>Alot of popular languages make it really easy to write code, but hard to maintain it .

The language you're writing in has next to no meaningful impact on long term maintenance. When you're trying to do software archeology on why a function even exists the types it has will not help you figure out it's there because between 1996 and 2002 there was a tax rebate on capex for rocket development.

You need human understandable documentation, not fancy language features. This is no where near as sexy so no one does documentation and we're in the middle of a digital dark age.
I don't know about policy consequences, but one political hurdle is that this would be attacked as "welfare for the rich" or something along those lines, since new construction is generally more expensive than existing units.
Yet another example for the large segment of people who I encounter who think that "profit" and "capitalism" are the only reasons there's environmental damage, and the only way to stop environmental damage is to eliminate profit and capitalism.
Ya got me. In my defense, its not the only book on Asia I've read
I wish shattered pixel dungeon (or any mobile RPG) would integrate this! It's so rich, I love it.
Many racists don't identify as racist.
My first thought was how much did Apple (and others) shell out to lobbyists for this to happen ... (There have been rumours that Apple wanted to get into this market - high end hearing aids already come with bluetooth and mic but are quite expensive. Even if Apple charged half of that , they would make a huge profit ... not to mention all the health and other data mining they will be able to do with it).
> You have as much control over your death date as you did over your birth date.

This is absolutely wrong. Maybe ages ago, but certainly not today. We have a lot of control over factors contributing to all-cause mortality and the avoidance of deadly accidents. Avoiding tobacco products, regular exercise, reasonable diet, and possibly strength training all reduce all-cause mortality significantly.

> people that take care of themselves the most still die early from some random cancer.

Please show me any research that shows that health-conscience individuals disproportionately die early from cancer.
The actual download is never a problem for me. It maxes out my downstream every time.

The install itself always takes 20 to 30 minutes or so.

My anecdata disagrees. I've had the Ubuntu installer crash around 2 years ago.

(The Ubuntu installation that I eventually achieved didn't fare much better, btw. Meanwhile, Manjaro or Arch haven't crashed on me in years.)

Not sure if you can punch in a custom audiogram, but there are apps (like Apple’s built-in one or Mimi) that will generate one for you.
I recently got a Studio Display and its updates seem relatively fast (at least compared to the Mac itself!)
The might be okay at low level of hearing loss but at higher levels, the noise cancelling/selection tech is still lacking compared to what a human mind can do. Its still difficult in a crowded store trying to focus on what the cashier is saying among others chatting, background music, etc. Typically hearing aids have two mics on each hearing aid so they can focus on the front or omni directional but the intelligent switching is not that good.
I liked the article, I wish there were more of these. I've always wondered "who" are the developers who contribute to the open-source projects that I use without much hassle? Why do they do it? How does their life look like? And most importantly, are they OK?
lol wow we had hp 4000n printers in my high school in the late 90s and they were amazing.

Glad to see they lasted so long for you. Not surprised.

I wish I could buy them today.
> I feel like a broken record mentioning that Costco sells high quality hearing aids for $700 each.

Are you expecting people to read this and think $700 sounds impressively affordable?
> This is all the same whataboutism propogandists use to undermine normal democratic elections.

Yup.

Bush v Gore and then Bush v Kerry motivated me to become an election integrity activist. Along with some chicanery in my own state. My friends proved, in court, that Kerry actually won New Mexico (the machines didn't record spanish language ballots), and compelled them to dump the DREs and switch to paper ballots. I also knew people in Ohio, NC, Georgian, Kentucky who uncovered similar problems. But those state's laws didn't permit challenges, or the records (evidence) was destroyed, often illegally.

It's with deep chagrin that all of our findings and talking points have since been weaponized by a cult hell bent on ending our democracy. Sometimes I even wonder if my friend Bev Harris (Black Box Voting) demonstrating how to hack Diebold live on TV was a mistake.

> In the US they literally pay hundreds of election workers to hand count paper receipts in the event of a recount. This is what happened in Arizona in the US.

