Because individuals rarely have the choice here in the US. Our schools here require the use of Google accounts in a manner which is almost certainly illegal, but isn't enforced anyways. My kids privacy is mandatorily violated because of a decision of the school district. So I have to hope regulators here will wise up and start to force schools to abandon harmful products.

So what you think of as freedom of choice often isn't for students, employees, and consumers. It's why we need drastically more business regulation to guarantee individual rights.
I like the way this car looks (and I’m not a particular fan of how the Tesla models look).

> "we can do it, you can't"

Yes, exactly. The US knows full well how powerful that sort of control and access is, and other countries are (apparently) ok with that. The implicit social contract in the West is that the US maintains global peace anyway.

Obviously the US (and other countries) do not have similar levels of trust and cooperation with China, hence these sort of responses.

I suspect that something like this is running already on scripts and vfx and that explains some of the really mediocre content from Netflix, Disney, etc (ie, “they don’t make ‘em like they used to”).
This is an account that literally reposts stuff that liberals on tik tok are creating.

>Just on earth for example, television transmitters are constantly broadcasting a very high power signal on all kinds of different frequencies.

These are isotropic radio emissions, and would not be discernible from background radiation at more than a lightyear or so away from Earth, since its intensity diminishes as the inverse square of distance.

>What you are looking for is emissions unrelated to intergalactic communications. The hypothesis is almost every civilization should have a huge emission pattern all over the practically usable RF spectrum.

This communication would likely be via directed radio emissions (e.g. the Wow! Signal or Arecibo Message), which we could only pick up if our detector were perfectly aligned with the source at the exact time the transmission arrives. Because of that inverse square law, it would be an enormous waste of power to communicate via isotropic radio emissions.
Considering that cars are becoming a bunch of electric motors controlled by a computer, I'm thinking that even without subscriptions we're going to see identical hardware sold as 2 different performance models with the only difference being a sotfware flag. Car manufacturers are extremely good at streamlining production.

I think it's Tesla that started with Autopilot and now others are also experimenting.

In the case of subscriptions, obviously the resale value will become based on base configuration without options with the buyer then hopefully able to get the subscriptions they want.

> Before 2022, the federal Form 1099-K reporting threshold was for taxpayers with more than 200 transactions worth an aggregate above $20,000. However, Congress slashed the limit as part of the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, and a single transaction over $600 may now trigger the form.

> Aimed at closing the tax gap — a top priority of the Biden administration — the provision is estimated to bring in $8.4 billion from fiscal year 2021 to 2031, according to the Joint Committee on Taxation.

Here is the JCT document: https://www.jct.gov/publications/2021/jcx-14-21/

It shows that this $8.5B tax revenue increase is for the 10-year period of 2021-2031, ie, $850M per year. It's at VIII 4. Modification of exceptions for reporting of third party network transactions.

So for a mere $850M/year in new tax revenue, the government is going to require millions (my guess) of people to have to deal with a new tax form. And these 1099's are likely to be very inaccurate. People use eBay all the time to sell personal shit they no longer want, and now they will be getting a 1099 for those sales. Selling $600 of crap around the house is not taxable income: you sure as hell didn't get to take a tax deduction when you bought the junk!

This won't at all address cash-based payments, like for handymen. But I think it's being put in place now, so that when they eventually shove digital currency down our throat, all those cash payments will be tracked and taxed. You may not pay a handyman $20K/year, but might easily pay him more than $600.

Who's closing the tax gap for the ultra rich? They don't seem to be as hard at work on that.
Except the machine world in Tron has never been presented as emotionless or sexless. The plot of Tron 2 literally involves a budding romance between the protagonist and a hot computer girl. The franchise's lack of overt sexuality is due more to it being a Disney property than anything, but they didn't hire Olivia Wilde for her acting skills.

Plus, one could imagine the Jodorowsky version of Tron simply making different editorial decisions. It isn't as if fetishizing technology is unheard of - it was HR Giger's entire thing, and it goes back all the way to Metropolis.

Obviously this wasn't the result of a conscious application of vision, but it could very well have been.

It's not a small price, but it's less expensive than minicar like Ligier.
It's ugly because it was made to be as cheap as possible. For example, the "passenger" side door is the same door as the driver side, so the driver's door opens like a suicide door, while the passenger one opens like a conventional door.

All elements of the car were made to be as perfectly symmetrical as possible and interchangeable.

