Even the analog cars will have some level of telemetry now. For example, a 2015 WRX STI will record maximum RPM, maximum speed, key cycles since last flash/ battery disconnect. Not exactly a black box data recorder, but enough evidence to deny a warranty claim caused by over-revving the engine, if the warranty rep cares to look.

The BRZ has anti lock brakes, stability control (on a toggle switch), and drive-by-wire throttle with input filtering. It makes for a smoother, safer experience.

You joke but I found this interesting (from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal_oxide_semiconductor):

> It is the basic building block of modern electronics, and the most frequently manufactured device in history, with an estimated total of 13 sextillion (1.3×10^22) MOSFETs manufactured between 1960 and 2018

64 bits can address 1.8x10^19 bytes. Of course there is not a 1:1 correlation between mosfets ever made and bytes of ram usable today but it's curiously close to the 64-bit limit so you could say 64 bits is just enough to address every byte in the world.

I wonder how much magnetic storage would add to that?
Isn’t it literally repossessed when you steal back your car.
A lot of these examples seemed to reduce the word count when making the sentence simpler. I would argue that you would want to increase the word count. For instance, you would swap out a word like 'superfluous' instead for 'more than was needed'. That way you could still give the full and rich meaning you intend, without just losing the harder words and the texture they provide.

Example(and opening myself up to criticism):

"Kyra is autistic and very deaf. She was born small and much earlier than she was supposed to. Because of this she has trouble seeing, hearing, eating and sleeping. Her hand shakes so much that she cannot use sign language to speak much at all. Her parents think she may know a couple of signs, but no more."

Crap! I need to reread the whole page now. Thanks :)
Exactly my worry. To get to reasonable flight times you need very energy dense batteries which are a potential source of ignition, and good luck putting that out.
A few extracts from the wiki site. Source https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_737_MAX_groundings

..The 737 MAX's larger CFM LEAP-1B engines are fitted farther forward and higher up than in previous models. The aerodynamic effect of its nacelles contributes to the aircraft's tendency to pitch up at high angles of attack (AOA). The MCAS is intended to compensate in such cases..

..MCAS was supposed to compensate for an excessive nose up angle by adjusting horizontal stabilizer before the aircraft would potentially stall..

..MCAS played a role in both accidents, when it acted on false data from a single angle of attack (AoA) sensor..

..elected to not describe it in the flight manual or in training materials, based on the fundamental design philosophy of retaining commonality with the 737NG..

..thus minimizing the need for significant pilot retraining..

..Thus, airlines can save money by employing and training one pool of pilots to fly both variants of the Boeing 737 interchangeably..

..As an automated corrective measure, the MCAS was given full authority to bring the aircraft nose down, and could not be overridden by pilot resistance against the control wheel as on previous versions of the 737..

- Fixing a problem (engine size/placement not analysed) with a more complex solution (MCAS).
- Acting on only 1 sensor.
- Not described in manuals.
- Not able to override.

Text-book red flags. Definitely greedy managers that pushed towards this. However the engineers involved must have a bad taste (at Boeing and FAA). Engineers should take an oath like doctors do "Hippocratic Oath". The relationsship between business and engineering must be strictly defined. Compromises has to be taken, even in safety critical systems, but when taken it can't be the same business that can assess it OK. Engineers must be able to say categorically no and have it recorded outside business, without fear of losing jobs.
No one is arguing against suburbs. We are arguing that car infrastructure (roads 100% devoted to car traffic, free curbside parking and parking lots everywhere) should not be subsidized. You want to use a car? Pay for it. Otherwise free car infrastructure destroys the vitality and livability of wherever it spreads.

Suburbs existed before the car. See "Streetcar suburbs" on youtube.
> And before someone says Go doesn't have exceptions: It does, 100%, in all but name.

But here the name actually matters. They're called "panic"s, not exceptions. When you panic, you signal a fatal error that should ideally terminate the program. You shouldn't care about closing files or freeing memory, because well-written Go does not panic, and if it does, execution will end very soon. A panic in a String() method is just bad code, don't do it. Meanwhile in C++ you can reasonable expect an exception anywhere. Bad arguments, invalid states, IO failures, and other errors that should be expected in the execution of a program all throw exceptions in idiomatic C++.

But it seems it's about response buffering, not incoming (request) buffering. (Or to be more precise slowloris can be done on either/both leg(s) of the request-response process.)
The reason we have such terrible fires now is that we keep putting out fires when they're small. Nature builds up too much burnable matter over time. Small fires would burn it in small, localized areas. But if the small fires don't happen then we get the massive fires that destroy towns, cities, and cost lives.

I am not impressed by a new way to put out small fires, because that just ensures bigger fires in the long run.

