MetaMask, and any wallet, lets the user sign transactions. Wallets can't know nor validate contract internals.
PRNDL is regulated, so there's precedent for setting a minimum standard for UI.
I would agree it should be regulated, along with quite a few other things around controls.

But I seriously wonder if any of the legacy auto makers would do this. I feel like they’re all way too conservative to do something this radical.
It’s not enough that I see the burger on my iPad with plenty of room, I also sometimes see it on a desktop. God forbid the user be able to do what they want. Google cloud is my favorite example. For some reason they’ve hidden the button that starts the instance - one thing that you actually want to do. But at least the interface is “clean”.
I was born in 1997, I recall a faint effort being made to teach us cursive in about 5th grade, but neither myself nor anyone my age I know can write it.

I can only write print. I don't see the use for cursive, and I said as much when I was 10 (I already had a personal computer, if I was going to write something long it'd be faster for me to type it).
They already do have to adhere to regulations of those functions:

And pass the FMVSS 103 Windshield Defrosting And Defogging safety test:

https://www.nhtsa.gov/sites/nhtsa.gov/files/documents/tp-103...

Which specifically requires: photos of the instrument cluster to be filed. Has Tesla violated their certification by altering the instrument cluster without going through the appropriate 103 certification process?

The document also inherits from SAE J902A, which I can’t view as it costs money, even though it’s US law. Does J902A require a button to always be present, such that use of submenus for said digital button would be illegal under federal law?
The following is from the ICO, which I don't think has any reason to interpret the guidelines any stronger than what they have to, since they aren't willing to enforce any of it anyway:

https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/guide-to-data-protectio... :

> Consent means offering individuals real choice and control. Genuine consent should put individuals in charge, build trust and engagement, and enhance your reputation.

> Consent requires a positive opt-in. Don’t use pre-ticked boxes or any other method of default consent.

> Be specific and ‘granular’ so that you get separate consent for separate things. Vague or blanket consent is not enough.

> Make it easy for people to withdraw consent and tell them how.

https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/guide-to-data-protectio... :

> What is an unambiguous indication (by statement or clear affirmative action)?

> It must be obvious that the individual has consented, and what they have consented to. This requires more than just a confirmation that they have read terms and conditions – there must be a clear signal that they agree. If there is any room for doubt, it is not valid consent. [emphasis mine]

At this point you could already argue that unless the decline option is as prominent (if not more) than the accept option then the user didn't actually intend to consent and just couldn't figure out how to decline.

> Consent should be given by a clear affirmative act [...] Silence, pre-ticked boxes or inactivity should not therefore constitute consent.

> The key point is that all consent must be opt-in consent, ie a positive action or indication – there is no such thing as ‘opt-out consent’. Failure to opt out is not consent as it does not involve a clear affirmative act. You may not rely on silence, inactivity, default settings, pre-ticked boxes or your general terms and conditions, or seek to take advantage of inertia, inattention or default bias in any other way. All of these methods also involve ambiguity – and for consent to be valid it must be both unambiguous and affirmative. It must be clear that the individual deliberately and actively chose to consent. [emphasis mine]

Seems like that's cut and clear.

Sure but where do you put the line? Why can he be delisted because he doesn't like Joe Rogan? Can others be delisted because they don't like other Podcast creators? It's a really bad decision to make voluntary.
Scott Jenson is great. It’s sad that he got so trolled.

I hope the folks at Tesla paid attention. He’s one of the top UX people in the world.

His book, The Simplicity Shift[0], was one of the seminal UX books in my career. I still use many of the insights that I gleaned from it.

It’s a real short read (and a free download, now). It was written when everyone was still using flip phones, and was very useful in doing a brutal UX triage.

Interesting! Whats the other software?

I actually love ledger, and GoDBLedger can read in ledger files for this reason. I hate to throw negative feedback at other open source systems because the ultimate goal is to automate the financial process and we are really all working together to achieve that.
The newly released, top-of-their-line, Nikon Z9:

> Well, IMATEST confirms the observation from the waveform plot above: there are about 12.7 stops max. dynamic range, but nothing more. Also, in the middle graph above the blue “12.7” line (indicating SNR = 1), there is nothing.

