In the 1980s, with conventional motor oil, 3k mile changes made sense. It was cheap insurance. With engines made today and synthetic oil, 10k mile intervals are not unusual. The quick-lube places will still put 3k miles on their reminder sticker, because it's more business for them.

Also be sure they are actually using the correct synthetic oil for your car, and not conventional 10w40 that would be appropriate for a 1978 Chevy.
Whelp, there goes the neighborhood.

Honestly, why can't we just make products and services that do one thing and do it well. Leave "stories" to the social media applications.
> Prawo Jazdy" was a supposed Polish national who was listed by the Garda Síochána in a police criminal database as having committed more than 50 traffic violations in Ireland. A 2007 memorandum stated that an investigation revealed prawo jazdy to be Polish for 'driving licence', with the error arising due to officers mistaking the phrase, printed on Polish driving licences, to be a personal name while issuing traffic tickets.

Pretty fun.
I miss Signal "Android Tablet". Shouldn't be too hard for them as they already have the Desktop part.
Look at this close and unresolved PR from 2014.
https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Android/issues/614
Right now signal's infrastructure could figure out (if it stored data that everyone claims it doesn't) which IP address is sending messages to which IP address. If stories end up being implemented as a group conversation with all your contacts, everyone will be reasonably frequently sending a message to all their contacts, which changes the above into "which IPs are contacts of which IPs".
I dunno.

The marginal value to waiting another year is likely much higher today than it will be a few years from now. The newer tech is, the more value there is to waiting generally.

Of course, really just depends on your personality, and how cost constrained you are.

I specifically chose not to buy an EV because I know within 5 years the tech will be much better, and infrastructure won't be as much of a pain.
I don't think there's any meaningful difference in difficulty in finding the Minecraft folder in AppData to sync with Syncthing vs finding the option in the minecraft launcher to save to your Dropbox folder.
Healthy skepticism is fine, but if I’m skeptical of experts on anything novel, whose information am I supposed to trust? What is a better decision making process?

Don’t we have conflicting needs here? We don’t want scientists waiting for perfect information before providing guidance on a constantly evolving situation but then we are unhappy with the guidance they provide?
Matrix as an underlying technology is pretty good.

You should probably try writing something under a functional paradigm, emphasizing immutability and pure functions. You'll quickly see how that will help you reason about a large functional project.
> A lot of the things you're talking about are for general programming for which Fortran is not well suited.

The article is about teaching programming in general, not teaching it for computational needs:

> in any respects modern Fortran is an exceptionally good language to teach programming in

> Partially it is because modern Fortran is easy to read and comprehend, which is an important factor for the individual learning to program for the first time.

> The idea of introductory languages is not necessarily that they are suited to commercial endeavours, but rather that they are (i) easy to implement algorithm in, (ii) readable, and (iii) do not contain things that will confuse and bewilder.

You can also see his prior blog posts where again he is speaking about learning programming in general - not limited to computation.
This is the thing people don't get about search. Not only is it incredibly difficult to accurately predict what content will give people exactly what they want, but there is an entire class of bad actors dedicated to making the results worse.

I think we need to stop using search so much. Curated indexes of information are often better for finding what you need. They organize bodies of knowledge that enable us to do more than just play detective and scavenger hunt.

Take a library for example. To find out how to repair a stuck brake caliper, you don't go to the library and tell the librarian "stuck caliper fix". You say "Can I have a book on auto repair, or on repairing car brakes?" You get the book, and it's an index of organized knowledge. In that book you'll learn how to fix the stuck caliper, but also see what causes stuck calipers and how to prevent them - because it's not blog spam designed to fix one error, it's organized knowledge.

Wikipedia is a great curated index. It is literally a giant list of links, with paragraphs summarizing what you can find in different pieces of the links. (it's also an entire semantic database, but ignore that) If you suggested starting Wikipedia to people today, they'd probably say it was crazy and nobody would use it because of how difficult it would be and that the results wouldn't be useful or accurate. And in spite of all that being true, people today probably can barely imagine life without Wikipedia.

