A promise isn't a contract, so whether it's actually guaranteed in the language in whatever agreements may be signed, will be the determining factor.

And how the automative industry has functioned since its existence is risk-benefit-cost analysis, so if the cost of a future fallout is less than the short-term benefit then they tend to decide for the short-term benefit; most disgustingly in regards to known problems of vehicles, where only recalls happen if the potential harm/death rate and the cost of that is lower than the cost of replacing whatever needs to be replaced; I'd hope that practice has greatly improved, but who knows - most of our government agencies seem captured by industrial complexes.

Money is fake, it's an abstraction made of cheap throw away goods (what money is printed on) used as a representation for real resources. I personally wouldn't count it as relevant but it does buy access to what is relevant.

I would add to your list, some of the finite resources I can think of that's wasted here is labor per human per year. The labor of those boat builders. It's an opportunity cost type of waste.
Well said. I'd add that the EU has for decades been a convenient scapegoat for member governments to point to, when "forced" by the EU to do things that needed doing but are politically difficult. Think of all the national champions forced to live by market rules, like flag carriers, telecom monopolies etc.

Well, not always. And sometimes many stone-cold, rational people flash money. Just to improve business.

A friend of mine was perfectly happy with his shit of a car even though he could afford something much better.

Then he started a business. A business that involved communicating and meeting with people very outside of our tech or liberal/vegan/minimalist/generic-dominant-fad bubbles.

These people cared about the car he drove. They did not want to be seen or meeeting or seen with someone with a shitty car or using a cab. Perception mattered, and business was hurt.

Then, that friend bought a BMW just to drive it to meetings. He also keeps his old car and drives for personal use.

There might be some people, important to Bezos's business that care about where they meet with him. Bezos wants it to be a yatch.

Can't blame him without more information.

He might be a money-flashing, wealth-displaying rich asshole. But I am willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.
Ask HN: Does the web Outlook “eat keystrokes” for you?
I am a frequent user of the web version of Outlook hosted at https://outlook.office.com/mail/

On some days, Outlook decides to eat keystrokes. I'm constantly battling the email editor to type what I need to type. Sometimes, it gets worse because it will reinterpret my keystrokes as activated shortcuts like delete or archive an email.

Does this happen to anyone else? I'm using Firefox.

It really seems fine on some days and completely unusable on others. I've disabled all intelligent/predictive features because those features made it worse, but now even with those all disabled, the problem persists although to a lesser degree.

I've gotten desperate enough with the issue I wondered if anyone else experienced them.

I got the email two days ago, I'll be honest I'm super pissed.

Like many others I've offered my family an email address under my custom domain. They've tied their phone to it, and are now using it for Email, Drive and Photos.

This decision will force me to pay $300+ per year, which I cannot afford. I have to tell my family that they need to find another email/drive host, and transfer 15+ years of data over there. My mom and dad are 70, they'll never be able to do that.

I'm afraid for the photos especially. The last 15 years of our lives are stored on Google's servers. And they're offering absolutely no way out. There's no tool to migrate all this to a regular Gmail account. Basically we're fucked.
If I go on holiday, I’m not mis-allocating 100s of millions of dollars. I simply don’t have the power to do that, and maybe nobody should to prevent this kind of issue in the first place.
A major hurdle I found as a beginner in programming was the lack of immediate reward. I was studying Automate the
Boring Stuff as my first text, and it took around six months of slow but steady studying to understand and retain the first of two parts of the book.

The material was about the fundamentals of programming (loops, lists, dictionaries). I found it hard to stay focused because the applications and usefulness of the concepts weren’t immediately obvious (any problem I could solve at that point could easily be solved better with a ‘no-code’ solution). Some of the concepts also took a few days to understand, while I was struggling with maintaining motivation.

I’ve since used other learning materials, and now I better understand why new programming courses nowadays (like Harvard’s CS50) like to start their courses with the Scratch language. It communicates earlier the usefulness of the fundamentals (e.g. using if and while statements to animate a cartoon character).

This lack of immediate useful application (until months of study later) might not be the only reason, but it may well be a major one. It can cause people to give up even if they are diligent and dedicated in other fields (where the rewards arrive earlier).

