That is really nice. The last time I attempted scraping an app was using an android emulator (bluestacks), then using maybe Wireshark or Charles for getting the API endpoint. It didn't work for some reason though. I don't remember the exact error

> NASA's SLS, how much of that is a job program in part to prevent hoards of talented folks building rockets for competing nations

Zero. Because NASA has no problem if those engineers would work for other nation as long as it isn't Russia or North Korea and co. And that wouldn't happen anyway.

Those people would likely work in one of the huge amount of space startups or just go to the typical ULA, BlueOrigin, SpaceX and so on.

You make the totally wrong assumption that SLS has anything to do with rational thought. It really doesn't.

It's not like everyone who drives an EV recharges their full battery capacity every day. And besides, home charges are typically level-2 charging from a 220V outlet, and they charge overnight. DC fast charging in homes basically doesn't exist, because the expense of the electrical service you'd need to do that doesn't make sense unless you're putting the fast charger somewhere where it will be heavily used.

Grid upgrades are a thing that's going to have to happen, but I think the concern is kind of overblown. It's not like everyone is going to switch to EVs at the same time, and over the course of a decade or two the utilities can use the increased revenue they're collecting to upgrade their infrastructure as needed.

We're going to need more electricity production to offset the increased demand. Some of that might be offset by residential solar.

As both a cyclist and pedestrian, I definitely prefer bikes off the sidewalk. Even conscientious cyclists who call “on your left” or whatever routinely underestimate the necessary reaction time and overestimate how far their voice will carry. Even if they get both of those right, they’ve frequently terrified my pup by just being faster and louder and larger than anything on foot she’s ever met. I’ve had to return home and restart our entire morning/evening because of this countless times.

I don’t feel as strongly about separated bike infrastructure, mainly because my experience with it is that it’s more dangerous than riding in auto lanes, and that it creates an illusion of separation that both heightens that danger and heightens the dangerous attitudes of drivers trying to navigate it. I’m sure it’s better where the infrastructure is better, but where I live I choose to ride my bike away from those accommodations and right in traffic with the cars and drivers who flow together with me.
The next time I see a farmer I'll pass along that it is "fine" that he continue growing the food people eat. He will appreciate having permission so to do.

How do these exactly affect a software developer? Even if the company is going to grow 100x, you can still be laid off and it's highly unlikely you're ever going to have any part of the money.

> Well… Many Rust enthusiasts treat it either as a silver bullet or everything else as unholy (unsafe).

I don't think anyone here is saying that, at least in this thread the parent(and myself) were both careful to qualify there might be contexts that it could be useful in. If you see anyone saying that Rust solves every single problem then feel free to call them out for being full of shit :).

I'm not going to be giving my designers a Rust tutorial the same way we did with scripting Lua, you're still going to have a FFI somewhere which will require unsafe and a bit more care. However having had maintained pretty significant codebases in quite a few languages I will say that Rust code is more stable, crashes less and still runs in the same footprints as C++(C gets the codesize edge by having a much smaller stdlib and surface area). It's about knowing where your tools do well and where they have rough edges and a better tool is appropriate.

Having to switch between C, C++ and Rust codebases on a regular basis I think you're underselling the complexity of C++ and overselling how difficult Rust is. C++ has a huge surface area, you have to figure out what subset you want to use(exceptions: y/n?, RTTI: ditto, stdlib or custom containers, etc). Then you get into Rule-of-5, move semantics, template metaprogramming, undefined behaviors(don't use global constructors/destructors). I could easily list 20 years of various ways I've seen C++ explode in spectacular ways(volatile semantics anyone?).

If you want to use C, Zig, or C++ more power to ya. No one is forcing you to use Rust but for those of us who are interested in a language that isn't dragged along with decades of baggage Rust offers a compelling development story and largely delivers on the areas it aims to hit(accessible systems development, memory safety and first-class tooling in my experience).

It's a fun, satisfying hobby. You need to be willing to get your hands dirty with modeling, and be ready to engineer around the limitations of the technology, in order to unlock the potential as a tool for the home.

