Eh, not so much. See my other comment to the sibling thread in regards to this discussion.

There are two parts to this discussion that people are pointing out that I could have done a better job explaining.

First that I’m confounding the trolley problem of killing a baby with abortion. I’m well aware it’s a thought experiment that’s used in philosophy. I understand that killing a baby is different than abortion. My main point which wasn’t articulated at all in the first thread was more from an anti-natalist perspective. The society I live in primarily assigns more value to the fetus and or baby than they do the people that already are living.

A lot of the argument comes down to whether or not the child will have a chance to do great things and to experience life. Killing the baby means stopping them from having this opportunity. However I look at it from the perspective of potential suffering and current ability to feel and think. Killing the baby really doesn’t stop the baby from thinking because well, baby. And more importantly killing the baby stops a lifetime of suffering.

Second, my worldview doesn’t contain that mentality. Abortion isn’t about killing babies. To me it’s more about stopping potential life. Whether or not that life has potential that is actually good is the part that I disagree with most of society.
My daily tooth care consists of 3 steps:

1. Clean between teeth by using an interdental brush

2. Clean between teeth by using a water flosser

3. Clean teeth surface by using an electric brush.

I am not sure how would the sponge replace these 3 steps.
Inflation, and also the dollar is basically at par with the Euro now. Throw in VAT and there you have it.
That JS would be sandboxed similar to in browsers, so you'd still need an exploit to break out of that.
> We should at least consider the possibility this is just a bunch of lowlifes trying to cash in with lawsuits on stuff that is sadly routine in many blue collar work settings.

Painting racialized minorities as "lowlifes" because they've got the audacity to speak out about pervasive mistreatment is the kind of hot take I'd expect to see in the comments of Fox News.
One thing is mistake in process - i.e. Toyota or ID4 problems. Other thing is deliberate use of low grade, but cheaper parts, which can't long term survive in given environment. So your "perspective" makes no sense, only mudding waters.
The point isn't even lost revenue. That Apple can swallow. That's not going to sink them. But they had sufficiently many really _bad_ generations (like 4 or so) that people _had to_ start thinking about how to move out of the Mac-universe. And that requires significant amounts of investment that you cannot easily recover. And that means that once Apple comes up with a non-sucking Mac, it's by no means clear that they get _back_ that business.

If they did that intentionally, then they took a very risky bet that paid off. But I really don't think anyone would make that kind of bet.
Although I'm not a Macintosh fan, I got the original macbook m1 air for everybody in my family and it's been an absolute dream for all of them. They definitely engineered the whole device to make a superior product.

Not only that but milk carton ads are still static and can be easily ignored.

But for now the advertising industry’s main goal is to gobble up any remaining surface of electronic displays, idle or not

Yes - I used one as far back as in 2010 on a science fair where we enrolled people to a research database.

Show HN: Instant Search in NYC Restaurant Menus
A few years ago I wrote a crawler to fetch all NYC menus. I wanted to prove that many specific dishes can't be found in NYC restaurants.

After more than two years that I had forgotten about the project I decided to clean it up, deal with the css, and put it online.

The number of interesting dishes that can be found is actually quite surprising.

That might be what some weaselly lawyer argues it means in court, or what someone deeply familiar with it all would infer. But in no way is that how any reasonable lay person would read it.

"Improve functionality over time" implies that the basic functionality of full self-driving is there already, and that it will be improved. No reasonable person would take it to mean "does not exist yet, and may never do".

They would also take "capable of" to mean "right now", not at some nebulous point in the future, especially given the context of the feature being a paid upgrade.

The definition of "full" is "not lacking or omitting anything; complete". One might reasonably expect "full self-driving" to mean a human does not need to intervene or monitor. I.e. What the industry commonly calls autonomous driving level 5. They clarify what they mean elsewhere on their web site:

> Autopilot, Enhanced Autopilot and Full Self-Driving Capability
> are intended for use with a fully attentive driver, who has their
> hands on the wheel and is prepared to take over at any moment.
> While these features are designed to become more capable over time,
> the currently enabled features do not make the vehicle autonomous.

So they don't even claim level 1 autonomy.

Even with your version, the hardware may very well never be capable of full self-driving at all. There's no evidence to suggest it will be - hopes, dreams and promises don't count. And they've done an upgrade on the earlier-gen Model S cars already, where they presumably made similar claims.

The whole thing is misleading at best, downright trading standards fraud at worst.