There are important considerations for the correct use of the elderberry that this article omits. The roots, unripe berries and seeds are poisonous.
Will check it out, looks interesting.
It took two weeks for my Apple ID email reset email to arrive. Since then I've learned to never use it for anything. I'm sorry for your loss.
Sounds about right. If your search engine traffic is measured on the numerator in the millions, but the denominator is not "per second", then your share of the search market is basically zero.
Sweden really does just turn into a "choose your own data" adventure. They have double their neighbours' excess deaths - you really can use them to demonstrate any point you like by picking which data tells the story you want to tell.

FORTRAN is the only programming languages that made me sick. I understand contemporary iterations are more human-friendly, but even COBOL is less ugly.
Having done the same three weeks ago: worked fine for me, but then, I did use my windows 10 dvd to install it, not whatever the latest .iso from microsoft is. Then I just ran through the standard "and now we wait for windows update to do its thing for the next few hours". Apparently only install images based on 21H2 won't give you the offline account option anymore.
Though if he's referring to "picking" the window's latch, then that wouldn't necessarily leave any evidence.
We put a black elder (black lace, IIRC) in a shady spot in our front yard in the UK, and it absolutely thrived. Had to treat it for aphids annually, as they would absolutely smother the new growth in Spring otherwise, but apart from that it was low maintenance and very vigorous.

The sprays of flowers were lovely and could be harvested for elderflower syrups and even wines. The berries were less reliable, I did harvest some and turn them to syrup one year, but the flavour was not that great (I added the syrup to a homebrew saison in the end, but wasn't a huge fan of the result).
Is Bitcoin Down or Just Me?
> Just to be clear, I don't draw my opinions about Bitcoin, or money for that matter, from crypto detractors.

You've misunderstood. Your opinions seem to come from your emotional reaction to seeing grift, then applied broadly to all new things which the grift may be associated. You saying its not true doesn't make it so, which also applies to your comment about my use of the term 'fiat currency,' which I used exactly as I intended in line with the definition of the term.

A ponzi with no mal-intent from its creators is irrelevant. If the code is open source and participants understand what they are doing (which they majorly do in much of the space), then it is not a ponzi, users are not being duped.

If you're referring to the creation of a totally useless token and speculation on it, then you're talking about something else. Lumping all of crypto into that bucket is a popular, flawed, obnoxious cope.

Yeah my MIL had a 2012 Dell that my son uses at her house. It was running Windows 7, and took about 10 minutes to boot and the same to shut down.

I put Pop_OS on it. It has Firefox and Minecraft which are the only two things he cares about, and it runs so much more quickly. She wanted to throw it out but now it’s less junk in the pile.

You have really met the essence of this issue. There's aspects of conforming that will be long lasting and change the way politicians wield the federal bureaucracy. It is immensely important to keep perspective on the long term. Consider the impact of forcing the skeptical out of the military and from almost all federal positions. That is what we have just accomplished. No not 'skeptics', but skeptical people who will challenge a directive. People who believe that, possibly, an order might be unlawful even if it comes from a superior.
This isn’t correct. Moxie hosts the image, OpenSea hosts the endpoint the wallet queries for ownership listing. The whole system is glorified CRUD, OpenSea always has full control.
That would be intriguing if true. Are there any investigative reporting videos that show the command-style tents, burner phones and such? Do we have any video footage of the rioters self proclaiming to be oath keepers? Was the author of the powerpoint charged? It would be an interesting story if someone like John Oliver or related youtuber put all the evidence from this together into one video report. It's been a year so I would expect someone would have put all of this together by now.

They can sell every car they make. Electric cars in general have pretty high delivery times, Tesla is better there though. Also, it is doubtful whether the initial cars from Texas and Grünheide will have the new battery, likely they start with 2170 cells.

