> Rivian I put my order in and at least I have an order date and understand that I'm in the queue and should be sometime MY24

Is that "Model Year 24"? So they gave you an estimate of a year-long window, but also did not guarantee the date? How is that much different than "Youre on the list" with a traditional dealership?

>VR wouldn’t even be a thing anymore without their efforts.

A headset with multiple cameras on it, connected to the internet, scanning my surroundings, and phoning home to Meta/Facebook. Hard for me to imagine a more dystopian future for VR than the one envisioned by Zuck. I'd rather VR not be a thing than for Meta/Facebook to dominate it.

Ask HN: What are 'deploy previews' (ephemeral environments) good for?
Does anyone use deploy previews (AKA 'preview environments' or 'ephemeral environments') on a regular basis to see/share github pull requests?

What platform do you use for this?

What are some use cases/workflows in which this capability helps you the most?

What's missing from these solutions that you wish they offered you?

Thanks!
Just in case it isn't clear, I wouldn't have called you reactionary or paranoid back then because I would have agreed with you. Its just sad that others choose not to open their eyes.
We are going to be seeing this more frequently in cars, and probably hardware overall. Having a single hardware spec that is license-limited to various levels is just cheaper for the manufacturer in how it simplifies their logistics. It also provides additional revenue options from existing customers that might want to "upgrade" at a later date.

On the plus side, if you can figure out how to sideload your car you get a free range extension on your battery.
I see, so there is some kind of service that drives a car to and from a house and/or keeps the car parked but washes it regularly or every investor DIY this? How often does it happen you recon?
Much stronger but of limited use still, for the reasons you listed.

You very rarely care that the remote tcp/ip stack has acked the message, you care that the messages has been received by the program and processed - You're better off implementing your own acks in those cases, allowing you to report back any errors in that ack as well. Or you don't really care, and can just fire and forget those messages.

And that also allows you to implement a system where you can pipeline messages - waiting for remote acks when allowing just 1 message in flight limits your throughput severely.
I think it's also about the "culture fit" that these high prestige tech companies look for. Young people fresh out of school will not have been "tainted" by the workplace culture of other companies. Moreover, young people in general, but especially those still in the highly social school mindset, tend to be influenced by peers more easily than adults, especially jaded adults. This all makes young people fresh out of school much more easily molded to the company culture.
Imagine you bought a home, and 10+ years after you bought it, not the previous owner, but the owner before that comes to take the chimney off the house because they had a clause in the contract between the previous two owners where the chimney was not part of the sale. This was not in your contract.

You gonna let the original owner take his chimney over some deal that happened a decade ago that you had no idea about?

I wonder if becoming used to disagreement between the eye and inner ear in other situations transfers to easier adaptation to VR.

When I was little, I'd often attempt to read while in moving vehicles, which quickly and reliably brought on severe motion sickness. I can longer remember the last time that's happened. Cured by repeated exposure? Simply growing up? Maybe because of both at once, involving neuroplasticity somehow.

I've only experienced VR through brief tech demos, so I guess I'll get the datum when the time comes.

PS: A search for online anecdotes finds contradictory accounts from people reporting acquiring motion sickness in such situations as adults
Step 1) register a domain
Step 2) pay for hosting and a MySQL database
Step 3) use jQuery, php, and SQL to develop your own note taking website

Congratulations, now you’ve developed a solution to your question while learning some CS along the way.
That's where the discipline comes in: one has to know when it's okay to use the simpler approach (indices into a Vec), and when it's better to use Arcs such as to prevent privacy problems.
While VRChat supports regular desktops, if it was only on desktops then I suspect it would be seen as a Second Life clone.

(From what I read, Second Life only runs on VR as a janky 3rd party hack, not an official release. But my info may be out of date).
I had similar experience. I had an old account I had used to run some campaigns several years ago. Added new card details, did a test run, next day got the same “account suspended for violations” email, and no way to run ad campaigns anymore.

But XR will. It's clearly the future of general purpose display tech.

It seems like you're agreeing with me and creating a less appropriate analogy at the same time.
Subnautica is beautiful and immersive... and it's also a game that (in non-VR mode) makes my SO sick in mere moments. Maneuvering in 2D space using WASD is definitely a learned skill that many millennials take to easily after growing up on GoldenEye and the like - maneuvering in 3D space is a whole different ball game and feels intensely unnatural. As another good example Space Engineers and Hardspace: Shipbreaker are quite fun games but can really quickly disorientate me - in the later the stage is small enough that I can usually use landmarking to reorient myself - in the former it's just chaos whenever you're exploring low gravity.
I was about to respond with "Hey, I'm actually fond of those color palettes...". But, then, I realized really what i have a fondness for is the nostalgia of those times, not necessarily the colors or palettes... Good times!
At first my knee jerk reaction was to be outraged after reading the article. But after reading some comments here I suddenly came to the realization that we are just talking about ads. Who cares. I don't want to see any ads. Most ads are scams anyway. There is no way to know which ones are not scams. Say one in a million ads is something I might actually want. Oh well, I guess I will just miss out. I would never click on those google ads anyway. The more ad accounts being suspended is a good thing. Suspend them all!
I’d love to have a candidate who tells me “I love creating products”. I’ve hired a 100% junior, no school (formerly teacher), he kicks ass, I’ve increased his salary by 10% every 2 months since 8 months. He just loves the art of creating a product, maintaining it in prod, interviewing customers…

