The horn thing doesn't seem like that big a deal actually. I've never used the horn in a potential accident situation because there's always something better I could be focusing on to avoid the accident. As pilot say: aviate, navigate, then communicate. [0] Some studies seems to support that [1].

The only accidents I can imagine the horn preventing are ones where you are stationary, which almost always means the other car is moving slowly - like somebody backing into you in a parking lot. Overall pretty low consequence incidents.

So to the extent that horn use is nearly all elective rather than emergency, is antisocial and has few benefits: make it a small, hard-to-reach button.

(With important exceptions like heavy vehicles that can't maneuver well and non-Western driving cultures that rely on routine horn use to communicate intentions.)

[0] Granted aircraft have an extra dimension to play in for collision-avoidance.

That's exactly what I do for a living. Charging clients $10k+ for an E-Commerce audit. However agency owner (you) needs to build trust and authority first to sell such a service.

I'm glad you like it!
If you're "interviewing" at an extremely large and likely dysfunctional organization, it can probably work out. You might get placed on a random team completely divorced from those you interviewed with. I've known guys who've taken jobs and done nothing for months and months. It's sad. I've also seen people quit after two days!
Try your favorite image search engine and query "manual seat height adjustment" and you'll find dozens of brands that have this. Most use a lever that you pump up or down to adjust the height. Some use a dial.
I think the human interest story is sadder than you realize. In addition to being a gambling addict, Delany is also a Jets fan.
> They promised they would give me free housing at their luxury apartment for the first few months and give me all the training I need to excel in areas of my interest

My training at a consultancy company, first job out of college, was like this but actually legit. Nice hotel with a free breakfast, transportation to their facility, and actual (paid) training on a few things, lasting a month. At the end I was put on a client to work for. Pretty good salary for a first job too.

So if a company offers this stuff, it's not necessarily a red flag, just do some research on them. It can be a great springboard if you don't have any better offers.
There were a few of these. But you're probably thinking of The Palace Chat. Or maybe Microsoft Comic Chat.

Glad to see this up in the comments. This is why I hate so many internet discussions, in that they are deliberately made in bad faith, even when the general topic under discussion is valid.

It's quite clear to anyone who has used Google over the past decade that:

1. When you search for anything remotely commercial, your first page is essentially all ads, especially on mobile. It used to be possible that, if you were a site but had the top spot in Google for a commercial term, you had a great opportunity. That is no longer the case now, in that you are forced to pay "the Google tax", because there will be 4-5 ads above your primary search position if you don't pay for an ad.

2. Over time Google has made the distinction between organic results and ads much less clear. All you get now is teeny bolded "Ad" text in the upper left corner, everything else looks the same.

These are valid criticisms. Saying "Google critiqued the practice of displaying ads above search results" is simply not true based on the poster's own linked screenshot.
Even if they did you think the average person is going to put their neck on the line over ads?

How many UX designers just give into client demands, how many devs work extra hours to make up for bad management practices? How many managers are under pressure over sales created deadlines? How many sales people are under pressure over the company's target numbers?

There will always be a few people who are willing to put their neck on the line but it'll require a culture shift before any momentum builds up and most feel comfortable protesting these practices at their workplace.
This. Read the docs, do a tutorial, start implementing, run into obscure issues, performance problems, or missing features on Stack overflow that are unresolved years later.
That doesn't make sense to me. I watched some pedestrian crash test videos, there is no energy absorption by the bumper. It's bad news to be hit by any car. (I'm no Tesla fanboy)
They have been for jeez, I think almost 20 years now? That's what pushed me solidly into the adblock (and then ublock) camp; the fact that the advertising industry has never been willing or able to police itself against bad actors and malware.
> As I said, there are hundreds of examples on that site.

In that article or in the whole site? Because the article just seems like different notation, no great improvements.

> In many cases for example it's sufficient to know that an operation is associative to perform some manipulation

Whenever that's the case, mathematicians have already found a way to use notation to that advantage. See for example the case of groups and rings, where the operations are usually denoted by '+' and '·' (addition and multiplication) even when they might not necessarily be those operations just because it makes operations more intuitive.

> What does the following mean? What concepts must be held in mind to understand it?

Well, you need to know what the sinus is and what is addition. If you don't have those concepts it doesn't matter that I write sin(s + i + n) or 'The sinus of s plus i plus n' (not to mention that there's ambiguity there too, does 'of' refer to 's' or 's plus i plus n).

> On the other hand if one desires to make mathematics more accessible to persons of ordinary intelligence, then reducing the cognitive load by clearly defining the semantics of a formula using an unambigous syntax is certainly necessary. Evidently though that's of little importance to the mathematical guild.