I print stuff for around the home all the time. It's great to be able to fix toys, closet doors, light fixtures, etc. My most recent print was a bunch of small stilts for a wooden playhouse we're building for our daughter. The playhouse will be on concrete in an uneven low spot, so I designed a piece that will take a 1/4" nut and bolt to allow the structure to be leveled, and keep the wood out of pooled water.

Over the years I've been working on a homemade force feedback steering wheel (for driving games). The gearbox is all 3D printed other than bearings, as well as a faux-wood dashboard. It's as performant as any commercially available force feedback wheel.

A 3D printer isn't going to evolve into some magical star trek replicator, though. It's a device for precisely making plastic objects within a bunch of constraints, or for precisely making resin into objects within other constraints.

>The FTC alleges that the company used claims that consumers were pre-approved and had ’90 per cent odds’ to entice them to apply for offers that, in many instances, they ultimately did not qualify for.

I believe CK has inside views to the models^ these companies use, and I wouldn't be surprised to find that 90% is actually very close to reality. However, I can also see why someone taking a hard credit pull would be very annoyed to be declined.

Also, Credit Karma gets paid for successful conversions, and maybe ad placement? It doesn't seem like misleading someone got them any profit.

This all around seems like a really weird thing to slap this company with - Credit Karma doesn't really directly profit^^ from getting this wrong, nor do their partners. Yes, Credit Karma screwed up, but to frame it as "misleading consumers" makes it sound a lot worse than it is.

I wonder if there is missing subtext or inside baseball that makes this all make a lot more sense. Regardless, that language does seem misleading, and I'm glad to see it be turned into something more accurate and informative.

^ they seem to have some sort of b2b platform ("lightbox"?) for letting their vendors import their models into credit karma. It's probably pretty powerful for a lender to change and simulate new model changes for targeting offers.

I use a Google Home Mini.

Half the reason I originally bought it was to simply be able to turn the light and fan on and off without getting out of bed.

The other half was music. Google Play Music was a godsend for a long time before they killed it. I can't stand Youtube Music and don't pay for other services, so I just don't use voice to listen to music anymore. Actually pretty angry and haven't given Alphabet a single cent since.

I ask it the weather every day. It answers 'when will it rain' with an hour and/or day of the week it might next.

I used to use it for relaxing sounds like rain, but one day they replaced the realistic rain sound with one that sounds to me like generated white noise only somewhat resembling rain, so it kind of annoys me now.

I constantly set alarms and timers for various reasons. Reminders and calendar events also, which sync with google services of course so I get them on my phone.

It can make notes. Any time I think of something in the shower and can't write it down I consider buying another one for the bathroom.

I can ask it where my phone is and it'll make it ring.

General queries are no more or less as good as what searching Google gives you at the top. Still useful when wondering something. I can ask it to define words or look for synonyms when I'm writing, without taking my mind away from the text. Or random stuff like 'what day of the week will September 22nd fall on,' 'how many days until Easter,' etc.

I frequently use it as a calculator. Easier to just speak a lengthy list of numbers than to type them all.

The most important thing about all of this is I don't have to move a muscle, and don't have to avert my eyes from what I'm focused on. Whether I'm passing out in bed, have my hands full while late for an appointment, or working hard at my PC, that's invaluable to me. Maybe not as important to everyone though.

Do I recommend Google's assistant specifically? Not exactly, but I don't like the other options either. Alexa will constantly break my train of thought by advertising what it can do with suggestions and whatnot, which is a main reason I don't use it, but my housemate doesn't mind. Other assistants just don't seem as polished and useful. Google's interoperability with my phone is a big reason I use it.

For $25 just get one for your desk and/or bedroom. There's still a lot of room to grow in this space before there's a better option without privacy concerns.
He has, in a sense. Permanently.

