Oof, my experience with with auto-brake in a 2021 Subaru Crosstrek (anecdotal, sample size of one, all that good stuff) is much the opposite. It's too sensitive and tends to brake shockingly hard during fairly mundane maneuvers.

When backing up near a wall/obstacle, the auto-brake seems to kick in when anything is closer than three or four feet away from the bumper. I use my mirrors and have an accurate impression of where the four corners of the vehicle are - I don't need the computer slamming on the brakes when I am reversing in a tight spot. It feels _more_ dangerous and I fear that one day, my knee-jerk reaction will be to fight the machine (press the gas harder, or get distracted looking at the console which emits lights and sounds every single time auto-brake kicks in) and wind up wrecking with even more force than I might have otherwise.

Also, in traffic, I'll often take my foot off the gas and coast/idle, letting the vehicle slow down naturally. I try to do this instead of braking sometimes as I believe it assists with keeping the flow of traffic predictable for others. Usually this is no problem because I follow the next person at a safe distance.

Sometimes, while decelerating as described above, I will allow the distance between myself and the next car to close, for example, if they're turning and will be gone in a second anyway. The Subaru then ruins my slowdown maneuver by slamming on the brakes because it thinks I'm approaching the vehicle ahead of me too quickly. Well, yes, maybe, but they're also halfway out of the lane already so it's not terribly significant that I'm closing the distance. Another half-second and they'll be gone, restoring my follow distance. (This has only happened once or twice but I imagine it gives the person behind me quite the unnecessary shock.)

I wish there was a way to fine-tune the sensitivity, or at least an option to say "I am an attentive driver, please switch auto-brake to a lower sensitivity level." Currently the only option is to disable it each time the engine starts, which feels wrong to do...

You can say the same for Swift. But just like with C++, you can always stick to simpler and smaller subset and make great things with it.

I have tried this setting multiple times, but it doesn't do what I expect it to. I just tried it again on my wife's iPhone 12. I set the default page zoom to 200% and opened one of my regular sites (tweakers.net (Dutch)). When opening an article the content is zoomed in. When I pinch-zoom out the text size is small again.

On Chrome (Android) whenever I set the font size to 200% the behavior is more or less the same as on desktop. So the content is zoomed in and text sizes are huge. On iOS Safari Reader Mode works the way I expect to, but I find this a bit of a faff to use.
There’s also Orion, at least on Mac. It hasn’t replaced my daily driver (Brave), but I’ve been using it as a ‘container’ of sorts for LinkedIn and have found it to be pretty good.

Brave currently has vertical tabs as a flag-enable-able option, and if they add tree hierarchy, I probably won’t switch. But if not, I’ll likely move to Orion, which has been working well for me.

Certainly.

But WMF's banners begging for donations strongly imply otherwise. It's deceptive.
That's just hilarious

> And C++ is called "cpp".

But that isn't for searchability but due to + not being permitted in names in some filesystems, or being rejected by some tools even where they are valid in filenames in the current environment, so file.c++ wasn't a good idea.

The ability to find things in a global search engines was not the concern that it can be today back in the early 80s when C++ was named, so this is not really a like-for-like comparison, and anyway a quick test in common search tools shows that searching for C++ seems to work well enough.
It doesn't sound like mocking scams, it sounds like mocking people not putting money where their mouth is. A lot of people already promoting "defi" are keeping their funds on centralized exchanges. Why? They still provide a performance edge and more features, but if all you need is basic trading, they should be being utilized even more.

DeFi has no fiat gateway though, that's the biggest bottleneck. The gateway is the centralized exchanges, and I think people tend to park their money on them once they deposit/convert their dollars.
> As part of the SDN List entry for Tornado Cash, OFAC included as identifiers certain virtual currency wallet addresses associated with Tornado Cash, as well as the URL address for Tornado Cash’s website.

Treasury says that originally the website itself was OFAC sanctioned.

With the redesignation:

> Similarly, U.S. persons would not be prohibited by U.S. sanctions regulations from visiting the Internet archives for the Tornado Cash historical website, nor would they be prohibited from visiting the Tornado Cash website if it again becomes active on the Internet.

Now, it is not illegal to access the website.

https://home.treasury.gov/policy-issues/financial-sanctions/...

The scope was narrowed in overt ways as clearly stated above, and for those of us closely following this story, there was a lot of worry that various people involved in Tornado Cash would have serious legal liability. That has been radically reduced.
Well, there is money on the line. Lots of money based on the statements linked in parents post. If I were to read it cynically, I would comment that someone, who was expecting to see a donation did not so they decided to start an all out information war with Wiki over this.

That said, even if cherry picked, the example provided is sufficiently damning for me to refrain from donating if it was determined to be true ( I am not a donor to that cause so I have no horse here ).

<<Feels like there must be more to the story..