> If we look at the measured gamma curve (first graph in the IMATEST result above) – which is the used N-Log profile – it becomes obvious what is happening. N-Log as it is designed for now cannot hold more than 13 stops. If you look at the distribution of stops on the shadow side (to the left), there is a more or less horizontal line – meaning, that there is no code value differentiation between shadow stops anymore.

It would really upset me if my car interface changed without my choice.

I need to go places, not dork with a new UI.
CLRS is the text, but for a more gentle introduction see Grokking Algorithms.
I had a similar experience at the beach around 6 or 7 but it ended with me getting yelled at by some surfers for littering.
While I can hear the difference between 128 kbit mp3 and flac, I sometimes can't between 320kbit mp3 and flac. But that being said, on principle, I want as much information there as possible, no not as much as "makes sense", because common sense is debatable. Since sound is analogue, there's a new data-point every Planck time, at a resolution of how many Planck lengths I don't know.. Obviously, that's idiocracy.. But I'll take "this is provable many times more precise than you're physiologically able to hear" any day.
IMO, yes. Defrost behavior and timing is "serious business" in the car business.

Not only is it specifically discussed in the vehicle regulations (https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/49/571.103), it has specific SAE standards for testing (https://www.sae.org/standards/content/j381_202006/).

I don't know if any of them specifically require a certain number of presses or such - I've never had an "old style" knob climate system that would automatically turn the blower to max in the defrost position, though that certainly helps the process. But neither have I ever run into a vehicle where the functionality is actively hidden. Scan for the defrost logo, front and rear, interact with the proper controls. To remove this obvious behavior from a car randomly speaks to an insane level of disconnect between the designers (who mostly operate on the concept of change for the sake of change, because any change makes it look new) and users (who, generally, would rather things stay where they were).

I don't care if my car UI wins international design awards for Excellence in Minimalism (ExMn) or something. I care that I can use it to make the various systems do what I want, or put them in a sane "Automatic" mode that then does reasonable things with them. And, further, I very much do care that they don't randomly change on me between trips in the vehicle.
TCP is going to be not great because when you receive packets out of order, there's a feedback loop that leads to the source retransmitting the presumed missing, but possibly just delayed packets. Adding more duplicate data to your congested queue makes things worse / keeps them bad. It's much better to drop some packets from the flow than to intentionally misorder them. This property does make it harder to load balance tcp over multiple connections; you get better results if you hash flows, so one tcp connection always goes over the same physical connection, and should remain ordered... Round robin packet sending might be nice, since you wouldn't end up with uneven utilization of individual physical connections in an aggregated connection, but the tcp stack behavior would be much worse and real world bandwidth would not be useful. Actually handling tcp packets out of order isn't nice either, but if the options are drop a packet or delay an earlier packet to send after a later one, we're going to have to handle some packets out of order. This is what ECN (explicit congestion notification) was supposed to help, if you could mark packets as congested before the congestion got bad enough to drop packets; of course, that was hard to get deployed.

Things like voip or gaming are going to have trouble with out of order packets too. If you already did something to workaround the missing packet, if it eventually arrives late, you may not have any use for it. If I already played silence (or ??) to get through a missed sample, I can't go back and put in the late sample. Etc. Late at that point is not better than never.

There are certainly ways to make protocols where late is better than never; you could have a bulk file transfer protocol that sent all data once before resending or something, but that's not common.

I drove a Tesla in December for the first time, too; but it was before this update.

I wasn't blown away. I rented it for a medium-length road trip, and was looking forward to autopilot on the highway. I found the features really lack-luster and difficult to use. You had to enable separate autopilot features individually, and they constantly disengaged for various reasons. My newish Honda honestly provides more of an ~~autonomous~~ driving experience with just adaptive cruise control + lane-keep assist. The control center was surprisingly complex and obtuse, and I missed carplay.

