Tesla replaces a 60 with a 90, HQ says 'set this to be 60', service center doesn't do it. Years later another center looks at the config and fixes the mistake, probably because there's a big warning and the technicians before them ignored it out of goodwill.

The OP is right in that Tesla should codify in the goodwill of free upgrades when logistics doesn't allow it, but they didn't, so the car being rebadged by the owner as a 90 is an issue.

This is the same argument as the Tesla heated seats microtransaction: Tesla actually loses money on cars without rear heated seats if they have to separate "heated rear seats" and "non-heated rear seats" into a new configuration, as it increases manufacturing complexity and logistics (ie. the ability to reassign same-spec cars to new owners if the existing owner backs out of their reservation at the last minute). It makes everything simpler to not make a M3 SR+ customer pay for the heated rear sets and allow them to opt for it later.
Only CUBIC and BBR seem to have any meaningful usage, however: https://www.comp.nus.edu.sg/~ayush/images/sigmetrics2020-gor...
>Heck, they could even cut down all legitimate 3080Tis to what would be 3080 or even 1060 performance via drivers after 3 years and you'd be able to do nothing besides complain on social media -- you still have exactly the amount of hardware sold, and they never promised any performance levels (just check their site, you only get things like compute units, clock speed, ram etc. not performance guarantees like FLOPs or FPS)

They can't legally do that now either. Apple was challenged in court for doing something similar and lost. There's already legal precedent. The problem is while that can't do that legally, they can do it technically and the path to recourse for the individual is difficult and often not worth it. Which means they can usually get away with it.

We need a way for the legal system do deal with these kinds of things that don't involve actually going to the over worked and too expensive courts to settle it.
Whereas other auto companies set high barriers to entry to the aftermarket for used cars of their brand by making them impossibly costly to fix after their parts began to fail, Tesla skips all steps and gets down to the core of how you discourage it: generating fear and ill will. A more efficient way to discourage your "users" from "transferring" your product.
The reasons for RMS getting booted from the lab were many and mostly imho deserved; his defense of Marvin was merely used as the final straw.

No only that, but it's perpetually out of stock in most regions as well.
My last job used Gitlab as an external CI.
Some languages, like Python[0], have a low-level socket library that maps pretty closely to the C API used in the book.

I think the "played it before" option is for me, if I choose to get it. Is it worth it if you'd played the original?

The original was interesting in its kind of a game, but more of a experience. The narration was excellent and there were some interesting nooks to find. I definitely didn't find everything. (I think there was an award to not play the game for a year).
Why expensive gasoline is here to stay
It's actually a bit scary. When considering what upgrades to buy, I'm afraid those won't be able to be transferred. So if I pay $XXXX for a feature, I have to account for that being worth $0 if I were to sell the car. Is the price point then really worth it?
This article may as well have been about writing to file streams does not block until a read occurs. Maybe the documentation (on sockets?!) could be more clear but at some point more words don't help with conceptual understanding.
I honestly don’t understand how Oracle is still alive. Postgres has so many of these killer features.

Also, I wonder how others do tenant separation, what other solutions there are.
We kind of went on a tangent because my response was a bit too pedantic. I am just surprised, to my knowledge, nothing came of the manifests. I don't think they were a nothing burger.

Epstein's "Lolita Express" plane had a manifest of passengers for years of trips. Certain figures show up many times on flights with Epstein and his girls. Certain people on the list, or at least their spokesmen, publicly denied flying there (at least at first, eventually, the denials started including more and more caveats).

A lot of celebrities went to Epstein's New York parties, but the private plane is different. You have a select few individuals on a convicted pedophile's plane, a plane used to transport the underaged women. Like, if it was Pablo Escobar's drug plane flying back and forth from his drug island, is it there probable cause to investigate the passengers activities on the plane and island? Perhaps that is too extreme of a comparison, I do not know what the investigators know. Maybe they did investigate and determined it to be benign. I am just saying I am surprised nothing came of it.

I am also surprised nothing came of Epstein's hundreds of cameras at his properties... I read Giuffre's book draft (when it was in evidence in one of the cases). I know it is just her word, but it just seems like Epstein recorded so many things, that I am surprised that no one was prosecuted including no-named people. Also, it is an extremely disturbing read, a lot of it is even pre-Epstein, I had no idea she was trafficked multiple times (google FBI Ron Eppinger)

Outside of the legal investigation, I am not even sure what Occam's razor would suggest here. The FBI seized computers and camera systems from his properties. I think it is unlikely everything found was benign. Only the recruiter of sex trafficked minors was prosecuted (outside Epstein). This probably biases my view, I feel there was a lack of investigating going on, so maybe I am too biased to have a reasonable opinion on the manifests.
The Honda-e is not available at all in the US. The top line excuse is that side-view cameras are still not street legal in the US (though regulators are supposed to finally reconvene on that any day now) and the car's profile can't retrofit mirrors. But the current bottom line seems a disinterest from Honda of America in any EV products right now.
I suppose so? The Shanghai maglev train [2] might be the only high-speed maglev in operation [3]. The train has a cruising speed of 431 km/h, but averages 250 km/h in actual operation — covering 30 km in 8 minutes with no stops in the middle.

