They did not include an automated KYC process for when the transactions are larger than 10k USD.

Therefore, they intended it to be used to hide transactions from the US government. They could have also limited the service to not run on amounts larger than 10k?
That may be the case for a Tesla (never driven one) but the ride-share Smart EVs we have around Paris absolutely need brakes to come to a stand-still. They will decelerate fairly quickly to 20-25 kmph, but after that, the deceleration rate slows down, and it actually will never stop by itself.

For some reason I can't understand, they tried to imitate ICE automatics that don't stand still if you don't have your foot on the brake pedal.
The malls out by me which are dying are slowly moving to this model.

I think it's a great idea. There are plenty of working examples of housing/retail where people never have to leave indoors to get all their basic needs taken care of.

There's of course megamalls out by me as well, which are doing just fine and don't need to evolve. One is in a wealthy suburb, and has a shopping tourism industry which props up the local hotels on the weekends when business travel is low.
I don't want to give the impression that I'm knowledge gating, I'm not, in fact, one of my mottos is to try to make myself redundant. Even if I succeed there, more work will find me. With that caveat out of the way, when you're Senior and paid accordingly, I agree that day to day you may not be more productive than someone else, but the pay delta, and it can be significant is like a retainer. At least that's how I've come to see it. I'll give you my 40 hours a week, but if a critical situation comes up, I, the senior, am there, knowing which levers to pull to resolve the situation quickly.
Putting aside the general trends you've identifier, in the spirit of my previous comment, #3 -- "online charter school", I think this is definitely, 100%, absolutely, absotively, definitely, 100% dead. Just not happening -- the COVID remote school experiment was a failure on every axis other than public health, and everyone from parents to children to teachers to administrators acknowledges this.
They also have experience on what doesn't work. This doesn't mean they are great at the job, but is often a big advantage over someone who is otherwise better but doesn't have experience.

Hydro has been superceded by battery storage and Green Hydrogen production, for economic reasons.

Existing ones, particulalry those built for multiple functions (water supply, recreation) still have some use but mostly you just want to be rolling out solar and wind until you run out of fossil fuel generation to displace. Only then do you really need to start comparing whether building storage would cost less than more renewables and interconnects and hydro is unlikely to be the lowest cost option unless you're going to build the dam anyway for other reasons.

If you were to get the standard grouping of Costco/Target/Walmart/IKEA/Best Buy/Home Depot/Lowes/Staples/Nordstrom Rack stores near that mall, then the mall would also be threatened.

Those businesses I listed have optimized delivering the most commonly needed items, and then the internet came along and provided access to the uncommonly needed items. So the mall is not needed for the uncommon items, and they cannot compete on margins for the common items at the other stores I mentioned, so they have no use.
If I lost my iPhone (and the FindMy network wasn’t able to locate it), the watch can get me by just fine as if nothing even happened. Oh and this was all setup in a couple of minutes when first buying the watch, so unlikely to be in a situation where the watch can’t adequately take over phone duties because I didn’t dedicate a semester to set everything up and keep it in sync on a regular basis. It’s all automatic. Integrated devices > non-integrated devices all day long. Back to the lost phone; I would then walk into an Apple store when time permits, and get or buy a replacement (depending on Apple care coverage status) phone, enter my Apple ID on the new phone and voila its in the exact state as the old one before leaving the store. End of saga, I go meetup with mates as planned in the evening.

Try to do the same with non-Apple ecosystem or with physical cards and keys. I wish there were (dependable) options, but other large organisations have proven to be utterly incompetent in this area. They have no vision and/or ability to pull off something like this. Or their own actions have made their reputation unpalatable even if they somehow offered it in the future.

Also I hate having to remember to carry five different things every time I leave the house, and feel the sensation of those bulky items moving around in my pocket while walking (Europe, we walk a lot) or running. And I hate having to be limited to trousers/joggers/shorts that have deep enough pockets to fit all those items in, and them falling out while out for a run etc etc etc.
That is a lot like a hurricane or tsunami. The rest of the world seems able to ignore those. Unless of course it hit (e.g.) TSMC.
A.I. Is Making It Easier Than Ever for Students to Cheat
Ask HN: What do you think of salary cap?
Disclaimer 1: I'm not a native english speaker, so forgive me for my spelling and grammar mistakes. I hope to convey the message.

