The truth of it all is that almost everything now is designed to subsidize something else, and it's a convoluted mess that enables people to steal and hide money, and to divert it to serve their interests.

If we properly addressed infrastructure spending on bike lanes and all of the things done to ensure bike safety through creating a bike registration tax and an insurance system, then a lot more could likely be done... Currently all of the new bike infrastructure going in to cities is subsidized by car taxes and things like speed cameras.

If extremely wealthy individuals paid their fair share in taxes, and if cities stopped subsidizing their huge sports stadiums and warehouses, then it possibly would be a lot easier to maintain and update infrastructure. We tolerate a revolving door of corruption and mis-use of funds in local and federal government, yet the middle class and poor are taxed at around half of their annual income every year once all the various taxes that can be levied are paid.

It's not about subsidizing poor low tax neighborhoods to me... The biggest offense is in the deceptive welfare system that is constantly subsidizing private companies and greedy individuals that really don't build growth and opportunity in communities for anyone but themselves...

Also we do have to admit that road and infrastructure work regularly is excessively overbilled to local governments...

The employees that do it are underpaid perhaps, but there is a long history in this country of infrastructure repair contracts being well overpriced in cost and time...

> wealthier parents, or poor enough to receive free rides through grants and scholarships

Some of my nieces and nephews are going to college this year. They all seem to have gotten free rides for tuition( they have to pay for room and board). They are all solidly middle class. I don't think what you are saying here is correct.
I'm starting to feel like I'm shilling for Mazda but this is exactly how the touchscreen control works in all their new cars.

Physical dials and buttons for all the important controls for, y'know, driving the car - but for stuff like interacting with maps, streaming music and all the other CarPlay/Android Auto apps - what you've described is exactly what they have, and I got used to it very quickly. Even though the touchscreen works at low speed, I never use it.

I'm sure there are other manufacturers who have resisted the urge to copy Tesla's omni-screen and I'd love to know who they are.
they have a GH org, too: https://github.com/JetBrains-Research

Not sure, but they've really been active the last couple of years in language training and collaborative development. Plus, I happen to think their IDEs are probably the best out there (despite their relative complexity).

Been a happy user of their IDE suite now for many years, and IMHO, nothing else comes even close.

Polestar, and probably new cars from the sister Volvo,have a really good Android Auto based (not the screen cast Android Automotive) navigation screen using Google Maps for navigation. On electric cars it uses information from the car to build better routes, estimate battery usage and suggest charging stations.
you are right. i didn't really answer your question. i mean to say that racism in the US is more open in the sense that more people recognize discrimination as such. it is also more systemic. as you can see it happening in institutions. in europe there is a lack of awareness and it's mostly individuals unaware that their behavior is xenophobic or racist.
I can look into that, but it may be a good idea to just stop assuming that tech is full of dudes. I'd need to think about how to do it without being an asshole about it, which is kind of hard. I may just make it show up only when hacker news is the referer.
Agree with most of the points in the article. I’ve tried to attack this party by generating code and leaving all other maintenance to developer without any framework constraints: https://github.com/sashabaranov/pike
There might just not be enough demand overall to justify creating lower tech versions of cars. Similar to how car enthusiasts tend to like manual cars. The economies of scale for companies just often isn’t there to create manual versions across multiple models of cars.

It should in be easier to create low tech versions of cars (no need to have an entirely different transmission) so perhaps this is a flimsy reason.

They make software IDEs

IntelliJ Ultimate is widely considered one of the best for Java development (Android Studio is a fork of the open source branch).
Examples: MBAs, Marissa Mayer, Lisa Su...

Of course not all engineers are cut out for management and some don't even want to do the transition, but a lot of successful CEOs (especially in tech) come from a combination of technical background + MBA.

I would add that attention to detail (a characteristic from technical people) is a good indicator of how this transfer can be achieved successfully.

A healthy distrust of generalists is understandable, given that a characteristic of bsing is to talk in generalities (no details) and some are very adept at convincing interviewers of their supposed skills.

> The solution to that is simple. Put four/five physical buttons down each side of the screen, maybe along the bottom too, and then you can make everything still programmable in software.

