If you can get the big company to say they're denying the warranty for that reason in writing, you could probably find a no-win, no-pay lawyer to file an eight digit class action lawsuit.

They know that as well as you do. I've found they usually do more passive aggressive / ambiguous stuff than overtly break the law.

Once we had a Toshiba laptop with a bad motherboard. They replaced it with some other board that didn't have drivers for Linux, or even for Windows.

Lenovo took over thirty days to repair my IBM thinkpad (broken screen connector), and when it came back, the high voltage screen transformer was shorted to the case, so it shocked the heck out of me when I turned it on.

On top of that, they didn't replace the broken screen connector, and claimed it was "no fault". This was after the local lenovo repair people found the fault, and lenovo said they couldn't ship the required part.
This happens all over the world. The new president of Philippines is the son of a former president. In Pakistan two members of the Bhutto family have been PM and another was president. In Chile there was the Allende family, in America there is the Kennedys and the Clintons and dozens more examples below the presidency.

I don't think it should be surprising that politicians can have family members who also make a career in politics. The same thing happens with public figures like actors, musicians and sports people. But it also happens with doctors and lawyers and soldiers and police and bakers and plumbers and hair stylists.

Although there are plenty of people who grow up to do something different from their parents, there is definitely motivation to "follow in the footsteps". If nothing else, you can probably leverage a built-in support network.

The question that's important for democracy is if it's possible for someone to break in to a political system if they are not a member of a pre-existing dynasty. So far I think in most countries that is still the case. Certainly it's better than feudal times.
Let me ask you this, what changes if human activities no longer contribute to climate change (in a perfect world) and the planet continues to warm?
I’m mid-forties and have hiked since I was a kid. Longest are probably a trip of 75 miles in 3 days, or the time I spent a month straight in the mountains—both when I was much younger.

I don’t really know how far I can hike now. Going slow and with some rest breaks, probably a long way? I wouldn’t hesitate to head up Old Rag (linked in another comment) if I started early in the day, for example.

Hiking “works” best when the act of walking is not the entire point. By that I mean, it’s way more enjoyable when you have beautiful scenery to look at, or companions to chat with, or an exciting destination, etc.

Even just heading out on a walk in the city, if I’m walking towards something I’m interested in, or I’m exploring a new area, or I’m walking with a friend, I can go for a long way. If I’m just counting miles, it’s going to be mentally harder.

I will say that the mentality of hiking develops with practice just like the muscles. With lots of practice you can learn to go into your thoughts and not focus on the feeling of physical exertion. This happens to runners too. For some people it helps to have music or a podcast in their ears.

I agree with you on "replace it with any religion" but I don't find it bigotry necessarily - I am averse to any and all religious influence on anything, and I'm happy to see it brought up to attention and awareness everywhere. As to the frequent Venn diagram overlap of locally predominant religion with corresponding country / nationality / ethnicity / etc, while that frequently the case, I agree we should focus on the underlying viral meme that's religion and not the confounding variable of nationality.

I mean, I've lived in Canada for 20 years before I've realized that friendly kids asking for donation for salvation army in super markets are in fact members of a massive church. Things some people find obvious aren't well known to others.
I think that you nailed it. I would add that as long as we don't reach for rocks to throw at each other (or the online equivalent), having and respectfully expressing diverging opinions is okay.
The IT guys would have loved to just fix it for you in two minutes, but unfortunately HR or someone else forces them to stick to the sticky process.
The scary part about good AI is not knowing how good it is, i.e. not being able to trust it because you don't know when it'll be wrong (nor does the AI itself know).
I'm interested in any and all ideas to mitigate regulatory capture, no matter how crazy.

My only notions so far:

- Add explicit carve outs for customers (of the regulated entity). Where the representatives are chosen by jury duty or sortition or other suitably random method, so they too are resistant to capture.

- The customer's have veto power. Maybe thru an ombudsman structure. Maybe thru majority of the regulatory body.

- Like citizen's assemblies, customers have investigatory powers. They can ask questions, they cannot be denied. They benefit from expert testimony.

