Good. I'm sick of foreign policy being determined by spreadsheets that say whether defending ourselves or others will be profitable.
Voting with your wallet seldom works if the only organization permitted on the buyer's side is individual. As other posters have noted, there's a great deal of lock-in and local monopolies.

> How many people are going to get rear ended because every Tesla stops at a stop sign now?

Probably not many, and they'll mostly be low-speed. And the person who follows to closely and doesn't brake at stop lights is 100% at fault in that situation. Why blame Tesla for following the law? If you think the law is stupid, get the vote out and change it.

I once got pulled over for driving 5 over the limit. There was a squadron of tens of motorcycle cops who pulled everybody over. I challenged the ticket in court, complaining that one cannot drive the speed limit on that road without other drivers getting aggro, and that I was driving with the flow of traffic. The judge did not care. He said it's my responsibility to follow the law. So, good luck.
I also work in education and agree. I have also had direct calls with the Feds who enforce accessibility, and their stance is evolving. The future trend is not going to be just "can it be used?", but "is the experience as smooth as it is for fully abled users?"

As an example, if you make mouse-based users do something in 2 clicks, but keyboard-based users tab through 100 elements to do the same thing, that is going to be flagged as not accessible even if it does pass WCAG validators.

As far as startup MVPs go, I agree completely that it isn't required on day one, but the design should take it into consideration to be ready for the future.

They do not change their mouse speed, their background image, their default browser. That's why a meme exists of people thinking the internet is the blue E icon on their desktop.

Just because most users don't use a thing doesn't mean it's not a useful thing to have. Even if almost never called the emergency services doesn't mean I don't want or need the ability to do so. Further, being able to adjust the cursor speed is great for improving accessibility.

What about what the users want to do? What entitles you to decide what is good for other people? That's just creepy as fuck.
Garamond as used by Apple in the 90s had an 80% aspect ratio as I discovered by experimenting with the version of Garamond I had at the time as supplied by the Electronic Font Foundry for Acorn RISC OS, the font rendering of which deserves more exposure.

> So the role of the regulation will be actually to forbid certain types of contracts, that limit the right for repair, not to grant this right.

That's actually what I think the title should of been. But that's my own opinion.

"Senate introduces bill to forbid farming contracts that limit right to repair"

I get that, it's just a titling thing. Even framing the discussion in that way is not only a more accurate description of what's happening (as you've elaborated) but it lands better (if you were looking at this as a libertarian type perspective).

Anyway, it's just a thing that irks me is all.

Are there stats that even show that any self driving system is safer than the median driver?

Basically accidents involve two people. Said accidents have responsibility divided between both individuals.

A hypothetically perfect driver could still be involved in fatal accidents by virtue of the other driver.

The worse drivers obviously will cause these accidents.

The questions are three fold:

1. Are self driving vehicles safer than the median driver?

2. What’s the ratio between at fault and not at fault for any accidents the median driver gets in?

3. What’s the same ratio for self driving cars?

Normalizes for location, of course.

I went through the same journey some years ago. Now sharing my ASN 57821 with friends. We use OpenBSD for edge routing validate RPKI as well. My motivation was that I couldn’t get IPv6 otherwise.

That's some heavy cherry picking though. Lots of well drawn anime out today.
That sounds both amazing and a bit wasteful of paper, though if it's more of a magazine than a newspaper, I might have to try that out! I definitely don't need a permanent bound copy of some random Atlantic or Vox article.
>Modern digital cinema capture has nearly film-like dynamic range.

NEARLY is not EQUALs. The dynamic range that you are touting being nearly the same is the specific feature of film that I was refering to on how it handles highlights. It's taken 25 years to get to where we are nearly there, but I understand why some purists still prefer the acquisition on film. However, the nearly is good enough for most but the purists.
My company’s product is an API and Postman has been a key tool to test it, collaborate internally on requests and share it to the external world. Our ecosystem is also very API intensive and we also use Postman to discover other companies APIs.

We use all those features:

- HTTP requests

- Mock servers (to test async requests which call back a webhook endpoint)

- Workspaces: private and public

- Monitors, alerts and integrations

I’m excited by the direction Postman has been taking over the years.

Most of commenters in the thread seem to think that Postman is still in the “lightweight cURL replacement GUI” market, like so many of the alternatives mentioned. I think this is wrong - Postman has now has moved to an upper market where requirements are more advanced and complex.

Btw - we use both Postman & cURL

Idk why people have the preconception of two (or more) sensors each deciding on an outcome indepently..

Suppose you have a color sensor and a form sensor and you have to identify an orange (fruit). Clearly in conjuction the two sensors will be way better, than assigning everything with color orange orange and everything round an orage.
They should be forced to let that happen. It's crucial for public safety.

