Tesla's charging is different because they created their charging infrastructure before anyone else. The first supercharger was built in 2012. Despite Tesla open sourcing their patents[1], other EV manufacturers used different standards. Also Tesla is starting to let non-Teslas use their superchargers.[2] All Teslas can use other charging stations, though they'll charge slowly. Newer Teslas (since late 2019) have support for the high speed Combined Charging System standard and Tesla is rolling out CCS adapters.[3] Lastly, most EV charging happens at home using level 1 or level 2 systems, which are standard NEMA plugs that Tesla sells adapters for.

If Tesla's goal was to lock-in their customers and exclude other vehicles, they seem to be doing all the wrong things.

So much of it's making companies pay to be at the actual-top, when they're already result 1 or 2 in the natural results and are obviously what the searcher wanted. I go out of my way not to click these but most people I observe do click them, even when the non-ad link is also above the fold. That's a "success" for Google, maybe a "success" for the company's marketing department, a loss for the company in fact, and at best neutral for the searcher.

Then there's tricking (largely) old people into clicking pages they didn't want, thinking it was a search result. Sometimes even scams.

IMO Google's core business model has become scamming advertisers, helping scammers to fool unsophisticated users, and extorting companies, all heavily driven by their inline ads move. I consider them contemptible for continuing it for years when they have to know that's the case, and likely have all along.

I hate seeing the same on DDG—and they seem to be getting worse. It must be super effective, but of course tricking people is effective. It's also very, very wrong.
> the 1.5 hour Marvel film almost certainly took more human hours in the input side than virtually any video game

I'm not sure what you mean.

A big Marvel movie costs around $300m-$500m to produce, these days. AAA videogames can go over $300m-$400m I believe. It's basically the same ballpark, as far as input costs go. However, a film results in 2h of output enjoyment for a consumer, whereas games get several multiples of that.
That's a good point. A think where it fail is that some candidates are not applying to classical channels (such as latin american) so recruters are not seing them.
TLDR: It's a regular domain name. It looks like a domain name. There is no specific extension for GNS.

GNS is intended to replace DNS (in a backwards-compatible way) at the ICANN level so if it was ever adopted facebook.com would resolve (by following public key PKEY records, not IP/DNS NS records) using GNS.

In addition, a neat feature of GNS is the hyper-hyper local root. So if you add your friend alice's PKEY in your local root as "alice", then you could resolve whatever in her zone as whatever.alice. But can this not be achieved with DNS already, you may wonder? Two differences:

1) resolution is by public key, so you don't need to keep a mapping of all your friends' nameserver IPs

2) it's intended as a recursive mechanism where you can advertise your favorite domains on your own zone, so for example if i publish The Pirate Bay's public key in my zone in a tpb record, hypothetical tpb.tofu.net will still resolve properly

All in all, GNS is so far the only credible alternative to DNS i've read about, if only because both the protocol and the zonefile syntax are backwards-compatible with DNS.
Rules cannot be copyrighted. I can make a Wordle clone right now and as long as I don't reuse assets/names there's nothing they can do about it. See also 2048, which is a clone of 1024, which is a clone of Threes.
In one of the updates, they mention that they hope they'll be able to get company equipment (presumably a computer/laptop) back from "John". So I'm sure the "spying" software (pretty standard fare for most corporate IT departments) was on company hardware, not personal hardware.

If a company said I could bring my own laptop, but that I'd have to install their "security" software on it, I would definitely decline. Ditto for an MDM on my phone.
And they’re in this predicament precisely because they built unaffordable car-first infrastructure in the first place. Saying that they can’t afford the more cost-effective option (walk, bike, tram) is just icing on the cake.
I don't have much I want to bring up to my manager in 1:1s but I still prefer to have them as a manager myself. So 1:1s definitely never felt unreasonably effective. Never thought to optimize it tho.

Anything of value or importance has to be written down, it is a short objective statement, usually a few lines. And then pursuing those over time (1 to several weeks or months) and having accountability check-ins. This would make 1:1s very formal and 1:1s usually seem better as casual conversations.
An HP Thin Client might be nicer in some ways (x86 instead of ARM, say) but the lack of GPIO wouldn't make them a replacement for some RPi projects (and I haven't ever tried to install Debian or Ubuntu on one, not sure how unusual the hardware is).