You are correct, it’s incredibly hard to detect.
> you have to make big decisions early on about what you're most interested in and then pursue a deep specialization in it

I am seeing similar trends to you wrt Generalists, and this is annoying but good advice.

Even when hired, generalists tend to get stuck with all the most tedious work from every department that simply no one wants to do. You end up being a one-stop shop for all intern and junior related work, with the added bonus of being invited to a lot of meetings and not getting credit (appropriate $ compensation) for your influence in those meetings.

I've settled on the belief that general knowledge is something you do for yourself, and to help set you apart from other specialists. It doesn't pay you directly. I've got almost a decade of general business and analytics knowledge, and always seems to stall out on the climb in ways you describe (not dropping the right software name brand). Time to make a bet
I don't particularly care about that if I'm being honest.

I really don't think there's much room creatively for non-indie VR games that fit on a standalone headset.

I'm sure there's something, but you can already do so much with something like beatsaber or superhot that I don't feel myself yearning for all that much more.

If we could use (say) AI techniques to create VR versions of classic movies, that would be cool and I'd pay a pretty penny for it, or even VR-specific works that actually explore the implications of the medium (I could see tomorrow's equivalent of black mirror's bandersnatch doing this), but I don't feel like my VR headset is a wasted investment at the moment.

Even just for flight sims and simracing it's genuinely fantastic. I'm probably never going to race at Le Mans at night in the rain, I want to though, so my brain makes the rest up for me when I put the headset on.
I’m not a fan of connectivity issues but I agree that the concept is interesting.
> Here they gave the owner a 90, then came back and limited it to 60, after the fact, years later.

Yah. And the buyer was a buyer in good faith of a 90 product that no one expected to be snapped down to a 60 artificially afterwards. I agree this is very problematic.
Odd, that's not what the article says about their lifetime in those kinds of orbits.

>I also made a fake, empty Facebook account to use the Oculus store, so I don't feel like it's a privacy invasion.

You're kidding yourself with that. You gave Facebook literal eyes into your home through an internet connected device. If you don't think Facebook know who you are I have some coins I'd like to sell you.
You are talking about something subtly but crucially different. Replacing your headlights is not illegal, only the type of headlight you use is legally restricted. Modification itself is not legally restricted, only the end result.
I've seen an insightful explanation (from an immigrant from Ukraine) why it doesn't matter is there is a problem with the Russian culture or not but it should be cancelled in any case: to win this war Ukrainian people need to mobilize and hatred to anything Russian will help to mobilize them. It is not enough for them to hate Putin, to fight they need to hate all Russians. For this reason it is important to convince all that all Russians are imperialists and Russian culture is all poisoned by imperialism. And it doesn't matter if it would backfire - in an authoritarian Russia it doesn't matter what ordinary people think. Ukraine on other hand is more or less democratic state - it is for the people to decide if they would accept defeat or will continue to fight.
I guess it's just in which inconvenience you pick.

It seems like there is no EV that is free of something stupid that the car manufacturer is making you put up with.

Maybe Tesla it's these general annoyances. Or collision repair or out of warranty service annoyances.

I test drove a VW ID.4. It sounds like if I bought one I might deal with annoyances (markups, delays) trying to buy the car because dealers are annoying. The flip side is if I bought one and it needs service I can walk home from the local VW dealer to my house pretty quickly. Hyper Local service is rather nice.
It’s difficult to sacrifice that once you experience it.
You can literally just take the sim card out of the vehicle.
The difference is irrelevant. It could be any part replaced under warranty. The point is they both fulfill the same function (graphics card), take the same slot on the motherboard and the 3080Ti is better.
If you piss off your current customer base before you land the new one you'll be filing for bankruptcy protection before you know it.
Not all software is "apps", is the point.

To add to those who have said that there are legal implications, I would add anecdotally I was advised by my HR department not to give feedback for exactly that reason. (We had a junior candidate who misrepresented his experience on his resume, and I would've offered some advice about this sort of thing for the future.)

There is also often a very high volume of candidates for particular positions, and it is a challenge to offer feedback, especially when they're not brought in for a live interview.

In my own process, interesting positions result in me searching for hiring managers at the company, sending a cover letter+resume that includes a table of their needs listed in the JD alongside my skills. This tends to get me closer to the interview table and provides an opportunity to exchange enough information for feedback purposes. It's also a bit of a differentiator in terms of resume structure (more than one interviewer has commented on it).
> I think the problem is that there are 2 different types of "can't": can't as in technologically impossible, and can't as in legally disallowed.

