Nearly everything about vehicles has US federal and state regulation. Headlight regulations being stricter in the US are why US versions of European cars up until about the 1980s had different headlights than their home markets.

49 CFR § 393, FMVSS 108 and a crapload of other regulations and regulatory interpretations. In general, these make IRS instructions seem a marvel of clarity.

FMVSS-108 S5.5.11(a) talks about brightness.

First - You make this claim "HN doesn’t promote comments based on a secret, politically motivated algorithm. " what evidence do you have for this secret politically motivation algorithm?

Censorship and Fact Checking: You are claiming that ideas are being censored via fact checking. However you state multiple examples hence you are aware of them and the ideas aren't being censored. The reason for this is that multiple services exist and therefore what is the damage of Twitter moderating with fact checks?

The Election:

Hillary Clinton conceded Nov 9th 2016
"“Last night, I congratulated Donald Trump and offered to work with him on behalf of our country,” Clinton said." [1] To be fair she rolled this back [4] but has she made it her entire platform or have the Democrats used it to whip up anger?

As to "Democrats" who make claims of election fraud or videos; are they elected officials, if so how many? I can become a member of a party by filling out a form or just state that I'm a "Republican" and say anything as well. Would it be fair to then say "Republicans are saying X"? That sounds like an easy way to damage the reputation of a group that basically has open membership.

The difference between previous elections and now is the number of election lawsuits, the amount of actual Republican politicians making the claim, the amount of time and number of news outlets discussing it, the January 6th attack, the number of protests that are still happening, states planning to send alternative electors, and the former president still claiming wide spread fraud.

In fact Trump has claimed 2016, the election he won, was fraudulent as well [2] and just last month filed a lawsuit about it [3] This isn't an argument about censorship only against comparing then and now.

> They also didn't do any research on why a mountain of legislature, regulation, and case law that protects minority shareholders exists.

Well, no, because the assumption among crypto libertarians is those laws and regulations are a product of a government that's a) incompetent and/or b) corrupt.

If you take it as a first principle that the current system is the one that's broken and that you're part of a grand mission to reinvent it, of course you're not going to waste your time trying to learn from it.
> What makes you think he is willing to sacrifice short term revenue?

Because we already know from his past behavior that he's willing to make long-term bets. And his statement that he doesn't view his interest in Twitter as a money-making venture.

> He sued Top Gear because of a somewhat negative car review of the original Tesla Roadster

That's a very biased way to frame it. IIRC Top Gear admits that they faked part of the review to make Tesla look bad, after Tesla proved that they had.

Believing in free speech doesn't mean you can't sue people that you believe have violated laws.

Or perhaps he simply made a mistake of judgement going after them legally and was wrong to do so. That's also not inconsistent with a belief in free speech.

Running Lineage on AT&T has drastically reduced the number of compatible phones due to the hard requirement for VoLTE (voice over LTE) on a small set of authorized phones.

I had just upgraded my OnePlus 3 to a 5 when this was announced, so I purchased a Pixel 3a XL by the deadline (which fortunately has VoLTE in AOSP).

I moved my phone to Verizon for a few reasons, but Lineage struggles with VoLTE and this is a big reason for old phones in a drawer.

I worked at a company where the scrum master told us that a story point had to be a fibonacci number. Has anyone heard of this?

The original Agile Manifesto demonstrates the collective wisdom of people who have written a lot of software. Note that the Agile Manifesto doesn't mention a certified scrum master, or any role similar to it. It says that business people and developers should work together. It does not say that a certified scrum master should leave the stand-up meeting every morning to spend an hour giving a status report to the CTO.

The area which may get you closer to low-level system programming as Java backend dev is HFT work, eventually OpenJDK/JVM contributions but that is very niche. Still it may be quite far from firmware/OS/bare-metal systems programming.

Anyway 1.5yoe is still early in the career. For junior roles companies may rather seek enthusiastic candidates with self-learning potential to grow in their environment and some commercial experience may be just nice to have.

I would scratch my itch with side-projects - demos, blogs, community activity to show off to prospective companies. I did it like that in the past to get foot into Java shop doors, 22yoe Java dev here :)
Ask HN: What benefits does your Seed/Series A startup provide?
Throwaway to collect unbiased opinions. My employer is early stage. Since we're hoping to raise some funding soon, it is time to establish a competitive set of benefits to attract candidates. I have a few data points, but I know you all have more. I was hoping you would share the following --

- Size of company / funding round

- Current benefits package

- Desired benefits package

- Any other comments, thoughts, or anecdotes you would like to share

Thanks in advance!
Unless we are some true outliers, like way the hell off the farm, we are likely to share with them some basics in terms of continuing to exist amidst neighbors and ignorance.