Well... it does come out to smidge over 3lb/week weight loss. Most healthy weight loss puts a cap at 2lb/week so he's not wrong. I understand your sentiment though.
When I was in the market for a GPU (last September, bought a 3070ti) I found youtube channels with live tickers of GPU stock notifications.
Where do you get "bet a bit of money"? The article says "he was gambling away the family 401(k) on his phone." It also says "I started doing it compulsively. I would win $5,000 and say, ‘Now I know what I am doing.’" So he was making individual bets of thousands of dollars. Since he as doing it "compulsively" that probably means more than one such bet per day. Doesn't sound like a "bit of money" unless this guy was extremely wealthy.
Automatic climate control has been around for about 40 years and common for 20 years. There is no excuse for not getting it right in 2022. I had cars 20 years ago that had great auto climate control.
> “celebrating their racial identity” by acting indistinguishably from white Americans. Ok kids.

Now you make the same mistake as all those other race baiters by referring to "white Americans" as a group which acts in a specific way. Would that be white Americans from Portland, Oregon, white Americans from Ketchikan, Alaska, white Americans from San Mateo, California or white Americans from the Ozarks?

I'm of Dutch heritage but I live in Sweden. The Netherlands is about 350km north to south, give or take a bit. There is a marked difference in culture between someone from Groningen (the northern-most province) and Limburg (the southern-most), so much so that I (who come from Utrecht, somewhere in the middle) was told in a carnival-parade that "I do not speak to 'Hollanders' (people from anywhere but the southern-most provinces)" by an older woman in Limburg. She was as "white" as I am but she clearly felt we did not have much in common. All that because she heard by my accent that I'm not from Limburg. She would not have said that to an Asian-looking man who spoke Limburgs - and all that within a span of 350 km north to south.
Yes. Yes Yes yes. Status code is important beyond your eyes and your hand-rolled api interactions.

I can't believe the people here saying "fuck it, I always return 200"
I miss them. I uninstalled mine after taking on more design responsibilities. Experiencing end-user inconveniences in-context is beneficial to design work. Profiling data and emulator testing won't viscerally inspire the "hold on— this is a bridge too far" interventions Conde Nast should have cultivated.

For example, if you were making a transit app, a savvy iPhone 13 ProMax user with a top-tier data plan will see very different problems (or at least see different priorities) on their commute than your Uncle Sidney with his belt-holstered, used, Samsung Galaxy J2 running on Ting Mobile. They're both important, but in the tech world, you have to dig a lot deeper to get the Uncle Sidney perspective.
I've seen very little evidence that representatives have any special understanding of issues. Have you ever watched congress ask tech people questions? Taibbi and Greenwald do excellent real journalism and dive extremely deep into the topics they cover, whether it be wall street, nsa, etc. I can understand the backlash against Rogan to a degree because he's a comedian talking about things over his head at times, but I'm saddened by the way the woke mobs have turned on good journalism from Taibbi and Greenwald because they won't toe the party line. Ive yet to hear coherent criticism of those two other than an emotional "fuck those guys"
Glad the guy made bank from it. I'd literally had a few worried minutes about the injustice of making something so viral and it not e.g. translating to more security health and happiness for his family.
It’s more capital efficient to let Docker do it instead of your org replicating their work, paying someone internally to do it.

That's a very good point, but there really isn't a reason to not have both. The button can be a bit hidden at that point if it's considered a "backup".
While that is a part of it, I have also heard that the virality was somewhat forced by journalists writing about wordle endlessly: as fans of word games themselves, journalists boosted its popularity in the earlier days, driving a lot of the 'viral' traffic.
HTTP URLs and HTTP methods are two very different things, somewhat conflated in that the browser treats URLs in the URL bar as a shorthand for generating a GET. While URL encodings are well standardized for general use in RFCs the parsing into an HTTP GET when entered into the URL bar is not, it's just good UI. The same would be said about the QUERY method standard, it's not about describing how the browser UI should allow making such a request header just what a valid one is.

Idk, being incredibly toxic and/or racist online doesn‘t seem particularly smart to me, in the case of getting doxed or caught on social media at work I would rather defend my questionable taste in music and hobbies to my boss rather than actual vile or racist comments.
> The moment you start doing this, git becomes the better solution, no?

You think J. Random Lawyer is going to learn, and use, git? ROFLMAO — half the lawyers around don't even know how to use styles in Word, and they think the way to add spacing between paragraphs is to leave a blank line.
Why downvote my experiences?
Especially things like wood-working and chain-sawing videos. Downvotes and critical comments are key if you want to keep your fingers and your head.
Yeah, I was thinking the same. In a big enough company, you can spend 3-6 months "onboarding" while drawing a paycheck and not having to do enough to get found out as a fraud. Even after the onboarding period, a skilled fraudster might find a way to blend in and hide if the circumstances are right. Or the company might have a policy (from legal) not to just fire people on the spot, but instead put them on a PIP and/or collect months of documentation of poor performance before doing letting them go.

