While I enjoy Not Just Bikes as a channel, it goes a little deep into the "cars are literally the root of every problem there has ever been even accounting for the period before cars existed."

I live in the city. It's loud af, but general traffic is only a small part of it. Essential services like police, ambulance, and fire sirens, and trash collection are massively loud. Then you've got bars blasting music on Fridays. People shouting, laughing, and, in general, existing (often till the wee hours of the morning). They there's the meth-fueled tweakers shouting obscenities. Construction noises. Road work. etc..

Density in general is loud.
OK, to sum up, terrible in Italy:

1) to find no place to sleep if not booked in advance the day of a major sport event

2) no really, do not try going in a city when there is a major football match without having booked some accomodation

3) if you really insist on going to a city when there is a football match arrive early

4) do not travel (in the event of a football match) by train

5) beware of picpockets

6) Italians drive fast and somehow impredictably

7) you shouldn't go bare footed

#1 to #5 and #7 are (IMHO) little more than common sense and apply to most if not all countries.

Maybe #6 is the only one actually related to Italy, though it probably applies to a number of other not-perfect countries, like Austria and Germany.

Personally I was mostly just happy to be getting back into the office occasionally because I'm tired of working 3 feet away from my bed. I can see work-from-home working really well if you are lucky enough to have a big place with an extra office, but for me it totally and completely sucked.
Also from wikipedia:

> Since Liebeck, McDonald's has not reduced the service temperature of its coffee. McDonald's current policy is to serve coffee at 176–194 °F (80–90 °C),[37] relying on more sternly worded warnings on cups made of rigid foam to avoid future liability, though it continues to face lawsuits over hot coffee.[37][38] The Specialty Coffee Association of America supports improved packaging methods rather than lowering the temperature at which coffee is served. The association has successfully aided the defense of subsequent coffee burn cases.[38] Similarly, as of 2004, Starbucks sells coffee at 175–185 °F (79–85 °C), and the executive director of the Specialty Coffee Association of America reported that the standard serving temperature is 160–185 °F (71–85 °C).

So according to this page you've linked, the coffee was not unusually hot and McDonalds and Starbucks are presently serving coffee just as hot that could give you 3rd degree burns today.

(Since people in this thread seem so jumpy, let me explicitly disclaim that I think the lawsuit and outcome were warranted because she was severely burned as a consequence of McDonald's defective cup design.)

> I can think of many recent occurrences where people who think they are acting virtuously, are in fact the perpetrators of harm, without knowing it; so convinced they are of their own virtue.

Case in point is that nearly every terrible political act in history has been perpetrated by someone proclaiming to be fighting the good fight. They all had their rationalisations. I can’t think of any examples of political groups that declare themselves pro-evil.

In a sense, this is encouraging. It means there is widespread low tolerance for transparently evil ideas.

In another sense, this indicates we have widespread low capability to determine which ideas are actually virtuous, and which merely have a veneer of virtue (masking great harm).
Of course it was realistic to resist, there are many examples of people that did. Ex: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oskar_Schindler

Is it realistic to resist and live comfortably? No, but you have the choice, and the choice you make is a reflection of your character.
To your first point, I suspect that hacking your own brain and pituitary gland fits with the ethos of hacker culture. What’s cooler than going to the doctor and getting the same SSRIs as every other chump when you can hack together your own medication?

In reality this is why we need serious research into these drugs. I am sure there are therapeutic benefits and also yet unknown risks. Would be nice to study them formally.

To your second point: I know very few people without mental illness. GAD and generalized depression account for a large part of it, but so do neurodivergenicies like autism. Chances are much higher than you think that you yourself have one or more condition like this. That’s not to say I wish for you to have one, just that statistically speaking lots of people have them, so much so that the current advice is to establish mental healthcare same as you do with a primary care physician and have at least yearly checkups.

