I could talk to each of these points, but at the end of the day, you're agreeing with me: As much as people complain about it, they prefer dealers, or options even more expensive than dealers (e.g. CarMax) even if for very poor reasons.

All the problems you list are not difficult to overcome when it comes to private party. People do not want to overcome it - they would rather pay a few thousand dollars more.

Hi! My name is Jeff. I am a senior studying computer science at the University of Arizona. I just completed an internship this summer at Snap Inc. where I contributed to a back-end commerce team using Java, gRPC, Kubernetes and Service Mesh. I am looking for full time positions starting in May 2023.

As long as most of America remains car dependent and pedestrian-hostile, parents will be afraid of letting their kids out of the house. Unfortunately, that's rarely acknowledged as the problem (even in this article)
It's not necessarily the algorithm that matters. There are a few different algorithms you can follow for division and a few ways you can accurately represent the results. For example, kids these day commonly learn something called the "lattice method" for multiplication. It's a different algorithm from what I learned, but that doesn't necessarily matter.

The point is not for students to learn how to follow an algorithm (or master doing it quickly), but that they learn why the algorithm works and how to interpret the result.

Earlier this year, Hyundai Motor Company sent a letter to its dealerships urging them to end deceptive practices, such as advertising a low price online and then charging a much higher price when customers go into the store.

Spot | 3D Framework Engineer | Seattle, WA (US-remote encouraged) | spotvirtual.com

Help build your ideal remote working experience and join our mission to make online interactions more meaningful. At Spot, we are building team chat 2.0: a streamlined work experience inside the browser that combines the efficiencies and utility of tools like slack and zoom with the cultural and human elements of a spatial experience. If you are interested in game dev, this is probably the closest thing that comes with a web dev salary. Our team is small, but experienced, and this would be a ground-level role that would provide an opportunity to help shape the technology and company in a really foundational way. Our founders are experienced and most recently founded a Seattle startup that has achieved unicorn status and we have raised a seed round from top-tier investors.

The current stack is Typescript, Babylon.js, React, Apollo/GraphQL, and Nest.js. Everything is built on top of AWS using modern tooling and automation (e.g. pushing a commit will trigger a deployment). We are looking for someone who loves to build frameworks. We currently have a custom framework built on top of Babylon.js and we are looking for someone to help evolve this as well as plan for the future to push the limits of what is possible on the web. This position will be remote, but the ideal candidate will be one who enjoys/misses many aspects of a physical workplace.

Nothing will change until the culture itself changes. In my American city, there are plenty of healthy eating options, both at the grocer (a bundle of bananas for $1.50) and dining out (lots of salad places, meatless places, etc).

Fact is, Americans want giant portions, a dessert, endless refills of Cola, and so on. You can get apple slices at some places instead of fries -- I've never seen anyone other than myself get them.
Costco seems to have suspended their car buying program. I tried to use it a few months ago and couldn’t even get started. Probably no dealers near me are even participating in the program in such a seller’s market.
I believe that the most important means of eating healthier is to cook at home the food from raw ingredients, instead of buying industrially-produced food.

Only this gives complete control over the content of the food. Whenever food is made to be sold for profit instead of being made for personal consumption, there are too strong incentives for continuously searching for ways of replacing more expensive components with cheaper but unhealthier components, while adding scents, colorants and other supposedly inert additives, to mask the true composition of the food.

Many people have become reluctant to cook at home like their parents or grandparents because they believe that cooking requires too much time.

Nevertheless, the cooking techniques can be modernized to take less time without significantly altering the traditional recipes. For example many traditional methods for boiling or steaming vegetables, for cooking meat and even for baking bread can be replaced with doing them in a microwave oven in a much shorter time.

No, the white star is the measured location of the system's star, which has been subtracted from the image. The yellow-orange blob of ~16 pixels below and to the left of the star is the super-Jovian expolanet. There are more images in the source paper with different spectral filters, the caption on figure 8 describes the star:

https://i.imgur.com/KlgEVze.png

Take a look at this sequence:

https://i.imgur.com/STcNkIP.png

They started with the image at left, which represents a combination of both the planet and the star. Clearly, the star is so much brighter than the reflection of starlight off the planet that it blows out the whole image. But the star is pretty consistent, and definitely circular, so they could take a reference image and a rotated image and erase all the pixels that look like they expect the star to look. The difference between a normal star and the image they actually took is the planet-shaped hole left after subtracting one from the other.
In the UK, you have 28 days to change your mind and arrange your own financing. So for informed buyers, a common tactic is to agree to whatever shitty high interest loan they're selling to keep the sticker price down, then just call the loan company and cancel and pay it off with cash from the loan/savings you actually want to use.
Tolerance is not acceptance. To tolerate, is to allow something that you do not like. While tolerance is needed, what's really needed is truth and acceptance. I'd rather have someone tell me they don't like me and what for than to be merely tolerated while simultaneously treated like a second rate citizen or talked down upon by simply being just "tolerated." Anyway, I know it's a bit tangent-like here, but tolerance is really not acceptance but to allow something begrudgingly, and so it shouldn't be used as the positive side to intolerance. Not directly replying to you but the entire chain.

