I don't care what the technical status of the BBC is. It is publicly funded and thus the public has an interest in ensuring history is not being rewritten.
I know this is meant to be a short article, but there are several points that I think are more complicated in reality.

> The promise of a relaxed, comfortable commute to work could even make some people move farther away from their workplaces and accelerate suburban sprawl trends.

At least where I live (suburbs outside of NY), more self-driving cars will not likely lead to more people commuting from farther away. The road capacity is already maxed out. Everyone I know either takes mass transit. In most other cities where I have coworkers, the roads were not built for the number of commuters, and again whether it's comfortable or not, people would rather not be commuting an hour and a half by car each way. This is especially true now in a world where we've all gotten used to a commute of walking down the hallway.

> it’s unlikely to evolve that way on its own.

They don't really explain why. They mention the idea of having shared fleets of cars, which would greatly reduce the cost of ownership and which become more plausible when cars are driverless. It seems like most people would have sufficient financial incentives (saving hundreds of dollars per month) to move in that direction.

The article also doesn't explore the downstream impact from moving to shared fleets, and how great that would be for the environment. We dedicate a huge amount of resources, both real estate and financial, just to parking. If we have fewer total cars in existence, we would have less need for parking. There's also environmental impact of battery production [1], and as we move to electric vehicles having fewer total cars on the road will mean we need to produce fewer batteries, creating fewer mines for metals needed and using up less water which is needed by mining processes.

>Rather than people owning a car they'll request one via an app, it'll turn up and drive them where they want to be

Which will mean turning up to the suburbs at 8am to drive downtown by 9am. Without a drastic, permanent change in working hours & commuting (or permanent WFH) the minimum number of cars will barely change.
Perhaps. I was thinking of real damage to the ecosystem, not 'its ugly for people' kind of eco-theatre issues.

And if those were real issues, they are also much mitigated by electric vehicles. Again, its a non-issue looking for relevance in my opinion.

I don't understand. Excel is one of the most utilized pieces of software ever created. Entire business run off of it. It's amazing software by any definition.
But what about not needing to do a software update when all I want is to wash dishes?

It would be best if most machines didn't talk to us, at all. Press a button: it runs. Nothing more.
Yes, but it'll get _much_ closer to 0 than e4 or d4, which are already close enough to 0 to produce good games won by black. I wouldn't call it needlessly unfair

It also means White still gets the edge of being able to prepare for the first move vs their opponent, ie they may've studied 1.Nc3 lines much deeper in preparation, whereas currently White gets the edge of choosing the first move & it's advantage

ie White gets to decide whether they prefer their e4 prep or d4 prep against their opponent's prep as Black, so if White doesn't want to play against their opponent's Sicilian they play d4. This is a theoretically moot but real advantage. See Fischer's performance with c4: https://www.chessgames.com/perl/explorer?pid=19233&side=whit...

See also how well 1.g3 or 1.b3 have performed while Stockfish gives both a solid 0 eval

In short, while I started with Yes, I mean No. Because b3/g3 are equal enough that White gets an edge by deciding whether the game will be a g3 or a b3 game
SSG's feel like the first step towards something. Unless the website has really simple structure it likely that you will get stuck i) with sub-optimal content management (e.g using an IDE) and ii) a complex mess of mixing code and content, poorly documented and incompatible themes (my experience is with hugo)

But those are not arguments to go back to using a database when it is clearly not needed, but rather to evolve tools, documentation, theme design principles etc to eliminate pain points
https://ashleynolan.co.uk/blog/getting-started-with-terminal has some very basic stuff for mac terminal (n.b. these are also largely identical to linux too, so bonus!). No relation to the site, just found it from googling and looks to cover off the essentials.

That will get you started getting comfortable moving around and doing things, but it doesn't go further than the absolute minimum. It will at least get you started and hopefully slightly comfortable if you need to use the terminal for anything else in the future as that is where the real learning comes from. E.g. following a tutorial and they say "type this in the command line" you are now at least a little familiar with it and can google the rest.

Have fun.
You are part of the ecosystem & should probably avoid inhaling carcinogenic materials.
I doubt the cost in engineer hours would ever pay for your savings. Dishwashers don't use much water.

Normally I'd say someone should check the numbers, but this time I think you have better things to do...
One of the primary sources of the problem is that housing is seen as something "for investors", rather than for people to live in.

This reminds me of the adage that the winners write the history.

This has always been going on, it’s just now so easy to track. The funny thing about editing the past is that those living automatically win, so it isn’t much of a fight.

It seems people would rather edit the past than be offended. This behavior certainly fits well with our understanding of modern sensibilities.
OTOH, modern machines have difficulties to clean and dry the dishes.
I have a smart dishwasher. Anyone who doesn't have one and is bashing them simply hasn't had the pleasure of trying them out. They're pure joy.