You clearly misunderstood the point of mentioning being rear ended, which wasn’t that I’d be rear ending you, but instead the dumbass who doesn’t know that. It was really a warning about property damage to your own car from stopping unnecessarily, which is why I mentioned legal and actual fault since we’re discussing California.

And no, being rear ended is not an automatic “they should have been further away,” including potentially in this circumstance. Full stop in a travel lane on an interstate and report back on your fault determination if you survive.

What is it about driving that makes threads personal? The person was totally wrong in a heavily-read forum is all, and that’s your cue to put me in my place for pointing it out or something?

A shock in the sense of a systemic shock, sure.

In the sense of a surprise to observers, no. Not really. Certainly should not have been a shock at all to anyone paying any sort of attention from around the 20th of December.

fair enough, but didn't Elon specifically say he didn't care about the economics of the whole endeavor? Doesn't this, essentially, underpin the whole endeavor?
As someone who quit drinking alcohol quite a long time ago ( which I am quite sure is why I am alive today) I agree that one of the "side affects" of LSD is that it helps one to come to the realization that they are killing themselves from a bad habit. I cannot say that it killed my desire to drink, and I did drink for a while after an experience with what might have been LSD. An interesting historic tidbit is that the founder of Alcoholics Anonymous was introduced to LSD and thought it was a tremendous tool to fight Alcoholism. By that time a foundation had sprung up around AA, and the board members urged Bill Wilson not to proselytize on the subject less it incur bad publicity for the organization( one of their traditions is to avoid controversy on outside subjects) Since the name of Bill Wilson was synonymous with AA he agreed to quit talking on the subject.
Hacker news was built by silicon valley tech people, has a lot of silicon valley tech people posting. The author doesn't need to write for every single possible constituency.

There are a lot of people at google who don't come from privileged backgrounds. They might have won an iq lottery or something, but someone working hard to get a job at a good company doesn't make them privileged. What's next? Elon is "privileged"?
WP security has come a long way. I've had a site up for over a decade, and while I used to be VERY nervous, now with automatic updates and a fair amount of code-hardening, it really hasn't been a problem.
"Certainly" is a wild stretch. That may be true for mild cases, but then there are people out there where the Tinnitus sound is louder than 100 decibel. One cannot learn to ignore that, especially not when it is permanent.

I realize now that my wording could have been different. Just as my comment made the assumption we were talking about the culpability portion of the case, many other commenters assumed we were talking about just the injury portion of the case. I did try to search for info. But like this thread, I was only finding stuff about the temperature and the injury.

Another commenter brought up the defective cup design here. This was the type of info I was looking for related to culpability that I couldn't find. This is what I like about HN - the google search results were not useful since it's (appearently) such a divisive topic, but a well informed HN'er had the additional info.

Corruption is a rot, slow, like a corpse decomposing. It's an ongoing process that is only opposed by daily actions of cleaning off barnacles. America collected a lot of barnacles from those four years, and the rate at which they've been purged is probably too low. The recent spate of anti-voter laws and gerrymandered districts just shows the steal is ongoing.
This is the same argument for any tax. Tollbooths, for example, have quantifiable deficiencies, but feel more fair... to some.

Get a lawyer.

I used to work in LegalTech, and contracts have a ton of little bits and things that can get the outcome Amazon would want in a legal battle. Provisions, Certain wording, etc. I've seen all kinds of nasty shit employers try to pull, from trying to prevent interactions with (any) "institutions", to my salary being "conferred" (a gift, not consideration) to me by the company at it's discretion.

For one, in this comment section, I see people suggesting you move to California, but in my experiences contracts often have a Governing Law provision, usually set in a jurisdiction the assigning party would feel comfortable in. Again, not a lawyer, I don't know how California's law works, but, if you worked in California, and the Governing law provision says Delaware, well, guess where you're (probably) flying to for those proceedings.
> It may not be very hard to maintain, but you still have to maintain it.

When the maintenance is "ensure auto updates are on, and don't do anything that would not get updated automatically" it's not like it requires regular effort.

