Nice :)

Nothing more adrenaline pumping than pouring over disassembly print outs and cracking tutorials in the middle of the night to make NOP sleds!

I’m the exact opposite of you. I like most of the touch screen controls, including the AC ones, but the number of taps it takes to open the glovebox always irritates me.
And then all that "definitely going to be used for contact tracing only" data got shared around with the police.
If Musk did that, requesting a favor of TSLA engineers or even hinting at a promotion, that would be so unethical and immoral.
Getting a project to use typical tunnel boring machines via renting tunnel boring machines is not anything special.

Raising money is just a con man thing, the boring company has achieved nothing new at all, like, nothing.

We're still waiting on all the other promises that just keep not coming, so no, I don't think we'll be surprised.
You're not familiar with Henry Ford and his reputation? People whose personality solely consists of embarrassingly irrational hatred of Musk are as cringeworthy as those who worship him.
There's an IMHO better article[0] on the same subject.

I think the point here is that it's not Elon's resources to pool. Since TSLA is a public company and shareholders don't benefit from their resources going to the CEO's other company for free.
Do you remember why he got kicked? He could miss big too.
He doesn’t own all of TSLA, so if there’s no contract, he’s appropriating TSLA to his private project. If it was done off the books, it’s syphoning money from something you don’t own to something you do.
QR menus was just the tip of the iceberg of a huge downgrade of service during Covid, which still prevails because they’re recovering costs and suffering from huge inflation.

There are less staff, worse trained staff, longer waits, reduced menus, increased prices etc in many places now.

I get it. It was hard to run a restaurant before the pandemic. I can’t imagine what it’s like now
There's a lot of tech like this - it's flashy, it seems great, but it just doesn't work well enough to be a game changer.

To go to extra steps you need to get extra value (and not just "use our app and save 5$" type of value) - something like being able to save custom variations from previous visits, order before and have it nearly ready, etc.

Anyways, off to raise $50m for QR-menus-on-the-blockchain, wish me luck.
I have never driven a Mazda but I watch a lot of car reviews. It seems to me they're the only car manufacturer that gets car interactions right. They actually have a philosophy how human-cars should interact and design everything based on it. Hence everything comes natural and consistent and logical.
> For intentional murder, the penalty is a life for a life

The death penalty for murder is understandable, even if you don't agree with it.

> if the murderer succeeds in fleeing abroad, a member of his family of equal status may be put to death in his stead

> if the killer escapes, his family owes two lives instead of one

But killing other innocent people as a penalty for murder is indefensible, even if they are from the same family as the murderer.
Exactly the same sentiments. My family is zero phones when eating, whether home or out.

Luckily, most places would bring a physical menu when asked. One claimed they didn't have any, and seemingly made no effort to accommodate, so they just lost our business. At minimum, I don't think it's too much to ask for a single chalkboard or screen or something. Having nothing and demanding users scan QR codes is low effort.
Anecdotally, between a Pixel 4a, Pixel 7 pro, OnePlus 6 and 7 Pro, none of them ever successfully scanned QR codes in photos. All required a separate app to correctly recognize QR codes.
Some restaurants here also provide a tablet at the table for your orders. That started before QR codes became widespread.

Very convenient!
Next up, twitter's engineers to evaluate Tesla's code
But Tesla is public, that’s the interest here.
The nuclear option isn't on the menu unless the kitchen is lying in the midst of an active engagement nearing the span of 12 months. A one hundred year war is not unimaginable and would accelerate technology development from brainchild to fieldop. The downside is Earth orbit getting messed up and going to Mars has heightened risk the first few thousands of miles.
They may be able to confiscate my stuff, but I will at least make them put in the work to target me individually and make them find that judge and that witness and that warrant. Doing that for -everyone- is infeasible and expensive which was the exact point of the constitution. It is designed to clip the wings of hopeful authoritarian elements of our government.

Also, because I control my technology, and my encryption keys, the constitution gives me one other major protection. The right to not self-incriminate, or, the right to not give them additional rope to hang me with.

No one knows my decryption passwords but me, and no one can compel me to reveal them legally.

It is exactly because the government does not always play fair, as you point out, that every citizen owes it to themselves and each other to limit their power.

Meanwhile you give up all rights and control of your data when you agree to the terms of service of Apple or Google. They will hand over your plain text data without your knowledge or consent if you merely say the wrong trigger phrase.
What are some strategies for this? I can't think of any and would have been a sitting duck.
Which aspect of this video convinced you that when men like Levine identify as women, they actually are women, not just men who want to be women? I watched the whole piece and didn't find a persuasive argument in favor of this.