The so-called abomination has a hope of driving poorer people from A to B, while your beauty pageant Tesla remains a car for the wealthy. Because for all the talks about environmentalism from Musk, he has never cared about that. He has never cared about bringing cheaper green transportation to the larger public. It's all about wealth.
It isnt really public land. It's government land. And it's reachable by the government, its owner.

You may have a better insight into this, but could you elaborate a little further?

For example, I can see some heavily digitized countries suffer( Germany, Estonia ), but not all of them seem that independent of paper documentation.

I agree that especially in the case of eyes it distracts a bit. Those are generally pretty symmetrical (I say, with one eye that is always a bit narrower compared to the other ^^)

Almost all consumer electronics are made at these Chinese manufacturers. Only the high-end chips are from Taiwan, South Korea, or Arizona.

I'm software engineer at a Danish company that also manufactures a lot of industrial electronics. Our insight is that China is still the cheapest place to manufacture PCBs but it is surprisingly more efficient to setup pick-and-place robots here in Denmark to place the components onto the PCBs. The pick-and-place machines and assembly robots run all night now.

If we can figure out how to efficiently print the PCBs in Denmark/EU we will no longer have any critical reliance on China.
I think that if the people of 1600s Salem saw modern paganism, they would see little difference. Of course they would also not react well to all manner of aspects of our multi-faith culture. I dare say that most HN readers would be liable for blasphemy of some sort. If held to 17th century standards of Christian behavior, most all of us are probably deserving of some variation of the death penalty.

The “speed is safety” bit is probably a lot more obvious to motorcyclists but applies to everyone on the road, even if the situations are less likely. Imagine some road eager tries to pit maneuver you but you’re able to accelerate away and they miss. Or you’re not able, and you end up dead.

I hope the people who designed/developed do not have clean consciouses.
Let's take this idea seriously for a moment. First, it's been done: WebOS. Didn't work. And even WebOS needed a native-API userland for on-device functions like being a phone.

Secondly, web apps are very useful. Google was right to make their productivity software and other apps web-based. But even when you run these apps in Google's own browser, you get UX travesties, like two menu bars. Subjectively, user interaction is never as good as in native apps. This is just the web app version of the "native vs cross-platform" app implementation decision. Being cross platform is useful but never quite as slick.

I use (Neo)Vim which only has minimal Lisp support built in. I started using Parinfer and it made a huge positive impact on my experience writing Lisp. It would probably be less impactful if I already had a good workflow and keyboard shortcuts that I liked.

But Parinfer is particularly nice in that it makes not just editing easy, but also refactoring, which historically was one of my big annoyances with s-expressions.

Maybe Paredit has features for that too, but I didn't use it (the Vim port) long enough to learn its ins and outs.

Ask HN: Recommend book(s) or course(s) on modern front end dev for back end guy
I'd never thought it would come to this, but after spending the last ~15 years on the backend (mostly the JVM and all kinds of languages, not just Java, actually, mostly not Java!). I'm now assigned on a project which has a React frontend, and I will be taking over it soon.

Now my Javascript knowledge dates back to the days when variables were hoisted (is that still a thing btw?), and URLs started with "http://". Oh, and any time I had to "compile" (???) frontend code I was always shocked about the immaturity of the ecosystem... We had JSP and even JSF, and NodeJS was in its infancy and looked down upon by the "serious" guys. So there is quite a bit of ground to cover.

What I would like to have: a few books or courses about modern Javascript, Typescript, browsers, development tools, libraries, that can quickly get me up to speed. For example, on the backend we have this thing called the IO monad - is Javascript still a land of callback hell? Also would appreciate info on React, Angular and Vue (I think these are the most common frameworks?).

I'm also primarily interested in learning the important things. I'm a quick learner and I don't really need stuff that I can easily search for on the net - BUT I do need to know WHAT to search for.

What I do NOT need: books on theory, algorithms, books for beginners, books for dummies, books on functional programming, books on <pick your style of programming>, books on web design or color harmonies (no, I will not be designing stuff!)...

Why I am asking: I could just start reading books randomly, and it usually takes ages to find out of a 100 books the roughly 10 that are good, and about 1 or 2 that are spectacular. I am looking for those. Thank you. I'm also happy to pay for online courses, if they are worth it (I still remember Martin Odersky's FP/Scala course on Coursera from ~10 years ago, which I thought at the time was one of the best, and was worth every minute I spent on it).

