You just can't get around the fact that it's a brick with wheels going down the highway. The brick shape is what makes it so versatile and useful for a lot of things... but they're not the most aerodynamic.

And let's be real, this thing isn't going to be THAT off-road worthy. 30 inch tires are basically nothing these days. The wheelbase is too long... And what's the 3.5 inches of lift going to get you over? I doubt this thing will have enough power without a low-range to climb up any steep obstacles anyways. Especially once all the batteries / solar panels / and the rest of the "camping" gear are loaded up, these things are going to be too heavy to do much more than hit up some random logging roads on a dry day.

Ford's marketing team is doing a great job selling them though.

Funnily, the fact that Google can only index resources/documents associated to a URL has saved the whole concept of the web (for now).

Note: and the fact that there is no search engine inside companies has led them to disregard the concept of permalinks. All SPAs there simply never change the URL in the address bar. Which is an HORRIBLE experience as a user!
I always thought Trump's tweets were a big reason for these context notes being added in the first place.
We did this in college within our computer labs. Then someone broadcast it to the entire campus. IT blocked it within a few days, but it was fun in the months before that happened.
Yes. This is how you get wrecked in the housing market. This is because buying a house is taking a risk. The question is just who is taking it.

In 2008 my mother had her equity completely wiped out due to the exact situation you describe. Underwater mortgage, unable to afford the interest, forced to sell at a loss, zero net worth at the end after paying off all her debt.

On the other hand, we didn't suffer the 2008 banking crisis and overall the economy was basically fine with only a minor recession, mostly due to worldwide conditions.
Musk is not solving climate change.

if he wanted to do that, tesla would stop selling carbon credits. but that would cost $1.6b and stop tesla being profitable.

I have a friend who has dealt with chronic pancreatitis for 2 decades. He just recently finished a medical degree and is finally getting back to work. He needed constant pain medication when he would get flare ups to the point that doctors thought he was opioid shopping. I just always think of the old “there but for the grace of God go I” and hope they have what they need to get through it.
This just made me think of something I need to look up now.

Censorship at its best. Not optimistic about Twitter and where it's heading to.
In the article which summarizes a letter sent to their investors, the fund actually criticized political leadership and not the individual people…
That tweet really makes me think he has gone paranoid / crazy.

“Activists groups pressuring advertisers trying to destroy free speech in America ?”

The dude is a conspiracy theorist now ?
As noted in their other reply, it is actually not a typo. A central part of their point is in that first sentence they note the extra eyes on marginalized people making more money than other marginalized people, but it’s blown out to being extremely exaggerated.

So yes, I think there is a “grave epistemic problem” with the first sentence that hurts the argument and its credibility as a whole, without having to get into the details of the argument itself.

That you called the first replier “stupid” or even their argument “stupid” is wholly unjustified.

"I am enormously proud of the work we did to implement the UN Guiding Principles on Business & Human Rights, to protect those at-risk in global conflicts & crises including Ethiopia."

What does that mean, concretely? What does it achieve? Activating Starlink in such areas actually achieves something, this on the other hand sounds like futile feel-good bureaucracy.
From my experience: after a few years working with it I finally realized it's extremely well documented once you understand which document you are looking for and some of the underlying abstraction patterns that reST uses. It's just a badly organized mess that seems unorganized or half-finished at casual glance, because so much of the documentation was almost entirely written for the audience of reST's implementors and extenders, and even should be user-facing stuff like "how to write in reST" assumes low level familiarity with its abstractions and have read the documentation in a different order. (Which also is why it can often look "half-finished", it's assuming you already know the correct order to read it in, which isn't necessarily the order it presents itself as.)

reST actually has a strong enough spec document that you could reimplement it some other language that isn't Python and assume a base level compatibility (very contrary to Markdown's case and many flavors), and the reason there aren't more reST engines/libraries in other languages is as much the network effects of the existing ecosystem around Python-based extensions (and Sphinx) more than anything technical or missing in the specs.
Overall, yes, very.

For some not so much. Talking with my landlord the other week, they said that they regretted not selling the house last year when they moved. It's lost 15k every week this year on average (according to homes.co.nz estimates). That's almost 30%.