Otherwise on topic, I see and feel the chilling effects on speech from those big platforms being discussed across America as well. I do not see any of it coming from the US government, though. I see it all coming from citizens wishing to control others' speech all around them, else they will whip out a phone and think they're some sort of vigilante over others' speech or wrongthink. This is tiresome and old already but I'm not comparing this to government level, authoritarian free speech removal. Still, it's having a mass effect on societal attitude, conversation, politeness, and all else, as far as I can tell.
I feel like we are using this word, intolerant, without an agreed upon definition. We are trying to measure something but we have no metric for it.

To answer your question, we need a way to measure the level of intolerance, whatever this is.

Should we measure the laws in effect? Should we measure the number of tolerable behaviours? Should we weigh these behaviours in our metric? How do we deal with behaviours that are nominally considered immoral but in practice are accepted? How do we deal with regional differences?

I don’t know the answer to your question.

Inflation is not the result of profits, gouging, etc. It's the result of funding the deficit by running the printing press. (Or the modern equivalent, creating debt backed by nothing.)

The proof is the observation that endemic inflation only happens in countries with fiat money systems.

Full-stack web developer. I have a degree in computer science and have been working professionally since 2007, and building web sites just as a hobby since 1995. I love the web.

Back end experience includes primarily PHP development with MySQL/MariaDB or SQLite databases, primarily Nginx as the server, and Linux (primarily Ubuntu) or BSD (primarily OpenBSD, also FreeBSD) as the OS. I don't consider myself a seasoned sysadmin but I can get a server up and running from bare metal. PHP frameworks include Drupal, CodeIgniter, WordPress, and vanilla.

Front end experience includes theme/template development with vanilla HTML5/CSS3, sometimes with Bootstrap, and vanilla JS or jQuery. I've done some pretty absurd things with the Leaflet mapping library. I think I'm stronger as a back-end developer, though.

> We have three kids and you would not believe the number of times I've had to drop everything to take one or other of them to the doctor and/or the hospital.

This would cost most families (without gold plated healthcare subsidies from being a government employee or other generous employer in the US) $10k to ~$17.5k per year, and those ranges go up every year.

A single doctor visit is usually $200 to $300, and emergency room visit might as well be your annual out of pocket maximum ($10k to $17k).

I grew up before out of pocket maximums were a thing, and I remember my dad distinctly telling me to be careful not to injure myself because it could derail the whole family’s future. This was because my parents were immigrants who were building a small business, so they had equity to lose, but not enough cash flow to purchase healthcare. I also thought about impacts to my sister’s future, who is 6 years younger.

I never did participate in sports and never needed to go to the doctor or dentist.

Today, I earn enough to not have to worry about healthcare expenses, but I would not have had kids if I did not have the ability to pay for two calendar years’ worth of out of pocket expenses (~$34k, in case injury occurs on Dec 31).

Yet another post hating on Fuller without understanding his work or ideas. I would like to quote what I posted two weeks ago about this:

> I think there is a lot of desire to 'cancel' historical tech visionaries like Fuller nowadays, because we are all burned out, depressed, and disengaged- feeling that our efforts have no real effect, and are pointless. It's easier to say people like Fuller didn't really do much, than to admit that we are capable of so much more.

> Instead of thinking of him as a con-artist and self promoter, realize that his actions also fit someone that - well into his late 80s, still felt the joy, open mindedness, and limitless possibilities that young kids feel, and is usually burned out of us. He was so excited about what was possible!

> 1. "banning foreign ownership" would result in Portugalexit at best, perhaps a Zairization of Portugal, or even worse - no thanks.

