> What's so bad about American dealerships?

Here (in EU) we have anything from manufacturer-led dealership to entirely independent one.

But there laws that make it basically forbidden for manufacturers to sell directly and have a lot of protection for dealerships business. Hence no competition. That was made into slapping extra price over MSRP on rarer cars there. That practice started spanning pretty much all cars during pandemic.

Here is one example

https://www.carscoops.com/2022/11/honda-dealerships-payment-...

> They just provide a service - they have cars available to test drive

... sometimes

> and have a real person to talk to during the purchase

That is almost always clueless about nitty gritty, and just wants to sell you the one they earn most money on.
This is bizarre. Yes, archaic Māori population density shifted from the South Island to the North following the (close enough) extinction of the moa.

(And the people who would become the Moriori migrated from the South Island to the Chathams)

But this isn't surprising, the crops they brought with them from Hawaiki grew better in the North Island, so when the moa population collapsed (entirely due to hunting) it makes sense that population density would shift from the areas good for moa to the areas good for agriculture.

There's no evidence that I've ever seen that ties the extinction of moa to the Little Ice Age.

They will continue to whine until all observation is done from outer space.

On the one hand, it's good to have a reminder as it's important that interference with terrestrial astronomy is taken into account when designing new space missions. On the other hand, the degree to which the whining is being amplified by doing it in news articles gives it a bit of "shitting where you sleep" quality - my feeling is they're already quite successfully souring the nascent space industry to the general population, which is extremely counterproductive long-term, especially for people whose fields' existence depends pretty much entirely on goodwill and surplus funding.

In other words: excessive whining about space utilization will not stop launches of telecom satellites and subsequent light and radio pollution, but it may very well make it so no one will have the will and the spare cash to fund the next space-based telescope.
Yikes.

Tech salaries are risk premiums (2020)
We'll soon see if that prediction will become true given the current trend of layoffs.
It's more subtle than "gibberish and/or internally inconsistent"
as opposed to "intentional misrepresentation".

Frankfurt sets this important subtlety out quite early IIRC, as being
about the reflective capacity of the bullshitter.

The liar has clear reflection and intent, and may be highly
intelligent and able to construct clever arguments. A troll only wants
to hurt and uses disingenuous talk instrumentally. The idiot may offer
up enthusiastic but confused jibber-jabber whose truth content is
patchy/questionable but lacks deceptive intent. We can all be liars,
mean or idiots from time to time as we are sly, insecure or careless
through language. Even when acting in good faith most of us are in the
epistemological bind of spreading misinformation that seems true and
justified, but we're unable to verify.

The bullshitter; does . not . give . a . fuck .

It's a sociopathic disregard for feelings, consequences, truth or
falsehood. The bullshitter is immersed in their own fantasy of
confidence and will do or say anything that keeps it's momentum
going. When challenged with real contrary evidence the bullshitter
doubles down. You can see it in trained bullshitters, politicians,
company PR spokespeople, and drunks who are too far gone to keep
themselves in check.

Most of it is benign. You can still learn a lot from or about a
bullshitter by filling in the gaps around what the fantasy means to
them. Professional bullshit is a whole different problem and is deeply
corrosive so society - and there's mountains of it because the system
must, at all costs save face.

Err this is obviously a bit of a thread now, but the point of my post wasn't asking for help, but rather pointing out that frustrations with the market, and the front door, as it were, are universal.

In the UK the market is pretty dumb. Folks are mainly looking for reasons to exclude you rather than focusing on the positives. Ergo, I fire and forget resumes and only really put effort into the ones that come back positively.

When I get past the gate keepers, I almost always get an offer.

So my point is, "hang in there".

> No one knows about the deception at the heart of the trans cult better than the cult members themselves.

I understand the temptation to label something you don't believe in as a cult, and you can for sure observe some of the traits you'd expect in cults in some of the trans discourse online. Overall though it's too reductive; transsexualism has not been dreamed up by a cult leader, it's something recorded and observed for thousands of years.

The recent explosion in the discourse warrants more thoughtful and careful interrogation, and less casual dismissal.

> Who needs an email client when the file system can literally index it all and your inbox and email messages are literally files in a folder in a Tracker window that's just displaying email specific metadata for its columns.

As it soon turned out, almost everybody. All that BeFS does, in exchange for a bunch of your disk space and CPU, is BTree indexes, for each index you want your filesystem gets a little slower and bigger. It starts out "Quite a bit worse than some of the alternatives available at the time" and goes down from there. If you switch the indexing off so as to get back reasonable performance, now your email folders are just unsorted and sorting them takes forever as it would on a Windows PC (except your Windows PC has an email client so you wouldn't do that).

This makes for a cool demo of course, which is important if your actual goal is to get Apple to hire you instead of Jobs, but there's a reason why your filesystem did not add this fairly simple feature and you still have an email client.

