Some people overspend a lot on cars. Some people don't. I know a lot of people who drove 10+ year old Toyotas until they decided they wanted an electric car. Or who still drive 10+ year old Toyotas. Interestingly, some bought the car new and had a "drive it into the ground" mentality. Others bought them used. In both cases, their TCO for their cars averaged out to be quite low.

Even the people who bought new EVs seemed to get fairly good deals on interest rates. If you were getting high interest rates, you were probably trying to buy far too much car for yourself.
Android Auto and Apple Carplay start automatically. Those aren't apps you enable while actually driving.
This is like reading a article without looking at the table of contents. If something shouldn't be part of the article, you don't hide it by removing it from the table of contents, and you can't blame me for paging through the article page-by-page and therefore getting pages not in the table of contents.
archive.is and its variants have been a popular way to link to archived articles on HN, and elsewhere, for years now.

There's no reason to believe that mitchbob was doing anything other than trying to be helpful to users. Tons of legit HN users do that. Let's not pick on one to make a witch out of.
I’m all for mantras that give you the right mindset to achieve your goals, but I wonder whether it’s necessary or healthy to compare oneself to others.

Also, to what do you attribute the successes of those dumber people? Pure hard work?
The main worry has been that anti air missile systems are not isolated, to be effective they have to be integrated in a wide network with other missile systems, observation radars, flying radars, sensors on fighters, ships, etc. This is a complex computer network.

The systems operated by Greece and inherited by the Soviet Union in the cases of other Nato members are rather old with limited computational resources and limited software developed back in the 80s-90s.

In the case of the S-400 we are probably talking about millions of lines of code developed only years ago and potentially with an update schedule, there is absolutely no way to be sure there is no cutting edge malware that could either infiltrate the rest of the air-defense network, or just ship radar data back to Russia about the signatures of friendly f-35s, that's the real reason the US does not want to sell f-35s to Turkey.

It's one thing to pick up a return from an f-35 on your radar and another to be getting a return and also it's actual position along with IFF information. This data would be invaluable to the Russians and could actually undermine the f-35s stealth performance in a potential conflict in the future.
As a supplement for anyone who is unfamiliar with the communication side of things:

In our highly solution-focused (and -driven) societies it is hard to actually see much less adequately express underlying needs[0] to yourself and especially other people.
For example I'm very adept at leapfroging over all that 'chit-chat' about observations, feelings, emotions, needs and getting right to the juicy 'objective' of possible solutions, often at the dire expense of my actual needs and making me even more deaf to the needs of the other people involved.

Well, surprisingly a lot of tenacious conflicts aren't characterized by a lack of a set of solutions quite the opposite, they get stuck because of the unwillingness (of both parties) in considering to change one's 'strategies' in order to fulfill the underlying often unexpressed needs (as defined above).

At an impasse there are usually two disregarded meta-strageties at play in order to force a quick 'solution':

(1) My set of strategies had brought me success otherwise I wouldn't be in my advantageous position X so I will continue using them, no matter what.

(2) (At some point) I will say "yes" and ignore (some of) my needs in an attempt to appease.

As it is clear both (desperate) attempts are self-defeating (in the long term).

I watched a CISO come into a startup and take it from a laughing stock (outright fraudulant PCI audits and zero policies by predecessors) to world class compliance.

There was a lot of bull-dogging, confrontation, arguing, political back-stabbing, fights with nearly every developer. It was chaos. A lot of it was funny if you were the one sitting back eating popcorn. Most of the big fights involved him trying to get shit done while navigating executive level politics and rediculous antics.

This guy is a very rash person and can be abrasive if he "thinks you're dumb" but I don't know if it would have gotten done at the level he was able to do it any other way. It was literally war 24/7 for years.

Cultural Differences between a Tech company and a software sales company?
Both seem to sell software products but one seems to focus on building an exceptional product and one seems to focus on the customer.
This is pretty neat.

The radiation was a tell-tale sign of iron atoms that had been so battered that they lost nine electrons — the so-called “Fe X” (or “Iron 10”) line. The researchers checked another candidate and found the same trait. While neither object had the traditional appearance of a feeding black hole, it was hard to imagine what else could be doing such violence to iron atoms.
A battery, arguably along with storage, needs a very very good reason to not be upgradeable.