Notation is not the issue when explaining mathematics. The mathematical guild has done a ton of effort in improving math education, and you'll be able to find videos and texts that barely have any notation or equations. Notation exists because once you learn the concepts, it reduces the cognitive load of transmitting those concepts.
It's a great game, it's entirely community driven so it's full of personality. However it did take a bit getting used to the weird sexual aspect of it, a lot of people living out odd fantasies. If you can filter through the weirdness, there's some amazing gems. I'd highly highly recommend the 3D movie theater.
This exists, but is rare and only for larger players. At the end of the day, if the end user can identify the DOM slot the ad goes into, it gets blocked either way. It'll forever be a cat and mouse game.
I did sort of miss losing blue tooth when switching to a newer work truck from a muscle car that had it. But it hasn't been an issue. I don't miss any of the other feature enough to pay for them (no key fob, no power seats, etc; but it has power windows and locks, so that's nice).

The quality of tactile representation and response on the knobs/buttons are not as good as my old 89 caprice was. But that's true of all cars today.
Did this guy get a warning?

I still find the wire transfer comparison lacking, mostly because one shitty design does not justify another.
You’re contradicting yourself. Where would you live right now if you weren’t renting?

You’re also creating artificial limitations. Nobody said you’re entitled to own the place your currently live, you’re creating that restriction. 200k gets you a whole lot of house in the south and Midwest. Choosing to live in a city and bitch about affordability is quite a millennial thing to do though, since you’ve already self-identified.

The 370Z was like that too and it was universally shit on for having a “dated interior”. People just love being contrarians
Ok I'm fat and I think this is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Changes in weight (without corresponding changes in diet or activity) can signal and number of conditions such as hypothyroidism or congestive heart failure. It is important to be weighed regularly to spot these trends. What might make sense is a "weigh me but skip the sermon on how fat I am" card.
How is it? Can you touch type with the keyboard or is it too small?
Consumer Reports does a great job at giving honest reviews. They go through multiple steps to ensure manufacturers don't know they're purchasing their products as well (to avoid getting beefed up 'review units').

And no, their service is not supported by ads - You have to pay for a subscription. Consumer Reports needs to be mentioned more IMO. Because even on reddit, there are companies that offer advanced stealth-like astroturfing campaigns for products/services.

The counterargument is that Consumer Reports could be intruded by corporate shills, but their reputation is solid and they've been around for a long time.

This looks neat. But how do I know this won't isnt malware itself (or will become malware in the future)
It makes sense in isolated situations, like Netflix recommending content based on previous content you liked on their platform. I think it becomes creepy once that data leaves the domain where I originally generated it.
Sure. OTOH lots of good coders don't do well in interviews; some good interviewers aren't really dependable employees long term. So here we have a case of specialization. Someone making good money doing what they are good at: technical interviews.

Not defending it. I think it sucks (and this happens for college admissions too).
Nope, boring technology is using the platform system language, Java.

Nothing extra to install, everything works out of the box, no need for FFI or incomprehensible stack traces.
> A GF may abuse this.

Then he's dodged a bullet by discovering this before he marries her. Either way, it's a no-lose situation.
Yes, this is a thing. And even more frequently, online assessments done by someone else. Somehow Java developers got hired who don't know the difference between Java and JavaScript.
Why don't they use higher quality motors that don't overheat? Never heard of a car with such an issue.
I do this too, but that behaviour has zero way of noticing false negatives.
You're right. Should've been "disclosure" instead.

This is one of the reasons why lawyers use templates, as a defense against brain farts where we write "disclaimer" instead of "disclosure."
They probably used him as an example because he runs a podcast on gambling addiction. It says he was gambling away his 401k, which sounds pretty serious. They may have also used him as an example to make it easier for gamblers who come across the article to find help.
It works on standalone quest hardware as well, but you'll be limited to the worlds you go to, and you will usually end up using people's "fallback" avatar.
I feel like we/you have to be missing something here. I've never heard of international data charges (in this context, traveling/roaming yes but never from US -> Elsewhere). FaceTime is just data, at worst you burned some cell data but it shouldn't matter if you are talking to a server down the street or across the world. You are sure you weren't just being charged for the data at a regular rate? If you can post a screenshot of the bill and if it says something like "International data" or similar that would help.
I like the tildeverse.

An assortment of pubnixes (I run one[1]! Well, technically only me atm, but others are welcome.), and an IRC network.

