I'm fine with a touch screen for things like rear camera and plugging in a smart phone, but I want actual volume, temperature, and fan speed knobs.

I also want all of the information about the car I can get. For example, I don't want a "tire low light", I want an air pressure in each tire with an flashing indicator that its out of safe range. I don't want an "overheat", I want the temperature and big flashing when its out of range.

I do wish for a HUD just because I want my eyes on the road, but I think that's a lost dream.

I dearly wish someone would design a car for easy repairs, but we all know that isn't a profit positive thing.
I think that depends a bit on what you intended to do after the await. I’m certain there are uses of an async mutex (several libraries have one) where there’s indeed a broken invariant.
> We tell them "someone discovered the earth was round" even though thats arguable

It's arguable that "someone discovered the earth was round" or that "the earth is round"? Because I'm pretty sure that neither of those is actually arguable.
Not parent, but calculation from given data: 1200km, charging every 300km for about 30-50min -> 4x 30-50min -> 120-200min -> 2h-3.3h in one direction -> 4h-6.6h in both directions
Can you imagine the popularity of a UI component driven version of this (along the lines of hypercard I guess), if web-based? I suspect the market for that would be MUCH bigger.
I feel like "scale" on the Internet has gone completely off the rails and has become just worthless "noise." Sure, anyone can post and sell whatever they want, but you lose all notions of reputation and trust. It all becomes a shouting match among those who can ad-spam and SEO their way to the top. Those shitty fly-by-night randomly-named Chinese brands on Amazon come to mind.
This has to be the most daft idea ever.

Medical science relies on so many crucial data points based on mass, which is most easily determined via measuring weight.

Without your weight:
A Doctor cannot safely prescribe anything.
A Doctor cannot verify whether changes in your weight may containdicate a pre-existing course of treatment.
Second-opinions to sanity check a physician making a high impact diagnosis is right out.

What is wrong with people? Valuing avoidance of being confronted with an objective fact that makes you feel bad over not dying or not being treatable?

I just don't understand.

You can be squeamish with just about everyone else. Never your Physician.
And that's where you both implement and act on security policies to mitigate and avoid this based on the threat model you're up against.

That may be true, but you only need a ~10% share of the market to want a privacy-first (i.e. dumb) TV, and that'll at least keep the others in line. Sort of like the role Mozilla ought to play in the browser market.
I think "ridicules" is a bit of an understatement. He continuously shouts her down, mocks, and insults her before cowardly hanging up on her. How people respect this guy, I don't understand.
"Failure of communication" is a generous way to put it.

The leaked Collins and Fauci emails show there was a deliberate decision to trade truth for control of the narrative. [0]

This isn't incompetence or messaging being too simple. This is a failure of philosophy: that of "noble lies".

Much of our leaders behaviors can be explained through this lens.

Masking, natural immunity, lab leak, etc.

At every turn, the facts were skewed and skeptics were penalized in order to railroad everyone into vaccination.

The failure is that the people in charge don't see this line of action as a failure, but rather a necessary evil. A means to an end.

You can get aftermarket camera kits for ~$150 that handle that for older model cars.

https://www.amazon.com/Vehicle-Backup-Cameras/b?ie=UTF8&node...

The backup camera genuinely is a great feature, but the touchscreen is itself awful. I agree with Mazda on this (and the US Navy, which is also replacing touchscreens with knobs).

I'm hoping we start seeing a renaissance of car customization -- for example I know that kit cars, almost all of which are pretty dumb - are gaining in popularity. One of the nice things about electric vehicles is the greatly simplified powertrain is going to create a lot of opportunities for customization and DIY, and I hope our regulatory environment is reformed to support that more. In the czech republic, everyone works on their own car and we have a friend who built his own car from scratch, but in the U.S. we see a lot less of that type of autonomy.
Stuff like this has been a problem in the US mountain west so long

I don't think it's geographically specific. I've seen plenty of this in New Jersey and upstate New York.

No, they wouldn't pay for that. This is a dumb myth that people use to brush off their guilt. If something can be taken for free with no repercussion, most people will take it for free.

