New car, bought from dealer, who swear they did not install it and are blaming another dealer from whom they acquired the vehicle.

It's possible. Something like that happened with my wife's car. We only found out about the tracking device when they sent us a bill in the mail to activate the tracking service.

You are legally allowed to buy a book and resell it. If you look, many of the legitimate offers for books on Amazon that are "from the long tail" of content are coming the inventory of small book stores, both used and new. The issue is not that third parties are selling a book at all but that the book they are shipping is a third-party low-quality re-print of the book in question instead of an official copy, something you wouldn't know until you receive the book.
I encourage heavy demands, and talking with an attorney if they so much as twitch about it. “All the warning lights on” in a brand new car is a special hell.

Then, regardless, perhaps file a complaint with the appropriate state agency # they’re probably quite interested in what a prior dealer might’ve done…
When an account has an established history, we tell them we're banning them and why: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que....

Shadowbanning is reserved for spammers and for new accounts that show signs of abusing the site, e.g. by trolling or egregiously breaking the site guidelines, or if there's evidence that they're related to past accounts that have been abusing the site. It's not a good idea to use explicit banning in all of these cases (for different reasons).

Here are some longer past explanations:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20666742

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20289994

This system has drawbacks—banning new accounts means guessing—by definition, there isn't a lot of information to go on—and we guess wrong sometimes. But we try to correct those errors later. Btw, if anyone notices a banned account that shouldn't be banned, please let us know at hn@ycombinator.com—we've unbanned many accounts that way.

In fact I'm just working on a ban review system that will make it much easier for mods to track banned accounts that are still posting and unban the ones who are making good contributions (whether because we guessed wrong when banning them, or because they've reformed since having been banned).

The driver of that vehicle surely suffered due consequences for how they discharged their responsibility.

Tesla is not so far.

The driver of that vehicle only posrssed the power to affect a very smmall number of people with their irresponsible act.

The maker of that car isn't making claims that you can drive their cars drunk, and that car didn't have a "drunkpilot" button.

Elon is voluntarily pushing something which is unwise, wich affects many many more people. The primary guilt is the marketing not the tech itself. There is no excuse for any of these accidents, because human behavior is very well studied. You don't get to create the option to let a car drive itself, and name it autopilot, and then claim ignorance and innocense when people get in the back seat and go to sleep and every other crazy thing, no matter what you write in a manual somewhere.

When, Toyota has even a mere gas pedal glitch, it's a huge deal and all the cars get recalled and fixed, and it was a legitomate honest error while trying to be responsible, not an error while trying to be irresponsible.

Tesla deserves far more heat than they are getting.

Could it be (& I am asking) that he can invalidate the current contract on the grounds that daily active users aren't what twitter said.

Then could they draft a new contract, complete with a new price and daily active users estimates?

I don't know anything, so I'm asking. If someone out there is a M&A lawyer and can shed light, that would be great.
The secret lies in the difference between addressing the problem and solving the problem. Society is full of problems that are addressed with "solutions" that don't work, or don't work in the way we think they do.

Arguments like "the best code is no code" basically allude to the idea of defining the problem in a way that allows a solution without addressing it through some complex technical dependency.

In transportation there is a lot of popular discussion based around different modalities like car, train, bike. Each one has its enthusiasts arguing for a mode being a solution. This is a very engaging topic because it creates the grounds for an ideology: "everything will be great once we eliminate x and build more y". A great way of addressing transport issues while not discussing the overall problem in terms of land use, tripmaking needs, accessibility, safety, etc. The path to the actual solution is through studying all those other things to identify what key metrics are in play and then specifying your solution in terms of "must meet this metric". That's where the meat of any problem lies, because the person who lays down the finishing touches is building on all that preparatory work - supply chains, scientific principles, engineering tolerances and so on.

And, of course, there's another path into addressing without solving by selecting unrealistic metrics that don't suggest how to move forward. Before you even have the metrics you need good critical thinking skills, ability to collect and analyze data, and some resulting media that communicates the findings like a document. That's a whole job in itself, and then selling and marketing it is another. And then maybe we get to actually implementing something.

It takes a lot, in all. It's almost imperceptible how we progress on big issues. And the whole way through someone is trying to steal credit for some part of it.

Good question! Your brain needs sugar to run, so it's not surprising that a high-fat diet might stress it. Especially in mice.

Our livers can produce ketone bodies as a replacement for sugar. Can mice?

It's also, of course, possible that a ketogenic diet helps counter diabetes while still being less healthy than a better rounded diet would be for someone not diabetic.
Okay, but for example Stadler's Metro can be configured such that it's lighter than the original BART stock. (I don't believe there's currently any in operation in the US; most of what's in the US is FLIRT/KISS based, which are decidedly heavier stock designed for non-rapid-transit usage.)
Yeah that's the brand, I've seen that in the USA and this in international markets [1]

Depends I guess on how 007 you think the world operates (reference to James Bond) - X will happen, but maybe 2-10 years after various counter-suits.

