Miele also started limiting the availability of parts to official Miele certified repair centres only¹, so repairability is limited too — i.e., you would have to go to an approved service company rather than do it yourself or have a local handy person do it.

Yeah, I quite liked the contextual ads and did go to Google many times just to look at the ads, ignoring the rest of the contents (not only for gmail, for search too).

When they started with the permanent database, the ads immediately got useless.

meat-containing diets can only exist at a global scale by externalizing the negative costs related to shipping, storage, and manufacturing.

The meat-containnig diet didn't/can't appear in a vacuum, and it only became widespread as an option for everyone once global shipping emerged.

meat has its place, but it's not the holier-than-thou panacea its adherents make it out to be.

Hilarious! I cannot comprehend why anyone would buy a dishwasher with wifi. Ever. A dishwasher worth having should last at least 10 years. By the end of that time, the wifi security spec it is compatible with is likely to be a huge security hole in your home network, as you will be 1-2 wifi specs newer in most cases due to router replacements. Sheer stupidity.

That's a feature I'd kinda like, but I won't rope myself into the manufacturer's ecosystem just to get it. Especially not Samsung, the maker of my current washing machine. Not that I'll ever buy another Samsung appliance, but that's a different story.

What I did instead was paste an Aqara zigbee vibration sensor to the side of the washing machine. Then a little bit of Home Assistant magic and it tells me when the washer seems to be done. In case I didn't hear the symphony it plays at the end of a cycle.

This is trivially answered in the negative. Arguing for sport is done all the time, and holding a "Devil's advocate" position should be done routinely to test the strength one's own arguments.
>> European Teslas use CCS, but obviously that wasn't an option for the first years of the US supercharger built-out, so it seems we're stuck with their proprietary connector here.

The standard connector for DC chargers in the us is IMHO horrible. The cables are heavy, they have redundant connections - 2 (unused in a fast charger) for AC, 2 for DC. They use an overly complex PLC (powerline communication) interface over signal wires.

The whole notion of "charging networks" is stupid too. People end up having a whole bunch of different phone apps so they can use whatever network they are closest to when they need to charge. I'm not sure why investors think there's going to be big money in charging networks. IMHO the end game will be charges at McDonalds along the major highways, so people can eat and poop while their car charges on long trips. The rest of the time people will charge at home.

Back to connectors, the Tesla connectors are really nice compared to the standard. But politics defined the standard.

You can certainly hate Google and not support them. I don’t know how you can classify them as “leeches on society”, though. I remember the days before Google, when web search was utter garbage, free email providers gave you 10mb of storage and stuck ads on the bottom of every email you sent, map apps were limited to about 400x300 for some inexplicable reason, and Android didn’t even exist. Google very much seems like a net positive historically.

I interviewed at Citrix 20+ years ago for my first SWE job out of college. The first phone interview went well, but on the second one I was surprised to find the interviewer was asking the exact same questions, word for word. After a couple of them I mentioned it, thinking maybe this was a mistake and the interviewer said that wasn't the case, and then proceeded to ask me the rest of the same questions. After I told them the answer to the next question before they asked it there was a real long pause on their side and then they asked the remaining questions in a different order. Needless to say I wasn't as excited about working there after that, but they never called me back either.
I wanted to use an Emacs distribution, but ended up against them as I've always preferred to just use the tool barebones and add on functionality when I need it. Maybe I'll dedicate some time to trying out Doom or Spacemacs and see if I am really missing anything that I haven't cobbled together from reading the built-in documentation and snippets of lisp.
I would say, this is misleading, as often do Google Ads campaigns, and I follow Google, well, from first day of Google Ads advertising, the position of Google was always the sam regarding ads - there is no way you can buy a position in the search results.

Yeah, there are SEO tactics, but they don't grant you fixed position. And Google Ad, well Search Ad is always different (from day one) than the organic search result.

And even so, Google Ad can't be misleading, because it directly affects the search result for the user, so you have some parameters like Quality score of the ad and the keyword, and yeah, if you try to mislead, they will disapprove your ad.
I would argue that iOS is more dangerous because we can be fairly certain that it's not only vulnerable to exploits like Pegasus, but also phones home to FIVE EYES on a regular basis. Qubes is vulnerable to neither of these attacks, and it's architecture is explicitly designed to isolate all components of the system with hardened hypervisor technology used by the most high-security servers in the world. For the most part, you don't even have to trust the device you're running Qubes on; the isolation technology is that robust.