Ok. I just wasted 30 min quickly figuring out how Arizona currently votes. https://azsos.gov/sites/default/files/2022_Election_Cycle_Vo...

Paper ballots. Optical scanners for poll sites. Image scanners for central count. Ballot marking devices for accessibility.

No VVPAT.

No receipts.

Whatever you think about Arizona's 2020 recount circus, the end result was greater confidence in the outcome (for the reality based community). Only because Arizona uses paper ballots.
the necessity to see explains the position of the eyes but not necessarily of the brain. After all, you'd see just as well if your brain was in your stomach as long as it's connected to your eyes.

duration for the signal to travel is one explanation, but not a great one because nerves are fast. (a lot of nerves take weird detours, the visual cortex itself is located at the back of the head). More mundane explanation is heat dissipation. The brain consumes a lot of energy and emits a lot of heat. Would be pretty hard to get rid of it anywhere else.
I've owned a Tesla for nearly 3 years and I love the touch screen and the lack of dashboard buttons. From a purely design point of view, buttons/switches/dials, IMO, really make a dashboard look like an ugly mess. I get the heebie jeebies whenever I drive my wife's older Honda. As others have pointed out just about everything can be done through the steering wheel buttons and/or voice control.

I'm wondering about the test though. "the drivers had time to get to know the cars and their infotainment systems before the test started". They tested 12 cars, how many testers? How long did they really take to get to know the system? I know for me, when I'm driving a new car I feel like I just stepped into the pilot seat of a plane. It takes me several days to get comfortable with any car. In addition, they only performed 4 tests which could have easily been memorized prior to driving. One test being "Reset the trip computer" give me a break, who does that and while driving??

Does safety improve as length of ownership increases? Does age make a difference? Do people who grew up with touchscreens fare better than those who didn't?
Agree with ductless A/C, we are in a 100 year old house with radiator heating and the ductless A/C cools two floors admirably.

Regulated market participants went from zero to 3000MW/12000MWh of capacity in only 2 years. That's 100x faster than powerwall installations. I don't see how you can conclude from these facts that CAISO or the CPUC are stuck in the mud.
But fraud-wise Zelle doesn't seem as protective as regular banks:

https://www.nytimes.com/2022/03/06/business/payments-fraud-z...

> “It’s like the banks have colluded with the sleazebags on the street to be able to steal,” said Bruce Barth, another victim. In late 2020, Mr. Barth was hospitalized with Covid-19 and his phone disappeared from his hospital room. A thief got access to his digital wallet and ran up charges on his credit card, took out cash at an A.T.M. and used Zelle to make three transfers totaling $2,500.

> All three accounts were at Bank of America, where Mr. Barth has been a customer for more than 30 years. When he filed fraud reports, the bank quickly refunded his cash and credit card losses. But it denied his claims for the Zelle thefts, saying the transactions were validated by authentication codes sent to a phone that had been previously used for that account. Bank of America was essentially saying that the Zelle transactions were authorized — even if his phone was stolen.
The ban on Kinder Eggs is depressing. I can't even argue at this point that we aren't so dumb that we'd confuse a plastic toy for food. If the ban were lifted, I'm sure many stupid children and adults really would die or require medical attention.
You might try earplugs. There are nice sets that are made for concerts that preserve the tone, they just reduce the volume (and background noise). Even regular foam ones work pretty well. You can still hear people close to you, as they mainly take care of the background noise.

What language code is written in has little to do with how "flexible" it is. Or what did you mean? Refactorable? Readable? I don't immediately see what the choice of Python specifically has over other languages.
A friend had his laptop and bag stolen from only a few feet behind him at a coffee shop. He had his back to the table he was using for only a minute or two as he placed an order from the counter. There were a few other people in the shop and no one remembers seeing anything.