[3]: Maglevs in Beijing, Changsha, Incheon, and Aichi Prefecture all operate at ~100 km/h or less.
Show HN: Skeleton – an open source UI component library for Svelte and Tailwind
Hello HN, my name is Chris. My team and I are excited to announce the launch of our new open source UI component library called Skeleton.

We've been hard at work for several months and am thrilled to finally pull back the curtain. The goal is to put it out there, let folks go hands on, and gather any feedback we can. If there's bug, a component you would like to see added etc., then we want to know so we can continue to grow and make this better for everyone.

Being open source, we welcome any contributions from the community. If you're interested in joining, you can find us on Github:

https://github.com/Brain-Bones/skeleton

And yes, we realize that the combination of Svelte and Tailwind may place us in a niche. Personally speaking, we've had a lot of success with these technologies in the real world. We love what Rich Harris and his team are bringing to the frontend space with Svelte and SvelteKit, and have found Tailwind to be a great boon when creating design systems for web-based apps We're really hoping Skeleton can bridge the gap and provide the best of both worlds, while saving you the time of recreating these components yourself.

That's really the biggest benefit of Skeleton - the tight integration between Svelte and Tailwind CSS. It utilizes Tailwind’s utility classes to customize and extend the look and feel of each component. Then pairs this with Svelte’s awesome component architecture. This allows you to create customized, responsive, and reactive interfaces with surprisingly minimal effort.

Of course, feel free to try it out for yourself. If you have any questions or suggestions, please don't hesitate to reach out. I'm excited to see what everyone can produce with Skeleton!

Thanks!
The trick works in analog too. Just stuff the pre-paid business reply mail with other junk mail.
Not to mention they can now Id you based off your retina scan. They can also profile your house and products you use in your house. Facebook is reckless with data. Just read up on the Cambridge Analytica scandal. They were even sharing facebook messenger conversations with third party data consumers.
In the US, for a while, car manufacturers could void your warranty over modifications. Something happened some-odd years back that made it so that they had to prove that the modification is what caused the issue to refuse service.
Have you tried contacting them to ask? Some companies are open to it. A couple of years ago I interviewed with a number of companies. Two companies I really liked rejected me after a full round of interviews.

It hurt, but I decided to try something. I sent an email with something along the lines of "I am disappointed that you decided to pass on me, but I respect your decision. I know this is a big ask, but I'd really like some feedback on how I can be better at what I do".

Surprisingly, both companies agreed to meet with me again (via Zoom), and the feedback sessions were about 1/2 hour each. I just sat back and listened (and at the end, thanked them again for their time). In one case, it was with the hiring manager, in the other it was with the recruiter. What I learned was very valuable, and these two companies are definitely on my list to work with again. With one company, what sank me was that they felt I did not have the technical depth for the role (and I was impressed with how detailed their feedback was).
With the second company, they felt that I did not have leadership experience of the breadth that they needed.

Now, granted, it is pretty rare for companies to invest time in a candidate that they have already rejected (unless they figure this is someone they would love to recruit in the future when they had more experience or for a slightly different role), but it is possible if you send an email thanking them for the opportunity and phrase the request for feedback as a growth opportunity for you that they might be open to it.

Also, I know that some people state that companies do not do this for legal reasons but truth be told, unless the company is rejecting you for an illegal reason, this is a non-issue. It is more an issue of how much bandwidth the company is willing to spare.
Amber Room: Disappearance and Mysteries
Yet another example of why we need open-source information about how to find the LTE modem in cars and disable it.

Longer term, we need firewalls and deep packet inspection devices we can install inline with the LTE modem, so people can still get maps and traffic info, but reject all software "upgrades." We need ublock origin for cars.
I mean, sure, if you boycott the question you probably won't move on. But I'm not sure I want to work with someone unwilling to be curious or participate in problem-solving together. To me this filter is a positive effect of the test. In the interviews I've given I'll even handhold an applicant through to the optimal solution if need be, because to be perfectly honest I'd much rather have a coworker who is enthusiastic about learning and shows the ability to collaborate than someone who can write code but refuses to do so in a social setting (i.e. an interview). I want someone that I can have an intelligent conversation with because _I need my ideas validated, too_.
Every B2B client who asked us how we handle multi-tenancy also asked how we ensure their data is erased at the end of the contract. Using a shared database with RLS means you have to go through all DB backups, delete individual rows for that tenant, then re-generate the backup. That’s a non-starter, so we opted for having one DB per tenant which also makes sharding, scaling, balancing, and handling data-residency challenges easier.
I assume this is to cover any losses from them soon making it possible to use the Quest without a Facebook account? ie: The data they will not be able to sell.
Back when I used to listen to MP3s from my hard drive, I used ReplayGain[0] to normalize the loudness. It took a not-insignificant amount of time to run on my music library though, so I'm not sure how it would do in real time. I've always wished that YouTube and the like would do this.

