I very much doubt that it would ever be difficult to access the archive copies. It is unsurprising that a new broadcast is edited, but this is no more censorship than editing Shakespeare for modern audience is. If you are curious what the original was (and you should always be, no matter how old the media is), you can always check out the archive (which are becoming more and more easy to access, not more difficult as this article is implying).
Please, explain.
Why not to have software on a dishwasher, if it does not misbehave and can be switched off if you wish?
That’s interesting that they provide it in its original form given the expansive censorship on the Disney+ platform as a whole.

Sorry for a meta question but is the "Show HN" tag correctly applied? I tried to check if the poster is a developer of Firecracker, but unless that their contributions were pre-GitHub, I don't think that the tag qualifies.
What the hell went wrong with the western world that a nontrivial number of people think that free speech is bad, censorship is good and it’s ok to rewrite history when it’s inconvenient or unpleasant?
> BIG conflict of interest… if someone goes on his show stating something like “brushing actually destroys your teeth, you should take X supplement which I developed and read my book” he gets money and viewers interested in this “no brushing” thing. If the conclusion is that you should brush and use toothpaste he doesn’t have a podcast.

This seems to be equally valid for basically any media (using brush and toothpaste is not news). Would you say that all media is in BIG conflict of interest? Or how is Joe Rogan fundamentally different?
My first reaction was to write a comment about why you don't need WiFi on a dishwasher. Then I found there may be use cases: you want to start the washing program from the office so it finishes right before you get home. That day when you need to stay another hour in the office, being able to interact with the machine is a nice to have, even if not a really important thing. Same as with air conditioning when you want to save electricity.
Netflix does this also. I've noticed in a documentary, I believe it was "The Social Dilemma", which now includes comments about COVID-19 disinformation campaigns.
its much easier to get people to go along with historically bad ideas if they've never been allowed to know how badly the previous incarnations have been for the world.

Other comment mentioned "Peter Pan," and the unsuitability of some of it for modern kids... Why aren't kids allowed to know that people once thought of things differently than we do now? We tell them "someone discovered the earth was round" even though thats arguable, but on this subject the fear of controversy mandates ignorance and silence?

I don't wanna teach my kid that, and didn't.

Is that true? I expected the exact opposite.

This article's posting on HN is possibly inspired by the recent post about the unreasonable uses of bubble sort [0] as it is a counterintuitive belief in CS that an inefficient algorithm could ever be useful. I am pretty sure that there are other beliefs in the computing world that are also common and completely false, such as "Deleting a file removes the data from the drive" or "Twice the number of cores working on a task means the process will finish twice as quickly."

Why should it be necessary to install software in order to fuel a vehicle? What benefit exists for the consumer?

I have noticed this as a trend in physical services, I was asked by a grocery store to install software prior to purchasing groceries, however they were gracious after I declined, and permitted me to purchase groceries using only my debit card.
the users benefit by having an app at least. It's unlikely that apps written in the walled garden will be ported to other OSes. If they make those apps cross platform somehow, it would be the lowest common denominator in other OSes.

You have to take into account peak usage and depreciation.

Cars are typically only discarded once they hit a certain distance. No matter if the car is a taxi or a personal car, it will be discarded after the same number of miles.

You also need to buy enough cars for the worst possible scenario, which is the peakiest of peaks.

Unlike a personal car, robotaxis will also be replaced as soon as it economically efficient to do so, whereas cars are typically eventually driven past the point at which they are economically viable by someone.

I do not believe there will be a significant decrease in car manifacture.

The only way it could be is if instead of robotaxis, we built robobuses that carry 5-6 people on average.
It's hard to tell people "just take the bus" when the nearest suitable home to the bus stop starts at $1M. Alt transit is making slow but measurable progress but the housing situation is the real priority if you want people out of cars.

Unless you're a believer in urban living, suburban costs are hard to beat, even when factoring in car ownership costs.

Star Citizen certainly does seem like that! The question is, is this fundamentally because of the liquidity of these mechanisms? Or is there an opportunity to build working funding systems that work better than the VC process? Is VC simply the ultimate evolution of funding impactful businesses?
Thanks for the sneak preview. Got some useful tips. $30 for the whole thing is a good deal.
This seems trite, but the reason EVs aren’t affordable now is that not enough are being produced to satisfy demand. The actual cell cost (not price) is crazy low, like under $80/kWh for the LFP type cells in the base Model 3. But the price goes higher because demand is so incredibly high, even though Tesla is making 1 million EVs per year and growing rapidly year on year.