Case studies are what has happened e.g. with Microsoft, other large businesses - long legal battles are fought, nothing happens while things are in limbo.

When the rubber finally hits the road, things happen fairly quickly, but until then it does look a bit like "nothing happens".

This is of course, a problem, perhaps one that needs innovating around.

> Don't you think someone guiding the development of companies like SpaceX, Tesla, and others, would invest more time into those - rather than say first doing a thorough background check first on a private investigator he newly hired?

If you’re going to hire private investigators to dig up dirt on people who criticize you so that you can smear them to the public, you have a responsibility to be thorough, lest you defame them. It’s not as though Musk has to hire private investigators to smear his critics. If he’s too busy to meet the basic minimum responsibilities of human decency, he could just not hire private investigators to smear his critics.
If Oxide computers had existed when I was working on sorting out the infrastructure for in-country domestic payments at Visa, I'd have lobbied pretty hard to adopt them. Assembling basically the same thing from a bunch of random vendors and terribly integrated software was an infuriating, expensive process that only achieved great results because we invested the time and money into it that I'd have rather budget allocated to writing core payments & settlement applications.
How is this even a “show HN”? Literally just a thinly disguised money/data grab.

Nope.
In Australia, we're starting a new clinical trial (phageaustralia.org) for phage therapy, funded by the Australian Medical Research Future Fund: https://www.health.gov.au/initiatives-and-programs/medical-r...

We're just gearing up with a team distributed across Aus that tackles the clinical, biology and data/engineering side (this is my job).

This clinical trial is a bit different from trad drug discovery, since this clinical trial assesses the entire PROCESS of: (1) sourcing the phage (2) testing the phage's effectiveness against a patient's bacteria (3) manufacturing the phage to be safe for the patient/indication. We're not trialling a phage itself, like most active phage therapy clinical trials out there right now.

We're emphasizing the "therapy" aspect, of collecting data on the phage, bacteria, and measuring immune reaction in the patient to figure out what works, what doesn't work, and most importantly safety.

Phages are interesting because we can "train" them to work specifically for each patient's infection, and this is much more complex than just throwing antibiotics at a wall. In essence, effective and large scale phage therapy is a data problem — we need to figure out why a phage works (or doesn't work) for a specific bacteria and indication first. (How will a phage respond to pseudomonas in the lungs? How will it work in the gut? On the skin? etc.). We also need to know what phages will work in combination with antibiotics, because most doctors will want to keep using antibiotics.

But ideally, we want to be able to predict what phages will work in a patient, so we can just prep and manufacture those ahead of time, and have some amount of certainty that given our data this will work.

There are tons of phage therapy clinical trials going on, including from places like UCSD, Mayo Clinic in the US, in Portugal, Israel, Belgium. Most of these aren't trialling the process itself like Phage Australia though — they're trialling the phage itself, or a combination (a phage cocktail)... And there's more countries like Canada and the UK getting interested in it as well.

SpaceX isn't the only one looking at methalox engines for reusability, though they're definitely the farthest along. Blue Origin's BE-4 engines use methalox; New Glenn's planned to be at least partially reusable, and ULA might try to reuse them on Vulcan with SMART engine recovery.

It's generally much easier to detect a bot than to detect the purpose an account was created for, so I wouldn't be so sure myself.

Also consider that there's also no reason not to allow such accounts. From a business point of view, Twitter exists to sell advertising. Accurately counting the eyeballs (aka mDAU) they have to sell to advertisers is important, but policing the site otherwise makes sense strictly to the extent that failing to do so may drive some of those eyeballs away.

Consider: No real human beings are likely to quit because of fake followers being left alone, but a few vain people might quit if their fake followers were removed. Further, an overly agressive ban wave targeting bots may well remove some bots people actually like which again, on the margin, may drive some real people away. Like any large company, Twitter will inevitably feel the pressure to play it safe, and in this context that means never banning an account that isn't clearly driving real users away - which means that very passive bots that don't do anything are unlikely to be banned.

Of course, none of that gives us any insight into how accurately (or not) Twitter is counting mDAUs.

I don't think Voat is really a fair comparison.

Voat suffered from a flood of toxicity caused by Reddit banning toxic behaviors. From what I could tell, it was practically uninhabited before.

Reddit itself was largely "anything not illegal is allowed" at the time (in part due to lax enforcement of the few rules they had), and was largely fine. The toxic communities sequestered themselves for the most part.