I agree with this wholeheartedly. There is a concerted effort to go after Wiki for one reason or another. The situation they find themselves in is not new, but has only recently became an issue in public eye. And I am saying this as a person, who is leaning towards saying 'Wiki does not NEED more money; other charities should get a slice'.

Telephony backbones are, for the most part, just SIP. When I say they’re IP based I mean they’re not old school POTS loops anymore.

It might have cost 2500 per area code when that was a requirement and you had to set these up loops up manually across longer distances, but nowadays it literally is just going to be a mapping in a computer, like any other.
How does it make composing classes hard? Genuinely curious what the exact difficulty here is.

For the record, I don’t follow how the cascade applies in the context of an element declaring multiple CSS classes, as their precedence is defined by the order they first appear in CSS.

If the problem seems to be in how descendant elements’ classes compose the cascade, maybe the affected styles could be scoped less broadly?

Also, the @layer syntax seems to obviate this issue: simply define your typography on a different cascade layer separate from your container boxes and whatnot.
> who will pay

The person hitting you from behind would be at fault anyway, at least where I live you are required to keep enough distance to stop even for no apparent reason, if driving in a lane and not moving to another.

If you do it whilst moving in front of another car as it could be on you as you are required to yield and leave enough space to not hinder or endanger the driving of the other vehicle. This also includes brake-checks as your obligation to yield does not stop after you have merged into another highway lane and continues for an unspecified amount of time.

So there should not be an issue there, only problem is people can and will not understand the stopping distance of a car driving 100+kph and do not leave enough space. YMMV with respect to the laws involved as it's entirely possible you could be at fault at the place you are living.
The title came from the BBC News front-page link to the article that I copy-pasted since the article's own title is so vague!

See the current (2022-11-15) Features and Analysis sub-section at

https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment_and_arts

Being as the article is on the BBC I suppose they expect the context to be understood :)
The title is a tiny bit misleading. Here are the stats from the article:

Automatic braking has demonstrated the ability to:

- reduce rear-end automobile crashes "in half" (technically 49%)

- reduce Rear-end crashes with injuries by 53%

- vehicles without automatic braking, but with collision warnings only cut accidents by 16% (compared to 49% with automatic braking)

- pickup trucks are less effective at preventing crashes, only preventing 43% of accidents and reducing injuries by 42% (compared to above numbers for other vehicles)

- lane departure systems reduce crashes by 8% and reduce injuries by 7%

- A consortium of 20 auto manufactures have voluntarily committed to offering automatic braking technology to 95% of their light-duty models during the 2023 model year
Founding multiple big successful companies in nascent industries that had been starved of capital before is a unique AND big achievement.

Nobody cheers on Bezos because of Blue Origin. They praise him for building Amazon when e-commerce was still new (or when dot coms had gone out of favor).

Same with Musk. There are multiple major private space ventures now. Ever car company has a heavily funded EV division. When Musk started, EVs were considered a joke and private space tech had little to no capital.

Musk is unique because he put his money into industries no big money would touch before him.
I completely agree that you shouldn't have to do it for fun, but I'd say A) it's still possible to balance 'code as a hobby' and the other parts of your life and B) I think OP's comment is more about having a much larger skill gap because you're spending more time practicing and exploring things outside your typical work things. It really sets you apart from your peers and helps you be more valuable to your peers. This is how I got my current job, exploring interesting ideas while working my previous one.

And this is exactly the problem everyone has had with Wikipedia's WMF-fundraising messages for years.

The goal of this is to be able to act as moral gatekeepers similar to what we see religious leaders do. Anybody who positions themselves as arbiters of morality (past or present) can be discounted immediately. Morality changes across time and cultures, so anybody seeking to impose their morality standards today can be ignored like the loons they are.

Nobody cares if the person who invented the chair, tortured puppies in their free time. It doesn't change the history of the invention, nor the utility of it. It's just a way for unimportant, unaccomplished people to farm digital reputation through virtue signaling.

Very foolish to use benchmarking as marketing. Yes, it is very convenient (as a .NET fanboy I appreciate to have something where .NET is outperforming others) but hack, the next framework can just outperform you while you do your presentation, complain about your implementation strategies or you have or have not cheated enough.

Write "fast". That is good enough. No comparison needed. The platform benchmark hits hardware limits, the fortunes hits numbers no one of us can code meaningful database/resource interactions against and no one from us wants to use barebone middleware for responses.

> why you felt the need to make a comment just to make yourself look smart.

I hardly think it made me look smart. It's borderline trivial. The parent comment was insanely reductive in the stadnard HN style. I was hoping to help reduce the appearance of future such comments.

Sibling comments indicate that it had no positive effect. Such is life.
Oh what a fun question!

So, the first thing is, what's the essential difficulty versus the noise: Lisp has two features which enable the evaluator to work. The first is quotation, which means that you can put a little apostrophe before some code and then it saves that code as a data structure, rather than implicitly evaluating it. The second goes by the overfancy name “homoiconicity”, that data structure is actually just singly linked list consumed by “car” (“first”) and “cdr” (“rest”) operations.