Even if they fail to last, they've still been drawing a paycheck for maybe 3-6 months (or more?), and that might be an acceptable "win".
You wouldn't even come close to breaking even from display/search ads like you mentioned. Advertisers would rather pay a lot more for pre-roll video ads, even if the user doesn't click. Those video ads usually result in a much higher ROAS. And people searching for funny cat videos on YouTube is a hell of a lot harder to categorize and monetize than traditional SERP.
Fair enough, but you didn't just miss nuance, you inserted novel events.
>so I would imagine they have the developer skills to recreate Wordle

To be fair, I think most averagely skilled developers could copy Wordle within a very short time. I am very much reminded of the game 2048 though. While it definitely was a fad too, it still has a huge base of players even now. So maybe the NY Times sees some potential there.
If I remember rightly it was even messier than that. You see the note at the top of that file about how the Version 2.0 template requires preservation of message numbers? Well, I think in the original version most of the messages were assigned IDs based on where they ended up in some internal hashtable used by the code, or something equally fragile and dependent on the exact contents of the message template file - so even unused messages would change around the message IDs. The new format did at least make it possible to add messages without instantly breaking all compatibility...
There is one freemium model for Wordle that has seemed obvious to me since the first time I launched it on a laptop after playing the first few on mobile: sync. The emphasis on historical play data and streaks make portable continuity a premium good for this particular game.

I had actually kind of been hoping Wardle would have the same idea and that I would at some point be able to pay a few dollars a year for an account I could sign into to keep my Wordle career in sync. It looks like that account will now be an NYT account, and while it won't make me a subscriber by itself, it's one more benefit to weigh in potentially subscribing at some point.
Their next game is called 'Matter' and is purportedly more akin to Overwatch than Destiny. 2025ish is the current estimate.
Let's remember that Yemen is under effective blockade by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia with the US and gulf allies; and that people are starving and dying because of this fact - in addition to the bombardment of civilian targets, and civilians, by KSA.

And this was the case already 4 years ago, see:

https://www.dw.com/en/yemen-is-the-biggest-humanitarian-disa...

and some recent UNHCR info:

https://www.unhcr.org/yemen-emergency.html

so, with respect to the interesting financial situation - bear that in mind.
Wouldn't it depend more on how well-chosen the target protein is? If it mutates too fast the vaccine won't be as effective. This says nothing about the effectiveness of the mRNA technique though, which seems to reliable induce an immune response to the target protein.
> When's the last time you saw a broken-down car by the side of the road, and is this happening more or less often than 20 years ago?

The same? Cars 20yrs ago were already very reliable compared to say 30-40yrs ago. And breakdowns observed 20 yrs ago were mostly cars that were aleady old then.

If I see a broken down car now (which is rare anyway), it could almost be age from 30+yrs old to new. There doesn't seem to be a pattern with age. Adjusting for 20yr old cars having 20yrs more wear and tear, you would expect a pattern correlating with age. I wonder what todays cars are going to seem like in 20yrs?

Note: I'm not in the US or Europe, so my observations of the car population may be different to those that are. My cars have usually been 15-20 yrs old Japanese models, bought cheaply 2nd hand, mostly neglected, but still very reliable machines.
And then there's turnover. People might just never get to know those people. Some may proactively avoid contacts through various means so nobody steps into their office only to realize nothing happens.
I came across this trick once that worked to shrink a bunch of PDF files I needed to get up to meet a grant deadline. Convert it to postscript with poppler, and back to PDF with ghostscript. YMMV. http://tingletech.github.io/pdftrick/
Marathon felt like such a huge deal at the time, with its funky triangular prism box, its hyperliterate storyline, and its novel network multiplayer modes. And yet it seems to get little to no airtime in video game nostalgia mythology.

Maybe it was just too niche as a Mac game.
http/2 is faster (for various technical reasons but basically it sends multiple things at once better than old http) and http/2 requires security.

So technically http/2 is faster, but it is only possible with https.

Can somebody tell me how to generate one of these certificates? I can't find a button on the page at all to do it and I feel like a moron, since everyone and their dog is posting them on Twitter.
> Not at all a separate issue. The issue is the absolute fantasy that HTTPS makes your connection secure.

HTTPS is reasonably secure if the person in control of the domain is making sure it is reasonably secure. Setting up your whole domain to be MITM is not that.

