> No one likes ads, but expecting free content is silly.

It's not always possible to buy out of advertising. One of my fave sites anandtech.com has (I guess relatively reasonable) ads, and I can't subscribe or whatever to get rid of them.

I'm also generally OK with Adwords v1.0 ads, which had virtually no chance of autoplaying a super loud video, running malware on my machine, breaking the layout of a page as I'm trying to click on something, or masquerading as genuine content.

Ad blockers respond to the fact that users have very little ability to control their ad experiences, even in ways we probably think are appropriate like buying out of them. What you're implying here (ads vs. free content) is a false dichotomy.
.380 ACP, .38 special, and .25 ACP are also subsonic in their most commonly available rounds. As is .22LR as long as it is being shot out of a pistol (longer barrels will accelerate it past supersonic velocities, but almost all ammo is subsonic out of a pistol like a mark IV).

According to this survey on guns used in crime, it is 9mm, followed by .40 S&W (a typically transonic round), and then .45ACP.

Genuinely curious about this since this is probably the first time I hear about someone who dislikes photos. Since moving pictures also seems out of the question, are you mainly into text?
I doubt that. Even if adblockers weren't a thing they'd push more ads since it generates more revenue. It's probably also effective at annoying users into buying a subscription to avoid (most) ads.

Ask HN: What are idling first-time home buyers doing?
Renting another year? Sitting on cash or investing it? Pulling the trigger on a massive or small mortgage? And what's your reason? Is it due to market predictions or inability to further delay (family, etc.)?
I don't mind ads on broadcast TV or radio because they fund the content and don't insist on tracking me.

The privacy invasion that accompanies web ads leads me to treat them as malware and prevent their execution on my devices. I don't care about non-personalized ads (e.g. the 1P-hosted display ads on Ravelry).
I mean, Occam's Razor says the simplest answer is that if no companies have shown competitive advantage from DEI despite massive investment in DEI initiatives that DEI doesn't work.

If you've ever interacted with a recruiting pipeline at a big company you know the recruiters spend way more effort trying to recruit the few "diverse" people than everyone else. There's not much talent you're missing out on. If 80% of CS grads at universities are male then your pipeline is 80% male. There's no 30% extra women that are somehow recruitable but missed by every firm out there. Those women don't exist, else they would have been hired already.
The messages tennis players receive after losses from gamblers are vile.
I was at a honda dealer last friday and they didn't have a single new car on the lot. I person I knew there told me they sold every car in their allotment before it shipped and at a hefty markup. They haven't had an unsold new car hit the lot in months. There were selling used cars for more than they sold for when new. I was on the edge of buying a new Camry in the summer of 2019 and decided to wait one more year. That didn't work out very well.

Front bumpers of most cars/truck are generally plastic and can at least absorb energy of an impact with a pedestrian (albeit the hood is often near neck high and can snap their neck)

Tesla paraded their new truck with 'stainless steel body panels all around'. I don't know about you, but I've banged my shin into a steel tow hitch. I don't want anything remotely close to that on the road.
What an oddly written article. So Delany, the flagship character in the narrative, bet a bit of money and then his wife caught him so he stopped. Is he the best example they could have found? Sports betting and gambling in general is incredibly destructive and unbelievably difficult to kick for full-on addicts. Gambling addiction is no joke.

For some far more compelling journalism on the terrible consequences of gambling addiction I recommend this ABC Australia article on Australian pokies (that's "slot machines" if you're American, "fruit machines" if you're British).

OpenSea: 80% of NFTs made with its free creation tool are spam, scams and fraud
I have a similar perspective when dealing with cookie popups, since such a perspective is necessary for something you cannot block even if you wanted to. Those with enough annoying popup hoops just get the Back button from me.
While I don't doubt this sort of thing happens, the following line leads me to believe that this is an exercise in creative writing by someone:

> In the meantime, legal approved security to put a trace on John’s computer to review if there have been outside messages or if his work is being completed with outside help or on a different computer altogether.
yes, if you want to watch broadcast channels on a monitor you will need a tuner/amplifier converter box to do so
I agree but also wish that a similar sentiment was applied to modern investment strategies.
Do you drive a Miata? I did for years. Rearward visibility with the top up was pretty terrible. No rear quarter windows, the rear window was tiny. Yeah, the driver should turn their head and look, just as with any car, but they don't and they back into things. As the old saying goes, "this is why we can't have nice things."
> In 25 cities, such as Denver and Oakland, officials moved to remove police from schools, saving an additional $34m.

I take the "saving" money as a form of "defunding" the police (as the defunding isnt actually the point, but the redirection of resources toward better applications and away from racially unequal applications)

We're generally agreeing here.
yea, I can't use the web on mobile, its insane how patient people are with exploitative tech
That's just normal business though, and my statement is intrinsically correcting for that.