For websites without a dark mode, I use Dark Reader[1]. It does a fairly good job on most sites. It even works on Google maps and PDFs!

I really like GitLab's CI. Actions is probably winning the war, though.
What does it mean to be more philosophically aligned with one corporation vs another?
> The author looks down their nose at microtransactions so they have probably missed all the innovation even as it continues to cross pollinate with every aspect of the games industry.

I've been doing some serious innovation in plumbing lately. Cut the drain pipe of an upstairs toilet so now it just drains into the room under it. If you hadn't been paying attention to letting-toilets-drain-into-occupied-rooms, you might not think there's much innovation going on in plumbing.
If you serve a lot of customers but have lousy revenue you should have extra regulations which would probably drive you out of business because of the extra cost? Revenue seems a lot more reasonable metric.

Relevantly,

> Tesla limits the range on lower-end versions of the Model S in software, as well as disabling Autopilot functions if those functions weren't purchased.

> Some high-end BMW cars in [list of countries] have the option to pay a subscription fee for features such as heated seats, advanced cruise control, and automatic beam switching. The components and functionality already exist within the vehicle, but BMW has a software block that prevent them from being used without paying.

Any systemd-using Linux distro will also automount /efi as writable only by root (assuming the mount was generated by GPT auto generator, not by a specific fstab entry), so it's not that either.
> Was the badge on the back changed to P90? That doesn't sound like a 'mistake' Tesla would make when making a warranty repair.

It's conceivable. As far as I can tell, Tesla seems to offer battery replacement as a paid, after-the-fact upgrade. Presumably/hopefully that comes with a new badge since it affects the resale value.

The mechanics could have, through lack of communication or coordination, performed that same procedure for this warranty repair.

(But that's speculation, and really we just need more info.)
These lines would be unambiguously better (cheaper, much simpler materials, much less embodied carbon, faster and more reliable if given a proper right of way) than a bunch of electric buses in shared traffic so it makes sense to bring them up.
Assuming this refers to Batterygate, the loss was only in the EU where they do have better consumer protections.

They actually settled in the US to avoid setting precedent...
We recently moved off of Circle CI to self-hosted GitHub Actions runners. It is ridiculously expensive: our solution is in the region of 27x cheaper.
Did they rewrite all the jokes? Re-record the voice lines? Not to be too blunt about it but graphics mean fuck-all to a game like The Stanley Parable. It could've been a Playstation 1 title and been every bit as fun.

After looking it up, they actually didn't bother re-recording the voice lines from the original so now half the narration is by someone a decade older.
Yes. Lotion for Notion.
> What are things people and businesses pay for?

I think this is missing the "to fix annoyances, remove frustrations, save time" bullet point.

That's basically all my own one-person business does (https://lunar.fyi/), it allows people to add adaptive brightness on external monitors, turn off individual monitors from the keyboard etc.

Things that are simply frustrating to do daily without software help, either because the monitor buttons are hard to press, options hidden under a lot of menus, or a multi-step process is needed.

And people are paying for it, even though it doesn't help them make money, it doesn't educate or entertain them, and it definitely doesn't help them sell anything.
I didn’t see that until after. Sad, v8 is a massive library.
So they'd split off Google Ads then create another ad platform to sell ads on their properties? Why would anyone use the independent Google Ads?
Are those modifications illegal or is driving it on public roads after those modifications illegal?
> Yeah, morally, but we need to start working to make this guaranteed legally.

I'm not sure I disagree with you, but the invocation of the word "morally" here really reminds me of the software licensing debates from twenty-something years ago. Twenty years later most people seem resigned on the software licensing issue (although I doubt their opinion has changed), and they seemed resigned on limiting their ability to run custom software on hardware they paid for (jailbreaking an Apple phone), but there is still plenty of grumbling for software that limits access to hardware features. Tesla limiting the battery capacity is not really different from Apple limiting which OS's you can install on their hardware. Unless I'm missing something?
The AA vehicles will likely be soon be EVs themselves, and allow sharing their own battery charge, just as some existing EV cars do.
But earlier you said that you weren't buying a car in response to the article saying that the price of new cars has gone up
Sadly, a lot of people disagree with you and do want much heavier regulations for a lot of those things.
My brother and I do the same. We live 500 miles away from each other, but in mini-golf it feels like we're just hanging out.
I wonder if there's a trick we're missing related to the dead-tree history of papers that we could address.