> the fact that autopilot isn't worse is pretty promising!

Presumably drivers take over when it makes mistakes, which tilts the stats a bit.

> When I was 19 probably safer to use autopilot.

As a parent, I wonder about what safety tech I would let my kids use when learning to drive. I want to make sure they fully learn how to drive, which makes me think I shouldn't let them use too much semi-autonomous tech.

At the same time, it seems foolish to tell them not to use blind spot monitors, or to even expect them to "check their blind spot" the old-fashioned way if their cars have monitors.

Interestingly, my father (in his 70s) tells me he'll never trust blind spot monitors, so I'm seeing a generational difference even between him and me. Too bad, since older drivers probably could benefit the most from not having to look back when changing lanes. Older eyes take longer to re-focus, so it's more likely an older driver would miss something happening ahead on account of having looked rearward.
Would it be possible to have a split offering, with both on prem and cloud? In my mind I would prefer to have things like Prometheus, Logs, and Metrics stored on prem mainly due to the volume of logs and metrics we create. Then use Grafana cloud for Grafana Dashboards, Loki logs, and incident management that pull directly from my on prem data stores. I bring this up as it may be cost prohibitive for us to store our metrics in the cloud ( we make so many metrics and logs! ) but I would love to off load hosting the front end. Grafana cloud takes care of managing and maintaining Grafana Dashboard and backend database, Authentication, updates, ect. I'm fine hosting Prometheus and Loki locally, have been for a long time! I just get annoyed having to host Grafana and setting it up, the database up, configuring auth, etc.

i am guessing to many users killed the initial server. the workaround of distributed servers doesn't allow people to connect if they are not on the same server.

I use Unifi for wifi gear, which supports it out of the box.

https://www.ui.com/unifi/unifi-ap-ac-pro/ for the wired AP, https://store.ui.com/products/uap-beaconhd for the extension into the back of the house. Pricy, but not completely outrageous IMO.

For an actual router, I run OPNsense in a VM (on the same box as HA, funnily enough). My server has dual 10 gig ports, so I pass through one of them to OPNsense and run it as a "router on a stick", where the basic internal network is the untagged VLAN, and the public side is VLAN 99. My switch then strips the VLAN 99 tag from the packet before sending it to the cable modem, and vice-versa. My switch is https://mikrotik.com/product/crs328_24p_4s_rm, which was $379 in 2018. However, you can get similar functionality from MUCH cheaper microtik or unifi/ubiquity switches if you don't need 10 gig support.

If you're starting from scratch I might get something like https://store.ui.com/collections/unifi-network-unifi-os-cons..., and an el cheapo dumb switch, as long as it'd pass through vlan tagged traffic. You want anything that's crossing a vlan boundary to end up on the router anyway, so you can apply firewall rules to it.
We need a startup that can test and correct dubious statistical claims, or verify good ones. I would definitely pay for that.
> rob them of the ability to become a designer?

I mean, that's not a bad idea when it comes to job security.
> I assume then that the hosting provider needs to "support BGP"? Is that accurate?

Indeed, one way or another, they need to support BGP which if they are using their own ASN and data center, they most likely already do but it's not 100% they allow their customers to use their own. Sometimes they advertise that they support BGP for their customers (like Vultr: https://www.vultr.com/docs/configuring-bgp-on-vultr/), sometimes they can provide the service to you if you ask nicely and sometimes they don't want anything to do with customer BGP.

> It also raises questions about companies producing their own stats

Companies saying "trust us, we have the data to prove it" while keeping that data secret should be ignored. Especially if their CEO has a long history of blatant dishonesty! I'm most annoyed that people gave any weight to Tesla's safety statistics claims in the first place.
People don't like to spend time setting up things when they run the app the first time, but they also hate not being able to tweak things when they need to.

> My team ended up moving to Paw but that has been a bit problematic since it only supports osx, so some team members are also using insomnia

One of the first things I learned working professionally is that of it’s possible you need to force all engineers to use the same OS. No one will ever agree on one Linux distro. No one wants to develop on Windows (unless you’re developing for Windows). So you should but everyone a MacBook. The time saved by reducing duplicated work in getting things working on your OS more than pays for the Apple tax. As for personal OS preference - get over it.
Why would we stop progress on a technology just because it’s not perfect? Particularly on something as subjective as this. This attitude is prevalent in some of the weirdest fields but oddly enough I don’t see anyone saying we should stop flight because the leg room in modern planes isn’t great.

Although I’m curious what your thoughts would’ve been had you been around to see the Wright brothers on their first flight. Or the first cell phone that came in a suitcase. Or the first camera that was just a photo sensitive plate and a hole for a lens.