For people like me, it's a good thing. Interest rates are higher, sure, but a smaller deposit is needed and for most people I know that have been looking to buy it's the raising of the deposit that has been the biggest hurdle.

As a child visiting Luxor (back before mass tourism) we were able to climb fairly conventional staircases to the top of a temple near (or at) Karnak. So ordinary staircases in ancient Egypt probably predate the Romans by 1000 years or more.

The Fediverse, and Custom Domains
You fundamentally misunderstand your matryoshka doll of insulated boxes!

In winter, you don’t want to bring in very cold stuff from outside the big box into a smaller box inside the big box: the net effect is you’re making the overall big box colder.

Heat pumps are very efficient!

Though your argument holds up if electricity is expensive and heat is cheap (e.g. off grid with woodstove heat)

If anything, you want to bring stuff from outside the big box, put it in the little box to chill further (dumping the heat inside your big box), and then toss out the super chilled stuff from the little box out of the big box.
Similarly, the Commonwealth Bank of Australia sounds like a government bank, and in fact even began as one, but is actually privitised. They also happen to be the sole owners for New Zealand's ASB - So that one is also Australian!
Of course there is more to university life than grades. But I strongly disagree with the comment that "all you get are people good at testing, and nothing else". I know a bunch of very high SAT scorers, many of them my kid's friends, and they are not just "good at testing". In general, they bring excellence and hard work to everything they do, including athletics, music and art. In fact, I'd argue that it's almost impossible to be "good at testing, and nothing else".
No matter how transparent the voting software and machines are, nothing can fix election between candidates who all hatch from the same incubator.
Wise move - that kind of work is better left to representatives of the people via their elected officials and existing laws.
Lee, Johnson and Scott are outside the GOP mainstream on this one. Even historically Republicans who have wanted to “kill SS” have wanted to replace it with something like they have in parts of Texas (https://www.forbes.com/sites/merrillmatthews/2011/05/12/how-...).

Hell, Nixon (before he stepped down) was ready to push for a negative income tax.
So war profiteering then? Since Ukraine HAD alternatives pre-war, then your model only applies because they can get away with it in a war zone.

Occasionally I will accidentally not have an ad blocker, and yes, the amount of CPU required by them can be enormous.

People seem to just be used to them and claim that their computers are ‘getting slower’, but really they don’t use their computer for anything but web browsing and it’s only slower because ads are getting worse and worse.

This is whataboutism. Identifying what I would regulate is not necessary to fix this problem, much like answering who would provide for a positive right is not necessary in the wealthiest society in all of history. I'll leave it to the scientists and experts. We'll figure it out.
Even Musk can buy attention cheaper than that.
Stop publishing conference videos
I haven't heard a single proclamation on this that isn't likely to be reversed at some point in the near future. People may quit using Twitter in protest and come back in a week. Or they may all leave for good. Or they may join mastodon, or whatever. Remember the mass Facebook departure to ello?

The point I was making is that nobody seems to think any particular thing, other than that which can be post-rationalized from their feelings, pro or anti Musk. The whole thing has the loosened-reality-grip feel of a culture war battle.

> Firing the leadership and a massive percentage of the workforce at once changes who the company is. I am not entirely sure why this needs to be explained.

Sure. QED. But not a point related to mine.

See parent post.
Indeed, and partisan politicians in safe seats also like to float ideas they know don't have a realistic chance of advancing in order to appeal to their ideological base. Every now and then Ted Cruz tweets about "Abolishing the IRS", a prospect I don't think any GOP policymakers are actually willing to fight for. They'll pay lip service to it, however.
Yes. But now it's something different. The "context" notes are user submitted/voted by a selection of users.

The previous system was more of a group at twitter who verified statements. The claim is that the new "context" process is more transparent and/or egalitarian. When the truth of the matter is that it's just going to devolve into being abused by the "well ackshually" crowd.

It's also interesting to note that the same sort of context disappeared from one of Musk's tweets. So, I guess, what's good for the goose is not good for the gander.
That's what I'm thinking. Okay this was a little weird and byzantine, but wouldn't it be like 1000x harder, more expensive, and more byzantine to hire a lawyer, file an actual lawsuit, and take it at least past the initial stages, i.e. surviving a motion to dismiss?
Not being biased is great!