You could try sticking various forms of interceptors on it's path, at those speeds it's probably not maneuvering so relatively easy to intercept if you have warning.

I'm not sure to what degree we could deflect it or mitigate the damage, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was a sizeable one. Any collision is going to convert a ton of energy from kinetic energy to thermal energy, which should in large part radiate away before impacting earth. We could also do various clever things like putting hydrogen targets in the way which would undergo fusion upon collision with an object moving at relativistic speeds.
I wasn't talking about coordinates. Just commands attached to timestamps. If Player B shoots player B at t=5 and then Player A says they stopped moving at t=2, then Player B's shot will miss since they didn't know Player A had already stopped 3 seconds ago.
I think you're right to a point. During the period Uber and Lyft pulled out of Austin in protest of its background check ordinance, several other companies sprung up immediately and appeared to thrive until the big boys came back.

The barrier to entry is actually incredibly low, assuming you have a base of people willing to drive already as happened in Austin. You don't need to employ drivers or own cars, or anything else in the physical world that eats up capital. It's literally only an app.
1. Electricity is not an energy source, you need to burn something else to create it.

2. Wind, Solar, Nuclear and Hydro can not be built with electricity at scale, you need coal, oil and gas to melt steel and burn lime stone for concrete.

3. You cannot make food with electricity at scale; tractors, trucks and fertilizers need hydrocarbons.

4. The tree is the best solar panel and battery in one, it created all coal, oil and gas on the planet. Only snag is that it takes a couple of hundred thousand years for the trees to become coal, oil and gas!

5. Going into space is a completely meaningless exercise until we can establish that we can colonize another planet self-sustainably. We are very far away from making that happen because it would need trees and an atmosphere which take more time to terraform than we have hydrocarbons left on Earth to still reach Mars f.ex at scale (enough people to bootstrap the new planet) when it's fully terraformed.

These combined make it pretty clear that the only realistic option is to consume less energy. Stop driving. Stop flying. Live in a smaller space. Work from home. Consume less of everything and try to produce something meaningful with what you allready have!

Find a purpose in quality, instead of quantity.

You chose threads primarily from 2019. We are now in 2022. So threads and comments from 3 years ago are mostly not relevant. Some threads are even prior to Vlang ever being released (March 2019 comments versus release date of language in June 2019).

One of the four investment themes: "American Dynamism: Investing in founders and companies that support the national interest".

Haha. No thanks.

Are there any seed funds that invest in "supporting human progress"?
Which could be their first mistake. YC gets a lot of signal by requiring people to clearly answer so many questions. YC's questions are really good and it wouldn't have been a bad idea to wholesale copy them like some other's have. Not least of all because then founders could apply quickly using copy-paste.

I suspect someone could out-compete YC just by obtaining the YC application data and funding on that basis alone, eschewing the interview process entirely as it very possibly introduces more noise than signal. It'd take some guts though, kinda like starting YC in the first place took guts.
The UK sells weapons. Should they be blamed for anyone who is affected by them? Regardless of your own opinion they would argue no. So they can’t be hypocritical.

You should check out the post we're commenting on, it has graphs for this exact metric.

Spoiler: Google's model with 3x the parameters does pass average human in a couple categories, but not at all. I don't think GPT-3 does in any.

It's doubly puzzling to me because you have access and are asserting it feels like an average human to you. It's awesome and it does magical stuff, I use it daily both for code and prose. It also majorly screws up sometimes. It only at an average human level if we play word games with things like "well, the average human wouldn't know the Dart implementation of the 1D gaussian function. Therefore it's better than the average human."
There's so much that's factually wrong with this comment I don't know where to start. 1. The UK does have a Bill of Rights (It's different in England and Scotland). The English one pre-dates the US Bill of rights by a century[0]. 2. It does have a constitution, but not a written constitution in the American sense[1]. 3. The Queen doesn't nominate Bishops; she rubber stamps nominations by a committee who are approved by the PM. 4. The Queen does not vote in elections.

This analogy would almost work, but the program actually makes others' computers vulnerable. So, it is more like deciding not to fill out form K7804 if a bunch of people's kids were on top of a schoolbus.