More seriously, if he was emotionally deeply invested in BBBY, having to fire 1 in 5 workers and close 150 stores was probably devastating. I also understand he held a large amount of stock in BBBY which has lost a significant amount of value, and was named as a defendant in a class action suit (something about misleading statements about BBBY's finances, I'm not across the details).

Maybe he was facing the prospect of bankruptcy, or otherwise not being in a position to enjoy retirement?

Rain is definitely a problem for a vehicle which depends on lateral tilt to turn and which depends on inertia to stay upright. Speaking as someone who has ridden many years round in Seattle, where the roads lean along with the hills even where the hills aren’t that steep. Those turns are a mistake or an unexpected cross vehicle away from a crash on our driest days, but the rain really amplifies that danger.

This entire thread is a collection of niche cases. I just bought a gas guzzler because in my part of Wyoming the dealership model is broken for EVs I’d want, and Tesla’s are optically problematic for me to own. But if the unaddressed market are rural Americans and those off grid, market forces making gas distribution expensive will nudge it into equilibrium.

You can already get exactly that kind of vehicle for relatively cheap, though not as cheap as you're proposing... it's called an electric golf cart or, for the upscale versions, an "electrified low-speed vehicle". They start at about $5,000 from US manufacturers, but you can cut that down to around $3,500-$4,000 (including shipping) if you're willing to order off Aliexpress.

If you were getting that loan to buy a house to use as a base of operations for harassing people in the neighborhood, the bank would rightfully deny your application.

You're strangely trying to tie this to someone simply living in a high-crime neighborhood. It's racist to deny a qualified person because the neighborhood is "high-crime" because often neighborhoods are high-crime because they're also over policed (which increases crime stats). In your analogy, the person isn't a known criminal, and isn't more likely to commit crime simply by living in an area that has a higher crime rate.

I tried to operate my own email server as well on a VPS, and I have been thinking that the way to solve these problems is to solve the problem of spam itself. Detecting spam puts the costs on the email providers... when the costs should be born by spammers.

Perhaps some sort of digital stamp (digital signatures similar to stamps on physical envelopes) for each email sent paid for with micropayments in a cryptocurrency like nano (note: I don't own any crypto). Small cost per email like 0.01 cents that is trivial for legitimate senders but not for bulk-sending spammers. SMTP servers should put all incoming unsigned emails into spam folders. This will disincentivize spamming (probably not eliminate it) enough that self-hosting emails might be possible again without having to swim against the tide.
Proprietary compilers, some limitations in the type system meant the standard library wasn't as useful even though it is a safer language as a result. The verbosity also turned me of initially.

Was Spectre as it's understood today ever enunciated though? Not being combative, legitimately looking for papers here because I've read a lot of ones that talk about using side channels to break kernel security [1] and observing that branch predictions are shared (and themselves can be leaked cross context), but never an integrative approach until the Spectre papers dropped. IMO it's one of those things that is so painfully obvious in retrospect but that was a sort of odd blend of works at the time.

Being harmed is also a concern. I don’t own any other products where a software bug or compromised system has quite the same potential to physically harm me.

But underlying that is the fact that there are no networked features that I personally want my car to have. So however small the risks (of both physical harm and being effected by bizarre networked car dark patterns), they are risks that I would be taking exclusively for the benefit of the manufacturer of the product for which I am supposedly the customer. As long as there is an acceptable alternative to such a product, I will always choose the alternative.

My visceral reaction was also anger and opposition. It's questionable if it can be done in a way that's not harmful to the Mississippi watershed and ogallala aquifer. But you're right, the human good it could do would justify much.

The advocacy group NRDC has a much better explanation of the general concept and specific Mississippi/Ogallala proposal: https://www.nrdc.org/sites/default/files/Water-Pipelines-rep...

Two things become clear. The mississippi/ogallala project would have to be an aqueduct project and not a pipeline if it wants to move a helpful amount of water to justify itself and it would require an exorbitant amount of energy to pump water from, say, Omaha to Denver. It doesn't seem like it has a chance of happening before many smaller projects are attempted first local to the southwest.