This, though functions like climate control, audio, and anything needed to operate the car while in motion should still have dedicated buttons. Touchscreens in cars are an abomination.

> I have no idea why you absolutely need to put buttons in the middle of the screen to be touched.

They don't need to, they're just following the touchscreen all the things UX fad. Turns out capacitive touchscreens were a great fit for cell phones, but that doesn't mean they have a place anywhere else.
weaselly omissions and framing

treasury says:

> “Today, Treasury is sanctioning Tornado Cash, a virtual currency mixer that launders the proceeds of cybercrimes, including those committed against victims in the United States,” said Under Secretary of the Treasury for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence Brian E. Nelson. “Despite public assurances otherwise, Tornado Cash has repeatedly failed to impose effective controls designed to stop it from laundering funds for malicious cyber actors on a regular basis and without basic measures to address its risks. Treasury will continue to aggressively pursue actions against mixers that launder virtual currency for criminals and those who assist them.”

https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/jy0916

Article only defends with:

> Tornado Cash was not designed to protect hackers but to protect all people, just as bulletproof vests were invented to protect all in danger, not specifically robbers.

Shitty sophistry.
HN should delete these kind of submissions. The title is extreme click-bait.

CLICK HERE, YOU WONT BELIEVE WHAT THEY FOUND!

DOCTORS HATE THIS ONE TRICK, WATCH THIS VIDEO!

Seriously, I like HN because of generally decent articles and NORMAL old school titles without click bait.
Subsidized in a way that they get a disproportionate amount of services perhaps. But I would argue that is almost irrelevant. Costly services like schooling and transport infrastructure scales mostly by the amount of people.

You could of course calculate business taxes proportionally to the work suburbs deliver, but that would be quite dishonest.

You can always say that only the most densely populated place carries its own... but that isn't convincing. I am not from the US, but we have similar discussions here. That people have to live in the city if they want to live efficient. Problem is that few want to and I think at that point the discussion should be almost ended.
Sure, but that wasn’t the statements I was replying to?

I’ve always thought touchscreens were a huge hassle and terrible for anything you needed to do regularly without looking. I bought my current vehicle avoiding touchscreens.

But the assertion was it shouldn’t be a thing using any non-driving essential controls at all while driving, correct?

It actually does work on my Polestar even when music is played, it pause the music while listening. Polestar uses Google voice recognition which is great, but still I hate using it except for rare cases at it is slow and prone to misunderstandings. It is ok-ish for listening to incoming messages though.
I would say a non-exclusionary city would work just as well. Tokyo is the most expansive city I can think of and they've managed to keep prices down.

Still, fighting to make US cities more livable is a laudable goal.
I imagine they are using either GNUStep or Cocotron as the basis for their Cocoa support, not starting fully from scratch.
That's horrific. From a quick back of the envelope calculation that's hundreds of billions of unrealized taxes.
I had to look up what a "clutch start cancel" button even does.

For anyone else curious, "allows the truck to be started without the clutch pedal depressed". This generally causes the vehicle to lurch forward as the engine starts with first gear already engaged.

I am curious if you've ever had to use that button?
I don’t know about much about the space but my first impression is the initial pitch is confusing.

Fight NFT Fraud sounds like a service for company buying/selling NFTs, and needs to stop attacks on their system and is actually slightly vague.

Seems like people can check if a specific NFT is stolen or improperly minted?

Lead with that. CarFax for NFT (but even more important)

I noticed the logo misalignment but the rest of the website was pretty good so I figured it was a one-off issue (rather than representative of a trend).

> The dial would move the focus around the screen

That sounds dangerous. It's basically the interface that AppleTV uses.

I find it extremely confusing, as I frequently select the wrong item (and I have been using AppleTVs for years).

Also, it's no fun to program.
I think you missed my point: they put their energy into the writing, not the animation.
That sucks. Touchscreens have become so cheap (because economies of scale), Audi is probably saving manufacturing cost by not having physical buttons, simply because of the custom design cost of integrating buttons into a PCB and then programming it[1]. Touchscreens might even be cheaper than non-touch screens. They often have higher resolution. Audi is probably transitioning to using software stacks designed to build touch-screen apps instead of buttons and don't want their software devs to even think in that outdated mode of "buttons". It's completely self-serving and chasing the design trends, tripping after Tesla tech woo, not consumer demand.

