Twitter are so hostile to casual anonymous browsing via the web that I'm not surprised DDG aren't indexing them, and actually prefer that. It's like Twitter are actively choosing to not be part of the web.

But yes, I do use !g when needed to jump to Google. It's just the default that works better on DDG for me due to the Incognito window issue - so much so that I've been running DDG by default for quite a long time now, just for that reason.

> it’s not something you master overnight. I’m not ashamed to mention that it took me a few sessions in a parking lot to get the fundamentals down

This kind of line always confuses me. I mean, I remember my first driving lesson in the UK. Guy arrived in a BMW 116, manual. He said to me: what is there to explain, you get in and drive. So I got in and drove. Did my first hour, took 5 minutes to get comfortable with the clutch and shifting. Why do the people in the US make it such a big ordeal? Is it like a badge of honour?

>What makes you think the current broken legislative system has a chance at a reform that makes things better in a way that you'd like

That's a false premise.
Yes I did not mention DNS or BGP but I could have. I do not agree about IRC because networks are not connected together, yes it is not stricly the protocol fault.

I do agree with matrix, but it still has a lot to improve before I would consider it working. I tried multiple time to get non technical users on it but it is too hard for them. And it is not a client problem but more an account problem.
> An iron lung is a type of negative pressure ventilator (NPV), a mechanical respirator which encloses most of a person's body, and varies the air pressure in the enclosed space, to stimulate breathing.

Holy crap that sounds uncomfortable, I already hate the few mbar pressure difference between ground level and 6th floor, let alone doing that 30 times a minute (resting breathing rate: 12-15 breaths/minute -> switching from breathing in, to breathing out, means 2 pressure changes per breath). Surely there are more comfortable solutions to operating one's chest, something like shaving and a (number of) large suction cup(s) to operate the chest, perhaps aided by weak glue around the edges?

Edit: "in which a person is laid, with their head protruding from a hole in the end of the cylinder" whew. Does make me wonder how to prevent hyperventilation (too high a rate) while providing enough oxygen at all times (like during stress or other exertion, resting rate may not be enough).

> Positive pressure ventilation systems are now more common than negative pressure systems. Positive pressure ventilators work by blowing air into the patient's lungs via intubation through the airway [...] [this has] the advantage of not restricting patients' movements or caregivers' ability to examine the patients

Doesn't sound that much better, as I've heard that intubation is its own kind of hell. (On intubation, Wikipedia just mentions "Patients are generally anesthetized beforehand.")
So glad this homework shit hasn't spread to infosec.

You are completely right, but...

I'd suggest that forums like this are good at being specific about terminology, and rigorous about its application.

In other words you, and others, may have used Open Source incorrectly in the past, and may learn from this thread so you don't I the future.

Perhaps your analogy would better apply to Open Source versus Free Software. That's more akin to octopus and squid. Open Source to commercial is more like talking about tentacles when describing a whale.
I don't know how I never thought of this before... it's scary
If I could afford a Porsche I would still get a manual option. Changing gears cleanly, heel-toe blipping the throttle when gearing down, getting the right gear at the right time - simple pleasures. It seems the more refined cars become the less character they have. Even the equivalent cars to my old dependable friend feel like lesser cars. Annoy CVTs, electric power steering, and finishes that feel cheap. And windows - I have nice big windows where I can see everywhere.
> My point is there is no reason to reduce energy usage. There is reason to reduce "dirty" energy usage

Reducing energy usage is almost exactly the same thing as reducing dirty energy usage.

This is because if there is X less total energy required, that means we can shutdown the X worst energy producing sources.

No. Traffic is supposed to flow. A vehicle that's moving too slowly is an obstacle on the road. There is such a thing as a minimum speed and cyclists violate that every single day.
What if the variable is used for array indexing and something else, like displayed to the user?
No. Due to the slope, cyclists have a fair amount of speed, and in anticipation of my right hand turn, I would not pass them anyway.