With the fog, there's less light hitting the sensor, so the camera's going to capture noisier images. Most cameras will automatically apply noise reduction algorithms, and additional noise reduction can be done in Lightroom/Photoshop - when applied liberally, this can result in an appearance that almost looks like an oil painting, as clusters of similarly colored areas are smeared together.
What I think is happening.

1. They've spent a decade building the largest, highest quality network. From site selection, permitting, building components, construction, they are probably the most capital efficient org out there.

2. Others are catching up, eventually the supercharger network will be a commodity.

3. They have plenty of capital, so they can just get ahead and outbuild everyone else. There's only so many chargers a geolocation needs. They may come to dominate fast charging.
4. It's still clunky for non Tesla's, but about the same as the competition. The Tesla charging experience is still gonna be a step ahead.
I was going to point out that coconut ice cream can be superior to its milky counterpart... but coconut farming itself is problematic. If we replaced all the world's ice cream with coconut ice cream, there would be no coconuts left. And it takes 4-10 years for new coconuts to mature. Our addiction to luxury may be the root problem.
Are you kidding? If someone really has good evidence for the Earth being flat, that could potentially be one of the most important observations of all time!

As the Litany of Tarski goes:

Problem: People are writing bad software with bugs and dark patterns.

Solution: Software development should be the only creative profession in the entire world with no legal protection on their work!?

It's insane to me. Absolutely insane. Copyright is not immoral. Almost nobody in this thread would be able to make any money as a software engineer if software were not allowed to make money. And yes, I've heard the arguments for how free software could kinda maybe carve out a niche of funding and keep a few passionate people employed for not quite enough money. Spare me. It's like every aerospace engineer deciding that what they're doing is immoral and they should all just be aircraft maintenance techs. It's a completely different, much less creative, and much less satisfying job (for the engineering-minded, anyway).

Of course patents are a different story, and basically are immoral under the current system. And there are clear "right to repair" and ownership rights that we also need to fight for. Can we focus on those fights instead of shaming software developers for wanting to make money on the code they write?
Sure, as a physicist, I have written papers with pseudocode for algorithms, and I think we would do well to express algorithms in this way. That's definitely an improvement that is slowly percolating various fields. But most mathematical theorems and their proofs are not algorithms, and not suitable for expressing this way.

The reason for single-letter variable names is that mathematics is best learned by manipulating ideas by hand on paper and pen. And that many mathematical expressions are long and if we started using longer names, we would end up writing only a couple of statements per page, which would be much annoying than just using symbols.
Intentionally limiting the access of others to information, including by omission or by imposing artificial barriers, is still inherently censorship.
There was a previous HN thread where someone said they were attempting to make a dumb TV (a commercial endeavor) and others here said they were interested in working on that. I wonder where that effort is. Feels like there is a ready market for this product. I can't turn on my Vizio without it taking 10 minutes to check for updates, changing inputs take a minute. The Samsung keeps trying to update YouTube and some other apps which I've deleted hundreds of times before, there's probably 30MB of internal memory left. Nothing turns on instantly. More and more I feel like nothing I buy is ever the thing I really want, it's always a devil's bargain with the least-bad thing I can live with. Consumer-focused software, is that even a thing we make anymore.
Most cows grow up on pasture land before being moved to feed lots for bulking up before slaughter. My sense is that the US could sustain about half of its current beef production just with pasture grazing.
Start-up/Consulting idea: use ML/RL strategies and tools and help gaming companies improve their AI. In a variety of games, the AI should be a big component of gameplay (all single player games) and ends up being such a liability. I can imagine the litany of issues that prevent this, but I wonder if a company could accumulate some general templates/models/toolkits that could help AI improve for a variety of gaming companies. Most AI in games are more like Stockfish than AlphaZero and the cost to train these models for each of these games is probably prohibitively high. However, I imagine a variety of gaming companies that provide a 1st person game would not mind outsourcing their NPC AI and perhaps a company could find some synergy across games such that the marginal cost of going from game to game could be decreased.

An example game that fits your board game template more or less are turn based games like Civilization. I love Civ games but the AI stupidity is the weakest part of the game. I know RTS games like starcraft are super hard (probably why Deepmind chose to do it) but perhaps turn based games or games with a slower pace and limited action space are doable for a consulting company.

