This all just reads like typical AirBnB PR nonsense. From the company's press release:

>"In 2021, over 6,600 guests were suspended from Airbnb for attempting to violate our party ban."[1]

Just using the company's own 2021 statistics, they had 6 million properties[2][3] . So they "suspended" .1% of their properties for being bad neighbors. Is that an impressive figure? Further they suspended them for violating their policy nowhere does it what a suspension entails though. Was it a 24 hour suspension? A week?

Under the heading "How the codified policy will work"

>"The policy will continue to include serious consequences for guests who attempt to violate these rules, varying from account suspension to full removal from the platform."

If the policy has actually been "codified" then why not state to the public what that codified policy actually is? Is it 3 complaints in a month for a suspension? is it 5 per year? What's the threshold for platform removal? Where can neighbors look up the status? Lack of any meaningful details is the opposite of codified.

Further they state:

>"We believe there is a direct correlation between our implementation of the policy in August 2020 and a 44% year-over-year drop in the rate of party reports."

The summer of 2020 when they instituted this policy was the height of the pandemic and before there was a vaccine available. I think the majority of people beyond a certain young demographic were largely avoiding party style crowds during this period. To use this period as a measure for successful policy implementation seems disingenuous at best.

The wives are not in a position to know what was happening during that particular drive.

Very strange that anyone has to spell out something this obvious to you, but given your mistaken claim that what I said was “factually incorrect” I guess I do:

The fact that Autopilot was not activated does not prove that it was activated.

Yeah. Let that sink in.

Also you neglected to notice that Autosteer, a critical part of Autopilot, cannot be activated on that road. The NTSB (not NTHSA as you mention) confirmed this.

From their report, based on their testing with an exemplar car: “Autosteer was not available on that part of the road.”

They were able to engage cruise control on the road but that is a very tame mode which does not accelerate with any kind of speed that would resemble what happened. It also disengages automatically if it encounters special conditions such as it would if the driver neglected to steer and allowed the car to go off the road, or if the driver purposely steers off the road, for that matter. More importantly, even if it was engaged (and there’s no proof or even indication that it was) the driver is still responsible for maintaining safe control of the vehicle.

While the business models are different (obviously), the payment model is the same.

I was inexact (business vs. payment model) in my previous comment. My apologies.

But my point still stands: Subscription payment models aren't inherently exploitative; rather they can be implemented/administered (or not) in an exploitative fashion.

Don't like Netflix/NYT and others' implementation of said payment model? I'm not surprised. I'm not very high on them either.

But just because you don't like the specific implementation, doesn't make them a different payment model. That payment model being: "pay a monthly fee, get whatever product/service you've paid (and continue to pay) for.

You appear to be claiming that because different companies sell different stuff, that the payment models are not the same.

Which is akin to arguing that since automobiles with ICEs[0] serve a different purpose than automobiles with electric engines. They don't.

And likewise, subscription payment models are subscription payment models, regardless of the product/service being offered.

>If you're not getting it, that's fine, you are free to carry on not getting it.

And you're free to continue making wildly inaccurate statements. Have fun and a good day!

> because of Massachusetts' right to repair laws, OEM tools are available to anyone (or any shop) that wants to pay for them (in and out of MA).

At a price that's meaningless to a hobbyist and steep for an independent shop, sure.

Also, the actual implementation of these rules has been stalled for years by Alliance for Automotive Innovation v. Healy.

Point me to where I can legally, in a "clean" way, download ODIS for VW, or INPA for BMW, or DAS for Mercedes, at a reasonable price for a hobbyist.

IMO the only reason that manufacturers aren't under even more pressure is that these tools are so widely pirated.
Thank you for the correction, apologize if I muddied the waters. I didn't use meteor and only saw it from a distance. I do however use Next/nuxt/etc, and you're right that SSR/SG is a good counter-example to my point. I will say that outside of SSR/SG, isomorphic javascript isn't used that much in my experience. But it is a great counter-point for sure.

Multithreading flavors: Choosing the right scheduler for the right job
You can still "double-bill" in an exempt position.

Most employment contracts I've seen stipulate an expected work week of 40 hours. If I sign 3 contracts like that, now I would need to work 120 hours to fulfill the obligation. And as long as someone collects the paychecks from all 3 jobs without fulfilling the contractual requirements of those jobs, well, that is sort of the definition of theft. Money gained without performing the work necessary to earn it.

I don't know the details of whatever claim you are disputing, but basically all sensible plans include some natural gas burning in the short term.

As has France with their nuclear fleet.

So mocking a Green Party for being factually correct, pragmatic and effective in achieving their aims seems a bit cheap.

Sometimes feels like people only like nuclear because it lets them talk smack about Greens. Who are generally well educated people with sensible ideas. So why are we attacking them again?

Correct me if I am wrong here: trees are part of the regular carbon cycle. They don’t live very long on a geological scale, and when they die their carbon is repurposed. The big issue is that we are taking a ton of carbon that was effectively sequestered and releasing it into the atmosphere. There is no known biological mechanism to resequester that volume of carbon.

I love RxJS and the testing story is not bad, but it does manage to find ways to be buggy when I encounter it.

It seems like both a strength and a weakness of the Angular ecosystem. Maybe the testing story needs to improve? I can’t recall how exhaustive marbles are, and maybe fuzzing might help catch gotchas?

Honestly I thought RxJS would benefit a ton from a visual builder. They have this decision tree tool for helping figure out which operators you need to use, but you could go further and actually build out entire observables in a similar way, plotting out the system and behaviours visually along the way.

When you have such excellent boundaries and well defined behaviours, but observables can become complex so easily, it seems like a great opportunity to visualize and constrain things with tools which generate the code you need.

I know some might find that gets in the way of programming, but I have a feeling it would help those who struggle with RxJS produce far more stable observables.