For what it's worth, my Model 3's carriageway departure warning kicks in randomly and the amount of phantom braking it does even on basic cruise control is terrible. Autopilot is worse. I find monitoring it in autopilot mode significantly more stressful than just driving the car myself. I wouldn't trust FSD at all, and certainly not enough to want to fork out the silly money it is.
> Of course it has to be useful.

No, it hasn't. "Science" means "knowledge", and the only things you can know are the things how they actually are.

A PhD from CERN should not confuse science with engineering.
It goes both ways.

The average content marketer is lazy, wants to write one article and have it get zillions of views.

The average content marketer writes spammy articles that exactly zero people are interested in and wonders why it is so impossible to get backlinks.

If that content marketer created articles that people were interested in they could prime the pump on social media or with paid advertising and it would create a chain reaction of getting more links... (e.g. "going viral")

The average content marketer however can't do that because they are 100% self-centered and can't even imagine what other people would find interesting.

I would like to know how you usually implement tiers in your SaaS applications and how do you handle the provisioning of features and permissions for users in your services?

Also, how you handle tier/subscription upgrading or downgrading for your users as far as feature management?

Timeless design and incredible engineering.

I recently handled a ca. MacBook Pro from 2004, and it feels awful, like a collection of parts barely holding together. My 2008 unibody MacBook still feels nice to the touch and rock solid, even though it has been dead for many years now.

Unibody was a huge investment for the company and my understanding is that this was in part one of Ive’s highest career points.

If I remember correctly, before unibody laptops the chassis was a separate component inside, with everything including the case attached on the outside.
I had this as well with a previous company work laptop, so I had to use a wireless external keyboard always. Using the built-in keyboard was so frustrating that it made me angry enough to almost destroy the laptop a few times.

It should be noted that on older Macbooks, the aluminum case has actual cutouts for keys. So it's not possible to change the layout of keyboard without also changing the case. I discovered this when I had my personal laptop repaired, and it came back with the wrong keyboard! The shop just instinctively ordered keyboard+case of their usual layout, so I had to have the whole thing redone again (at no extra charge, just a loss of time).
Yeah, the name is really misleading, if I’m understanding the tech correctly.

> In a certain light, Glance or something like it is a totally sensible idea. You don’t need to constantly dip in and out of apps looking for news and information — you don’t even need to unlock your phone. You just trust your device to bring you something interesting every time you turn it on.

In case you don't read to the end (where the author disclaims this viewpoint), I believe that this statement is intentionally taking the viewpoint of someone who's somewhat addicted to their phone - as it's not a totally sensible idea, even if Glance was not an advertising company. Implementing this idea would make phones even more distracting and addicting than they are already.

> “and once you’ve unlocked your phone, you almost forget why you’re there in the first place!”

This is a bug! Not a feature! The advertising and "engagement" strategies implemented over the years have contributed at least in part (if not wholly) to the "erosion of intent" that causes this effect. The solution is to stop encroaching on the agency of the user - not to put things on the lock screen and make it worse!
The politico article is about debunking the claim that "millions of defensive gun uses happen every year" (which I'm not claiming) from a couple of debunked surveys, and provides some anecdotes of failed defensive gun uses and accidents.

The Philadelphia study is interesting, but I'd note that the discussion and study limitations sections somewhat undermines the attention-grabbing headline, as well as the Conceptual Frameworks and Variables Section:

"Case participants with at least some chance to resist were typically either 2-sided, mutual combat situations precipitated by a prior argument or 1-sided attacks where a victim was face-to-face with an offender who had targeted him or her for money, drugs, or property. Case participants with at least some chance to resist were in contrast to those that happened very suddenly, involved substantial distances, had no face-to-face contact, and had physical barriers between victim and shooter (e.g., an otherwise uninvolved victim shot in his living room from a gun fired during a fight down the street)"

So yeah, if you knowingly engage in violent, armed confrontation or an armed attacker has the jump on you and you escalate because you have a firearm, you're more likely to get shot. That's just common sense, a gun a not a force-field. Also 82.21% of the assaults with a chance to resist took place outdoors, so this data is bias against incidents that happen in the home.

I'd say this study doesn't really support the broad assertion that "you were more likely to be shot if you owned a gun and used it defensively". The devil is as always in the details of the situation.

Many of these statistical studies fall into the trap of being technically correct but broadly inapplicable. Technically speaking you're more likely to drive drunk if you keep alcohol in the house and own a car. But on an individual level one can keep alcohol in the house, own a car and have near-zero chance of driving drunk.