I lost respect for him when he got in to bed with Microsoft and other sponsored companies. It may of pushed Linux in to the lime light but this only opens Pandora's box to the point where you now have corporate entities pushing the direction they want. I see Linus as figure head of an agenda that the corporate sponsors want.

Wasn't Linux suppose to be competitor to windows, an open source free alternative? That's why I installed Linux fifteen years ago and which has now been replaced with FreeBSD which is another good if not better protector of freedom.
Macrobusiness is the Zero Hedge of Australia. They are permabears, often with a reasonable financial case for the claims they're making, but they definitely start from the premise that the sky is falling, then look for data that corroborates that perspective.

Basically commercial version of a box of rocks.
Advertisers are free to act in anticipation of what they think Elon will change, based on his comments and public persona, even if he hasn’t done anything yet.
Everyone that I know has borrowed one from the back of a national/international cafe chain.
Frankly, I don't see how having a team that works "to implement the UN Guiding Principles on Business & Human Rights, to protect those at-risk in global conflicts & crises including Ethiopia," makes any difference to advertisers (but honestly I don't quite get what the team was doing concretely within Twitter... well, maybe Elon didn't, either!)

Advertisers can be spooked by the contents of tweets. Basically few brands want to be associated with extremist or otherwise 'damaging' contents but that's very different and rather touches moderation. That's why advertisers are currently cautious, not because of Human Rights (capitalised) in global conflicts...
Programming is a skill you have to learn by doing. Most CS students learn it during their degrees and the same goes for many math students.

In the end the CS students likely has more experience, while the math student has a better foundation.
For a job experience is almost always more important, but depending on the job mathematical experience might actually be the one more important.
Restricting a process to only be able to access opt-in list of directories underneath the project directory would be useful. Assuming one uses a venv, and all the dependencies are contained there. Then one might want some data folder. And have at least prevented dels from scraping user-wide secrets.
>> e.g. how is scanning for vulnerabilities "spying on us"?

To play Devil's advocate: once you discover a vulnerability you always have two options: report it and have it fixed, or exploit it for your own gain. You charitably assume that government is somehow obligated to chose the former, while in reality in some cases it might choose the latter.
They don't even have to use cops. They are able to let you lose your cash.
They can prevent you from selling the apartments by refusing to issue titles to buyers.
They can stop you from connecting to city-owned utilities.
They can write you a big ticket for zoning violation and put a lien on your land title if you don't pay the fine.
I don't think the person you're responding to is attempting to make a case against Clojure in general, just saying why it's not something they are personally interested in it.
Thanks, that kind of helps, and the quote" Getting Government Permits to get small samples. Should take 90 days. We are on day 160. " Is exactly what is going on. Although it is not always the Government, but rather accountants, lawyers and so on.
Like many shows, it got a lot worse in later season -- but I think later seasons were still really expensive to produce.

Given that this seems to be such a common pattern, I wonder if there's a viable model, where the show's budget ramps down as the audience shrinks. Much like with tech companies, it doesn't have to be binary between a really expensive operation which requires a mass audience to be profitable or fully dead/cancelled.

What if it could gracefully shrink until it was a small, cheap show with a niche audience, until a final season watched only by philosophy undergrads is a series of dialogues about Baudrillard or Merleau-Ponty between a single 'robot' and human character in a blank white room?
Edit: As was pointed out, I didn't read the comment I replied to in the best light.

As such, I'm deleting the original text, since I can't delete this comment any more.

My apologies.
Many CEOs have very one-sided contracts that makes firing them expensive. A great number of companies have boards that are highly sympathetic to the CEO which makes it take even more effort. In a lot of cases bigger shareholders referred the CEO to the board when they hired the CEO, so the board members that represent that shareholder's interests are invested in the bad CEO. So, you basically end up having to fire a friend that your friends invested in and lose a lot of money, and then have to find a new CEO.

I really like companies where the board isn't friendly to the CEO, and their meetings start with a vote on, "Shall the CEO be retained?" If there's a "No", then the floor opens for a discussion of CEO performance.
Why overcomplicate things so much? He probably just meant to use std::string. Programs like this definitely don't need to care about the few dozen bytes added by std::string overhead.
Can anybody recommend a RSS program that works on Windows that isn't terrible? Or that literally does the minimum requirement of works?