The experience made me really excited about buying something electric in the future, but I doubt it will be a Tesla.
Top SF pay is increasing faster than 5 years ago, not slower. The same appears to be true in NL. My interpretation is that NL group 3 salaries are going towards SF but are kept lower by the lack of a local middle market and the various difficulties pulling in devs from a smaller country in a different time zone from most big players.
The various racial “quotas”, etc exist to offset the impact.

What's with the ironic quotes on “quotas”? Are they instances of active discrimination, or are they not?

History shows that they are [needed].

A highly contentious assertion.
How is that "misinformation"? How is "trying to understand the science" misinformation. How about you try providing "real information" instead of trying to cancel people?

The only counter to that yet I can possibly think of is the overwhelming hospitals argument. Are we seriously going back to the overwhelming hospitals argument from 2 years ago? When the healthcare industry is for profit that's what you end up with. It's not my problem that hospitals by design don't have extra slack. On top of that several fully capable healthcare workers have been fired during the pandemic. Except for rare circumstances anyone who wants a vaccine can get it. It's time to move on.

Yep, ditch all the shiny bells & whistles, autopilot, massive screen, etc., and in turn drop the price by $3k to $5k.

But I'm not sure that's the market Tesla want to be in that market. Other automakers might get there though.
You are not required to use the Autopilot though
I have 3 cars. One has carplay, and I have a Tesla... I'd a thousand times over prefer tesla's UI over carplay. It's easier to play Spotify music. The experience is a lot better. The maps are better. Those are the two things that matter most to me and it's lightyears better than car play.
The ERP that my company uses is proprietary and they charge large sums of money to make custom changes. I am an in house developer that has gotten to know the database backing the ERP and have extrapolated functionality based on stored procedures and table schemas. The work I do would cost my company much more than my salary and I build interfaces that connect to marketplaces or marketplace API aggregators such as ChannelAdvisor. I can attest to your statement that in house engineers can cost much less than the modification engineers who know the system but will charge an arm and a leg.

As a matter of fact I've carved out a niche in these matters over the years. Essentially reverse engineering systems and building out functionality instead of the original creators of the software.

EDIT: The ERP company never made it not possible to interface through their DB in their contracts or by encrypting their functionality in the DB.

The amount of value I bring to my company is greater than 100 fold of my salary.
>I would also be in favor of an EIP returning money to addresses who lost money because of these early mistakes. However, I can see that this can be a contentious one, so the community and the success of Ethereum should always be first. (...) I am also sorry that this was a negative event for the perception of cryptocurrencies. The last thing I would want in this world :(

These are not the words of somebody who lost half a million dollars, who in a regular non-crypto situation with a fellow person, a bank, a credit card, and so on, would be fuming at the mouth.

These are the worlds of a true believer, to a degree that this is cult-level scary considering the amount involved.

Or, do what enterprises do with sensitive documents: Store it with a custodian (or a hardware wallet).

Mutli-sig wallets are but one non-custodial solution.

Not long ago, Signal demonstrated a way to recover passphrases in a way that server compromise doesn't really reveal anything at all about the passphrase itself: https://signal.org/blog/secure-value-recovery/ The OPAQUE standard also has similar properties to Signal's design but much more cheaper to implement: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-irtf-cfrg-opaque... I point these out because Novi (Facebook's Diem wallet) implements the latter. These never require keys to ever leave a client device (which inturn could be a hardware wallet).

Useable security will take time. It was a long road from GnuPG to Keybase/Signal. Given the amount of cryptographers and engs building for "web3", I'm sure something useable will crop up. May be it is Moxie himself who comes up with it, who knows? ;)

Newsflash: competent senior engineers in LatAm with 10+ years of experience are not dramatically cheaper than US engineers outside of NY/SF.

A good engineer in Latam might work below market rate for a couple of years, then they realize their market value and stop working at a discount.
On the other hand, with algorithms you can actually study how the decisions are made. You can investigate what was given as input and how it affected the results.

With complicated algorithms it may not be obvious, but then you can try to poke the black box with thousands of sample cases to see how it reacts.