[1] Which is totally ridiculous IMHO, because even with my completely amateur skills, wiring up a few buttons to an embedded chip is NBD.
The elephant in the room with all of these big AI models is whether we continue to allow any entity to scrape individuals' data off the internet and use it in the development of their software without any consideration to the rights of the owner of the data.

Just because there isn't a perfect 1:1 copy of the data in their released software, doesn't mean we should ignore the fact that this data--which they do not have rights to--is critical for the development of their software.

Many people are conflating this issue with the copyright of the software output (i.e., "you can't copyright a style"). But many artists are rightfully angry that their creative products, which they own the rights to, are being used as a critical component in the development of someone else's software and they have no say in it. They also have no recourse to get their data removed from the development chain.

This is not a new problem, of course. But with the image generators it's become more explicit about how the output relates to the input: "Give me a painting of a clock by Salvador Dali".

I think in terms of data usage rights, we need to consider the inputs of these models and not just the outputs. Data laundering through AI is only going to get worse.
All this is true, but you missed a crucial piece, addressing your "need to engage" - political energy capacity coming from the young. I'll be more than glad to be proven wrong, but I don't think young people have driven any sort of political change in the west for at least the last 20 years. There are many cases where they get used as a lever, but actual movements like "occupy wallstreet" got squashed fairly fast.
Martin, if you're still around, could you tell us what phone you would recommend to someone if they were wanting to switch to daily driving PostmarketOS? Do you still see that as the pinephone or do you consider another device as having a more promising future/better hardware/better support?

>we decided to abandon the current path of using X11/KDE desktop components and write from scratch a new UI that will align better with our goals. A very early UI on the new WindowServer is starting to take shape as of 2022-07-27.

This is amazing! The cynical side of me says, please let me switch git branches in CLI without PhpStorm losing my branch context/file set — a bug that’s been sitting for 5 years and basically looks like is never getting fixed.

Hey there! Ziyad from Loft here.

Nimbus is more like GitPod/Codespaces and not intrinsically linked to Kubernetes like DevSpace is. DevSpace is optimized for cloud native development and you could run it on top of Nimbus to connect your dev environment to a k8s cluster.

I agree to it being an existential threat - to Moscow and the Kremlin.

(Which is what matters.)

A prospering, west-oriented, large and largely Russophone country on their borders would be a terrible reminder for both populations what a massive failure the Russian state is.
This pops up every couple of months or so. The numbers don't make sense and don't reflect reality. Infrastructure is ~10% of local government budget. Nobody is going bankrupt over that.

And AFAIK there's no city in existence where taxes & government expenditures are lower in the city compared to the suburbs. The expensive parts about government are mostly Schools & Criminal Justice. Both are significantly more expensive in cities on a per capita basis.
There are no additional legal requirements to having foreign tenants.

That being said, there are strong legal requirements to having any tenants. Japan is very renter-friendly, and you can even be months late on paying rent without any chance of eviction. So lenders lean towards avoiding any risk at all. It can be harder to find a place as a foreigner due to risk-adversity, but while most comments here want to paint it as racism, my guess is few of the posters actually speak Japanese - I suspect it would be difficult finding a place in any country when not speaking of their language, though have no actual experience to base that on. But as a brown (other comments have suggested we suffer more discrimination, which is true in the eyes of cops and general people assuming we are all poor restaurant owners) that speaks Japanese, real estate had never been difficult, though there is additional cost for a guarantor which would otherwise be a family member.

But the thread is about Singapore where presumably there is no languages issue so not sure where Japan came from. I suppose it's tradition though for expats here to vent though ;)

ECU code is often nearly as sloppily written as that JavaScript. They follow MISRA and usually have a couple "QA" teams to catch the most egregious errors of course, but the overall quality is eerily similar to what you'd get if half the team came straight out of a time machine from 1995. I've had to give informational sessions on why boot systems should have redundancy and what undefined behavior is, for example.

