive. I'm exhausted from dealing with the pandemic, everyone is. My heart hurts for the people who can't get the vaccine and want to, but my sympathy is running low for folks who have simply refused. I experience shame when I catch myself thinking, "We can't let this run our lives forever!", knowing that it was the rallying cry of people early on in the pandemic who refused to cooperate with CDC recommendations.

I very rarely share personal anecdotes involving my family, but here goes:
I have been watching my mother care for my grandmother whom is in hospice care for about a year now. My grandmother was already sickly enough that they chose not to get her vaccinated when the vaccine came out. This in part because my grandmother has a bad enough grasp on reality at this point that she becomes confused when she leaves her house and my mother is trying to avoid her having a panic attack and possibly hurting herself or straining her already damaged heart. My grandmother is housebound and mostly bed bound, and my mother mostly works at home and takes care of her. In the beginning my mother wasn't letting people into the house to see grandma, but my mother thought that there would be time for the pandemic to pass for my grandmother to see her other family members before she passed. Now grandma's health is declining and there is a growing sense of urgency. My mother is distraught... Does she let grandma pass without seeing her family members again(Really more for the family members than grandma at this point, but maybe not in my mother's mind), or does she risk bringing covid into the house and ending grandma's life potentially a bit prematurely and frankly awfully? My mother is caught in the very non-enviable decision between quality of life and length of life... For her own mother. I know this is a decision that many families have to make for their loved ones, but in the midst of a global pandemic when so many have lost their lives it feels even sadder somehow.
As always. The most compelling use for crypto ends up being a less useful and significantly more expensive database.

We already do all of those things you listed just fine with databases. All NFTs would add are transaction fees and massive power wastage.
It also cuts down on the number of companies they can extort for transit. Right now they can go to Netflix and say "would be a shame if T-Mobile customers couldn't view movies during peak hours" and Netflix has to pay them for that not to happen. With all the traffic going through Apple, Apple is the only company they can extort this way. (Meanwhile, Apple or their "third-party provider" could of course play this game, but historically tech companies have been super uninterested in doing this.)

Basically, what everyone wants is for companies like T-Mobile to be a dumb pipe. They invested in spectrum and a network, and they should just lease that network for cost + profit margin. Instead, they want to milk it. They want you to pay more for particular packets. They want the rest of the Internet to pay more for particular packets. They want to inject their own ads into unaffiliated websites. They want to build a marketing profile based on what sites you visit, and send you "offers" based on this. Right now, that is all technically possible, so they'd be defrauding their shareholders if they didn't try. But, we can of course say "no" and route around the damage. Apple is letting their customers say "no", and that means T-Mobile is doomed to irrelevance, and that's a great thing. Infrastructure should be infrastructure.

(Can you imagine what it would be like if other utilities did this kind of shit? Your water would cost less if you were using it to run a Coke-branded soft drink dispenser, but not a Pepsi one. Or, Dell computers could get electricity at a 10% discount, but not Asus ones. It would be unthinkable! But with these big ISPs, it's mandatory.)
Just fyi a cough persisting for a few weeks after an initial infection is nothing new at all (COVID or otherwise). I have suffered a few weeks of persistent cough after a viral/bacterial respiratory infection pre-pandemic and unfortunately am suffering right now with an annoying cough. But it will go away in a couple of weeks.
Quantity of coffee is probably better determined by the weight of dry coffee that went into the beverage than by the volume of the resulting drink. Someone adds more water, someone prefers less, but they both may be on the same amount of coffee.

Everyone's body is indeed different. I switched to decaffeinated tea and coffee exactly a week ago. There wasn't any noticeable difference, maybe my sleep feels a bit different, but that is about it.

I already suspected that I am more attracted to the flavor of tea and coffee than to their actual caffeine content, because I could drink six cups of coffee one day, zero the next day, and feel no withdrawal.
Can you tell us more about the data that convinced you?
Stink bugs, gypsy moths, Japanese beetles... I get it. The wave of SLF hit Central PA right as my first grape vines were maturing.

But Tree of Heaven is also an invasive species, native to China like the SLF; it's their favorite host plant. The SLF invasion can be very "spotty". If I eliminate the stand of Tree of Heaven from my yard, the SLF will probably go elsewhere. I don't use pesticides or herbicides of any sort... just some copper fungicide for my fruit trees.
The time period of "long term" after vaccination literally doesn't exist yet
Even without that, it's a pretty easy traffic analysis for:

- Time T0: User requests the DNS record for example.com

- Time T0+10ms: DNS returns "example.com. 193 IN A 10.1.2.3"

- Time T0+20ms: User opens a connection to 10.1.2.3 port 443

Chances are pretty good they're looking at example.com, even if you can't examine a single packet.
Nice to seeing that "hang tight for 3 weeks, we'll know more then" is still effective after 2 years.
I'm sad to be unable to properly cite this memory of a radio documentary but they were talking about the HIV epidemic as significant numbers of people around the world started dying in 1980s.

China was quick to boast that they had no cases. None. The WHO liaisons pointed out how unlikely this was, and that they should immediately start testing their gay population. China said they only had two gay men, and neither tested positive.

Don't believe China. They are —for any way that matters— above laws and decency. They only say things to make China look good.
I follow more of this track as well...buy the highest end model and use it 2-3 times as long as you would a lower end model (but you're not paying 2-3 times the price).

My 2015 MBP made it to the end of 2021 for me - when the fans started to have to run constantly and even still caused thermal throttling - when I had 2 Thunderbolt external displays attached (thus running the discrete GPU). I think it was an OS bug introduced in Catalina or Big Sur.

I even tore down my hardware and re-applied thermal compound and clean dup the heatsinks...no joy.

Running "pmset -g thermlog" while using it sealed the deal for me. I was only getting a fraction of the CPU power when running on two displays (and this is when the ambient room temp was 68-70F). I had a day when my AC conked out for a day and the room temp jumped to 76-78F and it was unusable.

I am really enjoying my 16" 2021. Didn't realize how much of a slouch my 2015 had been by comparison.

That being said, I still rock a mid-2012 MBP for light tasks when I just need a laptop and not a desktop replacement laptop.
Off topic/meta:
I really really love this question, and appreciate so many good replies. <3 HN
Poor naming to have a function named like a predicate return a double. Should have been computer_fire_temperature() or something.
Pretty much. Unless your neighbour has enough generating capacity to power the entire section of the grid your connected too (which would blow every fuse in the supply unit, and melt every cable between them and nearest transformer).

Any power either you or your neighbour tired to put into the grid would be immediately consumed by all of your other neighbours (and of course your own appliances) that it would drag your AC waveform completely out of spec (I.e. it should be 230V AC, but your equipment can only supply enough juice to support 0.01V AC). So you’re inverter would shutdown due to lack of recognisable grid compliant waveform. Either that or catch fire from trying to drive thousands of amps (from 100 acre solar farm on your balcony) into your power socket, which would also catch fire, along with all the cable in the wall, well, you get the idea.

In short physics and simple supply and demand ensure that no home scale inverter would ever be able to maintain an even vaguely compliant AC waveform during a blackout.
There's a lot of people that like masks, staying home, a lot of people that like that others are being forced to do things ("political enemies"), etc. I think it's more than most suppose, and they are vocal, too.