Used EVs used to be pretty dang affordable already (I got a Leaf and a Volt for under $10k each) before all used cars became more expensive and the price of gasoline increased, increasing the demand for EVs.

It’s just about scaling up production.
Hey

Let me introduce myself.

I’ve been a conversion designer for the past 13 years. That means I help online stores make more money with design that converts.

The biggest problem I had while designing online stores was that I often forgot to include elements that positively impact conversions simply because there are so many of them.

For that reason, I started building a list of elements that every store needs to have to convert as many visitors into customers as possible.

My list now includes more than 300 conversion checkpoints with examples. Each conversion checkpoint is evaluated based on its impact (from 1-3) and the cost of implementation (from 1-3). When you consider each store element, the list will calculate which parts you need to take care of first. Starting with those that cost the least, have the most significant impact, and are evaluated as poor at the moment.

Anyway, I feel like I definitely shouldn't be the only one benefiting from my list, so today, I’m sharing the list with you.

Let me know what do you think?

Thanks, Jaka
I did not find it difficult to find "dumb" devices on the european market - microwaves with rotary buttons and a washing machine without digital display or any visible computer-like interface. And a fridge that only does cool things.

I'm confused why tech people like lovecruft still pick the models who have whacky wifi integrations and stuff. For me it seems obvious they are a huge burden in the long term.
Gas stations already do this, they offer deals to certain credit cards, grocery chains, or even if you buy a car wash.
Did the exact same trip with a Model 3 2021, 1200km ski trip from Germany to Austria. Came back yesterday. I experienced it way differently.

- We were able to make 300km with 90% to 10% battery (to not hurt the battery longevity too much)

- Outside temp was -4 to +2 °C

- Inside temp set to 20°C, seat heating 2/3 for two passengers

- So a we made a charging break every 300km, so approx every 2-3 hours

- Recharging those 80% at a supercharger takes about 30-50min depending on the Supercharger-version.

- We had 0 traffic/wait times at the super chargers (we drove both directions on a sunday)

- We would do a 10-15min break anyway every 2-3 hours to grab a coffee or do magic pee, so the extension of the charging breaks over our normal breaks aren't event that long

- All superchargers had a <5min detour from the Autobahn

Overall we spent approx. 2hrs more on breaks as we would have with a conventional car. I think thats a fair trade-off for 2-3 vacation trips a year, figuring in the time saved for normal refilling stops with a non-EV cars during commutes (when you are able to charge your EV at home).

To me, the future of "driving into holiday fully electric" is already possible with a Tesla LR model. With other EVs without Supercharger-Access/smaller battery/slower charging speeds probably not so much.

You can even save more time by using tools like ABRP[0].
This even gives you better charge-planning with shorter, time-optimized stops also figuring in detour times.

It seems you're looking at the probability the wrong way. There are thousands of chums all over the world making music. Some had more talent and were therefore more likely to become successful.
Why can't it just display that on the screen?
Agree they are not the same thing, but often can be related. If you get lazy or slack off on things like testing, handling edges cases, properly documenting. Your conscience will bother you when you are not being conscientious.
I do not see how that solves the general problem.

Either there are as many cars available for prebooking as their are rush-hour commuters who want them or we have to ration the supply using shortages and/or surge pricing. In the former case we haven't appreciably decreased the number of cars. In the latter case I anticipate that anyone who can afford to do so will continue to own a private vehicle to ensure they can get to work on time, so we also haven't appreciably decreased the number of cars.

My understanding is that it's only possible to pay of you know the private key of the payer.

If so, the only way to have automated collection and recurring payments is to entrust your private key to a third party and to re-implement the whole existing banking infrastructure... In which case you might as well use a bank and 'normal' payments.
It's not necessary for regular charging poles, but you do need some way to identify yourself. Using an app is a bit more environmentally friendly than mailing out loads of plastic cards. Personally I don't know why chargepoles don't just support chip and pin, at least in Europe - almost all parking places here do now.
Because in this case it's 100x faster to start charging via the app, and there are no card readers at Tesla's superchargers anyway - how else would you pay?
I don't think I do, care to elaborate?

From what I can see, there's only two types of processes running inside a dishwasher:

- control loops. These can (and must) be fully articulated during the design phase, can be accurately modeled using a Mealy FSM, and can be coded and verified with 100% coverage.