Also their discussion on the Forstater case is out of date; that original judgement they cite was overturned on appeal, and the subsequent employment tribunal found that Forstater had indeed been discriminated against for her gender critical beliefs.
I was coming here to say this. I have definitely found myself reading a codebase that is easy to read and easy to follow, and mistakenly concluding therefore that its developers were not solving complicated problems.
In the USA it's been 90% a redirect to some massive print-ready PDF stored on AWS, the other 10% it's a redirect to a hand-coded HTML file that is badly out of date.

I’d always wonder if the company/product would have succeeded if I quit before launching.
You imagine people pushing others hard. But the reality is crushing can also be caused by thousands of people pushing gently. For example if there is a line of 1000 people, with person to person contact, and there is something nice in one direction (eg. The exit to a concert), or nasty in the other direction (encroaching fire or flood), then merely pushing with 1 lb of force means by the end of the line you have 1000 lbs of force, which would crush anyone.

The effect is made worse in 2 dimensions because of converging field lines having a force amplification effect.
Tesla has very mediocre computer vision AI. I am not an ML engineer, but how does that skill set translate to probably a series of ML programs optimized for very specific problems - for account take overs, for spam, for hate speech, for bots, for profanity, payment frauds, identity frauds. It’s not like computer vision suddenly makes you an expert on what features will maximize precision and recall for a spam detector
If I saw this message from a service, I'd start to question whether or not I trust that service. In short: it's obnoxious.

Most of us spend our browsing days dealing with various intrusive demands: GDPR stuff, anti-adblock screens, popovers demanding your email address, apps and widgets begging you for positive reviews, etc. I'm beyond tired of sites and services that behave like this. Any service that's scrutinizing what kind of email I use, and then bothering me about it, is an immediately bad first impression, and makes me wonder what other grubby stuff it's doing behind the scenes. (And the tone—"hey there! I noticed..."—is something I associate with sites that whine about adblocking. It's not tactful so much as grating.)
I said they would get promoted by moving to TWTR. It could be Musk inviting them to interview as managers as TWTR as much as he's using them to evaluate TWTR talent.
> I get it, the convenience of having a simple menu in hand (0 steps) vs. a QR code menu (5-6 steps) trumps whatever interactivity the latter menu provides.

Yes, but on the other hand the QR ordering I've done here in Singapore streamlines a lot of other steps from the rest of the ordering-food-and-paying process.

It's especially useful that you no longer have to synchronize with wait staff. You can just order and pay whenever.
Well then why don’t they go to Snapch…oh, never mind.
I bet it takes mere seconds to angle grind your way into a glovebox. Thick hardened steel bike locks resist angle grinders for less than a minute. Thieves also talk to each other and spread techniques.
Vacuum tube tunnels deep below bedrock could be the nextgen railroad to fighting logistics. Built by giant tunneling bots.
Do you hate all QR menus or only the dysfunctional ones?
Most are terrible , but occasionally it’s a light web application where I can order and pay directly from. Which I like very much. I do dread the scanned menu PDFs though, they’re crimes against humanity
Fraud on credit cards from theft or merchants incorrectly billing is also far more protected in the US than in most any European country, and probably most other countries as well. It’s far less of a consideration in one’s mind when every bank I’ve had in the US defaults to believing the card owner over the merchant unless proven otherwise. These protections are more “balanced” between both sides in a place like Switzerland, for instance.
In fact, in many parts of the world and even in the US the standard for listing food available for order is just that - a flyer on the counter or even better, some pictures of the various dishes.

(You know the food's going to be good when the picture is faded from 15 years of sunlight.)
Amazon makes staff cuts at Amp, an app it launched to ‘reimagine radio’
> I'd be trying to figure out how to maximize my severance package...

How would one go about doing that? Is there a way to have influence on that?
For a counter-anecdote: I've ordered sushi electronically in a restaurant just fine.

However, I would probably not go back to a place that had a terrifyingly horrible UI for ordering, either.
Isn't Peter theil launching a competing product. Maybe he tricked musk into buying twitter so this happens
> At worst it is an intentionally pointless and expensive exercise that serves purely as a loyalty test.

The engineers would have used company's resources. I wouldn't be bothered if I am forced to do this. It is a 1 minute of work to print something.