Take those drones and replace the water bombs with extra fuel tanks or batteries, so they can fly longer. Have automated patrols looking for fires daily, so that we can control small forest fires carefully- while letting them burn.
First - the site doesn't stop them from leaving.

Second - I didn't say it's not shitty.

I wouldn't normally nit pick on terms but this is a conversation about words and their definitions.

Dark Patterns are a deliberate attempt to defraud or deceive through the use of UI.

There are many things that are shitty - country music for one - that are not dark patterns.

Just because you and I both don't like exit intent popups, doesn't make them something that should be criminalised.

Dark Patterns describe activity that either is or should be criminal. The difference is enormous.
I see a lot people blaming boeing here? These sensors radar sensors were made before even the FCC allocated the 5G spectrum.

Let's also not forget 5G equipment will emit outside of its assigned spectrum even with a buffer zone between frequencies. Especially when you consider the harmonics. Now each order of harmonic gets weaker from primary frequency.

As for these altimeter sensors anyone have a datasheet for them? Quite curious what the recommended noise floor for these are?
OOOHHH! kinda curious, if I create a byte stream that's larger when compressed, do they pay me?

I think I did a poor job of explaining myself above, so let me try again.

If one accepts the premise of the OP that typical interviewing processes are bad at identifying good recruits, and if one believes the trends implied by eg hiring behaviours of big companies and some hn comments, then that implies:

- there is some subset of candidates who are attractive to big companies and those companies mostly compete with each other for those candidates.

- there are candidates who would make good hires who are (incorrectly) identified as uninteresting by these large companies

And so:

- if you are better at identifying people who would make good hires than the big companies, you will be able to hire people big companies would overlook.

- on average your offers are more likely to be accepted by people with fewer offers by big companies (even if you can pay as well or better this is still true because if a candidate has more options they may choose one that isn’t yours for reasons you can’t control)

- so your recruiting will be more cost-effective (in terms of spending less resources finding candidates and, optionally, paying new hires less) if your process mostly finds people who are (a) likely good hires and (b) more likely to accept your offer (because they don’t have so many options).

If one believes that the toplevel poster in this thread finds good candidates by having week-long trial periods then one should also expect this process to be more cost-efficient as it naturally selects for candidates who are less likely to be competed for by other companies (because those companies mistakenly think that unemployed people are unemployable)

You don’t need to pay those people less; the cost being optimised for here could be the internal resources spent on the hiring process which can be high even if you have large teams.

I think one thing I struggled with for a while was that I implicitly felt that companies ought to be designing recruiting processes that could fairly identify any candidate who would be a good employee, but really it is sufficient for a company to come up with a process that gets sufficiently many hires at a reasonable cost and doing things like reducing the applicant pool with arbitrary restrictions like job history or pedigree may reduce the cost of applying the later stages (because they would be applied to fewer people) even if it increases the salary they are hired at (because eg they are using the same arbitrary restrictions as many other companies).
This seems like a terribly difficult problem. I'm sure today there are some give-away signatures, but I put my money on the impersonators in the long run.
As terrified as I am of VR headsets taking over society, this is cool.

All those things are C APIs not C++
While there is a lopsided focus on Amazon's ecosystem, I also want to point out that the epub market, and even public libraries' lending programs are DRM-laden. In many cases you have to install Adobe Digital Editions DRM.

Further, author points out a lawsuit filed against Amazon from 2021, but I believe they're missing a crucial piece of history. The ebook ecosystem was originally poisoned by Apple who was found guilty of collusion; unfortunately by the time the challenges and ruling was complete, the damage had been done and publishers had decided to entrench themselves. We are seeing the repercussions of it today.

What could have been a thriving, open ecosystem was ruined by corporate greed, and there is plenty of blame to go around.
Which is why breaking away from the centralized web sucks.

Rumble, voat, parler, gab, even as I feel like the left has left me these days, these places still largely look like dumpster fires to me.

The centralized web is awful. Getting away from it is awful.

I don't know what's worse - the endless corporate censorship or the insanely explicit content, outright bigotry, and anti-science quacks who fill up spaces rebelling against it.

My ethics says the Corp censorship is far more problematic (when taking in the big picture) , but as someone wanting to participate in a free and constructive community it leaves one with no where to go.

Social media was a mistake. Allowing tech companies to become as big as they are were too.

I like this concept, but I don't use any of the new Focus features. I had to actively turn off the cross-device settings migration, which I found unintuitive and annoying. When I turn on DND on my computer because I'm presenting on Zoom, I don't want my phone to stop buzzing. I wouldn't have minded if it asked me whether to silence all devices, but doing this automatically seems overzealous.

I understand why it would make sense for some situations (deep work), and I understand it sort of breaks other features (away status in Messages) if you don't have all devices synchronized.