Netflix has the same MBAs and bean counters, but their product has no ads and orders of magnitude less clickbait. Its clear they make content geared for their users, not for their advertisers. Youtube is very heavy with advertiser friendly content, and both creators and users pay heavily for that (but its *quote* Free! *unquote*)
Ah! So this is what the mysterious countdown that went up around a month ago was ticking down to.
This still sounds terrible.

> Those aren't actual buttons, they're no better than a touch screen.

Your comment fondly reminded me of my very first computer, which was a Sinclair ZX81.

Let's just say that it wasn't ideal for text processing.

About the same as this "steering console" doesn't look quite ideal for driving a fucking car.

I concur with your horrification.
I'll just add some things I think are missing:

* Here's GitHub's guide: https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/connecting-to-gith...

> Before I get killed here for using Excel files for credential storage please note that I have about thirty+ years of excellent experience going that way, have tons of managed credentials and think that millions of users have similar practices.

That's not true and even if it was, it's not a justification to do anything. You know it's wrong, but to be honest it's not my job to convince you that you should be using the right tool for the right job.

What steps did you take to research a good solution on your own? How do the responses here compare? Do you think that asking questions here will have an effect on how you see your current workflow?
I feel like that is a cost decision. Instead of making the whole centre of the wheel a button you assign it to some capacitive button on the side.

But I agree, that second video is insane.
This isn't nitpicking about a minor detail, the fabricated claim is the entire core of the submission and the only reason it is getting this HN engagement. Imagine that they'd written a tweet saying "I think Google should not show ads above the search results" or "there should be fewer ads", and not added the screenshot. Do you think that would be near the top of the frontpage? I don't.

If the author's point is that the "Ad" text is not distinct enough and conflicts with the doc's view that ads need to be clearly marked, why not actually say that? Because what is distinct enough is just a matter of opinion. So instead the author has taken something that's not a matter of opinion but a clear fact ("there are ads above the search results") and just made up the part about the doc critiquing this. It's genius, because everyone loves a good story of corporate hypocrisy. But it's also not true. Why exactly are we looking to reward dishonest clickbait?
There's still a chance.
Redundancy in a back-bone? Sure.

Redundancy in the last mile? None of the infrastructure services provides that for residential customers. Not for internet, not for power, not for gas, not for water.
Are we to assume you would be willing to stake your life on anything you've ever said?
"No screens" is too harsh. My 2012 Civic EX has a colour screen. It supplements the traditional controls in just the right way, for example, with hierarchical menus for things like bluetooth pairing, rarely used configuration items (autolock) and maintenance reminders. It also puts all the visual information - trip computer, radio display and such - in one place. Speedo and tach are still where they belong. Perfect.
I am stunned. I am never buying a car that decides for me if I should be going forwards or in reverse. How did this anti-feature go through so many supposedly smart people? Does PHB work there also?
It's less about checking whether claims are true but about how they are rationalized. E.g. the claim could be a node "masks should be mandatory" with connections to reason, "masks reduce spread of virus" and papers supporting this policy. These would also need to be connected to nodes showing values, e.g. "reducing hospital admissions is more important than freedom of choice".

In this way it would be more obvious why policies are choosen and provide a way to express current knowledge. As more nodes are added to the graph, the policy prescriptions would change which would prevent mistrust that is based on "health department said do x, now they say don't do x".
We "hired" a DBA after a really good remote interview (this was in 2017). Two weeks later, the DBA shows up for work, but wasn't working very closely with the hiring team. His coworkers seemed curious about some of his approaches to problems etc. Turns out he had someone fake his interview. Fired him two weeks later when we had all of our ducks in a row in terms of HR stuff.
Listening to that, I think it's fairly safe to assume that anyone who listens to him through choice should have their ability to reason for themselves questioned.
>In the US it is only common in places with very restrictive gun laws

The rural areas with lax gun laws and bullet holes in most street signs disagree with your claim.

I agree uBlock origin is the best, but I am running Safari now, so I use both Adblock plus and Ghostery lite.
Promotion of gambling should be likened to promotion of cigarettes. It should be illegal to advertise gambling, but I don't think it should be outlawed to gamble. People should be able to choose how they live their lives, but we should do all that we can to prevent mass manipulation through adverts in industries that are known to be harmful.

I also think that alcohol and e-cig advertising should be outlawed as well.
Gambling is like drug use, some people are clearly addicted to it and will ruin their lives over it.

How does society respond to this fact? War on drugs, war on gambling, etc.

Hmmmmm
My top gripe about my wife's smart car: She sometimes leaves it with the radio on. A few seconds after bootup (starting the car), the radio starts playing. But it won't listen to the on/off button yet, not for several more seconds. So if I don't want the radio on, I have no way to shut it off until it will let me.
People Who Practice This Controversial Habit Have Low Emotional Intelligence
Sorry, I don't have references, I think I saw it in discussions when github switched from master to main.