I don't think this part is true. It is likely fake. The source for the print out story is so shaky. Leah Culver tweeted obscurely which is hard to tell whether it is a joke. Casey claims to have screenshots but refuse to show the redacted version of them and end with "subscribe to read"....

The code review part might be true but it is not a spicy story.

It's a crazy thing to do

Just shut the company down and start over, don't turn people's lives into a living hell for weeks or months
Jeez, I'm -remotely- correct as it was a 2-sentence summary of complex government rules. Relax. Your details are absolutely correct, but what an "Ackshually" comment!
The average thief is a lot smarter, stronger and good with tools than you think.

They also network and know a lot of stuff.
Yep this, overall makes the car cheaper to make.
You're just nitpicking on the otherwise innocent wording they use to introduce new features. How's that supposed to be more egregious than what Google is doing here?

If that is enough to put you up in arms against Mozilla, you should see Google's PR notice when they suddenly kill off one of their services.
Could a commercial player grab an existing open protocol like Mastodon and just put a really slick UI/UX on that?
I think the leading implementation is Toast Tab at least in the Bay. I really like it and hope it becomes more prominent.

https://pos.toasttab.com/products/mobile-order-and-pay

>With Toast Mobile Order & Pay™, guests can easily scan a QR code to browse the menu, order, and pay, all from their mobile device. Plus with Apple Pay, guests can pay in less than 10 seconds.
Sounds like an American problem? Tipping isn't that common elsewhere, fortunately.
I love them. I just wish they weren't all hosted in some EU-based S3 datacenter.
What are these restaurants that don't have the hostess give you menus? The lowest class ones have menus printed on the little table placemats, middle ones always have a pile of menus the host grabs from when seating you (and calls you Party of X, always), and the highest ones either arrange for wine first, or you're getting a menu from the server right as you're seated by the hostess.

I suppose there's some middle-ground "seat yourself" style ones but I can't recall any recently.
On my computer quotation marks default to low/high, so it depends on your language setting.

i.e. - the quotes are smart because they adapt to your region.
What a fantasy scenario. In what world can someone force their way into to your locked car but can't force their way into the glove box?
Much more so than a touchscreen.
Ask HN: What are your favourite audiobooks?
C and C++ are both very mature languages at this point and there have been 30-40 years of fairly intense efforts to try and retrofit memory safety onto them with analyzers, language extensions, and runtimes. I wouldn't bet money that it's provably impossible, but I think it's safe to say that we're unlikely to see a general solution in the near future.
one tangentially related extremely irritating “feature” of Teslas is automatic updates, which not only disable the car while they’re going on, but often rearrange the UI so you have to figure out where the buttons are all over again. it’s a flat out disgrace. you get into your extremely expensive car, ready to go, but no the car isn’t available because some dev team somewhere a few thousand miles away decided to push an almost certainly unnecessary change to YOUR possession. I don’t like this concept on mobile devices and PCs, but I despise it for cars
i don't know, but quit vs fire probably makes a difference.
They work well in Singapore too, but typically don't open in an super app. It's typically just a website.

(The restaurants don't really like dealing with the super apps like Grab, because they take a 30% cut.)
In D you also control when to call the GC.
Sort of, but it's also an unforgiving maze of regulations where any misstep is punished with extreme prejudice. A lot of people avoid the subsidy for this reason.

One government fell over this (unfortunately the same government stepped right back in as if nothing had happened) and there was a big inquiry. But trust in the system is still minimal.
There is no world where wiring, relays and motorized latches are cheaper than a button latch.
No, you're thinking too small - do it on companies that HAVE online ordering via the QR code, and tack on "fees" and still place the order through - could even hire contractors to do the actual orders.

People might not even notice, just like they don't notice the "18% gratuity included on all orders" that are appearing here and there (and still tip on top of that).
The two aren't similar at all.

Commute to work = hours lost every day with drastic lifestyle change. Some people even move further away from the office during pandemic.

Printing code on paper = 1 minute of work. Paper and ink are paid by company. It is not really that much of a problem.

Actually, this is a punishment on the reviewer. No jump to definition and etc.

The printing story is fake. I call it now.
This appears to have been an AGPL related case, although it wasn't about the network clause.

https://www.theregister.com/2017/05/13/gnu_gpl_enforceable_c...