AirPods Pro can do that:

Microsoft is not investing in the Universal Windows Platform (UWP) anymore and is slowly migrating developers off the platform [1]. Given this project was designed for the aforementioned UWP and that Microsoft's cross-platform story now revolves .NET multi-platform App UI (.NET MAUI [2])--which targets macOS and iOS--I think we can reasonably conclude this bridge project is dead.

No I agree on the it's not good that APNS is an exception. I suspect that it's something technical like in order to receive push data in low power states, since the kernel isn't awake, userspace VPN is not involved. In an ideal world you'd be able to choose whether you wanted to spend a little extra battery to bump into a higher power state so that this information didn't leak.
If you only used your Powerwall for this program, and kept a 100% reserve otherwise, you would make $75,600 burning through the 37.8 MWh of throughput ($2 per kWh). That's a good deal more than the system cost, so to the extent that your system may wear out quicker, you are definitely being compensated more than enough to replace it when the time comes.

I recognize that doesn't address the situation where Tesla refuses to maintain the battery under warranty if you use more than 1 discharge cycle per day, but if the discharge is due to participation in a Tesla-involved program, that would be pretty poor optics for Tesla.
From NPR:

Congress passed that proposal at the time, but the Trump administration FDA didn't issue the rules that would actually allow for those devices to be sold directly to consumers. It's being implemented now because of the July 2021 "Executive Order on Promoting Competition in the American Economy," in which Biden called on the FDA to take action on over-the-counter hearing aids within 120 days (among a variety of other provisions).

I remember getting caller ID in the late 80's, early 90's. I ported my landline to VOIP several years back and still keep it for "legacy" reasons (my parents and a couple other relatives still call me on it.) All the other calls are either spammers or scammers.
> The shop owner and the police didn't cooperate.

It sounds like they did cooperate, given that you know what was on the security footage? What else could they have done?

This is legit awesome. Completely useless and impractical, yet mesmerizing and just plain fun.
Not transparency mode - live listen.
While this anecdote portrays tracking in a positive light let’s not forget the abuses that can occur.

The real problem is that police have given up on fighting crime. The public outrage against the police hasn’t helped.

When it comes to collecting taxes, however, there seems to be no problem with enforcement.
The way I think of it is every day I exercise is another day I get to live. I have conditions that while not debilitating now will end up killing me (two obscure conditions that basically guarantee I’ll die of heart attack). Exercise is the best way of putting off death.

Has anyone done the math to determine whether the added wear-and-tear on the battery is negated by the payout?

I wouldn’t want to go from a 7-10 year battery replacement cycle to a 3-5 year battery replacement cycle out of pocket just because “I’m Doin’ My Part for the Grid(TM)”.
Well yeah, "professional audiologists" would love people to believe turning a 2D volume knob is too complicated and dangerous to do alone. Most people don't want to be obsoleted. I use an EQ plugin for Spotify (https://imgur.com/a/NgdTSd1). Something similar, with safety rails for total volume, would be miles better than going in for adjustments for most people.

Real-time feedback and control goes a long way to turn a (potentially embarrassing or shameful) disability into something simple, empowering, and even fun.

When one of the parent comments that spawned this thread talks about transactions clearing faster than it takes to put the phone down after initiating it, it's quite a few orders of magnitude slower.
> One study cited in the book even says that an hour of moderate to vigorous cycling extends an individual’s expected healthy lifetime by more than an hour.

An even better outcome than the headline suggests! Certainly interested in reading that study. Too bad the article is just an advert for a book, and doesn’t link to any research.