I don't even use LO that much, and I'm panic saving in cycle every time I do because it crashes of me so often. Hell, it crashed on me this week, on a 5 pages doc with images, text, one table and a few titles. Nothing fancy.

I keep reading people saying it's stable for them, but I've was using it already when it was called OOo, before we had docx support, before docx even existed.

And it always has been this buggy.

I donate to the project, I report bugs, I keep advising people to use it.

But still, either I'm incredibly unlucky, or people are just ignoring all the crashes and became blind to them.

Which is a phenomenon I'm seeing a lot in the FOSS world: power users just don't see the bugs anymore because they work around them to easily and effortlessly, almost automatically. It doesn't help getting the software to a better state, nor does it inspire confidence to the new comers we oversell stability to.

So really, really, like the last 10 times you used LO, are you sure there was no problem at all?
Perhaps that is true. Or perhaps having an ideal of objectivity can increase objectivity, and abandoning such an ideal dooms us to exactly what you are describing.
They don't know. But if evidence comes up showing a company didn't then they will take legal action against that company, in which case intent to break the law from the would be crystal clear so they would get maximum fines which are huge for GDPR.

It isn't like laws prevents all crimes, the goal is to reduce illegit data usage, there is nobody who thinks it can ever get completely stamped out.
So, I realize Tesla (and its fans) are often guilty of over-hyping, but the lead should be "Tesla Australia" (a considerably smaller deal than if it were Tesla generally, or a larger market like US or China), and it seems more like some lower-level intern picked the wrong number off the spreadsheet to send to the government bureau functionary, than a case of over-hyping. This time.

You say that, but Zack Morris (not real name) champions Pump and Dumps every week or so. They might not all work for him, but he pushes a new one, and makes (from what he discloses) millions on them. If you pay something like $250/mo, you can get early access to his buys and get notified when he sells.

I've watched this guy singlehandedly pump a penny stock to 10x its value in days before dumping. Not sure how he doesn't get arrested or investigated by the SEC, but its common place for him and his "crew" Atlas Trading.
> It seems like many journalists are failing in their primary responsibilities to keep the public informed.

I would argue that that is not their primary responsibility. That is, in fact, to put food on the table.

Journalists are not well paid and, more importantly, are easily replaceable. "Real journalism" is hard, but makes no money, while pop-journalism is very easy and profitable. So media companies demand and pay for pop-journalism. And that can be done by far too many people.

So blaming them for doing what they need to do to get paid when doing "real journalism" will get them fired is... pointless.
This would be what I ideally think should happen, a product hits a happy place and is finished.

It seems, though, that when working in a business that you'll have many users with many use cases, you'll be competing with other software companies, the temptation is there to add the one feature more to please the user or compete a little better.

this becomes a very specific problem each group of developers / business must answer and maybe the ideal case becomes less realistic to achieve or at least have a general answer for.
As long as Teslas regularly crash into stationary objects because they have no depth sensing system and rely only on camera images, I wouldn't call the perception part of the problem solved.
Considering this is publicly available data where such inflation would be outed as incorrectly almost instantly (here within 24 hours) it seems to me their explanation where they accidentally added 2020 and 2021 sales together seems plausible.

I wonder if theres any legal/financial repercussions. I'm no expert but I would guess that an error of overreporting sales by 25% for a company this big in the US would surely upset the SEC?

That is not what telemetry does. Useful features that are hidden aren't distinguished from useless features people don't use. Features that are used rarely but are super important aren't distinguished from features that don't work well.

Feature usage is a poor proxy for usefulness, importance, usability, visibility; it confounds them all.

I went and looked at the code (it's linked in the article). You absolutely can put a timeout around a case/switch statement. There's like 5 different ways to do it. And the code calling network syscalls can also have timeouts, obviously; otherwise nobody would ever be able to time out any blocked network operation. This is all network programming 101.
The line drawn is a bit thin there since investigative journalism necessarily involves whistleblowers or asking pointed questions based on tips. Trump had Obama to show him the true way of suppression and merrily followed in his footsteps.

https://www.nytimes.com/2016/12/30/opinion/sunday/if-donald-...