Edit: If one is interested, they should note that the tildeverse has a different culture than much of HN, and you should be aware of and respect that.

More than works fine - I prefer this spot so that I always look in the same place to see what's behind me whether I'm going forward or backward. Taking your eyes far away from any windows to focus on a tiny rearview camera view while reversing makes it hard to see other motion with peripheral vision.

Lots of after market mirrors support this, but admittedly I've only put them in cars that didn't have a camera to begin with.
There's also an iOS app for SponsorBlock now (safari extension.)
Agreed. This reads like those memes about men writing female characters..
I run adblockers on the browser and block tracking/ad networks at the DNS level. My kids really notice when they use internet elsewhere.
It's not just a thing, for some crooter firms it's a business model.

Gonna name and shame here, there was an outfit that was once called Unbounded Solutions, then BrighterBrain. God knows if they're still around or what they're called now. Anyhoo, their whole deal was this: they offered free IT training and job placement, but there was a catch! Oh, boy, was there ever a catch. They would put you through 2 weeks of iOS programming training, and then have you sign a 2-year contract to be at their disposal to go to client sites. As part of this, they would make up a fake CV for you with fake experience and -- crucially -- a fake telephone number. When companies called to interview you, they would be directed to a call center in India where one of the call center drones would do the interview in your place. Only once they had passed the phone screen for you could you show up at the client site. They may have sent a fake you to the client site for the in-person bit as well, I'm not sure.

As part of the contract you sign, you had to agree to all of this. If you refused to sign, or tried to skip your contract before 2 years was up, you had to pay for the training they gave you which they valued at $20,000.

One of the scummiest things I'd ever seen or heard of in this industry.

See also Youtube/Spotify/etc view/listen/impression farms. It really does make it so much noise, you can pretty much guarantee any large scale account is using these too and bot followers because it's an arms race for attention.
Personally I'm not that confortable on places like Discord and Slack since I can't keep up with the wave of messages. My replacements have been Facebook Groups, in the early days of FB they used to be so good but they fall out of fashion until recently (on my social sphere at least); some good specialty communities have emerged and they're awesome.

The only reason why I keep a FB account tbh.
How are the latest new ND miatas with regards to this sort of thing, anyway, if you know? The old NB and NA generation miatas (no idea on NC) were just wonderful perfect "dumb cars." Is it still good in the 2022 model year or has it been slightly ruined yet to any degree?
I hated that knob interface in my Mazda, and it seems less safe since I need to scroll and watch the screen to see when the item I want to click is highlighted. A touch screen seems less distracting. It's been a few years since I had it, but using it with Android Auto was super frustrating.
My wife and I have been eating vegan food during weekdays and then non-vegan during the weekends. I've found that for me that has been the best balance. The reason we started was for health reasons: All things equal, the normal amount of vegetables that we ate before was pretty small. We got a couple of easy vegan cookbooks and it has been quite good.

Another advantage for us is that, as a nutritionist friend told me, sometimes people eating Vegan find it difficult to consume their required daily calories. So, it translates in to having to eat "a lot" of vegan food, to get into the 1600 daily calorie intake for me. I've lost several Kilos since we started around 4 months ago.
What do you mean by modern? My understanding is that the rise of index funds has been the biggest trend in this space over the past 20-30 years. Riskier bets like individual stock picking, or "experts" that con others with dubious ways of predicting the future, have been around forever.
>not one that requires a color chart to determine who gets what.

Most of beneficiaries of affirmative action are white women.
I was wondering about this after running across a couple of people who I have no shadow of a doubt could not code a fizzbuzz solution that all our screens use. They did end up on PIPs and let go but I always wondered how they got in to begin with. (This was before Covid, too, but still unless you did biometrics and had in-person friends who could recognize a person I could see a stand-in coming in to help with the on-site interviews).
Tech has gone too far, imagine this trend going far down the road. Everything is a subscription. Life is on hold for software updates or missed payments to make the bulb to work when I ask Alexa to control the indigo-domo server to enable the in wall wiring switch controller to work. I hope this stuff gets a little easier and everyone finishes the work to unify the communications side.

I work IT, and while the automated hardware can be useful, it's not when it forces updates with magically bad timing.

I "used" to play games on a playstation, but not often enough... so every time I wanted to play it and had the time to... it needed some playstation update right now, and the time afforded to play was lost. Hello Steam. Nord VPN seems to need required reboot updates near weekly. I always ponder that the updates have to be less a required fix and more of a marketing related update.

Did you know most cars have a cell modem in them and send "home" the can-bus data so that the car makers can see how parts from xyz corp are working out for them.