- No artificial deadlines for deliberations. Some decisions just take longer.

- All decisions (laws, rules, procedures) have built-in expiration (TTL), and must therefore be regularly reauthorized.

- All artifacts and hearings made public by default.

- Pay board members and their staff. So that normal people can afford to serve.

Insightful post.

I've long suspected that the most viable path (only viable path?) is for Tesla to capture the profits and share a percentage with the equipment owner.

Since the payoff to the homeowner happens "in front of the meter," it gets around the bureaucratic nightmare of fixing the perverse incentives in electricity pricing (eg the flat rate problem /u/rr808 mentions). All you need is one large aggregator to participate in the real-time wholesale market, issue commands to the "fleet," and divvy up the profits.

Right, but how do I know whether the URL pattern is legitimate? I don't work for the IT department at my bank. If the answer is to just eyeball it, that does seem like a far worse security problem than HTTP has ever been.
So, I'm not alone in wondering if they should be treated like bible thumpers, or not.

Good to know. Also good to know they aren't bible thumpers, and just happen to be 'Christians' monitoring science, as per the name implies.
The end goal of PMTiles is similar to SQLite-over-HTTP: SQLite is designed for access on local disk, and might make many requests for a single query, each incurring a HTTP roundtrip (could take hundreds of milliseconds). PMTiles is designed from the ground up for HTTP, so attempts to minimize the # of requests to 3 or less for any tile.

The extra conversion step is something I'm hoping to get rid of by building PMTiles writers into tiling tools directly.
I actually do think it’s relevant. They build credibility in your mind space via innocuous stories about peppers, so you’re more likely to accept their articles about more charged topics in the future.
IIRC my ballots always just showed the Presidential Candidate's name and political party, nothing about the candidate's Vice Presidential nominee. I don't know the rules or law when it comes to the VP nomination, but could it be changed last minute?

Additionally, if something happened to the VP nominee between election and taking office, wouldn't the President-Elect choose a new VP without going through an election?

Down here there was a murder case recently. The suspect always replied prompt on his messages, except for the 2 hours during that murder. His phone was supposedly at home with him being out.

There were many more juicy bits in that case, but this part is somewhat in the context of the discussion. The message seemed to be, plan better next time :)
If you're tending such a site as pure art project, fine. However, I suspect the site is there because you envision a community of potential users in this world.

You are not "forced to register". You are asked by your community to make mutual assurances. The easiest system out there relies on a third party, true. There are other third parties, and you could make your own (the most popular one, you might be surprised to hear, didn't exist a few years ago). And there are other ideas of ways to make this mutual assurance. None have taken off in a big way yet, but I'd encourage you to look to them or think of other ways we could do it!

Pretending that we don't need to make this mutual assurance to members of our community is not an option. If you don't like the easy way to do it, find another way.
Of course! But, saying 'unity build' puts emphasis on the fact that you compile all the C files 'in unity', in a single CU. What _I_ wanted to put emphasis on is that you can skip the header files, and that coincidentally means you also have to unity build.

The fact that most unity built projects still use headers made me hesitant to use the term, as that would put emphasis on building a single CU, as opposed to not forward declaring in headers.
I'm not sure of their business state, but yeah, it's not good.

For me, I'm rural and I use a 900mhz point to point wireless connection that caps out around 15-20mbps on a good day. The upside is it's provided by a local old school indie ISP ("NetAccess"). It's $130 CAD a month, which is... expensive... but unlimited which is far cry from the theft that Rogers was performing on me prior with the 3g (then LTE) connection I had that at first capped me at 25G per month @ $100 a month and eventually went up to a "generous" 100G and then charged insane overage fees. My teen daughter ran us up a $400 bill one month.

Bell and Rogers are now offering more competitive rural options (at the behest of the gov't) but I refuse to give them any more money.

It's also why I believe "Zero to One" is essential. In short, move into a space of less and less competition. Obviously being the same prevents that.