What are your daily range needs? I bought a used 2012 Nissan Leaf in 2015. The range on a very good day would probably have topped out at around 60 or 70 miles. However, for virtually every need I have, it's worked really really well, and I've been extremely happy with it.

We own a second, gas car for long trips, but if you don't have a need for a second vehicle, you can supplement this with ride sharing, or vehicle rental. Would I like more range? Sure, it wouldn't hurt. But do I need it? Really very rarely, and there are certainly options to charge mid-day if I do.

I assume PE is responsible for the mess in government contracting- the small companies that get shit done are snapped up by larger firms that then do nothing except lobby and hire former officials. To some extent it had always been that way, but now instead of it being a big contractor (say Lockheed or Northrop) preying on a few smaller companies, it's outsiders like KBR buying everyone.
Oh you're right! I've got a box of coarse salt as well and it doesn't have any additives - interesting as it and the kosher salt are about the same size.
I think that manufacturers are too busy trying to be the Steve Jobs of cars.

They're thinking about making their vehicles look differently than everyone else's instead of thinking about what would work the best?
No biggie.

You may be interested to know that the code for SD has already been released on Github, and they've given the weights to a bunch of researchers in preparation for full release. I've also heard that one of the researchers leaked the weights earlier today, and 4chan has been using them for, uh, stuff.

They have three major products that are wildly popular:

- IntelliJ is the most popular IDE for JVM-based languages, and provides a framework for other IDEs (like PyCharm, GoLand, etc)

- Kotlin is the standard language for Android development, and is now a first-class citizen in Spring Boot

- Jetpack promises cross-platform UI development that works better than anything since Electron. It remains to be seen if that promise pays off, but it has people excited.
I think it’s easy to miss some of the very real pain lower income folks are experiencing right now if you’re not in their bracket. Inflation causes excess capital to flow into assets, which the poor don’t have and HN commenters do.

The inflation issue is absolutely not solved. A single month from 9.1 -> 8.6 is FAR too soon for victory. I suspect the recent rally in the market comes from the assumption that the Fed will back off and that we have indeed already experienced peak inflation.

CPI of 8.6 is still unacceptable and my guess is we’re gonna see more rate hikes and QT than the markets expect. That’ll mean mortgage rates go up, companies will have more difficulty servicing debt…etc

We’re not in the clear quite yet!
I only drove an Audi once, and loved that little joystick thing. It was perfect.
Not coming from a technical background does not mean they don't possess technical abilities. Some were not fortunate enough to to receive opportunities for formal education, but were relentless in their pursuit of knowledge and self-education.
Accounting is also a strange field because its a bunch of almost unrelated fields stuck together. Accounting covers financial accounting (dealing with recording transactions, representing reality, etc), tax, management and cost accounting (things like tracking performance, figuring out what the widget you produced actually costs you, once you've included the direct costs and an estimate of overhead) and a whole slew of other things like internal controls, governance questions (how do you align incentives in an organization?), etc. Picking up a textbook on financial accounting is probably a good starting place to get the basics of debits/credits, but from there it depends what your interests are.

For books on finance, I recommend Niall Ferguson's Ascent of Money as
a pretty good introduction into the history of finance and how it all sortof fits together.
This can probably be solved at the federal level using smart taxation and incentives for mixed zoning.
Ask HN: Existing solutions to detect fraud risk based on email address?
Our marketplace is growing rapidly and so is the number of users that attempt to use it for fraudulent activities.

I am looking for a solution that could give us early warnings about users based on information that they input, e.g. "This email address was first seen in last 24hrs".

We have Stripe Radar, but that only kicks in when they attempt to make a payment, which is slightly too late.

At the moment, I am using Clearbit for this – I simply check if there is any information about the user in Clearbit, and that is proving to be a powerful signal. However, I am looking for a purpose built platform to pull warnings about users based on the information that we have.

Over 50% of people pay $0 in income taxes. Yes, they pay sales taxes and generally property taxes indirectly as part of their rent - but they provide 0 in revenues as far as state, local, and Federal taxes are concerned.
