'They will also lay out that users of self-driving cars will not be responsible for crashes. Instead insurance companies, not individuals, will be liable for claims in many circumstances, the DfT said.'

So the liability rests with your insurer and I suppose they are just going to suck this up?

I try to always have a portable am radio with me. My favorite two radios are the Sony SRF-M37W (a favorite among blue collar workers, like electricians. It fits in the overalls.), and CC pocket radio.

I've had a problem with anxiety, and loneliness, over the years.

I just need something in the background.

I miss the old time radio programs, and Art Bell.

If had money I'd buy up any AM radio frequency, and put out new material. Even as a kid, I preferred AM old time theater to tv.
What a bizzare analogy and false equivalence. Where indigenous populations are declining, it's mostly due to the consequences of the global economic system that ethnic Europeans participate in, as well as outright persecution and colonialism. We already are replacing them.
The author's example for x^2 + x could be written with the first two symbols swapped. With this it looks fine to me. Putting the 2 first here is like putting the x first in "2x" such that it becomes "x2". I think also maybe if the lines above and below had curved ends so you could see where they start and end clearly then this could be not so bad notation.

Have several years experience dealing with supply chain from the retailer side in the past, and your comment is spot on.

Anything that is: expected to be in demand during Q4/Xmas season, manufactured in Asia, electronics, etc., demand planning and orders are in minimum 3-6 months in advance.

Even if a retailer wants more supply, many manufacturers are extremely hesitant to overproduce.

Here's some rough napkin math to help illustrate the cost of being overstock (caveat: I have no idea actual costs of video games, using best guess), applies to both retailers and manufacturers:

$60 MSRP Switch game, cost to retailer: $48 ($12 profit/unit)

Let's say a retailer orders 100k units of a game in Q2 for the upcoming holiday season, but sells only 70k units during Q4. 70k * $12 = $840k profit. Meanwhile, 30k * $48 = $1.4M of inventory is sitting there, that cash is tied up so the company can't buy inventory of new games releasing in the future, and there's some non-trivial cost for each subsequent month that merchandise sits unsold in the warehouse. That's for under-selling forecast by 30%... now imagine if you're off by 50% or more an any individual game.
California (like most places) can clearly benefit from high quality rail infrastructure:

- more pleasant commutes over greater distances

- reduced housing market pressure near major offices

- reduced noise and air pollution compared to motor vehicles (for the same carrying capacity)

But how is it so expensive?

> humidity sensing

Anyone have links to working designs for humidity controlled fans or similar - preferably Raspberry Pi?

I want an indoor sensor and an outdoor sensor, and to run the fan only occasionally (maybe 10 minutes a day) and only when outdoor humidity is much lower then indoor humidity. For holiday sleepout, that sometimes gets damp, but outdoors is sometimes high humidity so no point running fan in that case!

I've looked at household ducted fans, but they don't really do what I want.
What scares me the most about this story is how easily it could've been a small software shop running their entire operations on GitHub getting DCMA'd without any merit, and just losing access to an important repo within 24 hours. And imagine they don't know about Hacker News. Or they posted something which didn't get enough upvotes for the offending company to respond and resolve it quickly.

As a software developer, I've surrendered so much autonomy for the sake of convenience. When it works 99% of the time, things are awesome. But god forbid you are the 1%, cause there is usually no talking to real people to get support. The only recourse is shouting about it on Twitter/HN and hope someone notices, thereby leaving everything to chance - that just makes me sad to my core.

If there wasn't an element of cancel culture then Brendan Eich would be Mozilla's CEO and not the incompetent CEO they currently have.

Don't get me wrong, I profoundly disagree with Brendan Eich's political views, I am for same-sex marriage and I'm very much a liberal when it comes to any moral leanings. That doesn't stop the fact that Brendan Eich being ousted of Mozilla for his intolerant political views is a shame and set back Mozilla considerably.
Of course but I cannot ever pay that amount so what would be the point from their side. It would be more sensible to stop after they run out of money on my CC.

Denser? Probably - if anything because Rome's population was more spread out to start with and numbers fell fairly dramatically at various points.

More layered? I doubt it. Byzantium was much more stable for centuries, Rome was officially and unofficially conquered several times and mutated fashions very often. Obviously the differences might look more striking in Istanbul because of the Ottoman conquest.
Correct! (Unsure if you actually recognize me or just going by statistics here :) )

Good questions.

> Do you have clear milestones and performance metrics?

Milestones yes, performance metrics not so much. Main reason here is that we serve different clients and we extend their existing strategies/work flows. So some times it's hard to measure stuff. Nonetheless in the past we did not pass milestones on time and thus questions were raised (esp. from clients).

So I guess we should start to build up some metrics. Any suggestions?

> Think about what actual problem you have

Main argument is about trust. We want to have provide an open work culture, so that everyone can openly speak about anything. If there are troubles (e.g. with performance) we try to encourage everyone to speak openly about it and to find solutions.

Secondly some times people are not as responsive (in terms of communication) as we initially agreed and usually re-negotiate every now and then.