There's definitely a decided lack of enforcement across the bloc. Location data collected via vehicle telemetry would be a significant breach, though.
well, to be fair, https://zerossl.com/pricing/ has a "free" column :)

On the other page, https://zerossl.com/features/acme/ it looks like free acme certificates can have a wildcard records (*.example.com).

https://www.sslforfree.com/ claims they use zerossl and support wildcard records.

Also, one of others you mentioned also has a free acme option, but without mentioning wildcards:

I appreciate the code snippets they put in the pub; when HW papers abstract that out, the system doesn't feel grounded in reality. Still, the open problem for this class of architecture IMO is programmability. A composable, well designed API for many core machines would be worth it's weight in gold.
I don't think it's that weird. You wouldn't think much of a famous cook being the son of another famous cook, or likewise for a famous athlete, chess player, religious leader, etc. A child is influenced by their parents through both nature (genetics) and nurture (childrearing).

Of course stuff like connections, name recognition, favors and backroom deals are a thing as well which are various levels of bad and preventable.
acme.sh moving to ZeroSSL has nothing to do with increasing variety.

acme.sh moved to ZeroSSL as default due to being sponsored by them.

my primary reason for avoiding ZeroSSL is the requirement of providing an email address to them that can be abused.
It can't replace a normal password manager, but the idea has other applications and it's nice that they already included support deriving a public key pairs from a password and realm. Add a zero-knowledge password proof and you've got a useful building block.
Don't you think it can be done better?
I am not against Nexus,I don't care about the drama in that community, the issue as you said is there are a ton of issues caused by installing mods one by one, the recent feature called "collection" is a hack on top of the old stuff , I don't hate collections - I think it can be done better if the modders would allow creating mod packs.

I am proposing something similar to Linux distributions, you could start from a minimal install Linux install and install exactly what you want , or you could download some random script that install stuff one by one from a website, or genius idea have distributions like Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Ubuntu Stuio, Mint, Ubuntu Crhistian and Satanic editions and if I don't have time I install the distro that matches my needs and has a community.

I tried a collection of mods and it crashed for me, it is impossible to debug stuff when you start with a big collection and a beta software mod manager and a game like Syrim that updates a lot lately.
Why are you trying to do something that the modder doesn't want?

Paul Revere entangled:

Say i entangle two atoms and send one of the atoms to mars, which is 8 lightseconds away. I tell you before you leave that if the poles of the atom where to flip, the british are coming. If i were to flip the atom in one second, you were to measure it the next second you were still able to exchange information 4X faster than the speed of light.

Or am i missing something and no one actually understands any of this?
Just found about it while releasing a package to VS Code marketplace - It appears we can't use the last versions of this package (es5-ext) anymore due to anti viruses marking it as a Hoax malware. I wonder what's people take here - should VirusTotal and anti viruses detect it as malware?
A square box of concrete can be functional.

I don’t think that trade-off is real - can’t think of a single classical, beautiful building I’ve been to where the interior would benefit that much from a flat glass facade. In fact what comes to mind is Penn Station as a counter-example. Do you have any examples?
The word "modern" in the phrase is dumb -- as usual with the word modern; it's on of those word that convey no real meaning most of the times. It's not about modern, it's about power.

Current 32bits SoCs prolly sale for the same price as 16bits systems of a decade ago, so yes, they probably can handle HTTP. However, 8 and 16 bits microcontrollers with only a few kb of RAM/Flash are still made ("modernly"), sold and used - and those cannot handle HTTPS.
I'm torn between doubting his actual efficacy from never holding office nor being in government, with that of thinking it doesn't really matter, that what we really need is an effective leader with moral and ideological direction, who leaves the policies up to our bureaucratic state

because biden- and almost every other recent president – have been politicians for decades, then yet still get nothing done.