> Whereas if you just have a collection of articles that you want to keep around as an archive, if you convert them to a static site, you can basically forget about them afterward...

Your web server, your operating system, etc. still require at bare minimum the same level of maintenance.

You can outsource that maintenance to someone else of course, but you can do the same with WP as well.

--

My point is that WP alone doesn't massively increase the maintenance burden, it's what people tend to do with (to?) WP that increases the burden and eventually leads to unmaintained sites.
>The only one that matters is if their MBP is over 2 years old

I wasn't just asking because of the potential wear on the battery from abuse, but M1 laptops did not exist 2 years ago. Although the intel macbooks still had great battery life for their size. People who put their device through it's paces and wonder why the battery is draining so fast are a special breed that's for sure.
I agree, circumstantial evidence and "reasonable" logic would lead you to conclude that if he was violent or threatening, they would have called the police, not pulled him aside for a stern talking to; especially in a state as open/free about guns as Kentucky is.

I seem to remember as well that the coffee was reported as instantly boiling when sugar was added.

If that's the case (and no reason to disbelieve the plaintiff), that's a superheated liquid. In other words, it is a liquid above its own boiling point and waiting for a cavitation event (something for bubbles to hold on to) to instantly boil. And this seems to coincide with the coffee explosion and burns from the plantiff.

HN has unique demographics.

Mostly science and business literature adults. Other platforms have wider demographics.
You really have to “be somebody” in order to have a non-compete enforced against you. If you’re like most people the company you left couldn’t care less where you go. Yes yes, there’s exceptions, but in general they’re rarely enforced.
The wikipedia article for this lawsuit claims that McDonalds has not reduced the temperature of their coffee, and that it continues to cause 3rd degree burns to this day.
psst, you don't have to care that's the neat part. You are responding though so you have chosen to care, that's on you.

"push your anti-bicyclist view" lol, my what?

"Why do you even feel the need to drive them to school? To dangerous for them to walk/bike because of other cars is my guess." I am going to assume you have no children and no idea what you are talking about and that 90% of your daily concern is focused on you 'pro-bicyclist view'. My kids are young, school starts at 7:30 am. Their school is a good distance away. of course I care about them getting hit by cars, your argument is really bad. Its like when people in the US complain about police brutality and some genius retorts with "well why don't you live in communist china and see how you like it." Its ok to focus on multiple issues friend. I wish both you and your 'pro-bicyclist' agenda well. :)
> Is bicycling so hard that the extra burden of having to stop at a stop sign and then get back up to speed stopping people from bicycling?

yes, along with other safety considerations.

>For a long time I thought "A bicycle is vehicle" is common sense and completely workable

no, the "vehicular cycling" doctrine is terrible. bicycles are obviously not the same kind of thing as motor vehicles; treating them the same is a foolish consistency. in countries that recognize this fact (netherlands, denmark), cycling is many times more common and far safer than in the US.

>As it is bicycle activists seem to think everybody is responsible for the safety of cyclists except the cyclists.

pilots of heavier and faster moving vehicles have a greater propensity for harm and therefore should take greater responsibility for the safety of more vulnerable road users.

> explicitely not ok for 'social fit' to be a firing offence, isn't it?

Most employment is at will. That permits firing someone for not being a good fit. (You can't define "fit" however you feel. But someone not getting along with their colleagues and not responding to feedback would generally be fireable for it.)
It was! Now it’s called LTSC!
Its not entitlement.

It’s for their safety and courtesy, telling them that a car is passing because they (the cyclists) aren’t following the rules and interfering with the flow of traffic.

At minimum, know that you’re giving up your right of way as a cyclist.
Couple of issues with this, the first being a "rudimentarily activated using a Generic Key" ISO that's not from Microsoft. Can you really trust this source and technically at this point, it's piracy. Secondly, once the Microsoft lawyer's get wind of this, expect it to be shut down rather quickly.