And third: yes, there was decreased productity - and still is from time to time - so we openly try to find a solution with the affected people to increase it again. Unfortunately decreased productivity is not backed by a lot of data, but by day to day

So I'd guess confirmation bias is also some factor for the company.

> Do you pay your developers well enough [...]

I'm not in the position to know exact numbers, but what I've heard so far is that they are compensated well. Nonetheless I don't know exact details. But I know that they don't get a compensation like people in Europe.

----

Yes, one could boil this down to control (as mentioned in another comment), but I don't think it's that easy. If we agree on a contract, then I (personally) expect that each site of the contract is fullfilling their duties. And our contract clearly states that the company must be informed about side-projects and other work. There is no direct penalty if one works a second job, but there will be a huge trust issue.

Disambgiuating who is who, gives you this idea: powerful well connected groups hunt you down if you make fun of them.

Obviously if you attack someone, there is going to be some repercussion. If you are like me, and have no stake in this fight, then why defend either side?
Nobody has been arrested in the UAE for consensual same-sex conduct since 2015. There are a lot of gay clubs openly operating in Dubai.
There is a lot of value in rendering the shell of an app on the server and populating the rest on the client. The outer layout of a given view is mostly static. Doing this correctly gives you stable loading with no reshuffling as the rest loads.

And some views in apps can have page-y aspects like reports that might as well be static. Though this is an optimisation, and can be deferred till later.
I was focusing on turbine elements with temperatures well in excess of 1000 deg C, which is much higher than the temperatures described above.

Indeed, exhaust gases are even hotter.

I believe turbine elements are cooled by grouch internal channels these days, which is quite mind blowing.
Funny that you advocate for manual things while I have the feeling we do too much manual and advocate for the opposite.

Especially the error scenarios are bad. They cost you time no one measures.

Manual processes are also difficult to sync across multiple team members and you need tooling around it to make sure manual things happen.

My mantra / priority looks more like this:

1. Try not to do it at all

2. Make it automated

3. Do it manually with a heartbeat system

I don't want to do things manually I prefer to be able to go to a beer garden in the summer and being flexible.

And as an endpoint: automation for me is the necessary base of adding additional value with high return. Only with an automation base you can extend it by fixing more and more issues automatically. While you fix the full disk issue a 100 times, I fix it once.

Are there many large infrastructure projects in America that actually turn out to be a waste of time? It seems like any large infrastructure project tends to get a whole load of pushback and political shenanigans (which often are the direct cause of spiralling costs), but in the end once it's built (if it's built) it's a massive benefit. Is the real lesson here just that we should all just shut up and get on with it?

In principle I agree with what you say, but I'd like to make a more fine grained distinction.

If the website is just static content, go for static-site generation.

If it's a webapp, where you have some interactions but there's only a few of these and the site is not that complex, then go for server-side rendering.

If it's a web app with complex interactions, go for client-side rendering.
Layout and paint.

I don’t think using the term “rendering” for interpolating data into a template is anything new, though, nor is it bad or even confusing that it means one thing in the context of computer graphics and another in the context of programming language templates. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

You don't need to regenerate the entire site. You only need to regenerate the pages that have changed and maybe some indexes.

Considering that SSR has to generate the pages for each view - unless they're cached, which sort of reduces to option 1 anyway - site (i.e. page) regeneration is hugely more efficient.
Is this true even with beam forming? Or does beam forming not work well with lower frequencies?
I think you misunderstood federation. It doesn't make all your data available everywhere, it means that all servers can talk and exchange some data. There is no reason for servers to hold much userdata outside of what other users have viewed.

It also doesn't mean you can sign in wherever. You can't use your email login from live.com to log into the google account, those are two independent credentials.

Data also can't migrate freely, it is exchanged freely but not migrated. When I request your account's data, my server requests it from your server. If that server is not available, it can possibly get there via other ways (pushed from other servers along with events, like someone liking the toot).

What you might be thinking of is a fully decentralized network, where data is kept like on IPFS. But that's not mastodon.

Mastodon offers you a takeout in case you don't trust your instances backups or admin. You can bring that along to a new instance. It does solve the free speech problems of Twitter in that way; if an instance wants to silence you, you're not forced to interact with them, nor can they enforce their moderation rules on you if you don't want to (since you can always move to an instance that agrees with your view on things).
>But how is it so expensive?

that is a classic megaproject which will be expanding in cost until there is no more expansion is possible and then a bit more.

Lets imagine some numbers - at 100B cost and say $5B/year expenses, it would need $7B/year of tickets for 50 years ROI, ie. it would need $20M/day, which is 100000 passengers/day at $200/ticket, like a 100 trains/day with 1000 riders each.

I built my search engine in part to test this hypothesis, and think the result is that it's wrong.

A large chunk of the internet, as it used to be, is still there. You just can't find it in the sea of aggressively search engine optimized (and often machine generated) junk that it has to compete with on Google. You can't find it on Reddit or Facebook or Twitter either, because none of their algorithms favor that sort of content. This creates an illusion that it doesn't exist. But it does.