But it feels like there's not a good on-ramp for this feature/suite, so that people can try a basic setting and move to more advanced settings. Perhaps I need to check youtube for tutorials or something with best practices...but as an early adopter (waited in line for an iPhone on launch day 2007), I've never needed this sort of guidance for an iOS functionality.

Maybe some HNers have some best practices for how to use these new features? I'd love to love them, but for now I just ignore them...

You mention a throttle - I had a skim but couldn't find anything, I wonder if you considered adding a pedal-assist system of some sort?

I suppose a throttle is a much more direct connection between your mind and the motor control, unfortunately they are illegal in my country.
Of the various claims that something is X-bit I think the most credible is the size of the address space as opposed to the size of the ALU.

A 128-bit address space is large enough (UUIDs) that you can name 2^64 objects (about as many iron atoms are as in an iron filing) randomly. That lets you take two separate systems and then merge them into one system with no name conflicts, a handy property for 'distributed systems'
Cars are a fundamental requirement for living in most of America. The problems which arise from lack of parking is that cars become a nuisance fast.

I lived in an apartment complex where the parking minimum requirements were...bent... by the developer and it was by far the worst place I ever lived. Basically, what happened was the complex was under development, and the soil couldn't support a parking lot where one was planned due to drainage. So parking was added to another section of the development, around 1.0mi or so down the road. Meaning one complex had 4 spots per unit, with the other had like 0.5 spots per unit, but it worked out to 2.25 or something spots per unit on average. (I know this because I was friends with the complex manager, and she gave me the details)

The end result was people would park on sidewalks, in the middle of the road, in front of garages, double park, etc. It was a nightmare of epic proportions. People blocked in by assholes would blare their horns at 6AM. Others would intentionally "move" cars out of the way, which led to fights. There was a shooting. The fire marshal stepped in and started fining the complex, but they couldn't get people to stop, short of evictions.

The people who paid ridiculous amounts of money for their town homes next door were so pissed off about people parking in their private community that the cops were constantly harassing people for trespassing. I faced this myself just by going for a walk.

Why didn't people just get cars towed? Because tow trucks won't come out on someone's word. You actually have to go and tell the main office, then they have to call the tow company. But the thing is, the tow company doesn't tell you that, they just say they are "on their way," so you wait an hour or two for them to tow the car blocking you in and they never come.

So yeah, minimum parking is bad. But no minimum parking when everyone ones a car is worse. You need space for cars somewhere.

I say this as a person who absolutely loves walkable cities, and lives in a decently walkable one myself. We need to get rid of parking minimums, but we need to be smart about it. Maybe have the developers build parking in lots in designated areas on the perimeter of the development (kind of like those outdoor malls have)?

The latest Kindle DRM still isn't reliably broken. It's a cat-and-mouse game now.

If you don't care about typography improvements that come in the newest version, there are ways you can download the file in an older format that is thoroughly broken.

I don't understand why some publishers ever agreed to let Amazon apply their DRM to book files. It locks their readers to Amazon and thus gives Amazon a tremendous amount of power over publishers. They should have at least demanded Amazon license their DRM to other bookstores and e-readers or, even better, never bothered with DRM.

There are publishers on Amazon who do not use DRM. Tor is a big one, but there are others.

Practical implementations of data structures require consideration of memory layouts and pools which have real equivalent in other languages.

For example, imagine building a graph structure to hold a uint8 field but calling malloc for every node. You get that and worse in Python.

Simply put you cannot write performant, non-toy data structures outside of low level languages like C++.

I think OP is simply not aware of the kind of structures that are used in algorithm critical applications, like CAD, compilers, etc.

> In 22 if someone wants to make a general desktop app they'll probably use web technologies, or python, or java.

I wonder what apps you are talking about. The immense majority of apps I use are Qt. Just last week I was trying some newish Intel GPU profiler GUI: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/developer/tools/grap... ; a Qt app. Last month I produced a video, with Da Vinci Resolve, also a Qt-based software.

On the other hand, on my whole desktop I literally don't have any Java apps installed at the moment, like, not even a JDK. There may be a 2012-era copy of Minecraft in some backup folder. Likewise for Python, at most some apps will embark Python scripting around a C++ core like Blender but I don't think I use any app where the main() is written in Python.
> If it’s your device then you should have 100% control over it.

Yeah, but you also don't have the "right" to run your device on shared public spaces with your modifications that make it substantially more dangerous to other users of the same public space.
There was etiquette though. I was taught as a child that it was rude to call people at meal times, or late at night. Because answering machines were rare, people would usually answer a ringing phone in case it was an emergency. I think even young people today know this if they've seen a lot of movies/tv set in the 20th century. Its the stereotypical scene of a phone ringing in someone's bedroom and they turn on the light an answer even though its nighttime.
On YouTube you cannot control anything:

- YouTube can remove it

- people can store offline copies

On Peertube at least YouTube can't take it down which means you have more control over it.
