I readily admit that I used a bad example in my response post, and even added an edit admitting so much in the original.

There is a concept and then there is practice, and they do not always align.

How does Wordpress know it's powering 40% of all sites in the world? Where does it get the stats
Being on the fence is a good potential explanation. It could also be a quasi team selection thing. This is for a non technical role, but another team where I work put someone through all the normal rounds and then didn’t give them an offer but asked me if I wanted them on my team. Well, I wasn’t privy to that process so I need my own “round” and now this person has got an extra interview and it probably looks weird or bad for everyone but I ended up making her an offer and she accepted.

This has to be the least convincing argument for not regulating Bitcoin:

“What about this obscure enterprise software company that took billions of loans to buy Bitcoin? The company’s shareholders would be very sad if they had a margin call on those loans.”

MSTR would presumably have to go back to selling software instead of speculating on unrelated assets. And everybody else can keep their Bitcoins too, it might just not be as easy to convert them to cash.
I'm having a hard time navigating that site and getting any data out of it. Is it considered a reliable source of information? It seems to only have data for the first generation Model 3 from 2018. They also seems to count stuff like replacement of the 12v battery.

The writeups of high mileage Tesla's that I have read have not mentioned very many repairs - and that seems to be the general consensus on the owner's forums.

Note that software updates are also considered 'recalls' on Teslas now.

Plenty of countries have given up their currencies. Presently and throughout history [1][2]. In particular, your toy model of governance isn't terribly predictive of American politics.

Non sequitur. I can invoice from New York in euros or Bitcoin and still pay my taxes on those earnings in dollars.

> The board had voted 8-4 a few weeks ago to recommend Axon not proceed with a pilot of the Taser drone and had concerns about introducing weaponizing drones in over-policed communities of color.

That sentiment belongs to a different debate. If police are the problem, then stop policing. Victimization will increase, but at least you won’t have to worry about police.
It isn't tone policing to call out posts which are low-effort insults to millions of people, and not coherent arguments for or against anything.

There are tons of reasons people make decisions about software - it's what they learned before and can setup quickest, it's the standard in their industry, it's what their boss demanded, it's used by a customer or supplier and they need to be compatible, it's approved by a third party organisation or certification program, it's the only one a vendor will support, or they've considered software freedom and come to different conclusions than you and don't value it at all. Why should a Disney animator care whether they have the source to PhotoShop? Why should a manufacturing company CEO care that their data in an Oracle database file can't be read by third party tools? Why should an ISP care that they are paying for PowerDNS instead of using BIND9? Why should an accountant care that TurboTax can't be extended by a consultant they hire? Why should a congressperson care that Adobe licensing isn't GPL?

Much easier not to discuss and instead say people "perhaps may have been lulled into going along with it". Which is empty low-effort "I'm smarter, more awake, less deceivable" tribal posturing and nothing else, and then when called out on it, try and sidestep into complaining about tone-policing instead.
Most of my work for SRE was the opposite; I did things manually because the automated systems were guaranteed to mess up some fraction of things. At some point my managers wanted me to automate a hardware management process- I checked and it would take 6 months to deploy the code to prod. Instead, I identified all the broken machines and filed tickets manually- getting things fixed far more quickly without a high rate of false positives and churn (google's hardware repair system churns a lot).

Many of the automated systems at Google were developed by geniuses. Others, not so much, and it ended up making a lot of work for other people.

> Finally, blockchain technologies facilitate few, if any, real-economy uses. On the other hand, the underlying crypto-assets have been the vehicle for unsound and highly volatile speculative investment schemes that are being actively promoted to retail investors who may be unable to understand their nature and risk. Other significant externalities include threats to national security through money laundering and ransomware attacks, financial stability risks from high price volatility, speculation and susceptibility to run risk, massive climate emissions from the proof-of-work technology utilized by some of the most widely traded crypto-assets, and investor risk from large scale scams and other criminal financial activity.

> Plus, apparently, they don't have per app notifications, and some are saying that push notifications can be unreliable.

iOS does have per application notification settings. Also apps have to ask permissions to even send them. You can also change how each app's notifications behave. It's also possible to group all notifications from an app or a group of apps to be shown at certain time of a day, all at once. I don't think there's any reliability issues.

https://appleinsider.com/articles/21/11/01/how-to-manage-not...

The focus modes expand this so that you have even more power to control how notifications work at certain time of day (or location etc). Focus modes also apply to all your Apple devices at once.

> iOS apps also seem to often cost a few bucks, despite free equivalents existing for Android. Perhaps because they are more expensive to make, or because they can't rely on a data collection business model, whatever the case pretty much everything seems more expensive.

This has a benefit that there are more high quality apps on iOS than on Android and the apps aren't abandoned as often.
I can imagine that car charging is still too new and fast-moving to enforce a single standard, unlike phone charging, where it's just ridiculous to have 3 separate standards.

On the other hand, you're absolutely right that it doesn't help anyone if your car is incompatible with half of the chargers out there. Are adapter cables an option, perhaps?
This feature is definitely a bad idea. People have been putting stupid stuff into text-to-speech since the late 90s with iMacs G3.

Tell HN: Gmail Is Not Email
Gmail is not Email

We were lucky enough to have a product idea that sold out immediately after some coverage on a few tech sites (A tiny hardware product for nerds).

Trying to update our customers, we sent out an email to about 500 people via Shopify, the spot the little guys use to do eCommerce. No links in the email at all, just a text based update that we’re here and working hard to keep up with demand.

Ever since then, every email we send to a gmail user (including friends and family) get’s bounced. It’s not even in their spam box!
We have since added google dns txt records and via something they call postmaster tools and we still can’t get emails out.

Text only, no links, no phone number, just a product update from a small company.