Idk, food for thought, but if you make a billion dollar company I'm saving this post for my records :P
I mean, there’s also a non-high speed rail connecting those areas as well. The high speed rail was unnecessary.

It’s the same way we don’t have a six lane interstate going to Alaska from the lower 48, but a two lane road.
That's a great summary. If you want to go further, I think it's only really addressed in the literature and not much in textbooks.

The one interesting bit that I studied/researched and attempted to publish (no luck) was the observation that organisms that have RNAi, a process by which cells detect double-stranded RNA inside and eliminate it (likely a virus), tend to have fewer overlapping genes. When two different overlapping genes are transcribed to mRNA, they can form duplexes that kinda sorta look like viral RNA and get taken out by the RNAi surveillance system, even though they're legit transcripts.
Not at all. While animals can be pastured, most of the livestock in developed countries is reared in grain-fed CAFOs. These are, in most cases, grain that is suitable for human consumption or could be made so. Moreover, almond milk is still ecologically preferable to cows milk.
No, it isn't weird. Some things should be simple, just work, and not require wifi.

I had to read to the end of your comment, before I realized what you were saying. Ha! Sounded like you were describing my Bosch dishwasher, which is flawless and does not have WiFi. Put dishes in, press one button, walk away and come back later to perfectly clean dishes. I love the thing.

But my two year old is now 11 and doesn't like to help with dishes any more. Sigh.
I could be wrong, but some of those companies are probably agriculture companies. Those 100 companies produce those emissions in response to demand. No demand for coal? No coal emissions. No demand for farting cows? No fart emissions. I know that's a _little_ simplistic, but it's not so simplistic as to be useless.
The enterprise integration on Citrix can be good, but really I think the conversation was about what it is like to actually use it.
I can't put subscript on HN (or at least I don't know how), see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generalized_Stokes_theorem (first equation) for how it should be typeset.
This is simply impossible. There is energy loss at every stage.

Burning fuel to create electricity is not 100%

Transfering that energy over power lines has loss

Converting that energy from high voltage to house hold voltage has loss.

Charging a battery has loss

Discharging a battery has loss

Converting electric energy into a motor has loss.

Running a combustion engine in a car has less loss than the above. If that energy comes from wind, solar, or even nuclear; then even with that loss you are releasing less CO2. However if you are burning oil in both places, then the compounding energy losses matter a lot.

Reading an electric car companies statement and taking that as absolute truth is the same as reading about "clean oil".

> IMHO the end game will be charges at McDonalds along the major highways, so people can eat and poop while their car charges on long trips

Somebody has to manage/monetize those chargers at McDonalds. The "free EV charge while you are at our store" is going away quickly. Hopefully that is an existing charging network, but in the worst case McDonalds will start their own. Hopefully we can get some location/bluetooth based app activation, or maybe just a QR code.

Debian is definitely not a good distribution to test Wayland in its current state. A lot of packages are quite a few stable version behind, and the whole Wayland ecosystem is moving really quickly (for example, Gnome 3.38 instead of Gnome 41)

Staying on x11 makes more sense unless using Debian unstable or testing.
I wouldn't assume it was accidental. There were rifle attacks on power stations in California back in 2014 that came very close to causing widespread blackouts in one of our most densely populated areas. It took them 27 days to get the station back up and running. Imagine LA without power for a month... They considered that a dress rehearsal and a message. Maybe this is similar?
Much of the land being used is crop land to make animal feed, certainly not most but a considerable amount is. This is also assuming that the only goal is getting more farmland, when it would also be useful for things like conservation efforts.
Far too simple minded if you think they'd ever mention that. Think politically.
For most of my Gen X life here in the US, the only censors of note were the far right, trying to ban porn and naughty words. We had the press and the ACLU that would scream bloody murder and fight like wolverines whenever censorship reared it’s head.

Now, a ridiculous number [1] of Americans support censorship. We have surveys showing most college kids want to ban “hate speech” and heterodoxy [2] (big problem- who gets to define “hate”?).

The ACLU is backing away from defending free speech; here’s a former director of the ACLU [3].

Journalists now regularly host intelligence community propagandists [4] and support “fact checking” and government mandated bans on “misinformation” [5]. Again, who decides? And not just who decides what the facts are, but who decides what facts to check? Who decides what is “misinformation“ and what are the consequences if the holders of this power are shown to have misjudged?