BTW, the AGPL network clause triggers on modification, not on distribution (which the AGPL has the same provisions for as the GPL) or public performance or something else.
Guarding the sense doors from dark imagery? This is a questionable interpretation- and I say that as a Buddhist!
My teachers (Tibetan scholars) have talked about a lot over the years but have never breathed a word about that. If you want to be dark, or goth, that’s not an issue.

What is a problem is avoidance- how we tend to avoid death (the opposite of “darkness” in a sense). You know: we’ll keep on living like this, the good life, permanently, death is an aberration, let’s not be “morbid,” etc. Then something which is absolutely possible & even inevitable happens - your friend dies, your dog dies, your grandma dies - and people are shocked, even though it is very clear that not only is that a possibility, given a large enough sample size (like, everyone you’ve ever met) & time frame, it is a certainty.
> Not Being Attached to Outcomes

This is something I wish could be taught at Universities instead of having the opposite reinforced every step of the way. It has by far been the hardest thing for me to deal with.

University taught me that the only thing that actually mattered at the end of the day was succeeding and that it was better to work yourself to death, just barely "make it work", maybe even try to pass it off as not being made of tech debt, and then just submit/push and never look back.

Prior to university I would have never considered doing this but after repeatedly being put up against the choice of either "requesting more time to do it right and potentially failing the assignment/project" or "jerryrigging a barely functional piece of code/hardware", my first instinct when faced with an unattainable deadline on the horizon became to drop all attempts at seeking accommodation or assistance, go into crunch mode, and desperately slap together a last ditch effort to put it all together. This understandably got me into hot water at work quite a number of times in the past.

I still haven't entirely gotten over this bad habit/coping mechanism/whatever you want to call this awful behaviour but even now when I come up against a challenge with a time limit, my mind immediately shifts to "flee from admitting your incompetence and try to do it all yourself regardless of whether it's feasible". I've gotten better at noticing it and snapping myself out of it but it's an incredibly unpleasant mindset to get put into every time something takes slightly longer than expected.
So Freetone maintains the mapping between its own Freetone colors and the Pantone colors?
That might or might not be true, but it doesn't matter much for the argument about the length of the leash.
Wasn’t this whole thing a somewhat sketchy attempt by Qualcomm to change its licensing terms by acquiring a company with a different business model and therefore different Arm license?

Seems like Arm is trying to close licensing loopholes.
Musk has made TSLA stock holders fabulously wealthy over the last decade. He's gonna get a long leash from TSLA shareholders.
To be precise, these are fences which are too big to push over by oneself, but will move when pushed on by hundreds of people. That relieves any crowd pressure, and the movement of the baraccade is a signal to organisers that they have screwed up and need to prevent more people entering that area.
More and more fast food places let you order ahead all you want, but don't actually start cooking it until you "arrive". It's kinda pointless, even though I understand why they do it.

(Taco Bell and McDonald's at least don't start your order until you "arrive" at the drive-thru or pickup area; but if you order Taco Bell for "inside pickup" they seem to start cooking it right away ... sometimes?)
I locked the glove box on my old Honda once. All it got me was a new dash, since the thief took a screwdriver and pried it open, destroying a lot more than if I'd just left it unlocked.

Thieves will find a way.
Are there any other places on on the internet that call them "soft quotes"?
Oh come now. Tumblr didn’t fail due to engineers sabotaging it. It failed because the new owners decided that they were too squeamish for porn and it turned out that porn was what sustained Tumblr. This was Yahoo simply not understanding what the product actually was.

I wasn't asking you to 'prove a negative', I was specifically asking you to prove a positive. Which is that you have friends that work at Twitter that say otherwise.

Moreover; if you DID have friends that work at Twitter this thing would be very easy to disprove because they could very easily go through the corporate slack or whatever they use, see if people were asked or not and done. Mission accomplished. That doesn't even require doxxing your friends specifically.

But you're not going to do this. Just like Casey, you can easily take screenshots, redact names and done. I don't think you actually have friends at Twitter to be honest nor do I think you were ever willing to engage in good faith.
I've never been laid off but my productivity would definitely tank if I knew half of us were getting cut. I think I'm pretty good, but not above getting the axe. Which is also why I choose my teams/projects wisely because a lot of them disappear
I can't believe people still respect Parag after what happened with Mudge.
Some restaurants paid a lot of money for QR-code things, and those push it from some kind of "sunk cost" fallacy I feel.

Out of 5 restaurants in Miami only two had QR codes, and one revealed menus instantly at the slightest hint that someone at the table couldn't read the code.
You don't need code! You need functionality ;)