How would any of this had been improved if people just gave up the second they realized something about the technology wasn’t perfect?
> seems the many regions spread the potential users to thin. you probably want a stronger single server because connecting chats across multiple servers only makes your code more complex when your actual problem seems to be that you just need more ram or cpu.

I checked ram and cpu with top when I was using a VPS, and it was basically nothing. (I didn't monitor it continuously, so maybe that was still the problem.) But you're right in principle, I should use one server.

> alternatively consider using existing platforms like jitsi. the benefit of your site is not the implementation of the audio channels but the ability for HN users to find each other.

But once people found each other, it's webrtc, it's p2p, so that shouldn't be a problem for the server.
Right, I think a lot of people enjoyed customising their first computer, and then when they got a new one or reinstalled Windows because it got slow they couldn't be bothered to do it again.

But maybe things are a bit different nowadays. Web-based software might not have this problem so much, and I think mainstream mobile OSes do a good job of importing your setup when you get a new phone.
And if AI programming were limited to completely artificial contexts you would have a point, though I'd still be concerned. We live in a world, however, where programmers routinely call on the powers of an AI to complete their real code and get real value out of it. This is based on the same technology that brought us this particular win, so clearly this technology is useful outside "ridiculously controlled environments."

This happened to me early on in programming career. Coming out university I had a highly customized emacs environment, that I regularly tweaked. But then on my first job, while I could use emacs on my workstation, our production systems were all Solaris were I could only use vi (not VIM, vi). The cognitive load between them killed me and I retrained myself on vi. Today I use vim, but really only change a few things like the theme.
For me, it was “money for nothing”, best job in the world because it was also my hobby. Not everyone is that way. Easy as breathing for some, completely incomprehensible alternate dimension of reality for others.
Of course my position is falsifiable. If there is a massive prophetic doomsday, where the price of GME goes to 10 thousand, or a million dollars, and crashes the world economy, then my position would be falsified.

But with the prophecy predictors, the same is not the case. No matter how long goes on, with the doomsday not happening, a doomsday predictor can just make up an excuse for why the doomsday was delayed.

So once again, give me a date. Surely there must be a day, where if this goes on long enough, with no doomsday, that you will admit that you got duped, and this is all nonsense.

because I am happy to come back to you, on that day, to see if you are willing to take in new information, or if you will just come up with some excuse for why doomsday got delayed.

See the difference between your's , and my position? With me, if the doomsday happens, then that is when I am proven wrong. For you, if the doomsday doesn't happen, for however long, you can just make up a reason for why it got delayed.

Or, in other words, the doomsday is not falsifiable.

> /you/ the conspiracy nut

You are the one predicting a doomsday, supposedly right? Every day that the doomsday does not happen, is more evidence that I am right. Just give a date. Give me a day, when you will say "Well I guess the doomsday isn't coming". I will mark it on my calendar.

If you do not give a date, then you are literally admitting that your position cannot be falsified, because you are saying that no matter how long goes by, with the million dollar short squeeze, you will not be convinced.

I can be convinced. If price hits a million dollars, I was wrong. You can't be convinced, if you are unwilling to give a day when you'd admit that you got duped.

I fairly often do something like this. I have a simple CLI project that I write that hits a few web APIs and reads a file. It's fairly simple, but these are the kind of basic things I want to know in each language.

Steam rolling children's dopamine receptors since birth doesn't have a positive effect on their long-term development ? Who would have known /s
Yes they do, because very rarely would such a healthcheck kind of setup actually work in practice, at a large enough size, for a user-facing dashboard. If you want a healthcheck, look at a Grafana dashboard, not a status page.

By the way, I don't know of a single place where this isn't the case, where a human signs off on and updates the status page during large events (at least at the final decision.) Some of it will be automated, sure, like red flags being raised to operators. But at a certain point it is not possible to automate this in some level to achieve second-level accuracy or whatever; the system is rarely (if ever) in a binary state of "working perfectly" or "not working", but somewhere in between. You can't just fire off a big red error bar every time a blip occurs at a place like GitHub. The system is constantly "in motion". The logical conclusion is to just expose your 50+ Grafana dashboards publicly to every user. Isn't that the most honest "overview" of what is happening with your product? Except this often can't tell them useful things either.

People on here will also mumble about SLAs but if a customer wants a kickback or is seriously worried about events like these, they're generally talking to account managers, not posting on internet forums. That said, a lot of them get weaselly about that stuff unless you're already negotiating prices with an AM in the first place...

Really? That sounds extremely shitty. As a customer of Vultr, it makes me a bit scared, but during the 5~ or something years I've used them, that never happened to me.

You'd be doing everyone a service by continuing to dig out a reason for why that happened, and if they don't provide it, lambast them over social media or something so they do provide some sort of justification.