Disclaimer 2: My google fu is not that good and I cannot find anything about it. The only results are related to sports.

Disclaimer 3: It just a passing thought, I didn't explore all the social/economical/political intricacies. But that's why I'm asking here :-).

What do you think of putting socially a limit on how much an individual (not family) can earn? What is the point of earning more than what I can spend in my lifetime, or my grandchildren lifetime?. My question is specifically targeted for people who earn more than half a million dollars per year. I could understand earning at least 150-200K/year having a family and providing them a good life, maybe not a luxurious life. Now, the exact amount I don't know. It will vary according to the market.

I keep thinking, limiting the salary a person can earn, will somehow discourage people from running this rat race and accumulating so much wealth. It will inevitably put in every person mind the idea of work and personal life balance.

Once reached the top money, why should I keep working?

This will partially solve all the social insurance, UBI, retirement plans,..., right? The extra money goes to the social fund of a nation?

The ever-growing and ever-progressing mindset that we have is not sustainable in the long-term. Why not put the same cap also per companies? Why the goal of a company is always earning more? What if we put a cap also there?

I'm waiting for the first case of a human artist being banned because their style was "too similar" to AI-generated art. I think that'll be the beginning of the end for the communities that do these kinds of bans.
Sure, add on a third wheel, some thicker tires, and give me a cabin so I don't need to get too rained on and I can probably get rid of my car and borrow one if I need to pick up like a load of plywood or something.

Seriously though, a cabin probably won't even add too much weight, make it out of corrugated plastic or something. We already have the technology.

I sold my 3B for a price that honestly makes me feel a little guilty at the height of the shortage, but to be fair it was an auction and I only set the reserve to MSRP. At least it went to someone who presumably really needed it and it was just sitting on my shelf gathering dust after being used for a project.
The problem being solved by these decisions is that AI art is a visible threat to the livelihoods of the people the site is designed to support and uplift. Art sites have already had rate limits for years.

These communities are explicitly saying "no" to this disruptive technology. If you want to go make a new gallery site for showing off your prompt engineering that's your own lookout, have fun trying to build a community and figure out how to keep the site funded. But you can't come spam our existing communities of people who've dedicated decades to their craft with the messy, incoherent results of the whole six months you've spent learning to be a "prompt engineer".

In my latest series of tweets [1] I tried to argue that this is not the case in a less technical way, not sure if I was successful though. For anyone not fluent in Korean, my argument was as follows:

Stable Diffusion was trained with a data set composed of about 2.32 billion text-image pairs. The model itself by comparison weighs about 4 GB. If the model somehow stored those images (completely disregarding texts) in the compressed form, it would be less than 2 bytes (EDITED) per each image. Whoever downloaded an image from the internet can see this is absurd. In reality 4 GB of data is the juice extracted from the data set, and if you could actually recover an original image from it then the juice must have had a recognizable residue, which would be pretty undesirable.

The Chipolo CARD Spot is an example of such a product.

https://chipolo.net/en-us/products/chipolo-card-spot?cl=head...

Also, the Tile Slim tracker is very comparable:

https://www.tile.com/product/black-slim?pack-size=1&category...

It doesn't implement the U1 protocol, rather it's a Bluetooth LE-based tracker that works with any phone, but it fits your form factor. Buy one and peel it apart, or look at their FCC filing photos:

https://fccid.io/2ABXLT1601S

https://fccid.io/2ABXLT1601S/Internal-Photos/2ABXLT1601S-Int...

or a teardown:

https://youtu.be/Vl6EdSlNKQo?t=61

It uses flexible PCBs, thin rigid PCBs, and an extremely thin battery like this one:

https://www.ultralifecorporation.com/default.asp?LINKNAME=LI...

plus the processors, piezo buzzer, antenna, as well as injection-molded plastic shell.