I see the analogy. TikTok has streamlined the consumption UI to the point where your control is extremely rudimentary -- you like it or don't. The car makers are doing the same, to some degree -- you follow the 95% use case or you experience pain. I had a rental car last weekend for 4 days. I turned on the radio and didn't like the station. I tried to figure out how to tune a different station and couldn't, so I just turned it off. Perhaps they should switch to a model where they just play me random music and I say "yes" or "no" until they learn how to train me what to like.
I did some digging. A bill was originally introduced by Dem Senator Liz Warren but that one did not move further and instead became a "rider" on another bill known as the "FDA Reauthorization Act of 2017"

Here is the original bill "Over the Counter Hearing Aid Act of 2017" from Liz Warren:

https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/senate-bill/670

The bill "FDA Reauthorization Act of 2017" that become the law:

https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/house-bill/2430

The section for OTC hearing aids says:

"(Sec. 709) The FDA must categorize certain hearing aids as over-the-counter hearing aids and issue regulations regarding those hearing aids. The regulations for over-the-counter hearing aids must: (1) provide reasonable assurances of safety and efficacy; (2) establish output limits and labeling requirements; and (3) describe requirements for the sale of hearing aids in-person, by mail, or online, without a prescription. The FDA must determine whether premarket notification is required for over-the-counter hearing aids to provide reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness.
State and local governments may not establish or continue in effect requirements specifically applicable to hearing products that are not identical to FDA requirements and that restrict or interfere with the servicing or sale of over-the-counter hearing aids.
The FDA must update and finalize its draft guidance on hearing products. The guidance must clarify which products are medical devices."

It doesn't directly say that cost should be reduced but assuming it will go OTC, costs should go down ?

Why does having an AirTag in the bag mean your friend gets his stuff back? This sounds incredibly optimistic.
he's not claiming that he just needs to help it scale up. He's claiming that there are a few key insights missing between today's state of the art and AGI.

I mean, he may be correct about there only being a few more steps required, but I still suspect he's overestimating his own capabilities while underestimating the scope of the problem.

> After having your account, you have to register it using specific types of identifier, for example your mobile phone.

AFAIK, you only have to register if you want to receive payments with a short identifier (like your CPF, which is the Brazilian equivalent of the USA's SSN, or your phone number), and even without registering you can receive them using your full bank account number (the registration exists just to map the identifier to the bank account number); you don't need to register to send payments, having a bank account is enough.
Tangential, but I've been playing around with Clojure lately. I thought my days of actually-using-vim were behind me as I just use the vim plugin in VS Code for my day job but I found that the most mature Clojure VS Code plugin (Calva) doesn't work great with vim keybindings so I decided to see how neovim had progressed (hadn't looked at it in a few years).

I ended up getting setup really easily with Conjure[1]. It's a neovim plugin written in Fennel[2], a Lisp dialect that compiles to Lua. I'm writing my whole neovim configuration in lisp. It sounds like the setup to some emacs vs vim joke but it's actually pretty cool!

They can track it to an address. Usually the police are "no help" because 6 seconds of 180p black and white security camera footage is very little to go on.

If you can tell them that your airtag is inside 45 Elm Rd., they can knock on the door.
US doesn't go around bombing and invading every nation it wants to control either. Greyzone ops, color revolutions etc. There are many ways in which China could achieve its goals without a full fledged war.

I'm not a developer but I totally relate to this. Most of my creative pursuits are weird, niche, sometimes avant-garde. If I didn't make my artifacts, nobody else would, and it is so intrinsically rewarding to see my visions instantiated, even if they pale in comparison to my first imagining of what they might be. Because I have fringe-y interests, most people don't necessarily "get" it. (Probably true of everyone else on HN as well.) But the people who do get it, I found them on the internet, and I thank God for that.
One almost certainly won't have the opportunity to get $2/kWh for a full 37.8 MWh though, and my question is more about the warranty being voided if the battery is used outside of Tesla's original designation. Let's say you do a full discharge 100 times over the course of the battery outside of normal day to day use - would they still cover you if your battery broke?

I agree it would be poor optics, but it's still a question to ask for those thinking of participating in the program.
The implementation of such a system doesn't even need to send energy back to the grid at all - simply by having your batteries kick in to power your own load when they would otherwise maintain a reserve you are in effect providing power to the grid (that you would otherwise be drawing). The power is coming from literally inside your house, reducing the amount of energy that must be transmitted to your house from the grid.