I’ve used both DALL-E and stable diffusion extensively, and in my experience DALL-E is more forgiving while stable diffusion is more powerful — with a much higher skill ceiling for writing prompts.

Also, stable diffusion’s open source weights are great for self-hosting which can’t be done with DALL-E.

> Apple and customer are free to set the terms of their relationship without your input.

Thats not true. We can make laws that force Apple to support the right to repair, and force them to open that market up to the free market.

Which is what is happening here. It is because of legislative pressure that Apple is now engaging in some actions, to allow users to have access to the free market of device repairing.

As in, we are literally commenting, on a thread, about how Apple is now being moved in this direction.

> The only mechanism allowed in our social system

No, we can force Apple to allow the free market into their device, with laws, and take away they money via fines, if they refuse.

Which is what is happening.

> Currently the free market you envision is not the status quo.

Actually, with many of the upcoming laws, the status quo is about to change, so that Apple is forced to allow the free market into many of their markets. The one that is most obvious is the App Store Market, which they are being forced, under legal threat, to open up on.

But, also, the other market is the right to repair market. I can't remember the exact laws that are going to force Apple to support more repair options, but I am pretty sure that they exist and are coming into effect soon.

This was my experience when I had a gigabit connection. I could download games from steam as fast as my ssd would write it.

The counter argument being that without it being a commodity, we don't know what might be invented if it were. We could miss out on, or delay lots of really amazing innovations.

The narrative that "if it sells it means people want it" has been used for a long time (e.g. cigarettes). Of course, that simplistic take ignores the (1) role that advertising plays in manufacturing those desires in the first place, and (2) the fact that consumers often don't have a choice.

Relating to (2): everyone I know complains about the state of modern Web (from my tech friends to my mum) one way or the other. They simply have no choice because, as mentioned several times in these comments, even tech people have an incredibly hard time extricating themselves from dark patterns and SEO-hell search results and surveillance and AI-generated listicles... let alone regular people!

I guess it depends on the car you started in and how easy it is to stall. My Jeep Cherokee with an inline 6 would have been an incredibly easy car to learn on, but my RX-8 - with about the same amount of low-end torque as a sewing machine - was much less forgiving. If it had been my first manual car, it would have taken ages to feel comfortable.

And to your question, the answer is actually yes. Because fewer folks in the US drive manual cars, the ones that do are often proud of having the skill.

Hey - you both broke the site guidelines quite badly in this thread - can you please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and try harder to use HN in the intended spirit?

From my perspective, this looks like an unfortunate misunderstanding - you both have good things to say, and somehow got caught in a snag. This is all too easy to do on the internet.

The cure is to be 10x more generous in your interpretation of the other person. People come from very different backgrounds and are therefore working with very different mental models, concepts, data, and so on. Differences in perspective too easily turn into judgments and even condemnations of the other person and that's what we're trying to avoid here, so we can keep having curious conversation with each other.

Ok yeah I get all your points.

On the topic of Gasparian’s “blobs” the whole point of FXhash is that it’s a generative market - the actual artwork is code, and it generates the blobs according to some rules + some randomness function that’s part of the code - some “blobs” are rarer, some are more common. He’s made them into a limited edition of 200, so there are some rarer than others. But the artwork is not “blobs” but the result of generative code that outputs a result every time you mint an NFT. For generative artists, it’s sort of a way new avenue to explore. I find it really interesting.

This is Gasparian’s work but there are a lot of really interesting examples - generative cityscapes, canyons. I like Gasparian’s work so I bought as many “blobs” as I could. It didn’t cost me much, and yes I think he deserves the money and recognition. I find his work beautiful.

Outside of that I can’t say much!
> I’ve owned two manual transmission cars… an old Hyundai Elantra and an even older Toyota pickup.