PS. I heard about "Javascript - the good parts", which I'm definitely going to check out, but man, that book is 14 years old now! How much of it is still relevant I wonder.
Yeah it's definitely a better pattern, I hope more companies create something like it. I think I heard Apple is doing something similar maybe? I seem to recall Fastmail has one too, pretty sure I saw it in the bitwarden settings last I went in there.

You're assuming that cosmic background radiation is uniformly distributed. It is not.

TV transmissions are most definitely not isotropic for any commercial installation. They use directional antennas to avoid sending power directly down into the earth for example.

I'm not even aware of a single commercial radio installation with anything approximating an isotropic pattern.
What if countries had to compete for citizens?
Cheap EVs aren’t profitable. If you want to make them cheap, supply chains must spin up to drive down costs, not sell lip stick on a pig death traps.

This is not Musk specific. Legacy automakers can’t bring cheap EVs to market that compete with Teslas either. They are glorified golf carts because they must be. Cheap out on batteries and motors and your warranty reserves and costs are exorbitant and destroy profitability, so you cheap out on fit and finish (Tesla does, and demand is still…robust) or safety (not great!). Go Google for what the Porsche Taycan battery warranty requires for it to remain in effect, and this is a premium vehicle supposedly.

Regarding “it’s all about wealth”, let’s set aside who Musk is for a moment and reflect on a $1B global dc fast charger network (“Superchargers”) and an EV manufacturing flywheel that continues to ramp (approaching 3 million units built and sold pa), together which has convinced major nation states to enact or pull forward their new vehicle combustion vehicle sales bans. Someone can be a pathological liar and greedy and yet have moved the needle. Tesla’s board recognized that he was irreplaceable, and that’s likely true. Obsessive people are motivated but there are costs personality wise.

High level, let’s recalibrate Tesla to not be just Elon Musk. Consider that he brought the funding, he ran the ship through the storm, but humble JB Straubel was the CTO and was a significant component in Tesla’s success (wrt battery engineering and manufacturing), along with countless decent, passionate engineers and ancillary roles over two decades. Tesla =! Musk. There is nuance.

(Tesla is building their own lithium refinery in Texas to drive down battery costs; point me to an automaker that is doing the same, they can barely source batteries at the scale they need)
The cheapest EVs and the most expensive bicycles overlap in price. Not exactly sure what that means, but it's interesting to me.
Yeah, when I was there I saw plenty of <1% optimizations saving REDACTED gobs of money, and people were rewarded for it. I don't think it's applicable to most teams though.

Imagine a foo/bar/widget app that only serves 20B people (obvious exaggeration to illustrate the point) and is only necessary up to a few hundred times per day. You can handle that sort of traffic on a laptop on my home router and still have enough hootzpah left to stream netflix. I mean, you are Google, and you need to do something better than that [0], but the hardware for your project is going to be negligible compared to other concerns unless you're doing FHE or video transcoding or something extraordinarily expensive.

Walk that backward to, how many teams have 20B users or are doing extraordinarily expensive things? I don't have any clue, but when you look at public examples of cheap things that never got much traction and probably had a suite of engineers [1], I'd imagine it's not everyone in any case. You're probably mostly looking at people with enough seniority to be able to choose to work on core code affecting most services.

I haven't read that Asimov story. However, I suppose the core question is this: from a neurological perspective, is learning factual information different from learning a skill?

I'm inclined to believe it's not, because we're actually pretty bad at rote memorization. We usually need to understand the memory—how it can be used, or why it's important. Professionals construct "mental palaces", effectively building artificial meaning.

> And you don't need to have any form of licence to drive one in France!

FWIW, that's wrong: only people born before 1985 ~ (i don't know the exact date) don't need any license. People born after that do require a license, which is much much lighter than standard driving license in France, but still requires several hours (I think it takes a whole day?), which I think is equivalent to what actual driving license in some countries.
If by yesterday you mean decades ago, then yes, hackers could do what they wanted because software protection was minimal both in software and hardware; time and skills were what they needed most. Today every piece of software and hardware that doesn't come explicitly as FOSS is a black box that would require all the above, in addition to more expensive gear for reverse engineering or brute force attacks on encryption, therefore being a very talented techie might not be enough anymore, hence the need to ask to those in power for a change.

Any tips on electron build tools to secure Electron apps that have proprietary logic like this seems like it would have? I saw your posts and was curious since this seems like it would have a lot of proprietary JS to protect against cracking.

I'm working towards releasing my first Electron app now and this has been a concern for me.