Old Nokia phones that are 20+ years old can still be used. PCs and consoles from the 90s are still perfectly usable with their original software. Smartphones have been 'good enough' for nearly a decade - why is there not a legitimate 'buy it for life' version?
T'y, but I don't think he is the author
I got the impression from the title that this was about product differences ... and then they just talk to marketing folks, whose job is it to use a term and stretch it until they kill it.

I feel like I’m readding an article where the same people who announce “red is back!” and a few months later they bemoan how everyone is wearing red now.
Once my car battery died, and I panicked. I don't work on cars, I literally had no idea how to even jump it. I had to watch a YouTube video, and get instructions from a local auto mechanic.

I was basically stuck in a car lease, and I have left my car sitting for about a month or so, only needing to move it to avoid a street cleaning ticket.

Not everyone is comfortable working on a car, and if you don't know what you're doing, this is extremely dangerous. For example, let's say you're not aware to never only support a car with a jack, if your jack slips, that could be the end.

I wouldn't call someone stupid for not wanting to take the risk of their $1,000 estate sell find stalling in the middle of the highway.

Plus let's just say you're poor poor. When I was much younger, I understood I could not afford both car expenses and rent. Luckily I was in a relatively transit friendly part of Los Angeles. So my 80$ a month bus pass did just fine.

Even if someone just gives you a car for free, you're going to spend at least $300 a month between gas and insurance in most places. If your incomes only $2,000, that extra $220 is going to hurt
I think everybody was sure you were talking about Kosovo and not Ukraine.
Not just the trivia of the origin. If we know why it was chosen, and have a better solution, we can start to advocate for it.

BJJ (and other martial arts) can also be good for developing social connections. You spar with a variety of people, and have the time before and after class to actually speak with them. You may have to hunt around for a good gym with a more positive community (I've had the pleasure of finding one, and the displeasure of being at one with people who took themselves too seriously), but it's pleasant.

But it's always better when the exercise itself is semi-social, not a solo activity. Cycling groups can work well or meeting people, but cycling on its own doesn't really help. Same with running and swimming.
A CISO can either be the sheriff who's there reign in the wild west, or a coach that can help the team achieve the goals they need to achieve in a safe way.

Almost all CISOs I've met fancy themselves as the sheriff.

Very few that I've met have the background or temperament to understand what the team is trying to achieve, and then help them make the necessary adjustments that help them achieve those goals safely.
I watch very little YouTube, probably <1h/mo on average but I continue to pay their $15 just so I don't have to see an ad. On desktop I can adblock but on mobile it sucks. I hate casting video (Chromecast) at a friends house and having to see an ad. For that alone I'll pay their stupid fee.
Yes, I always tell people to use AWS because of the nature of Google. What can you expect from a company that makes money by spying on people and forcing people to see ads?

I don't have any data on it, but I'd speculate that CGI is still fairly widely used. Though how widely it's used with Python is another issue. Regardless of how poorly designed the cgi module is, removing it without providing a one-module migration path in PyPI doesn't seem like an obvious win.
Democracy is not ineffective by definition. It has been kept ineffective so that the ruling elite can do what they want. Should the voters have the right to immediately remove a politician from power (not by protest, but by direct voting) things will look very different. Now, politicians don't serve the electorate because they simply can can afford it. It doesn't have to be that way. It is just that because the feedback loop is slow/broken and people loose faith in democracy.

If that is fixed, next battle will be for your mind (I am looking at you mass media).
It's Time We Used Cyber Dark Arts to Foil Putin
I didn't find it to be dismissive of PageRank as an innovative at the time, but I think it's fair to say it has not been thoroughly gamed out. Saying we shouldn't do this because it will eventually also be gamed doesn't seem like a strong argument to me.

I do think people generally upvote things they find valuable. I'm curious what the disconnect is there.
> How devastating were they really?

Well, we don't know, and won't for years perhaps, I should've clarified that I'm guessing about what will happen in the long-term, not asserting that Putin will say, "Oh gosh, look at the stock market, I'd better withdraw" in the next few days. But it does seem like the sanctions will have the effect of impoverishing and weakening Russia for decades.
With all the "IANAL" answers here, let me give you a different one:

if it's viable, I would try to host all data in the EU for all your EU customers regardless of the legal situation. Because the legal situation is likely to change further - just plain and simple, it's a risk, and if your cost in avoiding that risk is sufficiently low, that might be worth it. And you can advertise it as a benefit to your customers.
Usually best to wait till the fall, they’ll come up lovely come spring.