We're in a feedback loop where content is being pulled towards the lowest common denominator of people who don't ad-block, which is a terrible uninformed click-bait hellhole.

You can ad block, I do myself (with a pretty big whitelist), but understand that if you are not contributuing (money or ad views) your opinion of the internet is irrelevant. Start paying, then complain as a paying customer.
Honda has been moving in a similar direction as well it seems. Most of the Japanese marques besides Subaru have ditched all-touch layouts in favor of physical buttons due to poor focus group and customer response. The new Ford Maverick and Bronco also both come with extremely tactile interior layouts, which is a pleasant sight for touchscreen-sore eyes.

I really hope this is just another fad/trend in automotive design like 6-disc trunk CD changers or phosphor display gauges.

I'm not owed free content. What I am owed is the right to determine for myself what code runs on my computer. Ads are visually oppressive, violate privacy, and are frequently vectors for malware. I am in no way obligated to allow any website to run them on my computer.

When a website wants to make viewing their ads mandatory for viewing their content, that is their prerogative. Most don't, and I'm not obligated to volunteer my CPU for their ads.
> ... if you know the secret button sequence to break out of the menu.

I did see the twitter screenshots, but as I don't own the device myself I couldn't really judge if the GP's instructions are readily apparent to the average user.

Also, I don't disagree with you. But the OP seemingly bought such a device and connected it to their wifi. Maybe they are living in a furnished apartment with pre-configured wifi? Anyway - thankfully we are not yet in an era where ones only choice is a connected dishwasher - can still buy used, older models etc.

edit: One would hope that you can factory reset the dishwasher to make it forget the wifi information, if it has been configured by someone else.

uBlock alone seems to do the trick for YouTube.

Uncle Phil is having a heart to heart chat with young Nicky and in the middle says something like "ok nice talk see you in around 2 1/2 minutes" which I thought was hilarious
Per chance, do you have a link to the thread?
I don't. I subscribe to the publications that I regularly read, but their websites are still mostly unusable without an ad blocker.
> The limitation is that the app VMs have no access to a GPU. Some people manage to get a GPU assigned to an app VM, but GPUs generally have DMA access to all of physical memory, so this compromises security if code operating the GPU is not trusted.

Well the code executing on the GPU is trusted. What is not trusted is code running in the browser. The problem is that Wayland instead of not trusting the clients which shall not be trusted (browser), trusts only one client at a time. So you have security against local programs (which shall be trusted) but no security against remote code running in the browser.
Locks in JavaScript, because why not?
Because the implicit agreement of a site with adverts is that the content's available to you with the adverts on it. If you don't like that you don't have to read it, but if you remove them automatically then I think it's hard to argue you aren't breaking an implied agreement.

Honest question: If Joe Rogan continues to amplify the voices of conspiracists, and his listeners continue to heed them -- for example, by refusing to get vaccinated against Covid -- does his thanking his "haters" matter? Isn't the point that he should stop providing a platform to people who deny that Covid is a threat or that climate change is real?

I don't mean to sound like a dick here. But I think it's a bit of a red herring to focus on the quality of someone's apology when they continue to do harm.

No turbo to consume oil, no software to control the car. The Radio has Android Auto, and some software updates available for some nice 'radio features', like showing you the news, weather, sports information, etc. Never used it.

I still own a 1999 Isuzu Rodeo, safety and gas mileage were my reasons for getting the Subaru, as well as my desire to modify the Isuzu.

Here's a few observations (after long time experience and involvement in research around technical debt):

1) It is impossible to avoid gathering technical debt. The code will deteriorate in one way or another. You need to prepare to fix it since you can't avoid it.

2) It is so extremely difficult to make a correct "risk assessment" on technical debt so you should avoid doing so at all. You will just end up arguing all day on the merits of clean code/architecture vs feature growth. Instead, keep two backlogs and reserve a set amount of resources on each, e.g. 20% on reducing technical debt and 80% for product features and other development.