Tesla constantly rolls out enhancements to their car lines, so there is rarely the best moment to buy, other than when you need a new car.
That is a massively misleading way to frame it. Hydro is well known as one of the cheapest sources of energy period. The problem being if you happen to have a river of energy. Bundling hydro (and natural gas!) into “renewables” to claim that all renewables lower grid prices (when most people take it to mean solar and wind are impractical) is misleading.
Thank you for doing this.

A slight variation of this is a very common model in New Delhi in India.

Builders contact Single family owners proactively to convert their residence into 4 units at 4 levels with a car parking at the 1st floor.

Builders:
1. Find an equivalent rental unit for the owner, relocate them and pay their rent for a year.
2. Finance and build the 4 floors.
3. Owners relocate back to one floor and rent out 2 floors.
4. 1 floor is taken by the builder as fee for the project.

Builder got paid, owner has a new home, and has lifelong rental income as well. All round win-win situation.

This is what happens when governments and local authorities get out of the way and let capitalism work.
I intentionally drop all messages from time to time (typically once I get a new device). Am I the only one who feels like loosing old conversations is just fine? After all, I don’t remember all conversations I had in person as well.

I understand that loosing them at an unexpected time can be annoying and a backup is useful, but I personally never had a use for that feature and knowing that it is annoying for someone to keep all my messages around forever is something I consider positive.
Looking at this thread it's not clear if any one of the 3 examples you provided (civil forfeiture, title fraud, need for title insurance) would benefit from crypto technology today, and it's not clear if they would ever benefit from it (3 thousand years from now is not a good argument).

I hope you realize how unconvincing all this sounds to a non-enthusiast. Without a killer application (like email for the internet) I'm afraid crypto isn't very useful, and it's been 13 years without a killer application.
To give you the daily dose of disillusion:

China didn't mandate vaccine, neither. (I know you have read many English articles from the legacy media, just wait...)

By HN? There's like 5 of us here. Must've been Reddit.
We rarely see this approach (and not just related to vaccines) because no power can be derived from it. Imagine what people at all levels and branches of government would be giving up if they let people just think for themselves
So still more expensive than gas, with unreliability to boot?
> The cast parts might even be stiffer and hence more difficult to damage.

Someone with more experience should step in and correct me but my understanding is that this is how we used to do things and stopped because it turns your passengers into soup. You need those parts to crumple. I'm sure Tesla has thought of that and wouldn't downgrade the structural safety but it does mean the new design is probably just as easy to damage but more expensive to replace than traditional designs.
> cars at end-of-life - it's about three-year-old cars.

That sounds so ridiculous to anyone living in the UK. The second hand market here dwarfs all other routes to obtaining your own vehicle. I've never bought a car less than 10 years old.
Thank you for the feedback -- I agree more context and explanation is needed for each of these tests.

In the Blob case: the test code is storing a unique string in a Blob URL under one website (first party), and then attempting to read back that string under a second, different website. (See "result, different first party".) If the string is accessible under a different first party, then it is possible to use a Blob URL to track a user between two different websites.

I'm not any kind of neurologist, but intuitively, the ways in which people seem to learn things varies so much from person to person, it seems highly likely to me that there is no universal format in which our brains store knowledge of facts and movement patterns. This bodes rather poorly for ever doing something like downloading knowledge to the brain Matrix style. Even assuming you had a way to "write" whatever neuron structure stored knowledge, you'd have to first carry out a super-detailed analysis to determine exactly how to encode that knowledge in each particular brain. And God only knows what'll happen if you get it wrong.

Probably something that the brain does very early in life, like around infancy, is to figure out for itself a way to store knowledge and learn how to store new things that it learns in that way. If each one makes it all up for itself, then it stands to reason that they're all different in unpredictable ways. The observed fact that people vary widely in overall intelligence, what they're good and bad at learning, and how they learn it, seems to follow naturally from that.
Admittedly it's been a few years but I have eaten quite a lot of chicken in my lifetime so I don't think it's a matter of me forgetting the experience of the real thing
Iirc it didn't really assume any arrangement, except maybe as an example. It calculated the physical requirements of different energy sources independently. The reader can start from there to get any particular combination.
> Confluence is terrible in all kinds of other ways.