And also, disclosure actually makes attackers aware of the vulnerability. So, it is like informing a radio station which will broadcast out the message. And while many bus drivers listen to this ratio station, it is actually really popular among a set of people who enjoy crashing into misconfigured buses like this to cause mayhem.

I'm not sure how to fit the state sponsored bus crashers into the analogy. Actually I'm beginning to think it isn't a very useful analogy at all.
And you're saying analyzing a data set and making observations isn't math?

What about this hypothetical data set makes you so uncomfortable?
This is an interesting approach. I'm taking some CS courses starting from this summer (advanced programming this summer and data structure this fall) and hopefully can get to either compiler or OS next year, probably both actually.

I think porting a niche language to a MCU or write a tiny OS for it could be bery approachable.

For the former definition I'd even treat say developing Airflow operators to be sort of sys prog. It's stretchy but gives me the same kind of satisfaction. Not sure if OP agrees though.
I think this is a bit reductive.

I’ve definitely been a part of teams where we came up with ideas as a team. Individuals contributed, but the actual innovation came from the collective bouncing back-and-forth of ideas.

We could get pedantic and say “it was still individuals coming up with the ideas” but that’s needlessly splitting hairs and in my experience it’s the team environment/cohesion that facilitates people coming up with said ideas.
Another disturbing issue is the 'laundering' of DMCA analogues into other countries through trade-deals and other extra-political processes, with the general apathy and sweeping under the rug that precedes these changes.

While not directly related to anti-circumvention, the only recent positive development in the user-rights of proprietary software I can recall is an EU case by a private software vendor against the Belgian government in that courts ruled that reverse-engineering and patching of 'issues' in legitimately obtained software was not a crime and therefore the plaintiff lacked a case, even when a license prohibition applied.

Some persons were unconvinced of impact because defendant was Belgian government (they have taxpayers foot the legal bill) but the facts involved are not trivial because there have been cases with the reverse-engineering and patching of legitimately obtained video-games for purposes that are not piracy that did not end up with a positive outcome.

I see the next decade going one of two ways. Big companies attempt to attach criminal liability to perceived violations of their licenses or the likes of anti-trust wake up and we see more reinforcement of user-rights similar to the EU case.

> There is no constitution, bill of rights, and while there are elections in the mainland

The UK is a constitutional monarchy and does have a bill of rights.

> nominates huge numbers of Bishops to the British Parliament

It's a bit more nuanced than that. The Queen doesn't nominate anyone to Parliament, at least not in the way you're implying. Just like she has to sign a bill into law before it has any effect, she does so as a ceremonial function rather than with a critical eye which is exactly the same as with nominations like this.

To take any action but that which is recommended to her by relevant (elected) parties would result in a pretty big crisis that would ultimately see her ceremonial roles stripped.

> Many hereditary "Peers" hold title and they cannot prevent Bills from Passing but they can hold them up and amend them.

The house of lords is a pretty good check on the house of commons. Implying it's purely a thing that functions to "hold up" bills is rather incorrect.

> Britain even them claimed the mantle of "World Oldest Democracy"/ "Cradle of Democracy".

I've never seen such a thing, have you got a source?
Doesn't it strike you as ironic to shoot out a claim as reductionist as "Modern software is crap." and defend the subtleties. But also call out (what I felt was) an obviously hyperbolic statement in response to another hyperbolic statement without regarding the underlying message?

People in the US and in Lebanon (most of the world too) make countless of posts vilifying and wishing politicians dead.

The guy is a Christian doctor from Lebanon visiting for tourism/work. He has no impact or connections on houthis.

I also promise there’s countless of Lebanese people with similar or worse tweets visiting UAE.

Putting my conspiracy hat on:

Elections are coming up in Lebanon, arresting this doctor will make major news in Lebanon.

This will illicit two types of reaction there, people will be cheering this person’s arrest or will be cheering for a more hardline stance and distancing against UAE.

There are parties that claim to have good connections to UAE royalty (more like serfs) who will use this to say that this wouldn’t happen under their rule.

> Feminism painted itself into a corner in the 1990s when it embraced the word "girl".

They embraced a common diminutive as a metonym for a woman. This is commonly used as an act of empowerment, e.g. "queer", "gay", "yankee". "Girl power" is in the same genre. It elevates women rather than diminishes girls. It's more of a linguistic power move than a failure of purity.