Incorrect. It was a brand new Samsung Galaxy A5 Duos which I bought in early 2018 for well over $300. Yes, it was 4G, but not voice over 4G. It stopping being able to make voice calls on AT&T’s network only four years later. I think T-Mobile still supports 2G, so it would work there, but I’m not sure.

Anyway I got a Pixel 5 and now use T-Mobile’s instead of AT&T’s network (via Ting, since I use little mobile data and that gives me a phone with a low-bandwidth data plan for $15 a month + tax), since T-Mobile is better about supporting legacy phones and protocols.

In terms of the “waste of spectrum” argument, I think it’s better for the earth to “waste” some spectrum than waste millions of perfectly good phones. One takes up landfill, the other doesn’t. But, to each their own.
>I'm pretty sure this is the same in Europe, or at least in France. Even if I wanted to buy a local make, say a Renault, I don't know how I'd go about getting in touch with the manufacturer directly instead of going through a dealership.

The difference is that manufacturer-owner dealership is basically not an option in US.

My local Toyota dealership is owned by Toyota. Some other ones are just "licensed" to be their official dealerships, so not owned by Toyota.

In US the "licensed" one can decide "well, the car is rare" (and in pandemic that was every car), here is extra 10-20% dealer markup just because we can. In EU, customer would just go to official Toyota one that doesn't do shit like that

Ask HN: What are some funny ways a programming language feature is explained?
In C++ a class can have access specifiers 'public', 'protected' and 'private'. The functions and variables defined under the 'private' section of the class is not accessible to anything outside that class. But there is a feature of the language that makes it possible for a class to specify which other external class or function can access the class' private functions and variables. This feature is called 'friend'. So if a class declares that some other class or function is a friend, then that external class or function is able to access the functions and variables defined under the private section.

To help explain this language feature to newcomers to C++, and help them remember this, a very funny statement is used; and it goes something like this: "Only friends can access/see your private parts".

What other language features are explained in a funny way?
BeFS has file attributes (so you can say this file is an email I received, add from="Bob Smith <b.smith@example.com>", received="2022-11-15") and it can optionally but by default index all these attributes using an on-disk BTree.

Many modern systems do have file attributes, although they're not always as capable as the ones in BeFS, and none of them to my knowledge chose to add all these BTrees because keeping them up-to-date is expensive.
Maybe Copilot did it ;)

Last year, I received emails from a bank I used 10 years ago, asking me to contact them. It turned out they'd been writing to an old address. I thought I'd closed the account, but it had £0.75 in it.

The bank spent much more than that trying to contact me, and I wasted far more time than it was worth closing the account. (They were used to the problem, I asked them to donate the money to charity.)
Worth noting here quickly, after all the (fully deserved by the way) vitriol against paypal and its decades of institutionalized, legally protected crooked practices: The world of web3 and crypto may be full of scams and scammers, but the much older world of normal finance and fintech is fundamentally little different at its core. It's only more stable, better protected legally and has covered its ass under certain laws and regulatory capture with superior lobbying for politicians to look the other way at things that are obviously crooked but legally grey enough that they can be ignored most of the time.

This article resonates with me. However I have one beef. The author goes on to make some fuzzy claims about feeling your whole self, which I take to mean one's physical self, one's body.

But what if your body is failing? Then all you have really to depend on is your mind. I often wonder how Stephen Hawking managed to do such incredible work with such a limited physical existence. To some extent, we all become Stephen Hawking towards the end, unless the end is catastrophically quick.

> That only matters if you're storing it.

Or if you (or something you call) mutate it trough another reference/pointer. Sometimes I wish there was a stronger const where the compiler (and programmer) could actually assume the object is not mutated while that reference/pointer is alive. Of course checking that is no longer doable with just the type system.

> You can't even easily copy your way out.

That depends on the type. std::unordered_maps could provide a copy constructor that does the conversion.

And you can do the copy via iterators, although that is probably not as efficient as it could be because it needs to re-hash the keys.

The study includes vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals and documents respective risks. It spells this out explicitly in the Results paragraph:

"but was lower than the risks after a positive SARS-CoV-2 test before or after vaccination (11.14 [95% CI, 8.64–14.36] and 5.97 [95% CI, 4.54–7.87], respectively)."

And more extensively in summary:

"First, the risk of myocarditis is substantially higher after SARS-CoV-2 infection in unvaccinated individuals than the increase in risk observed after a first dose of ChAdOx1nCoV-19 vaccine, and a first, second, or booster dose of BNT162b2 vaccine. Second, although the risk of myocarditis with SARS-CoV-2 infection remains after vaccination, it was substantially reduced, suggesting vaccination provides some protection from the cardiovascular consequences of SARS-CoV-2. Third, in contrast with other vaccines, the risk of myocarditis observed 1 to 28 days after a second dose of mRNA-1273 vaccine was higher and similar to the risk after infection. Last, vaccine-associated myocarditis was largely restricted to men younger than 40 years with 1 exception; both younger men and women were at increased risk of myocarditis after a second dose of mRNA-1273."

It does so by including "5,934,153 had SARS-CoV-2 infection before or after vaccination."