This is a bit of problem for us outside of USA. We don't experience US culture from everyday interactions. We mostly get it online where many things are exaggerated and polarized more than in reality.

So, is there a controversy around "black magic" the US or not?

I have 2018 Chevy, and it's sufficiently dumb :)

I have physical controls for climate, and even a dedicated defroster button. The car supports Android Auto / CarPlay, so I don't have to interact with its horrendous navigation (my favorite part is that it announces route changes in backwards manner, e.g. "Turn left ... in half a mile").

The card was cheap, and has been running without issues. It's not a luxury car for sure, but it does its job.
Ask HN: Why does text jump around during images load? Is it a bug or a feature?
This is a characteristic of many web pages that I can't understand. Why were solutions like this implemented, and why aren't there initiatives to solve image/video placement in a better way?

I have clicked countless times on the wrong link just because an image loaded within my reaction time.

Personally almost all of my work in programming has been firmware, so I'm not very familiar with the circumstances behind web page design.
This is interesting because legalized gambling is the perfect example of the discrepancy between individual autonomy in theory versus practice.
This is what Dacia proposes in their cars. They know it's better to have a basic system with a radio, bluetooth and a place to store your phone, that will stay up-to-date and usable for years to come (check early-2000s high-end cars GPS and entertainment systems for a laugh).
Re the odometers, in my 2018 Volvo and my Wife's 2019 XC40. They are all accurate, but for different purposes.

1. The standard "life of the car" odometer is permanently on the left gauge, top reading

2. There is one (two?) manually resettable trip odometers

3. There is an auto-resetting trip odometer - it resets when the car has been off for four hours.

You can configure which of the second two are displayed by going to in-dash "app" menu and selecting what you want in the "Trip" tab. On my car, this configures the lower displays on the left and right gauges.

Update Re: your high beams - It sounds like you have them on auto. There's a spring loaded ring on the left-hand stalk that engages auto vs. manual high beam. Twist it and the light-with-an-A sign on your dash should change to a normal light symbol. You can then use the twist knob with detents to select parking light vs. low beam and whether you want auto-on or manual on. High beams are engaged by pushing the lever (or you can pull to flash).
If you want a dumb car, you should really consider the Nissan Frontier. The truck hasn't changed very much since the mid 2000s. I drove one as a rental for a while and it feels like a blast from the past.
Ad blocking is a security issue. When web sites start taking responsibility for their ad content, we can have a discussion on if it is "theft" or not. As long as they farm their ads out to third party providers and wash their hands of any of the security implications and responsibilities, I will continue to block them.

This is really really good. If you can build a collaboration ecosystem around this a kind of GitHub meets Seedlegals then you can create a huge amount of value and disrupt an industry.

Where do I invest?
8" backup camera screen aren't required. I've seen some as small as about 4". The standard requires only that a certain spacing/size of objects behind the car is at least a certain visual angle. Screens in rear view mirrors and just below the bottom edge of the windscreen abound.
Who wouldn’t pay $10,000-50,000 for a guaranteed FAANG job? There are some people out there that can absolutely pass every single interview. And if they look like you, especially over zoom, then how would they know?
As a researcher, although I love the idea of a pressure-free job, I'm also keenly aware that I'm being paid by tax money and therefore should be accountable for my productivity (or lack thereof). I would rather have more robust review of research activities, and reliable consequences for misconduct, than freedom from financial pressure.

I am also somewhat skeptical that removing funding pressure will reduce fraud. It may reduce the amount of show publications, i.e, work that doesn't really make any progress but isn't wrong either. But in my experience outright falsification of results comes from entitlement. A fraudster feels that they entitled to a certain level of achievement and recognition for it, and are willing to make something up when they're not getting that recognition. I believe that the pressure that drives a person to commit fraud is internal, not external.
Yes. In theory it would be the same but practically there are lots of gotchas. For a simple example, having a calculated cache on startup that five seconds would be fine on a traditional server but not on lambda.

I guess it depends on what the person is doing. A guy with a stick won't be negotiating timelines and requirements, explaining why things can't / won't / weren't done, dealing with fallout or shifting the requirements / timelines of others based on teams productivity.

Do they need to be the one with hiring/firing/promotion/rewards authority? I don't know.
Point 3 about limited need starts falling apart in cities. Sure, in the suburbs you can put chargers in your garage. But in cities people need to use the super chargers regularly because their apartment complex only has one charger per hundred cars or something similar, and the percentage of EVs keeps growing.

Aren't dumb cars going to completely go away once the transition from ICE to EV is finished? I could see them being like antiques or something, but they wouldn't really be economically viable to produce anymore. And of course, the fact that dumb cars would be more expensive to produce is just a side effect of digital being cheaper than analogue after a certain about of development.