My 2 year old loves to help me load the dishes. She complains if I don't let her close the soap container and then press the button to start the machine.

It's never broken dishes on me. Never failed to clean anything. I've never forgotten to start it, or forgotten to add soap. It runs exactly when I want it to.

My dishwasher has 5 buttons on it. I just had to count them. I have only ever pushed 1, the start button. No digital display. No wifi. No broken firmware updates. Simplicity.

So smart a two year old can use it.
Ah yes seen that as well. Don’t criticise the process or you will be eliminated.

I self eliminated and went and worked for a web design startup who’s process involved being drunk and winging it and it was more effective.
What do you mean? If you can convince a sufficiently large share of the community, you can in fact roll back transactions.
I most certainly shared your dislike of intel over the stagnation of CPU's in the past 6 years. But I've come to appreciate more that Intel indeed is the last western player in leading node fabs. Pat Gelsinger has inspired much hope for me in Intel making a come back and focusing on the right things.
Automobiles require a lot of raw materials and energy to produce.

Roads require materials & energy to maintain. They also take up a LOT of space and slice up the natural world in a way that wrecks ecosystems.

Personal autos as the default method of transportation requires sprawly, inefficient land use. When every destination is build to accomodate the car, every errand comes to require the car. This is a bad thing, even if your car isn't directly burning gasoline.
An update to cope better with people using detergent pods of using the detergent dispenser? This excellent video [1] explains why pods do not work well and also explains a lot about how dishwashers work that I definitely did not know.

I mean, there are "solutions" for this, e.g. brand. You vote with your wallet next time, by not buying from them again. If enough consumers are bothered by this, they will change, or else another manufacturer will try to capture that market.

I'm not saying I like this behavior myself necessarily, but the bar for making something illegal should be quite a bit higher than "I personally don't like this". Engineers tend to always be against auto-updates, and yet consumers in general massively prefer this (and there are good cases for it).

I agree on a lot of them. Miele however, my mother's last Miele dishwasher lasted 22 years and they were still selling spare parts up until the day she replaced it. That's pretty unheard of in today's day and age
Another possible explanation I can think of is that UIUX products are bundled and rushed out for the maximum effect. There are rarely a literal "all-new" hardware product, and there are multiple models for each manufacturers, but websites and UIs are always all-all-new with no staggered releases.
> on a VLAN with other white goods, outbound connections to certain domains only

That probably says what needs to be said about smart appliances. There's a reason that's the right choice. This same reason is the reason smart appliances are a bad idea.

Am curious: When the washer is past security updates, are you going to leave it on the VLAN? Would you do that if the washer had a camera or microphone?
That's one calculus for sure. But most of us choose a career in a field we find congenial. Consider, if you actually like what you're doing and the impact it has on the world, you will likely excel past all those 'in it just for the money'.

I'd guess that many fields are managed and run by those who fit the former category. I prefer to be one of those.
Also, since dishwashers are "supposed to" last 10 years or more, they may force you to keep an older version of Wifi available on your network (e.g., 2.4ghz n) when all of your other devices may be on the latest version.
Thanks so much for explaining what it is in the headline! I hope other submitters do the same.
Amazing anybody had any clean dishes with dishwashers before the advent of the internet and wifi so the dishwasher could connect to them.
"the Wi-Fi is useful... the dishwasher auto-doses the powder, rinse aid, salt, etc... and can let me know the levels of those."

I do appreciate your respect for the usefulness of this functionality -- I just throw my laundry in the machine, press ON and then press START, throw in a random amount of soap and 60 minutes later or so I have clean clothes.
Point of order:

NLP is a valid therapeutic technique. It's just hard as hell to do right, and is prone to generating poor outcomes when applied unethically against people unaware of the practice. The point of it as a therapeutic technique has always been as a tool of self-discovery and patient empowerment. All the woo around it tends to come from the business lit that pop culture has spawned around it, and the fact that for the purposes pop-culture leans on it for, the "problem" to cure is less a deep seated memory distortion that requires excavation and remediation, but "get frigging going and stop being a pansy looking for a magic solution".

NLP is not C for people. NLP is the recognition that people overtime architect their own systems of mentation, and dometimes the parts we long ago automated come back to bite us in the ass; and maintenance is needed to update it.

That was how NLP came into existence.
Sure, but that's a separate issue from title accuracy.
You never connected it to WiFi. I don't trust any device with radio so introducing unessecary ones seems like a bad idea.
I struggle with math notation but have no trouble with math written as code (C, python functions....). It took me years to be able to see a summation as a for loop.
That is not true. It still requires proprietary binary blobs.