This is actually why I began using XState for a lot of things. Although I can write out all of the logic myself easily enough, their tooling seems like it’s on a very promising path to making complex state management far more approachable to people with less experience. Having well defined state, transitions, and a great testing story is huge in avoiding the kind of buggy mess I’ve seen and you seem to be describing around Angular.
Back then, the transistor switching speed was 1:1 correlated with size and the sizes we're talking about then the size dominated (capacitance between gate & source). That decoupled in the late 90s / early 00s (if my recollection of news is correct) & kept getting more decoupled. These days you can have a switching speed of 604 Ghz but that doesn't translate to overall clock speed (dominated by critical path latency of your pipeline) + there's thermal issues.

Exactly. The trend to more is often forced by investors etc, but this thinking is also seeping into developers.

I worked in a Softbank startup that start hiring like crazy for positions that weren't necessary, because that's what Softbank asked for. It was a crazy place to work where anything bringing productivity gains and solving developer pain wasn't rewarded. But, of course, we several people working on developer experience, because there was not enough work for all developers.

On the other hand, maybe this is a good thing. It means more jobs for developers. More money redistribution. But on the other hand it is soul crushing to see something that could be a 2-hour walk on the park becoming a 3-month transatlantic expedition involving several teams.

In the job above, I worked for a few weeks on a team that was responsible for one single screen, and this screen had three checkboxes which we used to update some third-party API. No, there wasn't much more than that. It made me want to kill myself.

Penn likes to say that a lot of magic boils down to no one really believing anyone is going to spend the time and resources to do the obvious thing. Magicians are people who are willing to spend the time and resources to do the obvious thing.

Like people who seem to swallow things and then reproduce them later. The easiest method to do that is to swallow the thing and then regurgitate it. And you can train yourself to do this. But it takes time and effort. And is a little gross and if you're working with live animals, you are also on a time limit.
> Gen X is pre Information Age, no where near as savvy and aware of how technological society works

I'm Gen X, and went to public school in flyover country 30+ years ago. I've never been in a classroom that didn't have a computer, or to a school that wasn't connected to the internet. I've still got a folder of old elementary school grade reports and standardized test outputs that are just dot matrix printouts from a server in the state capital.

When my older siblings were teenagers (35-40 years ago), a lot of the popular teen movies included scenes in which the protagonists connected to the internet from their home computer, usually in their own bedroom.

When my father was in college 50 years ago, he used networked computers to write statistics programs and submit them to a central server on campus for his psychology homework.

60+ years ago, my grandfather had a tech job in Silicon Valley. Houses were expensive back then, too.

Us old folks are perfectly at home in the Information Age. It's the Disinformation Age we're having trouble with. But I have a feeling that your generation is having a worse time of it; you just don't realize it yet.
> When you write on a terminal, you are encouraged to make good choices so that your code is clean, with a well-thought-out structure and conventions

And then you realize you have to refactor 25% of it, or the requirements change, or a newly incorporated library suggests a naming convention change would be wise... IDEs not only show the code, you can pick a function argument, rename it, and get it renamed across all source files, comments included.

If your terminal editor does that, then you've partially transformed it into an IDE.
For anyone having the same problem, a standalone Hardware Server install on Arch communicating with the containerised Vivado might be a solution (haven't tried it yet). There is also an AUR package for it.

The worst cryptography vulnerabilities I've discovered have been in RF and small embedded systems, because both settings (and they're often combined!) create constraints that make high-level crypto libraries untenable. This is part of why there's so much interest in lightweight cryptography schemes like Xoodyak (Daemen), Gimli (from the Nacl folks), and STROBE (Hamburg).

Everyone --- at least, everyone in the mid-2000s --- got CTR nonces wrong. But you haven't seen what a custom RF environment does to cryptography until you've seen the counters wrap. :)

IANAL. Privacy qua Griswold (and subsequently Roe) is a limited application of privacy as is commonly understood. A full right to privacy in a classically liberal sense is a right to keep something from the knowledge or access of any or all others by means of (but not limited to) omission or oath. If a right to privacy in this sense were to be applied to the CCW scandal, one could argue that California (or any state) should never have required disclosure of gun ownership in the first place or (should such information have been disclosed by the owner voluntarily) that California had violated a promise to keep such information secret unless otherwise noted.
I personally wouldn’t put “easy” and “git” in one sentence. To sync it’s too much typing requires and possible conflicts need to be resolved.
That's partly why they set it up that way in the first place - ATF gets to review all those applications, and while they cannot reject them except for specific enumerated reasons, they can certainly investigate and/or notify other agencies.

Nevertheless, if you follow the procedure, it is legal, and rich collectors do it. Also applies to larger artillery pieces, tanks with working main gun etc.

Im currently renting a BMW with this gear selector.

In fairness, I throughly hate the car (an X1). Terrible lag, awful throttle response, terrible steering, unpredictable brakes, etc.

But the two candidates for worst feature of the car are

1. The gear selector
2. The indicator lights

Every time I have to engage one of the two I let out a little curse.

The amount of foundational knowledge it takes to make heads or tails of a lot of research is well outside what can be reasonably assumed of a lay person.

For example, let's say you found something interesting in Particle Physics. You figured out the mass of the W boson to another 3 decimal places or some such. To make that result at all interesting to a lay person, you need to pile on enough background information to establish context. What's a W boson? Well it's part of a symmetry group in the Standard Model -> Symmetry Groups? Quantum mechanics? -> etc etc.

Know what they call enough background information to be able to begin to appreciate the research in a given field? A bachelors degree.

It’s a matter of framing the problem.

If the cause of climate change is heat gain from the sun being higher than cooling via radiation to space, then GHG reduction works by changing the second part, and partially blocking insolation works by changing the first.