Well, that explains. You haven’t had a fun manual car. I loved my e36 325. Porsche 964 was nice, too.
Sure, there's plenty of uncertainty. But there are also far more casualties of 9/11 than the immediate ones. Tons of people got cancer and died, or were seriously disabled, etc. Drone strikes had some similar collateral damage too, I imagine, but certainly not on the scale of 9/11.
This article has power vs torque curves for an ICE and electric motor:

http://thecartech.com/subjects/auto_eng/Auto_Eng23.htm

The EV curve is not exactly flat, so it's worth it for Formula E to bother with a transmission. For consumer cars the extra tiny efficiency boost doesn't matter.

No idea what the text of the article says, but based on the figures, it goes into more detail than me.

> What are your standards for a good study, then?

Prospective. For example, they decide in advance to test Ts for a randomly-selected group of men.

This study reads as basically "We queried our healthcare system database and made up the rules as we went along."

For example:

* How did they choose the date ranges 1/2006 through 3/2019?

* How did they decide to divide the dates into four ranges of 4, 3, 3, and 4 years each?

* Why did they include "only the first blood sample taken from each patient"?

* Why were there 38,701 subjects with an age measurement but only 22,169 that recorded a BMI in 2016-9?

* Why did the number of subjects double over the course of the study period? Did more patients enter the healthcare system? Did they, say, open new treatment facilities to attract different clientele?

I mean, it's not worthless, it can be useful to put the data out there for meta-analysis. But on its own it should not be used to draw a conclusion.

And so on.

> You understand that this basically makes anything I give you a non-starter as its validity is wholly based on your opinion of it, right?

You're right - it's my opinion and I do lean on my personal experience when considering others' arguments.

> it's objective reality (whether you like that reality or not is irrelevant).

Some of the data may reflect objective reality, but many of your conclusions do not.

> Empirically, the problems you encounter today are in far greater numbers than they were in the past

Yes, but this statement has been true my entire life. Everyone agrees our world gets more populous and more challenging almost every year.

The statement may be true, but so broad that it conveys little meaning.

> and those problems all track with decisions made in government (either directly or indirectly).

This conclusion is not well supported.

Try to describe how you have considered and rejected other possible explanations for the observed phenomena.

> Frankly, just based on your initial response to me, I don't think a conversation would be terribly productive for either of us.

Go back and read what you wrote again. You mention 'politics' and/or 'government' in every post. You cannot even discuss whether or not a hormone level is declining without fitting it within your ideological framework.

Maybe American millennials. When I did my test in the UK manuals were most cars. You can do your test in an automatic but if you do, you can only drive automatics legally. Which can cause some problems especially if you want to hire a car.

Almost all the millennials my age can drive and and a good percentage probably own a manual. Automatics are gaining ground in the UK but they're still typically more expensive. I suspect 17 year olds are still learning to drive manuals in the UK right now.

100 Twitter followers in 3 days, starting from 0
Okay, I am pretty proud of this!

A few days ago I posted how hard it is to start from 0 on Twitter. It was a rough start because immediately after I started the account and started posting, I got shadow banned. However, I continued posting and DMing people, and presumably after a manual review, my account got unbanned.

How did I do it?

I searched for people in my field of interest (QA, automation), searched and interacted with their top tweets, and then send a friendly message saying how much I like their content and offering to help if they ever need help scaling their test automation infra.

Long way to go, but I am excited that I am no longer at 0!
The real issue isn't the demise of manual transmissions. It's the upcoming demise of transmissions entirely as electrification continues it's march towards ubiquity.
You cannot easily transform tokens to AUD, without engaging the use of a bank in meatspace, which has to do AML (Anti Money Laundering) and KYC (Know Your Customer) 100 points checks on ID using government issued documents. So, do not believe your TFN (Tax File Number) cannot be shown to have engaged in token transactions: the final step to realise AUD state in your bank accounts, emits a flag that it came from tokens and so the ATO (Australian Tax Office) can and will audit the trades which lie behind that.

Also: Every trade represents a potentially taxable event, because they realize profits and losses which are subject to capital gains tax. This is no different to share trading or forex (foreign exchange) transactions.

(not a tax expert. know a forensic accountant who tells me they love tokens, because they are so delightfully easy to use for activity tracing in crime)