Compare this with humans, who often don’t even know themselves what their decisions are really based on.
It seems possible that Rust could make better progress than C++ on incorporating this optimization into its standard library because it does not allow programmed move constructors, so "knows" more about its types. This is not assured, because it needs other declarative features that might not be in the core language yet, and might not be on the road map.

But running industrially important generic algorithms twice as fast as C++, automatically and without heroics, would be a Feather in Rust's Cap, and a Black Eye for C++. ("!!!!", as it were.) Or vice versa. Best would be if both got it, of course.

At present, both languages need heroics. I don't know of any other language where there is a reasonable prospect of getting such an optimization implemented generically, but that doesn't mean there aren't any.

Agreed. We're overdue for a Magna Carta for our new era, lest we be absolutely ruled by the ever-growing myriad of algorithms and models that govern our participation in society and economy.
Well, you didn't answer the question in my previous comment, so a discussion with you doesn't seem to be worthwhile. I think I have a pretty good idea by now what to expect from YOU.

You are entitled, because you do not bring any facts to the table that would support your point of view, just your own opinions, nevertheless you demand "more work" from other people. If that is not entitled, I don't know what is. And the fact that you cannot see it, even after I point it out to you, speaks for itself.
But doesn't lispworks also have threading support on arm and would allow you to attach to a remote image?
To be honest, I think if most HN-type people want to be worried about threats to their salaries, the heartland is where to worry about. Making 60k/yr with a 4yr CS degree is extremely normal and it's a bit odd because you start high (for the region, I mean) but then the salary for an engineer with 25 years of experience (??) is only 150k.

And there's a lot of solid, affordable schools in the heartland too. So with only a 1-2 hour TZ difference regardless of which coast your main offices are in, you get employees that cost 10-25% as much but are culturally and logistically extremely similar.

Also worth noting, on the topic of culture, that while the heartland votes red, it's mostly just because of how the counties work. Most of the population is still fairly liberal, especially the portion with a college degree. And programmers are usually the liberal anarchy types anyway, on top of that.
That's the privilege of teachers and school administrations. They get to select which books are taught and available. And if they exclude a book, it isn't "banned", they merely didn't choose it. It's only when someone else meddles with their choices that it becomes banning and censorship.

(Where "no longer mandatory reading" gets reported as a "ban" by the news)

The Camp of the Saints isn't in school libraries or mandatory reading lists - shall the news breathlessly report that it is also banned?
FWIW you can use any SGML processor to separate-out boilerplate from content files using entities (text macros), and more advanced forms of HTML templating. Makes sense since HTML itself, originally conceived as an SGML vocabulary, lacks these authoring features since present in the larger SGML context/toolchain. You can also typecheck your documents and even format markdown into HTML using SGML's SHORTREF feature; checkout [1].

As long as you listen on only your iPhone (or iPad), I prefer AM. Spotify has better recommendations but their treatment of what music is, is like how Instagram treats photography or Amazon treats books.

There’s just no love for music as Spotify; it’s more an engine designed to maximize your engagement with their pool of content.

No one at Spotify would give a shit about a new Beatles remaster or about celebrating the work of a recently deceased artist or whatever - unless it would push the dial on their “DAU metric” or “engagement dashboard”.

Meanwhile AM seems at least interested in making you enjoy the marvel that is music and have you appreciate its cultural impact.

We should rightfully be very skeptical about Apple’s earnestness or ethics when it comes to hard to measure things like “privacy” or “taste”. But I remain convinced that there is still some influence of Steve Jobs and Jimmy Iovine etc. at Apple Music.

I would say it isn't a user experience choice its an aesthetic choice. And if he UX team, or whoever is making these decisions, is prioritizing aesthetics over functionality than I really don't know what to say.

I’m airlifted there isn’t more push back against all-touch interfaces in cars.

Honda put a volume knob back on its 2021+ Ridgeline. Might not have been consumer feedback, but people hated the touch volume control in pre-21 models.

I loathe having to navigate menus and screen to find basic functions. My Honda had touch radio, with access to some set-up options, but daily functions are physical buttons. I like it this way. I’ll likely never buy a Tesla.