I don't know what happened, but when I tried to find something earlier this year, it looked like there was nothing that was a simple RSS without extra bloat that wasn't abandonware and that actually literally worked.

Every time I ask this, 90% of the answers just say use X Android app. Or I have to compile it myself from scratch with broken directions (and then find out it has been broken for years). Or it's like a docker image (thus requiring docker) or otherwise requires installing multiple gigabytes of random new languages.
I enjoyed the article, but I found the description of taste a bit nebulous.

I think part of it is the knowledge and experience you base your expectations/perspective on.

I would argue that there is a subjective aspect to taste that is determined by your personal/technical values. Having different values doesn't mean you have bad taste, it means you're optimising for different things.

If you find yourself in an environment where you're unhappy because things don't match your taste, you might value different things. This doesn't necessarily mean anything is wrong or objectively bad.

I think it's useful to frame things in this way because it can prevent you from dismissing the opinions of people that value different things.

Diversity of opinion and perspective is a good thing to a certain degree. Lack of a common set of shared values is probably a breeding ground for conflict though!
God-given as if people don't have that right already and care about what others think about it.

People would still put whatever they want into their own bodies no matter what.

So, playing your game for a second, how do the laws implemented by the elected officials, elected by the people actually make it into execution. Maybe Twitter should hire a human rights attorney to work with the elected officials elected by the people to implement those laws!
But, do they tell you about the vulnerabilities before they exploit them?

Maybe they put it like this to exempt themselves...

I can personally attest to the fact that yes, british citizens can assess vulnerabilities in UK government systems. This was something I worked with the UKNCSC on: https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/information/vulnerability-reporting
Elon Musk has now taken several steps that make advertisers nervous (this step one included). As such, by his own admission, Twitter is now suffering a massive fall in revenue. Therefore, such cuts are the very definition of "penny wise, pound foolish." A few more cuts like this and Twitter will go the way of Tumblr (bought for $1.1 billion and sold for $3 million). If your whole business model is advertising then you need to care about the audience that you hope to sell to your advertisers, and if you don't care about that audience, it will shrink, at which point your advertising revenue will decline.
Maintain servers not maintain services. Twitter likely had thousands of services doing thousands of different things. At their scale yes you need to keep thousands of people on payroll at least to turn off all the “fluff”.

Even if you can refactor and simply their work to half the workload, you can’t do that within a week. Even the boring organizational stuff is crazy at this scale. They for sure slashed whole teams at once. Who turned off those services? Or if they’re meant to be running, who owns them, organizationally? Where is the code living, what repo, what part of the code base, when something goes wrong, what metrics are being watched? Overnight teams had to become responsible for twice the code/services, potentially stuff they have never seen before. Bloated or not, that’s not easy.
I'm the author of about a dozen popular AGPL and GPL projects, but please tell me how I don't understand open source.

The purpose of releasing source available but proprietary code is so that users can learn and integrate into it, and making it available lets anyone learn how it works. The only reason I even considered making the source available is balance between 1) needing to eat and 2) valuing open source enough to risk #1.

Please take your condescension elsewhere.
Afghans, specifically mentioned in this twitter thread, don't have an elected government.
I regularily don't check emails for hours at a time, and would really apprciate someone publicly "calling me out" if I were to forget disclosing a CoI. And I am sure we could as @dang for how quickly impressions drop off on HN specifically. Reddit is the most similar platform and there, a topic usually is active for a few hours at most, so after that window, the disclosure would be practically useless.

And how is stating a disagreement bullying? You can just disengage if tgis is that unpleasant to you.

Sure, it'd be nicer to privately do it, but IMO in such cases, informing the public is the more important part rather than being nice. (There were no insults, no accusations of it being intentional or such, which I'd personally count as nice enough)

Or do you believe we have to coddle everyone online? (I am being serious, and do not intend to troll, but can see how it can be taken as trolling)
How I see it, network teachers who told this story, said it as a missed technological leadership opportunity. They had lots of skills but the structure made networking lag just a bit too long.