Does the dish washer listen for people talking about it and how it's used? What does it send home?
The real question is, if you are going to autoplay a huge video is do video ad units perform better than anything else? Last I looked, video ads were pretty cheap, and didn't have good stories on conversion. Has that changed?

>” making real censorship more difficult to notice in the noise.”

Just about every debate about ‘censorship’ I’ve encountered ends up with people debating the meaning of the word itself. And, there is a sizable contingent of people asserting only the government can censor. It’s already too late.
Shooting an animal is only "cruelty" in the legal definition. People shoot and trap animals all the time without being psychopaths.

Wisconsin generally allows any land owner to shoot/trap coyote, beaver, fox, raccoon, woodchuck, rabbit, and squirrel.
I think the sentiment here is that the government needs to put money toward cleaning up its mess before selling these off to some unsuspecting rube.
Learning a language is a piece of cake, learning the ecosystem is another matter.
The person who showed up for work was described as "timid". Perhaps he hired a confident extrovert to do the interview, believing he'd be fine at the job once that stressful part was out of the way.
Yeah, no, it was a silly comment on my part; I was just nerdsniped by an unnecessarily weak repeating-key cipher. :)
If Textual is mouse aware (like Midnight Commander for example), you probably need to do it while the Shift key is pressed. If you prefer using the keyboard you can also use Shift+Control+C for copy and Shift+Control+V for paste.
I've switched to Brave, plus DNS level blocking with pihole.
That does not look safe at all; more like a fire hazard. This will send people to the ER with severe burns. Or worse.
I can't speak for the GP, but here's my answer:

I don't feel I'm owed anything. I just refuse to consume ads. Sometimes that means I pay a subscription fee. Sometimes I read it with my blocker on and the creator goes without revenue to get their message out. And sometimes the creator won't serve up their content unless I disable my blocker, so I shrug and turn my attention elsewhere.

The problem for creators is that there's a glut of content online. It's just way more than anyone needs. The best creators can afford monetize directly, the good ones can do custom ads integrated into their content, and the rest have to churn out clickbait, top 11 lists, and ludicrously "optimized" content laden with ad-network garbage. It sucks to be mediocre, but I don't feel I owe anyone that revenue stream.
I initially started to read this as a generic rant about DEI politics in university settings, but realized it's actually about a specific issue, diversity statements, how they're used, the fact there are scoring methods for them, and whether or not that is desirable.

Readers who are apt to dismiss this because of initial appearances (bad title really) might want to reread it. I think there's something worth thinking about in it even if you're a on board with DEI efforts on campuses in general.
Precisely why entrepreneurial movements will always contribute more to society rather than the strong institutional movement we currently have coming from the left.
I used to use adblockers but then certain websites stopped working and displayed banners saying to turn of my adblocker, so i did, and then it all seemed kind of pointless.

I don't think his point is to argue what's true. More like that he wants exposure for this idea that Elon is Satoshi. I'm still struggling to understand why this is a thing right now.
I read it as “at some point, it got way worse”.
The article mentions that unless all of the individual organisms die at the same time it is theoretically possible for the colony to live forever. I wonder if we have any way of telling how old a particular colony could possibly be?

You said motorway speeds, but then state you were on the Autobahn doing 100mph+. Most other jurisdictions/autoways this speed is illegal. I definitely see my battery going down massively at 80mph/130kph speeds+ on my non-Tesla EV.

In fact, going such speeds is probably massively inefficient for ICE cars as well, just that they're already incredibly inefficient already that you don't see much of a loss.
If you aren't actively inviting people to things and being turned down, start doing so. If you are actively being turned down, ask why, the answer will get you closer to where you'd like to be.
You may be correct, but I don't think the "letter of the law" is a particularly useful standard to judge Google by. So you can't pay to have your site ranked higher? Who even cares now? At this point you can pay Google to deploy dark patterns that trick people into clicking on ads thinking that they're actually organic results. In a sense that is even better than a higher page rating...
Sure. The Chicago tech slack is somehow pretty well maintained and has good conversations with just over 11K members. If it grew more than 100 I would be absolutely shocked.
I agree with an appropriate learning experience, but the docs are the stuff supposed to get one started:

The saddenning part that the majority of the drivers are very proud and enjoy their electronic windows.

Much like I enjoy the electric starter on the car, such that I do not need to crank it by hand to start it. I'm "proud and enjoy" my electric starter and windows, and make absolutely no apology for doing so. You want to warm your house with a fire started by flint and tinder, have at it; I'll be over here with my gimmicky heat pump.