Gmail is not Email anymore.
> OEMs (the factory) have had a belief that Americans will not wait to buy a car

It's really contextual. If your current car was in an accident, you will need a new one ASAP. On the other hand, if your current car is working okay, why not wait until you get exactly what you want?

What's driven me to pick from inventory is immediate need. In the past, I came across good deals in inventory that a dealer was looking to move; and I really needed to replace my car. (Car died, putting too many miles on a lease, car wouldn't pass smog.) Now, I've replaced cars because I was afraid they'll break down on me at some point in the indefinite future, so I just order a Tesla about a year or two before I think I'll need it.

Perhaps used cars will fill the need for people who just really need/want a car now?
Are we talking about big tech companies or something? It never occurred to me that companies could even possibly need 5 rounds of interviews. My first job was two rounds, my current one was one.
On a similar note, most URL shorteners are also on all kinds of blocklists because of their tendency to get abused by spammers. That's just the way things go when you provide easy and accessible services.
I feel many people in tech and other office jobs have implicitly worked 4 day workweeks for years. During an average workday, how much time do you spend doing personal things at your desk (texting friends, reading non work-related online articles, etc.)? I bet that time aggregated across Monday to Friday adds up to at least a full 8 hour day.
yeah but I was talking about brutality vs numbers.

the commies killed far more than anyone by numbers and in barbaric ways, but their brutality was beaten by those who killed less in more gruesome ways.

the mongols excelled at both but I argued by brutality imperial japan was a bit worse.

So what should we short before June 15th? :)
This seems weird to me. I've never had an iPhone, never had a Mac for personal use. But I can recognize that the connectors Apple used were at least interesting (magsafe) and probably better (lightning).

Why require standardization in which standard connector? It's not like back in the old days, when DEC used RJ-45 connectors with an offset clip to guarantee you had to buy DEC cables at a massive premium. There were other examples, and they were all abuse, on the cancel culture level.
Even devices that charge with a cable do not need USB-C if they are too small to physically fit a USB-C port. Though at that point they wont fit a Lightning port either but instead some weird exposed charging pins or wireless charging.
I live in the Netherlands, here it depends completely on the "cao" that is used within the 'branche' (type of industry). There are industries that use 32, 36, or 40 hours as full-time work weeks. Most goverment jobs for example are either 36 or 32 hours.

I work in SWE, which is almost always 40 hours in my experience YMMV.
Excellent point. They thought painters and illustrators would go out of business. But that has not been the case. Far more people work in painting and illustration now than when the camera was invented.

If anything, the dreary reproductions afforded by the camera are what led to Impressionism and a new regard for the human eye and hand as creative tools.
It’s just that easy, huh? Here are the problems I would face when trying to get an ID from the government without having any ID.

My state’s DMV wants to see:

* One document (with full name) proving identity and date of birth. [A birth certificate.]

* One document (with full name and full Social Security number) confirming Social Security number

* Two documents (with current physical address) proving state residency

The U.S. State Department requires you to apply in person for a new passport if your old one is destroyed. Processing, issuing, and delivering it currently takes about half a year. Oh yeah, and you will need to bring your birth certificate.

I just requested a certified birth certificate from the register of deeds in my county, and they said it SHOULD be ready by December.

So, I should be able to exist again by … next summer.

They aren't designing anything, they mandate an overall requirement - "You must all use the same charge port".

This is no different than any other customer - they are just representing the overall customers who would otherwise not have enough power or voice to achieve what they want.

Also - if you don't want your industry regulated, maybe don't make a mess of it?

Regulators rarely pay attention to things that are working super-well.

There's this joke in the movie "Amadeus" where the emperor (Joseph II?) remarks that Mozart's music has "too many notes". He explains that the human ear can only hear so many notes. That might have a element of truth. Our perception is (obviously) limited, and beyond a certain point, complexity becomes overbearing.

But on the other hand, minimal music is a much more recent development, and it is certainly part of the "classical" tradition. There might be a bit of room left before we find the end.

Congrats on the launch! This is really cool. I remember having to join several incidents and it was always a mess, especially people being left out, others being added who should not be there in the first place.

> I think you'd see more customers move to ordering, if it was an option.

That is dishonest. A dealer needs to make his pay. You took his time, they need to make money for it.

Of course it works out because dealers know that you know what they paid (edmunds, kelly blue book, and a few others I can't remember) will tell you the exact numbers, and everyone knows that. Dealers just have found other sneaky ways to get their money instead. It is people like you are refuse to allow a simple honest profit margin that force all the evil financing junk that dealers pull instead.
I don't think there's any licensing fees for the spec itself no? Only a small fee to the USB-IF non profit every year or 2 years (and there's sublicensers) for the logo and vendor id which shows spec compliance (Which is the same for micro USB I believe so i can't think of any non proprietary connectors customers would go for regardless.)

>This also bans cheap phones like these

I'd assume those new phones get a new iteration or 2 or 3 by that time regardless. It tends to go quite fast in the phone market.
Were they less in urban areas?

I didn't see them as much when I lived in a city, but I don't know how much of that was light pollution, it's very difficult where I am to get out someplace where you could see the Milky Way without a car, and when I would I'd see a lot but "swarm" isn't the word I'd use. More like pixels blinking in a weird pattern.
I would have measured the time directly inside of the Doom allocator and the OP could produce the same charts directly from the measured data without replaying the allocation log.

And IF I were going to collect that data, I'd grab the call stack as well to see where the allocations were coming from. There might be a chance to retro fit an arena allocator, but would think Carmack code is already probably optimal? Yes it is, for the reason we can even have this discussion about it.

The other change I would make to the experiment, is to have the traces be taken from a timedemo and not via regular gameplay so that hypothesis can be tested. At the very least, one could precisely time the impact of instrumentation.