Have things changed? A decade ago LPFM was more fiction than reality, with very few licenses granted.
"Until then any attempt to convey reality to them, via shortwave or otherwise, will be dismissed as enemy propaganda. They're that far gone."

Perhaps so, but even if they dismiss such messages as enemy propaganda now they don't forget them. Later, after events change, that latent information can come to the fore and be relevant.

Radio, especially low-tech AM radio, has been one of the most effective propaganda mediums of all time. One should never forget how truly and horribly effective Goebbels' propaganda was in the 1930s and during the War at galvanizing the German people.

As that lesson taught us radio propaganda works and works par excellence if done well. All that's need this instant is people who understand that and who can put the medium to work forthwith.

Ask HN: What’s a good laptop for software development at around $2k?
Hi HN!

I am looking to buy a laptop for software development in the 0 to $2000 (USD) range.

What I am looking for:
1. Durability: battery life is important to me as well as general longevity of the hardware i.e. I would like it to last a long time.

2. Linux support: I use Linux as my OS of choice and I have no intention of using Windows/MacOS

3. Optimized for intensive computing usage.

Other things of note:

I looked into the Framework laptops and so far it looks like they are still a bit beta.

However, I am curious about users' experiences with:

* the KDE Slimbook 15: https://slimbook.es/en/store/slimbook-kde/kde-slimbook-15-comprar

* the Purism Librem 14: https://puri.sm/products/librem-14/

* Kubuntu Focus: https://kfocus.org/order/order-m2.html

* the StarBook 14-inch – Star Labs®: https://starlabs.systems/pages/starbook

Also tips about maintaining battery life would be appreciated. I've read too much conflicting advice about that lately :) Thanks.
Meanwhile, over here, we're paying EUR ~10 billion to rebuild a single train station in one of our mid-sized cities: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stuttgart_21

OTOH, building the HSR between Berlin and Munich (~500 km) was also about EUR 10 billion, which I guess makes it a bargain. These things aren't comparable, though.
AI Threatens to Increase Inequality
Hardly ever. I switched everything to Bing some time ago. If I feel I’m missing something I try Yandex. I hear Brave is good, and Kagi and Neeva may be interesting newcomers.

Even if Google were on par with Bing (which I don’t find it is, but my interests may differ from the average HN case) I’d still want to see the company burn for its betrayal of its own mission, of the internet, and of humanity (I mean why not, while I’m being dramatic).

From “to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful”, to “to present a peep-hole sized view of the world, where said view best suits the values and interests of Google and its sponsors.”

I hate Google because I stumbled on it in 1998 and it was sheer magic, but now it’s 1997 again. They were a really, really good company and deserved all the success. Too good to survive becoming a public megacorp. It’s like how people are sadder when the bright young student full of promise and dreams falls into drugs and alcohol and ruin, than when it happens to the one who was always a delinquent since they were four.

Cognitive Science to Data Scientist?
Hey all, I need some advice.

I'm 25 yo.

I've a master degree in cognitive science, during my studies I really enjoyed statistics. I also had a programming course.

Lately I've enrolled for weekend school for Data Visualisation. Where I learn Jupyter notebooks, pandas, matplotlib etc.

I live in Europe, my parents are stuck in Ukraine and I need to start working asap.

- How would you suggest going about internship / junior position? I still feel like I'm not good enough to work.

- Any Data science blogs / job boards that I should follow?

- What makes sense in the portfolio? Some homemade projects in Jupiter / kaggle? Does is make sense to link them to cv?

thanks
Aside from legal issues, this is a complex topic I'm also interested in, specifically for programmer / engineers, or in general people in tech, they are 1) knowledge workers 2) in high demand (market lack of such skills). 1) implies that working is not just about scheduling a certain number of hours per week to a task, it's a mindset thing. You're hiring their brains for an extended period of time on long projects, to achieve a bigger goal. 2) means they have tons of opportunities at a lot of others places. 1 and 2 together in general means they are pretty independent strong minded people (which is a good thing), that they can't be really controlled (which is a good thing) and they can do pretty much what they want in the time allocated to the employers.

Clever people on the internet will tell you it all comes down to trust between the employee and and employers.. Of course there is more to it, that's just the starting point of the discussion. How do you create and sustain that whole work relationship is a full time craft for a manager.

And then there is the debate between freelancing and employing. Freelancers are perfectly fine with multiple clients, it's part of the thing. But with knowledge employees, they are expected to be dedicated to your company (they don't have specific hours but a general goal to perform and a certain expectation of commitment), otherwise they're just playing the same game than freelancers, in disguise.

If you're going to tell me that "its just about setting some KPI / performance metrics, if you cant do that then you're not a good manager" then please don't also tell me at the same time "engineers should be free of all constraints, let them do their thing without any surveillance that's bad for their morale !" in others situations. We have to choose. Either we trust the person is going to be dedicated to us (or will come forward that they want to work with another company at the same time) without hard surveillance, or you're treating them like resources that we can manage, track and fire easily if the performance review is bad. No side of the spectrum is best, where to stop the slider is highly dependent on the situation and people too