Exactly. Bait and switch is legally disallowed, even when technically possible.
How would that work? You can't automate testing of papers. However flawed the process is, this is what peer review is intended to do.
Ask HN: Malware researchers, what hardware/software configuration do you use?
Hi experts,

I'm interested in a malware researcher/reverse engineer's view about HW and SW security. Imagine that you get to see all kinds of weird rootkits/exploits everyday, such as the UEFI malware HN is discussing right now, how do you config your work/personal laptop? (I include work computers as I assume you as specialists have a lot of controls to your work computers)

I'm interested in the following topics if you could shed some light:

- What OS do you use and is there any security reason behind of it (e.g. You probably use Windows VM to research/reverse malwares but what about the host?)

- What security software do you run? (e.g. any anti-malware software you trust or you prefer to write your own detection tools)

- Can you please give one example about a tool you wrote specifically for protecting the computer from being penetrated by advanced malware groups?

- What habits do you have regarding security? (e.g. how do you access emails/banking/any daily necessity these days)

Thanks in advance!

Shopify Announces It Will Slash Its Workforce
> I suspect it may be an Alienware PC. If so, why wouldn't we call it that?

You could call it an Alienware PC.

My question: Would it be ethical for you to represent it as an Alienware PC, and sell it as an Alienware PC by purposefully attempt pass it off by changing the appearance to make it look like an Alienware PC?

To add to the gray area:

Say DELL XPS 1000 and Alienware 90210 are essentially the same machine, save for custom tuning, drivers, and cosmetics. Alienware gets a 25% markup.

You have the XPS 1000, apply the custom tuning and drivers to get the performance of the XPS to that of it's Alienware's counterpart.

Could you sell it for more than the market rate for a use XPS1000? Yes. I'd argue you have added value by custom tuning the PC. But I believe responsible to disclose that it was an XPS that had been modified.

Taking this back to cars. If an when I sell my Golf R, I will disclose it has received a Stage 1 Turbo upgrade (and hopefully use that to increase the resale value--though it typically does not except to other enthusiasts).
These paranoid delusions never get old. If Microsoft accidentally changes their license agreement to lorem ipsum, bloggers like this will surely be trying to decipher exactly how it steals their freedom. The fatal flaw in these posts is, as it always is, the blind assumption that Microsoft can just do whatever they want, unimpeded. If Microsoft declared, as an april 1st joke, that app PCs henceforth must be painted sky blue, these bloggers would take it seriously. They act as though Microsoft is the high priesthood of computers, and they can declare literally anything with the stroke of a pen. They act like Mac doesn't exist, cheap Linux computers don't exist, RISC-V (which doesn't even run Windows) doesn't exist. Non-Windows-compatible ARM devices don't exist. PC vendors are mindless drones that do whatever Microsoft tells them (even if it means losing billions of dollars to Apple) and they certainly aren't selling (Dell: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4847720) linux (HP: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31617198) laptops (Lenovo: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28186204) right now (and don't even think about installing Linux on your Google Chromebook, it won't work! https://support.google.com/pixelbook/answer/9031351?hl=en ).

My car came with a modem and was calling home. Now whatever wireless service it uses is no longer available. My car has been telling me it couldn't connect and that it would stop trying but it never stopped trying. Apparently, I have to take the car to the dealer and pay them to disable the feature in software. I'm not finding any value in this.
I basically do this too, though I just put in some random gibberish (or "admin" or "info" or something) before the domain. I figure they probably have some catchall email address, and if not, nothing wasted

It's just a tight platformer with a small twist in the movement mechanic, that's not "a revolution of game design".

Frankly, Outer Wilds plays like shit. The controls are extremely complicated and difficult to wrestle with. However, that really suits the exploratory nature of the game. However, in terms of game design, Outer Wilds is clearly _far_ more interesting and revolutionary than Celeste. Totally physics-based 3D platformer and space exploration game on a time loop is obviously far more mechanically interesting than a 2D platformer with a restricted mid-air dash...

This is such a killer feature in PG, my new job uses it and it makes audits of our tenancy model dead simple.

Coming from a SaaS company that used MySQL, we would get asked by some customers how we guarantee we segmented their data, and it always ended at the app layer. One customer (A fortune 10 company) asked if we could switch to SQL Server to get this feature...

Our largest customers ask how we do database multi-tenant and we point to our SDLC + PG docs and they go 'K'.

It is endlessly baffling to me that people love making analogies (and arguing about analogies!) when the situation is fairly simple to explain.

Like another comment suggested, this is a small error in the customer's favor, and companies who care about customer satisfaction should really just eat the minimal cost when stuff like this happens instead of getting bogged down in technicalities.