Under Mr. Obama, the Justice Department and the F.B.I. have spied on reporters by monitoring their phone records, labeled one journalist an unindicted co-conspirator in a criminal case for simply doing reporting and issued subpoenas to other reporters to try to force them to reveal their sources and testify in criminal cases.
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/doj-invoked-espionage-act-i...

Dana Priest, a Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter for The Washington Post, added: “Obama’s attorney general repeatedly allowed the F.B.I. to use intrusive measures against reporters more often than any time in recent memory. The moral obstacles have been cleared for Trump’s attorney general to go even further, to forget that it’s a free press that has distinguished us from other countries, and to try to silence dissent by silencing an institution whose job is to give voice to dissent.”

Fast and Furious involved a sting operation that the Justice Department and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives concocted to infiltrate and weaken Mexican drug cartels. The scheme entailed shipping traceable guns to the drug trafficking gangs and then following the trail to identify and neutralize those organizations and the kingpins who ran them. But Operation Fast and Furious backfired badly. Law enforcement personnel assigned to maintain the traces lost track of where the weapons ultimately ended up. The cartels received more than 1,700 additional weapons at the expense of US taxpayers. Not surprisingly, the Obama administration sought to conceal the nature and extent of the fiasco. Invoking “executive privilege,” Attorney General Eric Holder even defied a congressional subpoena and refused to testify before a House committee investigating the Fast and Furious scheme.

But yes, Obama==GOOD, Trump==BAD

>IE: We do have other places we could do this work, but just not as cheaply as we can do it here, by inconveniencing the local population for days by removing their bridge.

The bridge is a monument and does not carry traffic.

If it did carry traffic they would almost certainly have said no or required it be an overnight job. Overnight temporary removal of infrastructure like that is common in the world of hauling very bulky industrial things.
The negative bias of Tesla here on HN is ridiculous. Why is this in the top 20 stories on HN right now?
I agree with all of that, but on the other hand doesn't Oceanco have some pressure on it to actually deliver the product?

If Rotterdam's government went all "sure we'll hack the bridge for you, but it's going to cost €15 million, and we need to know 3 months in advance" or whatever [1], I wouldn't expect Oceanco to go "no way, we're moving out, you can say bye-bye to N jobs and some high-profile on-brand industry presence" because then the actual customer paying Oceanco €450M or whatever will be like "cough cough excuse us, but where is our yacht?". I imagine the contract-breaching fines on not delivering a yacht in this price range are in the "hefty+" range. Right?

(Edited for brevity believe it or not.)

NYT promotes itself as "the paper of record", holding itself out as the standard of truth. Its failings are thus similarly iconic.
People don't care about a lot of things. Mainly because they don't understand them, or don't know about them: climate change, cancerous substances, plastic waste, homeless people, illegal whaling, domestic cats killing singing birds, sewing winter clothing or properly managing their savings.

That is why we have subject matter experts providing guidance for people in a world too complex to grasp or even care about everything they have to deal with. People _shouldn't have to care_, as long as they can trust on those experts to do the right things. We're the experts. Advertising companies are ruining the internet for everyone, some people are just too unaware to realise it.

This is much ado about nothing.
Some crazy figures here:

The maximum fine for such a breach is 4% of the company's global revenue.

Microsoft, in 2021, turned over $168Bn.
Google turned over $181.69Bn.
Amazon turned over a staggering $457.96.

Between them they had a combined turnover of $807.65Bn, making them liable for a fine of up to $32.3Bn per year (assuming revenue is flat and they all get hit for the maximum penalty and don't do any kind of damage limitation).

The EU general budget in 2019 was only €148.2Bn. So such a fine would actually cover nearly 20% of the running cost of a 27 member multilateral trading entity with a population larger than the United States.
A nice idea, but unfortunately that's not how resource allocation works.
I really like how GitLab allows you to disable the container registry, issue tracker, CI and every other module if you don't use/need it. IMO this should be the way to introduce new features where at all possible.