Your connection to whatever place the person in control of the domain has delegated your connection to is reasonably secure.
The Button was pretty cool. I really love the UX on Wordle. Can't really explain why but it's just so pleasant to use.
Do I read that right?
1 in 1000 are false positives?

That is no authentication scheme then.
> The number of people who have actually used this lever is incredibly small.

Where can I go to a shop and buy, e.g., a laptop with Linux? It's practically impossible. I guess it's because the monopolies don't allow anyone to enter the market. In practice, Linux is already better for many use cases.
It's easy to find information on all sides of the vaccine debate on Amazon. Just search for "vaccines" in books and they're all mixed together. Surely Young must disagree with many of them. Doesn't this put Amazon in the same position as Spotify? Why doesn't Young withdraw from Amazon for the same reason?
I don't think the majority of hires at large companies in the past were corrupt. Certainly that hasn't been my experience hiring people at large tech orgs in the present, and the process hasn't changed terribly much really. Given the scarcity of technical ability, we simply can't afford the corruption.

You seem to be discounting the meritocratic process by which people end up graduating from high-ranking schools. Prestigious law firms for instance will only consider graduates from specific institutions, specifically because they act as a filter for talent and ability.

You also seem to be conflating the hiring of people who are culturally similar to corruption. In fact there are many benefits in collaborating in a culturally homogenous environment. Maintaining such an environment in order to reap those benefits has merit too.
> Genuinely, used.

Where?
Yeah, your point about needing to own the entire stack in this case makes perfect sense, and to be honest, I didn't qualify what I said well at all at the time. When I left the interview I had that sense of "damn, why did I say something so strange with no explanation of where I'd seen this or argument against it". There could have been a conversation about it, but my response just made the interviewer tick the 'no' box.
I believe a system could be designed that would be resilient to these and other problems. If we don't even try, we will never know what is possible.
I heavily disagree with your analogy. In your parallel you are obviously assuming that there is a contract in place. And by covering my ears and eyes I'd be obviously breaking the contract and would have to pay the pizza or get punished in an appropriate manner. If there isn't a contract and the pizza place would just give you a pizza and some ads, and you ignore the ads, that would be completely legal and in no way or form theft.

Now the thing with websites is, there is no contract. You just ask them for some content and they give you the content + ads. I'm free to ignore the ads. A good parallel would be a local newspaper that gets send for free to everyone, but also includes ads. I'm completely free to ignore the ads in this case. I would also be allowed to build a sorting machine that sorts out the ads before I ever have a chance to look at them. That's obviously no theft, after all they gifted it to me!

And this is exactly what most websites are. They send me free content and include some ads, without any contractual obligation. If they don't want me to just see the content without looking at the ads, they can always set up a contract requiring me to look at the ads. Or only show me the content after I've seen the ads. Or do anything else, that isn't just sending me content and ads without any obligations.

But until they do that, it's definitely morally right and legal to sort out the ads, just like I do with my local newspaper.

And something that I want to touch on seperately because it really annoys me. It's completely ridiculous to speak about "theft". Theft always requires actively taking something. The taking part is really important when speaking about theft. But I'm not taking something from websites, I am asking for it and the website freely gifts it to me. On HN I'd really expect people to know how HTTP requests works. I'm not evading access controls, I'm not forcing them to give me the content, I'm not sneakily taking it away, I'm not hacking into their systems to take it.

I ask via the official way to ask for the content and they decide to send it to me. What I then do with the content on my local system is completely irrelevant and I have to right to modify it however I want, as long as I don't make it public or use it commercially obviously.
No ads, no pay to play, no upgrades, no sign in, no social graph, takes 2 minutes per day, everyone plays the same/one puzzle per day, unwritten rules you don't ruin it for others, etc etc. The perks are great, I hope the NYT doesn't change it. I could take an ad, but changes to anything else might make me stop playing.

That’s right. I would usually reach for Typer for CLIs. I chose Click because I wanted to extend the —-help and I wasn’t certain If Typer exposed the internals.
I am pretty sure OP was sarcastic and you missed it over text.
I don't want to introspect response bodies when I can introspect the status. If I'm given 429, I can automatically do something based on that. If I need to introspect the response body I have to say "okay, look inside Joe's api and look for key Foo. But in Sally's api, look for key Bar. And in Mike's api look for key Baz. And...."

I think its objectively worse that I, as the engineer, need to handle all of them differently when they all could have returned to me 429 instead and I could write a general wrapper for that.