I'm okay with providing documentation, tools and scripts to remove the cruft and increase privacy within Windows 10, but the ISO linked from a Telegram channel is dubious at best.
Why is it in the best interest of the shareholders for Musk to back off? He is offering almost double the target price of $30 set by the largest shareholder, Goldman. Goldman thinks company is worth $30 but rejected $55. That’s the opposite of shareholder interest. This only protects them from the actual take over, it’s a desperation move.
They were angry because said factories took away their livlihoods, and that of their children as well. And because there was no social net in place to soften the decline in demand for their trades.

Russia is extraordinarily weak and is being put into a sandbox for containment purposes. They're a non-issue (other than the nukes).

Trump wasn't elected because of Russia. He was elected because the voters were and are upset and he represented an opportunity to stab the establishment in the eye (whereas Hillary fully represented the establishment). Trump won for the same reason Bernie Sanders came so close to winning his party's nomination, and the establishment detests Trump for the same reason they dislike Sanders (even though he's far more palatable to them than Trump is, they still don't want him in power either).

* please also note: just because the voters are upset and choose someone like Trump, that obviously doesn't mean they're acting rationally toward their own well-being, don't confuse the two things. They can be upset, they can be choosing something that isn't in their best interests in terms of solving their various problems (eg healthcare costs), and they can be throwing a voter tantrum (perceived anti-establishment), all in one.
I wound want with: no operating system, no HDMI, no internet, no transmit, no OSD (a simple segmented display or lights could indicate mode/input selection, if needed). Input can be composite, component, VGA, Digi-RGB, etc. I should put my own computer, which can be used to provide such functions as captions, volume, picture setting, etc. I should want a remote control that has numbers on it (which can be used with the computer to control the TV-oriented functions).

Is there possibility to disassemble the TV set to get the display and then connect that to your own equipment, somehow, if you do not want all of the other functions?

One comment in the linked article says:

> A panel with a bunch of inputs should not need firmware updates. Personally, I’d go simpler: one input (HDMI or DisplayPort), no remote, automatically turns on and off depending on signal availability. Maybe with a knob for brightness.

That could work, but I don't like HDMI; other than that it looks like a good idea. (My idea is Digi-RGB, which I had written the specification; I think is much better than HDMI)
The taxes are levied on "video service providers" in order for those providers to secure the right-of-way to lay cable. Essentially, it's a tax to pay for the providers using municipal infrastructure (streets, utility poles), burying it if necessary, etc - for the purposes of laying new cable.

Netflix and Hulu don't own or lay cable, they don't need right-of-way. As I understand it, the tax is already levied on cable providers and ISPs. I don't think it's good or bad, because Netflix/Hulu will just charge customers in those cities more (or refuse service).

It's a bit dumb to search for a legal technicality in the state law to raise taxes and avoid public scrutiny, if the cities need money from their residents they can raise property taxes (or cut services). But my guess is that is less politically expedient. However the tax payers now have to foot the bill for the lawsuit, so who really wins?
Yeah I can second this. I've been using native LSP since 0.5 nightly and it's been nothing but solid. The only thing that occasionally gave me issues were tree-sitter crashes (unrelated to LSP), but even those seem to have all been fixed by now.
Just FYI, this also applies while you work there. This makes it almost impossible to do any open source work, or have personal projects that you'd like to retain ownership of.

It's one of the reasons I left Amazon after nearly a decade. There was stuff I wanted to do and the non compete made it impossible.
If that is honest take away, then it means the article is badly written.

Edit: I don't mean it as a joke. If you read just a little about how Germany post 1933 functioned, it was nothing like social media today. The level of threat and risk and associated violence is nowhere similar.

If the article makes honest impression that it is the same, it is not representing Germany well at all.
> I can’t imagine any of the stop signs here in Los Angeles being able to be replaced by yield signs.

That's because the roads, as they currently are, were designed for stop signs. Removing those stop signs is going to usually involve changing the roads a bit too.
I only really see here stop signs when there is either very poor visibility or very high speed difference. In my mind it works well enough.