Accepting the most radical point of view of the state massacring civilians in another country is not "trying to wade through the immense amount of propaganda from both sides". Even if your friend "born and raised in Kyiv" is real, lived in Ukraine in recent decades and its their actual point of view that Ukrainians == Russians, that's still just an anecdote. And well, because of people with the views like that, horrible atrocities are justified.
China captures powerful US NSA cyberspy tool
It is completely irrelevant if Google takes a cut or not. Google uses the restaurant's brand name to enable one of their delivery partners to undercut the restaurant's own delivery system.

The nature of the partnership between Google and the delivery firm is not directly relevant to the restaurant's loss of revenue. They could be building a future business, they could be compensated in an indirect fashion (ex. those who pay more to AdSense get a preferential treatment) etc.

Why not just pick up the LG 5k or any number of 4k displays that are cheaper (and better) then the apple 27" in the case though?

It'd be great if, rather than just sending an email to a somewhat confusing calculator or pricing sheet, they'd show the potential cost increases alongside your actual bill so that you have 6 months to tweak, negotiate or move off the service if you really can't afford the price increases.

I don't get why it's not just "easier" to make the effects super obvious. If people are going to leave, they're going to leave.
It is a well known disinformation technique. Also used by terrorists to sow mistrust. Completely transparent in the current context.
AFAIK AWS have never increased prices on any specific product offering.

Your overall point still stands, agree you have to have a plan for the day your vendor decides to put the squeeze on (and that can take many forms).
Note that Wikipedia says that "[Global Times] is a daily tabloid newspaper under the auspices of the Chinese Communist Party's flagship People's Daily newspaper, commenting on international issues from a nationalistic perspective. The newspaper has been the source of various incidents, including fabrications and disinformation." Unclear if they captured code or are just rehashing Shadow Brokers docs.
I'm not sure what you mean by "not taking off".

I've seen scratch used in dozens of coding sessions for kids, and know it used used in hundreds of schools in the UK.

Yes, people only use scratch for a while, almost no-one is writing huge programs in Scratch, but that's not what it is for.
one of the advances bluetooth has over normal jacks is that it's now possible for headphones to have mics on them capable of answering calls

Headsets with mics on them did exist before bluetooth, and so did headsets with control buttons (source: my early-2000s portable mp3 player). The only thing bluetooth added to the mix is cross-device compatibility.
For me, the "sweet spot" between "tools for kids" and "real" tools is Pico-8. It uses a "real" language (Lua), but the graphics interface is much easier to grok than mucking about with shaders and whatnot. To me, it doesn't feel like a toy, it just feels like a simpler tool.

It's the tool that I use whenever I try teaching kids to program.
This is an overstated problem, in our experience. Most older GPUs that don't support Vulkan, DirectX 12, or Metal, but would be capable of running the game in the first place, support DirectX 11, which is one of the wgpu backends already. An OpenGL fallback on Linux is coming and will help address the remaining cases, but it won't perform well at all (and we're okay with that, since the percentage of our users who actually need it is quite small; Vulkan support on Linux has gotten really good, probably thanks to Valve's efforts).
I agree, gas prices are this huge political indicator that isn't quite as impactful as the media makes it out to be.

I wouldn't discount the fact that gas prices affect the poorest people the most, especially since location compromise is how many people save money on housing.

Still, gas is only one component of the total cost of driving.

Adjusted for inflation, the current price of gas is on the high side, but on the other hand it's been a downright bargain since the end of the Great Recession.

Once you adjust for both inflation and higher average MPG of typical Americans' cars, I highly doubt that we're paying the most we've ever paid for gas.

On top of that, the most popular cars in America are crossover SUVs, and while they're much more fuel efficient than the old SUVs of the mid-2000's, they still sacrifice about 5 MPG or more from their sedan equivalent.

I don't believe that Americans are making "sacrifices" while huge automakers like Ford and GM are completely discontinuing sedans from their lineups in favor of SUVs that categorically get worse MPG due to their inherent aerodynamic disadvantages. Americans have apparently made the choice to not make MPG their top priority for purchase decisions despite living through high gas prices barely more than 10 years ago.