3) The "cost" of reducing technical debt is actually negative. That's the whole point of working with it, to increase development velocity.
i hear gunshots every.single.night ( live in Oak Cliff which is on the South side of downtown Dallas ). It's so annoying and then maybe 10% of the time you get the helicopter about 5min later. You can tell gunshots from car backfires because there's 4 or 5 of them in row. pop-pop-pop-pop-pop vs one low-rolling bang

Edit: usually what this is is people leaving a bar/club and sticking their pistol out of their window on the way out of the parking lot. On a nice day with the windows open you'll hear the same when the Cowboys score a touchdown. basically impossible to catch/stop
Who is saying they expect free content?

I'd pay a monthly fee for unmolested search results.
I pay for Youtube Premium.
I only watch ad-free content that I pay for.

I don't want the content for free - the free stuff is usually worse in quality anyway. I just want to be left alone by advertisers. I don't need what they are selling and the reduce my ability to think. The sheer amount of noise they add to the world makes them a problem.
Adguard for Safari does the trick for Safari on both iOS and macOS.

I've tried others, and they don't seem to do much. Adguard works as well as uBO 90% of the time.

I only see a difference when visiting actual malicious sites, like pirated sports streams, where Adguard might occasionally lets a pop-under through.
There was a time back in the IE6 era where firefox didn't really have any market share and adblockers weren't really a thing.

The advertising industry was really aggressive even then. Some publishers put as many popups and banner ads as they could. I'm not saying all publishers would do this, but I have to admit the worst actors are the ones I strongly remember.

Only difference now is that there's a lot more tracking and ads are more insidious where they blend in with content now.
Facebook group chat with the family. Mostly dank memes and dark humour on there. It's fun posting memes with a select few people that you trust. By all means, broadcast memes to 5000 randos on your Facebook timeline, but you can't beat the personal touch of a small group chat. Plus: the memes sometimes have context for what's happening in the family at any given moment.
And killing a lot of brain cells.
That's quite interesting, as many of my friends in post-Soviet countries all rave about how you can run Ladas into the dirt and they'll keep running. Luck of the draw perhaps?
It was a different time. Google's motto was also, "don't be evil" which they retracted years later. It's a different era now.
I am in the group of people who think the more electronics, the better (alone in my family). I do not drive much so if the electronics break then never mind (I did not have this happening for 25 years and I was always looking for the most electronics-packed car).

The situation I have today (in France at least) is that I have cars that are full of electronics but the UI is done by the car manufacturer and is horrible.

My dream is to have a car where I would configure my display. In my case that would be a large speed indicator, the distance I can drive with the current gas I have, and a display where bad things would be displayed, as they come.

What I have is a display full of things I completely do not care about. Temperature of the engine? The engine RPM? I completely do not care about these so I would like to get rid of them.

I think however we are very far from that state of bliss.

This is fake, or the person is very not aware of how Google search was intended to work in the first place. The whole USP of Google search was to index ads in the same way as other content and display it in the search results. It has always been more about target practice where the “ads” are placed.
> ... Indians (I'm using this term since it's still the only one used around here)

Many of the tribes still in existence today refer to themselves, in English, as "Indian" or "American Indian" (and many Native American) but most just use their actual tribe name. "Native American" is a weird term to be the "PC" term as it's very Euro-centric. I think the outrage culture's issue over the term "Indian" is a lot more being offended on other's behalf than the parties themselves being offended. At the very least, they're grouping together a lot of different tribes who have different opinions and treating them as a monolith which, to my eyes, is the thing we shouldn't be doing.
Usually mathematics is hard to understand if a subject matter is new. Most of the time there are some common examples that everyone learns about in a subject, and you learn to notate them along the way. When you write new mathametics you try to stick to the conventions from those examples.

The common way you learn mathematics, the notation comes automatically, and new mathematics is often understood as a variation on the examples you learn.

Some of these conventions you probably know, like having i for the varying number in a sum or product (or loop in programming) which goes up to an integer n.

If you called an integer f or a complex number n it would make it much harder to read.