John Stewart, at least has the truck record of being able to deeply research issues and find and stand for his moral ground in a consistent, predictable manner

I wouldn't trust him to " run the country" by himself. but I also don't think you need to be able to do that to be president. John Kennedy in a 1960s filled his kitchen cabinet full of highly intelligent people to help him govern. as a counterexample, George w. Bush was rather unintelligent, but filled his cabinet full of insanely intelligent( but evil ) and was highly effective in pursuing his agenda

If nothing else, John Stewart would be moral compass for the country

to preempt somebody jumping in on this with a dumb take on Trump: he accomplished rather little as a president, certainly far less than he could have, because he filled his cabinet with blithering yes men, Rather than a cohesive team that could strategize
can you link that blog post? sounds super interesting! thanks!

so maybe I'm just lazy but even though I've tried to jump on the whole FRP train (back when it was blowing up around ~2012-2013 .. there was a great tutorial about it and I caaaaan't fiiiiiiind it now but I spent hours going down memory lane thanks to HN's upvote history :D), but I don't really use it or feel the need for it. TS and a nice Result type (a la Rust), the standard Angular Input/Output bindings, dependency injection, a nice template language, and ... things are smooth and easy.

Most of the complexity is fiddling with business requirements, validation (the usual mapping backend data to frontend data), somehow performance was never a problem.

And compared to Angular I spent tooo much time fiddling with props in React, fighting with people and their half assed components, their ignorance of TS, and so on :)
I know how artificial neural networks work. To me, the fact that they're based on relatively simple maths is not that relevant. A lot of simple mechanism produce complex results (e.g. the relatively simple laws of physics have produced human brains).

Back to my point, your bar is pretty high. Artificial intelligence to the level you describe will basically be a "world as you know it is now obsolete" type discovery. It will likely go down as the most impactful discovery of all time. Most of us have a lower bar for what counts as impressive.
His kowtowing continually to Henry Kissinger on the Daily Show is weird, it makes me think he's more like Biden than people think.
I’d have to find the article that talked about it, but I think the years were like ‘59-‘64, where we were too young to be drafted, and too old to be punks, and how it gave our generation a different “mindset” from the “traditional” boomers.
If you find this sort of thing interesting, then strong recommendation for "1493", by Charles C. Mann.

A reference to 1492, the year that Columbus landed in the Western Hemisphere, this book is all about the Columbian Exchange. The effects of plant, animal, and microbial species suddenly flowing all throughout a world that until that moment had quite separate and isolated biospheres.

Yes and: Profitability is predetermined. Converting public goods and services into securities. Ideally. So a public utility issues bonds, instead of stocks.
It can solve many things for welfare states.

Having to deal with invasive, faceless bureaucracy every month to receive a meager income is incredibly stressful, and not only to disabled and elderly people. Prolonger survival stress is extremely detrimental to mental and physical health, and a guaranteed UBI would completely remove it from existence.

The state would benefit from not having to employ literally thousands of bureaucrats… which is likely the reason UBI will never happen at scale, as it would put too many people out of a comfortable position of power.

Also, fraudulent claims would no longer be a thing, since everyone would get the same benefits, likely in relation to their other income. If someone was capable of finding a way to hide their income, they are probably already committing such fraud in the current system.
Read the article I linked yourself, no misinformation.

Quoting:

The contest is entering a pivotal phase as EU regulators look to hammer out the world's first laws for the ballooning industry around web-enabled vehicles, pitting carmakers against a coalition of insurers, leasing companies and repair shops.

[...]

Car manufacturers, guarding their gatekeeper role in accessing data from their vehicles, have resisted specific regulations for in-vehicle data, saying that protecting consumers is paramount.

"Europe's auto industry is committed to giving access to the data generated by the vehicles it produces," said a spokesperson for the European Automobile Manufacturers' Association (ACEA). "However, uncontrolled access to in-vehicle data poses major safety, (cyber) security, data protection and privacy threats."
Using the 4% rule on $5k, your monthly payment would be $16 / month. The 4% rule is generally used for an on time retirement, so there’s no reason to believe you’d be able to maintain your $16 / month payment in perpetuity.

I don’t think $16 a month is going to change their lives any more than buying necessities they need now with the $5k, but I guess we’d need another study for that :)
If all you’ve got is $5000, that “endowment” still isn’t going to remake your life. Perpetual endowments usually spend about 5% of their market value per year, so you would receive about $20/month. Not nothing, but not life-changing either.

Since you’re not going to live forever, you could draw a bit faster—-but transaction costs are also going to eat into that too.