Namely, paper references always reach back in time. Papers don't reference papers that were written after they were written. And if that sounds stupid, bear with me a second.

We've talked a lot about the reproducibility problem, and that's part of propagation errors in papers (I didn't prove this value, I just cribbed it from [5]). If we had a habit of peer reviewing papers and then adding the peer review retroactively to the original paper, both for positive and negative results, would we slow this merry-go-round down a little bit and reduce the head-rush? Would that help prevent people from citing papers that have been debunked?
Ask HN: How well does Cloudflare analytics work?
Hey HN!

Has anyone used Cloudflare's web analytics[1] product? Specifically, I'm referring to the analytics product which requires you to switch over to Cloudflare managing your DNS.

How accurate are these DNS level analytics?

I've added client-side javascript based analytics tools to my site (specifically: Heap, Google Analytics), and there's a huge difference in the data. Cloudflare says I've got over 1k hits, and heap says I'm at 10. I'm not sure what to believe! Could the difference be due to web crawlers, adblockers, or something else?

Thanks!

Trolleys have a fixed route, which is not ideal. Fixed routes is why you see buses going down the road empty, or with one person on them.
I was using the superlative. “Wealthiest”. This is billionaires, not millionaires. Not merely rich, but the most rich.
I also left out one piece of info. I am pretty senior (Staff Engineer), so it is possible that companies are willing to invest that level of effort for more senior engineering roles and less for more junior roles.

Also, being rejected sucks (I've been in the field 25+ years, I have been rejected by a lot of companies), but contextualizing it as "I was not right for the role" rather than "I suck" (which used to be my go to), has been hugely helpful.

Working on margin is the exact opposite of overcollateralization.
So they no longer feel they need to subsidize it because there are no competitors in the segment and they sold enough to maintain the ecosystem?
I used this in the early 1980s, on a VAX 11/780. It was one of the three languages of Poplog. The other two were Prolog and Lisp. Lisp would have been my preference, but at the time it lacked some important features. I notice Poplog now has Common Lisp, which wasn't available until later.
Legacy.

If you have thousands of lines of code relying on Oracle the cost to migrate would be enormous.
I'd be curious to know whether the percentage of incorrect citations varies over time. I would guess more recent authors would be more likely to search by title in Google Scholar or SciHub (or use the DOI link, if available) rather than actually use the volume and page number, which could result in more authors who did read the article nonetheless getting the volume number wrong.

The playbook that is unfolding right now with pluton is the exact opposite.
The quest 2 does not have an inward facing camera pointing at your iris.
Tesla after-care is amazingly bad. Falling through the cracks will leave you up a river without a paddle.

You have to be an astute Tesla purchaser to avoid all the “easy” pitfalls. Which simply summarizes to: Don't buy anything that has a weird option. Don't expect to be retro-fitted for anything, and get whatever it is in writing.

With my Model 3, I bought one used from Tesla and it originally came with premium connectivity forever. However, when I purchased mine, it was supposed to only be active for a year (this was the standard deal for used car purchases from Tesla at the time). I still have it 2 years later. They probably have a filter/cutoff by vin # that says who gets premium forever and doesn't filter for sold/resold by Tesla..until they fix that glitch. It’ll happen one day, I’m sure.

The latest pitfall is service. If you have a problem, the only way to talk to someone is to go to the service center. If you have a problem afterwards, you’ll end up as a ticket in the system and no one will get back to you in a timely manner.

Service story time;
I had my car serviced for a bad LTE board. It took them several days to diagnose this. When I picked up the car, they had taken apart the panels in the trunk. My mobile connector was in the trunk, and they forgot to put it back in when re-assembling the car. I didn't realize this till the day after I picked up the car. I called as soon as I found this out and could not get a live person at the service center. The call center could only put a ticket in and they'd get back to me in 72 hours. In cases like this, time is of the essence, the more time that's passed, the more likely that my mobile connector would go missing. Anyway, after a lot of calling, no one could get me in touch with someone at the service center. no one. I couldn't drive back down there myself for 5 days. When I finally got there, the service advisor didn't even go ask the tech who worked on my car where the connector was. He just gave me a new one. Very frustrating.
Agree - performance on row level security (at least on SQL Server) is terrible, sharing by database is fairly easy.
Sure, from your computers OS. Its not like javascript loaded from the web can write to your UEFI unless you use an insecure browser.

Most people are not going to be downloading random executables and running them, since software is managed through App stores nowdays.
This is a great selection. Thanks for sharing.