The only solution I found to that is to bypass google completely and directly go search on Reddit, where real humans have human opinions (sometimes HN, too).
Better yet, go all the way in with No script and experience an even better email. A lot faster, too. Enabling us even on a handful of sites has a measurable impact on battery life on underpowered devices such as phones.

HN is working perfectly fine without js. For obvious reasons, most non video/chat/app sites work just fine as well.

I write us for a living so I'm not against in the least. It works for me.

My mind is blown every time I see what regular people experience. Horrible, though I am not sure it's worse than what we had to deal with back in the flash and days a decade ago. Could be.
"I’ve been browsing the web with an adblocker for so long that I’d totally forgotten about the existence of ads being spliced into video content"

My wife set off a gamma detector in the Shanghai/Pudong airport--heart scan. Fortunately, their security isn't insane, it was resolved actually too easily for my taste. (No effort was made to determine if she was hot as opposed to carrying something hot.) Here they have simply thrown people in prison when the radiation detector went off--100% of who were hot for medical reasons.

Notably, we had passed through two US airports at 4x and 8x the radioactivity, didn't set off any alarms. Either there weren't detectors, or they were capable of filtering out alarms at that energy level (Tc-99m isn't useful for a bad guy, a detection is always medical.) I find the latter very unlikely when scanning a large area.

If you simply need to know when the dishwasher is on, and be alerted when then off (complete), there are simple and non-wifi solutions by monitoring the power usage on its circuit.

For example, I have CTs directly attached to my laundry circuits which I monitor to generate alerts. Helps keep the family moving along when we all have laundry queued up.

The alternative is a separate box (or something like a Fire Stick). But those became less of a thing once TV manufacturers started implementing them inside the box. And with that, it’s one less thing to buy (which consumers like).

If you tell customers that two TVs are identical except one doesn’t need a dongle for Netflix and is cheaper, they’ll choose the smart one.
To be fair, if people stopped blocking ads I don't see them backing off on Ads any more; the increase in revenue and ad watch time would be kept as profit, since the current YouTube paradigm where they show 2 ads at the start and sometimes multiple mid-roll ads is so that they annoy you enough to sign up for Premium.
> But you probably didn't notice how there were almost no issues with the western countries in the EU and the article talked about the issue with the eastern countries in the EU?

Did we read the same article? It literally blames the Netherlands for having insufficient refrigeration infrastructure for mRNA vaccines.

> Germany also publicly blamed the US for buying too much vaccines and sucking up all the production at a premium price in front of other countries

Which as the article says, was politics to cover up for their own delays.

> I'm from Belgium and I'm pretty sure that we could used some military law to force dips on vaccines we created ( Pfizer/Biontech) and could have done everything faster than the US if we wanted. But we didn't, since it's not fair, selfish and we wouldn't get away with it like the US

That just seems like an excuse. The EU also failed to invest in sufficient production capacity by fronting capital to jump start production before the vaccines were approved. From your own FT link:

> But investments by the EU to help companies cover upfront costs appear to have been relatively modest compared with those agreed by the US. Mr Wojahn said the EU had pre-financed production capacity with roughly €2bn in the summer and early autumn. In contrast, Donald Trump’s administration in the US began funding vaccine producers through its Operation Warp Speed programme back in March. It has spent more than $12bn to date — more than a third of which was given to Boston-based biotech Moderna alone

Germany also blames the European Commission in your FT article:

> But German politicians, including Bavarian premier Markus Söder, who also leads one of Germany’s governing parties, the Christian Social Union, have said the blame sits with the EU. “There was probably too much bureaucracy at the European Commission . . . too few of the right vaccines were ordered and price debates went on for too long”, Mr Söder told German newspaper Bild am Sonntag.

And from your Washington Post article:

> Even as Brussels and European capitals cry foul over bearing the brunt of supply chain issues from manufacturers and point to continued exports, sluggish vaccination programs in many European countries mean millions of delivered doses haven’t been used. The E.U.’s most populous member state, Germany, has administered just over 8 million vaccine doses but still has a backlog of 4.3 million doses in storage, according to government figures.

The person that got the job just made the initial screening interview, and answered the recruiters mail, while they talked to another guy.