You can focus on understanding those two aspects pretty quickly, and then there are many tutorials about building your own Lisp that will get you there in an afternoon, if you'd like.

Or, you can take the royal road to this expression, in all of its cheesy 1980s glory:

There's an even bigger difference between donating and pledging to donate.

Salame donated $26.4M to individual GOP politicians and another $2-3M to GOP political organization.

SBF donated $39.8M to Democratic politicians and organizations.

Not all that different.

The $1B pledge was realistically never going to happen, just as his offer to loan Musk $3B to buy Twitter was never going to happen. Even in the best of times he never would have been able to extract that kind of real money from his operation within a short time.
> So I guess all this infrastructure also allows Apple to pinpoint down any user worldwide -- even if they're off-grid.

Well, they could do that in the past - GPS works (almost) everywhere. They'd just have to wait with sending the data back.
I’m with you on the functional browser. I switched to Chrome for work because of how it does tab groups natively. I manage around 300 on-prem hosts, and I manage K8s and shit in two clouds, all with a fairly low rate of automation.

So I’ve got tabs open for managing VMWare, Foreman, two monitoring systems, two cloud providers, gsuite, and about eight spreadsheets at all times because that’s how we track assets and do IPAM. That’s like 20+ tabs that I bounce between all day long. I’m not going to use bookmarks to navigate this, I want a max of two clicks to get to the right tab. And so Chrome’s tab groups solve my problem perfectly.

Also, in my defense, since automating things and deploying an ITAM tool is kinda my job, I started here less than a year ago. My predecessors were let go when a new manager came in and found out that the Linux env was ridiculously insecure, and then they refused to make the env comply with some of the most basic security guidelines (like security patching more than twice a year). Then my counterpart left for a better job after three months, so I’ve been left alone to support an infrastructure that’s falling down around itself while also trying to secure and enhance it (i.e. rebuild everything).

> It seems like courts have said the tribe needs

Exhibit A of something that wouldn't apply to all tribes the same because they are too different. Some are more sovereign than others in some aspects. There is nothing uniform about the concept of indigenous lands, but the arbitrage comes from everyone treating them as an amorphous group. Even the most progressive and inclusive people do this, but fortunately it just comes down to reading comprehension. If you can read or are willing to read, you'll find some unchallenged and interesting thing you might be willing to pursue. You likely will have to go to the area to find what to read though, "area" because I'm not willing to call them all "tribes".
I just bought a 2023 Crosstrek and haven't really noticed it kicking on too aggressively, it does beep sometimes. The only time I get annoyed is when its in adaptive cruise control and someone is merging off the highway it will think they are slowing a lot but its clear they will be out of the way.
The same amount that did when the cellphone was invented, when Selective Availability was turned off, when the safety match was invented, when the chronometer was invented....

> I'm assuming you don't have the answers, I certainly don't.

Yeah you do: this is all in their financial reports. You can see exactly what it costs and what is needed. (Presumably that's what everyone reads before deciding to believe a random cry for money in an online banner ad.)

The costs for servers (with developers/admins that maintain them) are a tiny tiny fraction of the income. I'm fully in favor of also funding further development instead of only maintenance, but just look at the kind of things that more than half of the money goes to.

I last looked at this 2-3 years ago but simply from the fact that they're still collecting even more money annually than they already did 3 years ago (and the banners are more obnoxious if nothing else), they apparently have decided to do the opposite of starting to spend more appropriate and sustainable amounts.
I justified it, at length, in the above comment by pointing out how little real information there was in the article about what had actually happened to BTX and Alameda.

I did not say anything about "new investigative journalism". I said it was not news reporting.

The claim that is is entertainment journalism is very simple. This type of piece is written, not to inform, but to entertain. That's why it focusses on color and character, while missing basic story details - the 5 W's, any overview of how the bankrupt businesses worked, etc. Such pieces are often designed to give the impression of information, because this impression is part of the entertainment experience. You can easily find decent and free writing on this topic which provides way better analysis and is generally accurate and honest.

As you have probably noticed, stories about scams and frauds are a very big business, and articles about them are now part of a well-worn pipeline by which books, movies and mini series are made. Very few of these have any commitment either to accuracy in general or to useful information about why such scams are possible, why they are socially important, or how they can be stopped. They exist merely to entertain and titillate. A writer like the author of this piece, will be aware that they are part of this machine, and that there is lots of career advancement to be made in writing fluff about grifters, particularly in a way which tends to get you closer to other grifters.

Wikipedia is not news reporting either. Not sure of your point, however note that the wikipedia page about Sam Bankman-Fried, while shorter than the NYT article, contains vastly more detailed information about his career, and has 85 citations to its sources.