They affect the environment in as much as literally anything we do affects the environment.

Building roads everywhere in and of itself is a pretty dramatic change to our natural habitat.

Whether that's a positive or not is I think an undecidable problem.
That's why you only buy devices after checking, that e.g. HomeAssistant can talk to it without using the vendor dongle/app/site/server?
Again with the breathless hype.

Electric cars often use regenerative braking. For every old-style car replaced by an electric car, that is reduced. Not increased.
Similarly, I'm making sure I get ever mile out of my 1993 Jeep Wrangler. It's rusting in places, but I absolutely love that I can service the car myself. It has never broken down in almost 30 years!

There are different kinds of secure computing. The kind of security you are referring to is based on cryptographic schemes like homomorphic encryption or zero-knowledge proofs. The kind of security I am referring to is language-based security.

Affirmative Action is systemic racial discrimination (by definition) and you think that has widespread support? Maybe in "progressive" circles, but I think most people see it for what it is.

I think most people rather support the idea of a needs based system, not one that requires a color chart to determine who gets what.
Indeed, all that efficiency is lost in the hot water and time you have to spend prewashing.
"By calling the vaccine "rushed" and implying it can't be trusted,"

I already said this isn't true. It's already a facile argument when you say "the vaccine" knowing that multiple are in production. Biden, Harris and Fauci all very unequivocally endorsed the vaccines that passed the rigorous approval processes laid by my medical experts. Trump said vaccines cause autism repeatedly and as recently as 2015

Manufacturing an electric car is also worse for the environment than a gas powered one. Lithium and colbolt mining is not easy.

Similarly, electric cars in areas were power generation primarily comes from fossil fuels are worse for the environment currently. At some point in the future they might all be green energy, but most places around the world that is not the case yet.

There is a lot of nuance to these problems. Electric cars will be very important in the future for emissions saving, but currently are in the negative.
Any chance you could share the name of the doggy 23andme service? I looked and there are quite a few, but wouldn't know where to start.

Your opinion isn't in agreement with the research.

And before you come tell us that electric cars are quieter (they are, for the occupants), the great majority of automobile noise is from friction between the tires and the road.
I already got exactly what I wanted out of BAT: a token with a good incentive structure that has supported a business(Brave) with a hockey-sticking userbase. Brave got its initial financing through VC rounds, but the token represents one of the most successful outcomes of the ICO mania.

There are some original vested-escrow models currently being pushed in the DeFi token space. It's still unproven, but the term "ve(3, 3)" [0] (referring to a game theoretic outcome of mutual gain) is a meme right now.

And outside of the "scalable startup" target there's plenty going on too. All of GitHub is now subjected to an airdrop through Kivach, which escrows a cascading donation system. [1]

A generally correct lens of DeFi tech is to decenter "ownership" and look instead for network value incentives that incidentally involve individuals to generate activity. This leverages the distributed ledger properly towards social value. Taking this perspective overlaps with existing securities law in some instances, but not others.

Hypothetically recreational weed is legal in New York State but the state hasn't issued any licenses yet.

It's not that the state doesn't want to issue licenses but instead there are many competing interests to be worked out. Some towns, for instance, have chosen to opt out of having dispensaries. Downstate there are some black politicians who express some concern that there aren't going to be sufficient carve-outs for black people, etc. (e.g. I think they think that white people are going to wind up controlling the whole business, maybe the way the Italian Mafia took the numbers game away from them. On the other hand some of those politicians seem to have a backwards idea of how the economy works, saying that we need to subsidize off-track betting, not even the racetrack, to save jobs.)

So long as the situation is up in the air the illegal weed business is going forward with full force and I think the people involved are less afraid than they ever were that they'd face legal trouble. That is, if they are tried in court for not have a license they can counter-sue on the basis that licenses aren't being issued.

As it is, ordinary people are allowed to grow a few plants of their own, that is a going concern, and it's hard for me to believe that somebody is really going to get in trouble for having six plants when they are only supposed to have five so that is another cover for operations that go a bit beyond personal use.

I’m glad to see a report on this - I hate to see the NFL actively promoting gambling with their biggest stars lining up for the commercials. I’m sure in their eyes it will “promote” the game but it will ruin the lives of many.

I love that technology has become so accessible and powerful that everyone can become that crazy father/inventor of contraptions from 80s movies.

TBH I figure that this is roughly the point when the Wi-Fi chipsets can't connect to whatever the standard is at that moment in time.

The only really useful Wi-Fi feature of the white goods in my house would be within the hob and the extractor hood. These communicate over Wi-Fi so that the extraction is automatically turned on at the appropriate speed for however the hob is being used, and turned off 30 seconds after the hob stops being used.