Twitter would probably be much the same. The greater issue they'd have is the same Reddit had; it's hard to sell any advertising on a site where you can't guarantee ads won't show up next to racist/sexist/etc diatribes.

Saying "Musk cultists are the worst" was out of line. Otherwise what GP said was correct.

If it helps, I don't think you're a cultist, I'm sure you aren't a stupid person either, but you have this totally backwards. I don't presume to know how that happened, other than that it's something that happens to everyone from time to time, myself included. This is a sincere, no judgement invitation to reconsider your position and realign with reality. People who care about free speech don't respond to criticism with left-field accusations - that's a diversionary tactic. People who make serious buyout offers aren't trying to insert weed jokes in there.

Have you noticed how FSD is always one year off? And now out of left field, there's a robot coming that's one year off? Isn't it weird that, if this technology is in development, it had to be demoed by a dude in a suit? It's pretty obvious to me that FSD is way, way more than a year off, if Tesla ever achieves it at all, and that this robot is a last-minute fiction to cover up some weakness or perceived weakness of Tesla's position.

Musk's basic tactic is a gish gallop. He's just throwing out so much vaguely futurist nonsense that some of it will strike you as brilliant. But it's the illusion of brilliance. There was a time when I found it compelling, too. The world is messed up, and at first glance, he looks like the only one who's proposing solutions that are sufficiently bold to tackle the problems.

But they're hollow and meaningless. He never delivers. What he does deliver is nothing like what was promised.
Thank you for the explanations. How this is not one of the top comments is beyond me. This comment most logically explains all the drama started several months when Musk offered to buy Twitter. The stories generated several of the highest rated posts and several of the most commented posts at HN, just adding to the drama. Now it seems that it's quite a possibility that the Twitter drama is just a red herring for Musk to sell the much overpriced TSLA stocks.
I disagree. Most of the Soviet Union’s land is uninhabitable let alone usable, but let’s ignore that. The Soviet Union also didn’t have the economic system, infrastructure, investment, and immigration to take advantage of it.

I’m also not sure how this weakens my argument that the US was destined to superpower status even without the world wars.

The primary forces a car has to overcome are rolling resistance (proportional to the vehicles weight) and drag (proportional to speed). If you reduce the speed, you reduce the drag, and therefore you reduce the energy needed to maintain that speed (which decreases emissions directly in ICE vehicles, and indirectly in EV vehicles).

Feeling less safe is only weakly correlated with being less safe. We're not very good judges of risk. Urban "traffic calming" design attempts to exploit this by trying to engineer roads that feel claustrophobic, causing drivers to slow down.

Since kinetic energy is a square of velocity, slowing cars down - even a little - both significantly increases the chance of surviving a crash and also makes it more likely you'll stop in time to avoid the crash in the first place.

Also interestingly, lower limits often reduce congestion and increase total road capacity. I'm not sure how safety at the race track works out, but skilled, predictable drivers in well maintained vehicles with race marshalls and huge run off areas probably makes any comparison awkward.
Decisions are made at the margins. It’s always possible to look back and say “they should have done X, and they would have succeed.” It possible that there were many factors, but in my mind no minor change to the strategy would have helped. Had they done what you suggest, I’m sure the respond would have been that they targeted too small a market, or they didn’t cater to folks traveling between major cities frequently.

IIRC Wind was offering unlimited plans at 50% the price of a mediocre plan on major providers. You could have hours of roaming calls and still come out ahead (and this is in the edge case, where you happen to go camping that month). Most things being equal, Canadians broadly prefer to pay more to have a sure thing. It’s not a bad instinct, but it has consequences to how industry is shaped in the long term.
The first line is what he is trying to do right now. The answer seems to be "maybe", it's going to court because there's a chance that he can but Twitter also thinks there's a chance he cannot.

The second, maybe. I doubt that Twitter would be interested.

First hit on DDG for "PL884-200" is a asset tracker: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=%22PL884-200%22&t=fpas&ia=web

Perhaps this is a part of one of those units? They have "hard wired" as a option on the site, but it's greyed out.

Speculation: the site used to talk about a PL884-200 hardwire kit but they have since stopped selling it.
Who said anything about him being forced to do such a thing? People make bad decisions all the time, including Musk. But given human nature and frailty, people under a great deal of pressure and opposition like musk is, are likely to make worse decisions than they otherwise would.
Japan doesn’t like immigration at all. Even high skilled immigration is discouraged culturally. The second people realize that you’re not a tourist is when the Japanese stop smiling.

You still also need low skilled immigrants. Otherwise, you’re not going to have people do terrible jobs like mortician and meat packer positions to name just a few jobs that native Japanese are hesitant to do. Just to remind everyone, AI and robotics are still not there yet. Anti-immigration advocates, just like the brexiteers, fail to account for reality.