- input processing. These take input from various sensors inside the machine, clamp and/or process the measurements, and pass on the data to some control system. The processes can be designed to be completely stateless (or maybe with hysteresis), which means that the only verification they need is that they always output valid data, even when confronted with spurious inputs. Since it's a feed-forward process and the inputs are bounded, 100% coverage is again possible.

The only other system is the UI, and its only job is to provide valid configuration data to the master control process. As long as that part is extensively tested, the rest of the UI can crash and reboot at any time, and it won't affect the operation of the fully-tested control process.
AFAIK you can't repair non-free software, it's just prohibited by the license.
I don't need to be notified when the job is complete; I press "Start" before I go to bed, and unload in the morning. I don't mind if my clothes are a bit crumpled.

Author doesn't give Ballmer enough credit. Ballmer built out Microsoft's enterprise business - primarily SQL Server, Exchange. Not only did this give Microsoft deep in-roads into enterprises (as author notes), but it gave microsoft insight into just how fast AWS was growing.

The rumor is Ballmer saw the rapidly growing license fees being paid by Amazon for running Windows Server and SQL Server. When he didn't see enough traction being made on cloud initiatives, he replaced Bob Muglia (then head of the Microsoft's Server and Tools Division) with Satya Nadella.

> The manufacturing of a car is responsible for a very significant amount of the emissions it produces over its life.

According to the Kurzgesagt video about climate change and how to stop it, what's even more significant is the carbon emmissions of road construction. Apparently a single meter of road is equivalent to one car. If we increase car use, we need more roads and those roads need more maintenance and all that has a big carbon budget.

We simply need to move our society away from private car infrastructure. My opinion is that a well-designed urban environment built for a mix of electric trains, buses, and e-bikes, with dense housing and mixed use zoning would work really well, as shown in places like Scandinavia, Holland, etc.

Ask HN: Impact of not allowing upvote and comment request on Hacker News (FAQ)
As per hackernews FAQ, users should not request upvotes or comments. How do users feel about this rule and does it improve the quality of content and conversations here?

Would it help if users also followed similar practice on other social media platforms (e.g. I see many YouTube videos asking for like, subscribe, comments, and bell icon)

--------------- Below taken from Hackernews FAQ -------------
Can I ask people to upvote my submission?

No. Users should vote for a story because they personally find it intellectually interesting, not because someone has content to promote. We penalize or ban submissions, accounts, and sites that break this rule, so please don't.
"Context" is definitely a word of the decade nominee.

As a non-English computer user, I'm increasingly annoyed by Crowdin-style jumblations. Missed context is the common trope for both - whether the less-used feature do mean the feature is less important, or whether the "Play" on a button do mean "I instruct you _Play_ this media" or "I want to _Play_ this game" depends on the context(the language I mainly use do use separate words for the latter two).
It is updated by now - some seconds delay is fine I think and if they would not cache the status page it might go down in a blink now too ;-)

> the driver really is to blame though

Yes, I know I'm responsible. I do not want/need car/manufacturer to be responsible, I just want technology to help where it could.

> Manufacturer's job is to make things affordably

This maybe is your opinion, but that's not how it works. There is plenty of manufacturer's who manufacture things which are not affordable and plenty of people buy it. Pretty much any industry has luxury segment which also tends to be most profitable

> This mentality that the car should make up for fundamental defects in safe driving is horrifying

Humans are imperfect. Stress, distractions, tiredness etc could make anyone to make mistake, even yourself. Why would adding safety features be horrifying?

> Because it is so old, much of the material that the BBC has been altering is not available to purchase or download, nor broadly owned on physical media,

That's not true. The majority is available to download via either official or unofficial archives. Huge amounts of BBC material was released on cassette and CD.

If you watch a movie on an aeroplane, it will quite often be edited - both to remove excess sex and violence and - duh - mentions of plane crashes!

If you watch BBC shows syndicated in the USA, they'll have advert breaks edited in.

This is such a non-story.

I'd wager it's the same reason they're getting rid of parking pay booths and parking meters - it's a hell of a lot cheaper for people to install your app and pay through that, than installing traditional payment options. Why would you pay for the debit/credit terminal, then the monthly fee to connect it to the internet? If people want to use your service so badly they'll install your app.
I don't have a smart dishwasher, but I think an API to display the current salt level and a web UI that has some space to display and comfortable configure the various settings instead of 6 incomprehensible buttons would certainly be things I'd be interested in.