What? This makes no sense. You basically leave out a large chunk of the induced demand. There you have your prices lowering.
I hope the example of Tesla's successful direct sales model, and Ford and GM's current frustration with dealers marking up popular EVs, will result in the large auto companies lobbying to remove the protectionist laws that force the dealership model on consumers.
There's really no incentive for Google or Yelp to do this, though. Clearly plenty of people still post reviews (positive and negative), and businesses do get value out of it (though certainly all businesses are not happy with the forced relationship). So all Google and Yelp would be getting out of it is cost and headaches. It doesn't really matter to them if a business and customer get into a legal fight; the most they might have to do is follow a court order to take down a review or something, which is no big deal.

Also consider that many business don't exactly consent to be listed on Yelp or Google, and have no business relationship with Yelp or Google (many do, but not all). So there'd be nothing for the business owner to agree to, and they'd be free to sue a reviewer, regardless of whatever agreement Yelp or Google have dreamed up.
Postgres FDW [1] seems to me to be a crazy cool (i.e. unexpected and good) feature of Postgres, but I haven't seen much chatter about it on HN in the rdbms stories.

Has anyone here used it? What is/was your experience like?

I live fairly close to the cluster of car dealerships in my area so maybe my perception is skewed, but it doesn't seem crazy to me that 2 sales guys from the Honda dealer would drive 5 minutes to my house to drop off an Accord (and then go back in 1 car), 2 sales guys from the Toyota dealer would drive 5 minutes to my house to drop off a Camry, etc... Seems like they're constantly making little trips to pick up cars from satellite lots, drop off cars for maintenance, fuel up cars, etc.

This might only work for dealerships within a certain distance of course.

But right, the part about doing it profitably would probably require a dealership that gets a successful sales lead to pay a fee to such a service.

Yes, the difference absolutely does not matter. Most people who own cars have experienced a big exogenous shock in operating costs due to fuel recently, that would have more than wiped out the average advantage from negotiating. Furthermore, the unforeseeable supply shortage greatly benefited existing car owners, again much more than any reasonable amount of haggling could have done. And other exogenous factors such as housing costs will have been far more important to the lives of car purchasers than the nominal prices of cars. I mean, have you ever tried to buy a house? That shit is crazy.

The one and only way to save money on cars is to not buy them. The true cost of car ownership is massively, woefully underestimated by virtually all drivers. 1% or 2% difference on the nominal purchase price amounts to nothing in the big picture.

I don't know where the idea of nuclear being cheap comes from. Yes, the fuel is miniscule and relatively cheap, but all it does is get far hotter than any type of coal or gas boiler would. You still need a heat engine on the higher tech end of material science to turn that heat into usable energy. And that's not even taking into account the oversized cooling system to cover the difference between the dynamic grid load and a reactor who's throttle response time is measured in days.

That doesn't mean nuclear is a bad thing, especially when you consider the externalities and production costs of other systems. It's just not a miracle electricity device. Personally I'm looking forward to the point people realize you don't totally need the whole "electric generator" aspect of nuclear and start direct connecting it to things that need heat, like desalination
I'd like to think Ukrainan hackers were behind this.
Honest question for renewables advocates:

Where would you rank US-west in terms of "industrialised places where its easiest to phase out fossils or nuclear for renewables"?

Because for my money, it may be the best-suited place in the world.

- Lowish latitude, so winter nights are never that long, and usage peaks are in summer;
- Fair amount of land - even in CA, especially if we cheat a bit and assume NV is playing ball;
- Lots of money.

And even there, nuclear or gas are still necessary. Maybe Australia beats it.

I can say this, Europe - including the UK - has over the last two decades made the worst energy decisions, probably ever. Winter peaking with 16 hour nights, and last year we had week-long periods with generation of, to all intents and purposes, zero useful power from wind during that period. For what its worth, this year Germany restarted 8 GW of coal, and I'm sorry but no other country in the world should be listening to European lectures on climate ever again after that. Wholesale costs have exceeded $500 per MWh, they briefly peaked in London at $9000, and the same amount of battery storage costs $100,000. I have talked to investors on the latter figure and none expect that figure to decrease significantly. Raw materials will not humour your optimism.

Pardon me, what the actual fuck are we supposed to do?

The ongoing ability to never name anything consistently or well has to be a sick inside joke at USB-IF. This isn't entirely new. USB 3.1 Gen 2, which latter became USB 3.2 2x1, is sort of similar-ish in pattern. They're iterating & trying something new again! But I'm imagining saying something like "USB 3.2 2.0". We seem about there. Yeah that don't seem great.

Anyhow, super excited for this change. I love love love that home networking is futzing around with 2.5Gbps, but USB4+ has direct host-to-host attach at data-center speeds. The distance is way less but often people just want to plug their laptop into their NAS, and now there's amazing options built in on most computers (waiting for more NAS applicances!).