In other words, the most economic cars sold in America (cars like the Nissan Versa and Mitsubishi Mirage) are also some of the most fuel efficient. The people who own crossover SUVs and have 2 kids or less really have no room to be moaning about gas prices, as they made a conscious choice to waste fuel in exchange for "convenience" or "driving posture."
there's a difference between "eager support/celebration of Barack Obama around the time of his election" (Digg was the exact same way! most of the internet was, at the time!) and "go to reddit.com while not logged in to see who you're supposed to hate today and what you're supposed to now believe if you're a follower of the Democratic Party line, which you had better be, if you're using this website" which is what it evokes today.
In theory, I agree with you, but on the whole, this is a rather elitist viewpoint.

The vast majority of the world uses a mobile phone to connect to the internet. While I do agree that web-based editors aren't as good as desktop-based editors, and that there's potential for abuse in the transactional nature of web-based editors, a web-based editor is the best that billions of people can manage.

It's not perfect, but I'd take a world with online code editors over a world where coding is only possible in a desktop environment. A world with more programmers and more people who are knowledgeable about how their digital lives really work is better than a world with fewer in the know, or fewer who are empowered to know due to technological limitations.

At the time there was an idea that normal PCs could never afford to run "professional" OSes like NT, Unix, or NeXTSTEP and thus BeOS was only competing with "PC" OSes like classic MacOS, Windows 95, or OS/2. In retrospect this was wrong, although it did take until 2001-2003 for real OSes to make their way to the mainstream.

That's not the only factor at play. Many to most applications are dominated by single thread performance. JavaScript's interpreters are single threaded, for example.

Something I don't often see, but it does come up here and there. One nice thing about the M1 is the performance is consistent as it doesn't have a massive auto-scaling boost involved. An Intel or AMD chip might start off at top speed single thread, but then something else spins up on another core, and you take a MHz hit on your primary thread to keep your TDP in spec. The background task goes away, and the MHz goes back up. Lots of performance jitter in practical use.

Interconnects and IO also consume power. You can't just scale small e-core counts without also hitting power walls there too.

All that said, I'd love to see some E-core only chips come out of intel targeted at thin clients and long battery life notebooks.

I find the reasoning to be ... flawed.

"Any additional module increases the maintenance cost for the Python core development team. The team has limited resources, reduced maintenance cost frees development time for other improvements." This really doesn't jibe with the "Hey guys we have tools to convert 2 to 3 so easily" and "we aren't breaking stuff." A good working library will continue to be a good working library until you break it.

"Modules in the standard library are generally favored and seen as the de facto solution for a problem. A majority of users only pick third-party modules to replace a stdlib module, when they have a compelling reason, e.g. lxml instead of xml. The removal of an unmaintained stdlib module increases the chances of a community-contributed module to become widely used."

First, part of the appeal of Python is that de facto standard. Recall all of the XKCD comics about it. I don't have to make choices about which of seventeen different Perl libraries I can maybe find that exist on CPAN and try to decide between them. This is one of the reasons why I fled Perl.

Second, why do we want a community-contributed module to be widely used? That's stated as a goal but without explanation. If there is a widely used community-contributed module that is better, put it in the standard library.

I could almost like "A lean and mean standard library benefits platforms with limited resources like devices with just a few hundred kilobyte of storage ..." except that there ought to be a mechanism for cutting parts out of the standard library anyway if they aren't being used by your particular space-starved platform. This doesn't actually solve the problem being posed. It isn't the sunau module that is making or breaking the memory budget -- find a way to dis-include unused stdlib modules for projects.

Listen to this: "The crypt module has fundamental flaws that are better solved outside the standard library." So either fix them or move whatever is being used into the standard library.

Now, we can quibble about individual modules (I am rather fond of cgi, it's just so damned handy if you want to make something small without hauling in entire frameworks), but that misses the point -- the standard library exists to free us from the burden of sifting through N implementations of whatever it is we want to solve, where the complete coverage of the issue varies from "the happy path" to "eighty percent of the problem but sadly you need to do work in the twenty percent not covered."
> hey whaddaya know, that EU membership is sufficient to ensure that Finland is in the West and has full access to Europe (and vice-versa).

As long as "full access" is defined as "except for any actual defense guarantees", that is. The EU one isn't actually that.