I disagree, Confluence is used by tens of thousands of organizations and they don't have a very good Sales strategy, that means a lot of business choose them when they could have choose something else. So I can't buy that it is terrible everywhere.

Can we do better ? Hell yeah. But I agree with you that most of Confluence competitors are in the SMB space even though money is in large enterprise. (But that's why we are building Dokkument)

That's not wikis that are bad at evergreen notes, that's evergreen notes that are not suitable for sharing with teams. Athens or Roam research, or others works well for one person, but can't work for teams.

My hardware wasn't even selected for Linux compatibility. Also, I've done in-place upgrades on this PC for the last 6 years. I did skip some versions though.

As far as I can remember, nothing actually broke when doing upgrades ever.

I love Fedora's in-place system upgrade, and it just keeps getting better.

I really doubt that replacing one of these cast parts is feasible -- everything is attached to them, you'd have to take apart and rebuild almost the whole car.
> I do use it, but I treat it more like a fragile platform where anything can disappear any moment. Don’t share or keep anything valuable on it.

Fwiw most people I use signal with have auto-disappearing messages enabled, so all our comms are ephemeral anyway.

And for private messages, that turns out to be totally fine. I read it, act on it if necessary, open any links in a browser, download any files sent, and then have no need for the message to persist beyond that.

This isn't Twitter where I'm deliberately creating a public record of commentary for like-minded folks to find and engage with me on, that needs to persist for a long time. Signal for when I've already found those folks and need to have private OTR conversations with them.
“Ground Control to Major Tom” the Apollo Playlist Part 1
It doesn't need to be Word or Excel-levels of options and control, less is actually more - for example table cells in Confluence can only have 6 colors, and no fancy border styles etc. which in my opinion provides a more unified look and feel. Just the UX needs to flow smoothly enough, as working with tabular data consists of doing many of the same steps over and over again.
Yes. I keep my iMessages forever, and even back them up (as well as my photo library) as part of my desktop backups.

I’m switching my social networks to Telegram after Signal burned up its good will focusing on features they want versus what their users want. Do I care if it’s as secure? No, I prefer the convenience and superior UX iMessages and Telegram offers.

Really unfortunate, as it was Signal’s race to lose after their bump in usage and shoutouts from popular folks using it.
It won’t be that wild because we won’t know about it.
Yes. But the intrinsic value of a piece of art is tied to someone wanting to own that art for the enjoyment of it. The intrinsic value of a stock is tied to the earning power of the company you own a small piece of. NFTs have no earning power.

> iMessage will literally prevent adding non Apple IDs to group chats if the initial start of the chat is in iMessage and included non SMS apple ids.

WhatsApp also doesn’t let you randomly include SMS recipients, because that’s technically infeasible.

This doesn’t seem at all surprising. “Messages” is essentially a client that supports two unrelated protocols. MMS and iMessage. If you create an iMessage conversation, there is no way to involve SMS without moving the entire conversation to that protocol, which gives up all the iMessage features.

Yeah I had a good laugh at that too. I don't even look at cars less than 10 years old when I shop for a "new" car. Let someone else take the depreciation hit and find all the lemons. I'll pick up a survivor for a tenth of what the car cost when new.
WhatsApp has had stories for years, just called statuses. Most of my American friends don't use it or know they're there, but my East African friends use them all the time. Frankly, most of my US friends aren't even on WhatsApp or Telegram or Signal. I don't know where they are :-D Maybe iMessage, Instagram, Twitter, TikTok, Snapchat, Facebook.

How do you define the difference between a messaging app and social media app? Many seem quite blurred to me.

You don't need a rooted phone. Signal can do backups on Android, they can be enabled through Settings > Chats > Backups.

I'm not sure why they don't have that feature on iOS though.