To build this from scratch, you need an electrical engineer, a programmer, a manufacturing engineer, a PCB manufacturer, and an assembly manufacturer. Be aware that hardware startups are hard, you can't just throw up a webserver and scale later, you are probably needing at least 800 hours of skilled engineering effort, probably double that if you're new to electronics manufacturing, just to get a comedy-size PCB conglomeration which would get you tackled by security the airport, might have 3 days of battery life, costs $200 each, and can be found by an iPhone using the Find My network. Then you have to miniaturize it and get the BOM cost under $15 (which won't happen at quantities under 1,000) and the assembly tooling semi-automated so you can build it in under 120 seconds of hands-on operator time and then you can sell it for $29.99, until someone on Aliexpress rips off your design and sells it for $24.99.

you nailed it.. they are concerned about the "quality of the user experience" and not the billions of dollars at stake?

I believe it's thermodynamically possible to be in a caloric deficit while gaining fat. The body won't gain mass, because it will be losing lean tissue, and that has a lot more mass per calorie stored than fat, due to protein being less energy dense to begin with, but mainly due to lean tissue having a lot of water mass.

Say that a body is in a caloric balance, and at the same time in a strange state in which it is storing N calories as fat, while releasing N calories from breakdown of lean tissue: a lean-to-fat conversion is going on, so to speak. That body will be losing mass, because a calorie of lean tissue represents much more mass than a calorie of fat storage.

If that same body then starts to release N + M calories from lean tissue, it will still be losing mass, while gaining fat.

The only question of how physiologically likely are these thermodynamically valid situations. We do know that people who experiment with "yo-yo dieting" can end up with worsened body compositions, but probably not due to gaining fat while dieting but rather (1) losing lean tissue while dieting, while losing some fat and (2) rebound weight gain while not dieting possibly exacerbated by a lowered metabolism due to less lean tissue.

Still, consider this thought experiment. A dieting person wears a backpack which is considered part of their body. Every day, a hundred grams of lard is added to the backpack, and this lard is counted as part of their caloric intake. The person diets and exercises in such a way that there is a caloric deficit. That person will be undeniably gaining fat in that backpack. It's thermodynamically possible for the body to be promoting fat storage in some area, regardless of what else is happening.

Well, it's not banned, but over $10k USD in cash you need to fill out an IRS form 8300 [1] precisely to curb criminal use of cash. (Although I'd argue it should be upped and pegged to inflation as 10k isn't what 10k used to be.)

> I'm very skeptical. I think there are some things that may make us "feel hungrier" but there's nothing changing our metabolism.

> If we are to believe this, it would mean that "plastic" is making our bodies so much more efficient that there's extra energy that's being stored as fat.

I think it's likely the opposite, e.g. there's something (not necessarily plastic) throwing off hormones, so the body ends up storing more of the calories as fat than it would if it was healthy. It's not at all clear (to me, at least) that a healthy human body would continue to store fat indefinitely, regardless of how many calories were being consumed.
In many of these organizations, PMs serve to insulate the "planning and design" ICs from conversations with customers.

You'd like to think that. I would too. But even if it's true, Tim Cook will not be there forever either. Publicly traded companies are owned by shareholders who can and will do what they want. The last half century of business is littered with the corpses of once vaunted corporate bodies stripped by investors.

Just mentioning "file extensions" should make everyone flinch: they've been a source of confusion and security problems for the entire existence of Windows.

This article does nothing to make me feel better about "file extensions", in that Mr Chen, for all of this authoritative knowledge of Windows, makes one of the big mistakes about "file type" that have plagued Windows. What is "file type"? Is is "binary file" vs "text file"? Is it "executable file" vs "data file"? Is it "input file for Excel" vs "input file for Word" vs "input file for $X"? Or is is something weird like in old VMS ODS-11 files, fixed-length records vs variable length records which is a very basic "type", which could be characterized as "disk hardware level organization".

Microsoft has done nothing over the years to make this easier. "Extensions" like "COM" and "EXE" and some other undocumented list of extensions make a file executable to the operating system. Having file explorer (or whatever it's called these days) hide the extension has led to people getting fooled into running "porn.jpg.exe" trojan horses.

File extensions: a debacle in many acts. I guess this article clears up some of the more obvious aspects, but does nothing overall.

Then the computer would be better at recognizing a sign than a human.