As for the third article, I'm all for safe ownership requirements. Quick access gun safes are readily available and even the cheap, easiest to break-open ones will do the job of keeping clueless children away. As a gun owner with a young child myself all my guns are locked up, and the only loaded gun is in a quick-access safe and cable-locked to furniture. If you can afford a $100+ handgun, there's no excuse for not affording a $50+ quick access safe.
This is such a cop out. You do not need to have held or fired a firearm to have a valid opinion on the matter. Further, rifle rounds are typically far more deadly and accurate than pistol rounds and rifles provide a better platform for rapid and accurate fire. Rifles also tend to have higher capacities making them easier to dump. My 1911 holds 8+1, my sig p320 with the extended mag holds 21+1, and my AR-15 holds 30+1. I can accurately put rounds in a target with my pistol at, say, 20 yards? I can accurately put rounds on a target at 5-10x further with a rifle.
The lack of enthusiasm to learn new stuff is also due to opportunity costs and “exploration vs exploitation“ dynamics.

You spend time and effort when you are younger (eg 15) to develop skills that allow you to be productive and valuable.

Learning entirely orthogonal skills when you’re older no longer pays off after a certain point because the opportunity cost of not using your existing skills to produce becomes too large.

To make an extreme analogy, there is no point in Warren Buffet to learn to program at his stage of his career (or even 30 years ago). Any time spent not reading financial reports is such a huge opportunity cost that he really has no reason to learn any other skill.

Another extreme example is Lang Lang the pianist has no reason to pick up the violin. He has absolutely nothing to gain by learning new musical instruments.

Science is a special career where learning new things is important for longevity. A productive science career involves breaking new ground, picking up the low hanging fruit before your competitors do, then move on to break new ground once your old field becomes saturated. Learning new things is strategic, where you try to leverage existing expertise to break ground in new fields.

The best feature in my opinion: no fans!

With my other MacBooks that do have fans, I regularly have to clean them, which is increasingly hard with thinner, more integrated designs. I also have to pay attention where to place the laptop in order to not obstruct air flow.

My M1 MacBook Air not having any fans while still being reasonably powerful is my favorite feature.
Have you looked at the Canadian express entry program? You would be making less $ that you can make in the USA but it is easier to deal with immigration, and that is still much, much more than $350/mo. Could probably work remotely for a company in the USA after that.

Philip Morris has a 35 % stake in Juul, so they are at least "medium tobacco". Practically speaking, you can't ban cigarettes right yet, you'll have another Prohibition problem, but sooner or later the cigarette problem will solve itself, everybody agrees that cigarettes are disgusting. Juul on the other hand marketed itself to schoolchildren as a hip and safe alternative. That problem must be addressed.
On Apple.co.uk M1 is listed at £999.00 and M2 at £1,249.00 (respectively € 1,168 and € 1,460, not far from the actual prices in Europe)

The same difference exists in European Apple stores (~+25%).

They simply kept lower prices in US in my opinion, but obviously comparing US prices with non-US prices for a US manufacturer it's not going to work in favor of the non-US market.

You don't see that you run the same damn studies but get a negative effect? You can even do it solely off p-value (but instead should do a more complex calculation based on the harms discovered, etc.)

If your "is it dangerous" study shows it is with p < 0.05 = dangerous, p > 0.10 = safe, 0.05 <= p <= 0.10 = more study needed.

There is quite some innovation, but consumers are slow to adopt IMO.

Last year, my dentist warned me I have quite severe receded gums. This was due to me pushing my toothbrush too hard.

So, after doing some research I bought an ultrasonic toothbrush. These have a static head (it does not oscillate/rotate) which emits ultrasonic waves to clean your teeth. Same principle of an ultrasonic parts cleaner. The head is still a traditional brush, though very soft. The brush is used to transfer the sound waves, you do not use it to 'scrub' your teeth. There is not friction involved.

From my experience, I can highly recommend an ultrasonic toothbrush. It takes some time to get used to, but personally, I will never go back to a traditional 'friction' type brush (manual or electric).

The model I have is the Silkin' ToothWave. Prices have come down significantly since I bought mine (I paid >€200 IIRC, now they are ~€90).

Note that some vendors sell traditional 'friction type' oscillating electronic toothbrushes with ultrasonic as a feature. In my opinion, these do not offer much benefit, it is better to go for a fully ultrasonic model.
