How was Gates able to predict the future with so much accuracy and yet still failed to capture the most value from it or better still establish itself as a core player on the internet like Google etc.
One should always come to the dealer with their own financing already approved- because it’s a starting point for negotiation. It’s very common for dealers to find a better APR than you can get independently. It’s also common to bundle discounts/perks with dealer financing. Customer has to do the math to figure out if the deal is good for them.

Dealer GPS tracking and interlocking is usually reserved for “credit criminals” and folks with previous repos.
I'm not sure what exactly you mean - but we typically store DNA sequencing data from people that want us to analyze it, databases of proteins and scientific articles, ML models, etc.
Proper considerations of how to store the data and compress it correctly help a lot, but unfortunately academics are pretty terrible at choosing the right data structures for the job, and often several copies are needed for mirroring the raw data, then the processed versions are updated.
Wasn't this always likely assumed to be some catastrophic space event that just lined up right for us?

On the life speculation part that people enjoy: If you were going to try communicate with the galaxy it seems strange not use an already powerful source in your neighbourhood like a star, then encode your message in blocking that out, perhaps with huge expanding/contracting panels on a satellite.
That's not correct in the slightest - landowners do not control the airspace above their property. That's why municipalities can't ban the use of drones, just their launching and control from their territory.

Even the national park service, which tries to restrict aircraft as much as possible, can only regulate in this way (and to prevent harassing wildlife).

I have a commercial drone license.

Besides the doorbusters, they had limited stocks of rare items too. It'd be like if Best Buy had a sale two years ago on Nvidia GPUs at 40% off retail. So you had the scalpers in the early days of eBay fighting with the parents who needed Christmas presents, on items you couldn't get anywhere else, from Playstations to Tickle Me Elmos.

On second thought, it's probably best that the internet killed it. People are wild.
This will kill the resale value as soon as the possibility to upgrade expires. Why would Mercedes let you buy heated seats for a ten year old car when they could upsell you to lease a new one? Also, does 30$/month subscription make as much sense on a 10k$ car as it did on a 80k$ one?

And yes, this will happen. Just look at how many games are broken already because the servers were shut down and how many cars don't get original parts anymore. I have no confidence that car manufacturers will be better with subscription servers and that's assuming they stay in business, which is not a given (see, for example, Scion and Saab).
Element X is gearing up to be that, fwiw
> If they can offer great prices all year round, why not do it? And if they can’t, then who’s paying for the great deal I’m getting today?

Working at a huge online retailer, I can tell you that the prevalent customer expectation is precisely „greatly reduced prices on black friday“. Even if we offered these reduced prices year round, the expectation would be to offer it even cheaper on Black Friday.
I looked at what apps on Android are doing on my phone yesterday. The amount of info apps are sending to Facebook and Google analytics is just jaw dropping.
Yes the companies are incentivized, and yes they will extract money on resales, and yes your upgrades aren’t transferable. All good reasons to be careful when subscribing to features of this car. It might hurt first sale more than it hurts resale, if people actually care, which could be a good thing.

But I’m not sure the analogy to DLC games works here, you’re talking about DLC value that you purchased above and beyond the initial price of the game. The game itself doesn’t lose resale value, it’s the value of your DLC that doesn’t transfer.

If you want a new electric Mercedes, your choices will be either buy a new one at the new-car price and subscribe to upgrades, or buy a used one at the cheaper used-car price and subscribe to any upgrades you want. Cheaper and upgradeable is still going to be attractive to buyers than more expensive up-front. Part of the deal here is (presumably) that the car was cheaper in the first place than it would have been if the upgrade features were built in and permanent.
Yes, as long as the GPS (Navstar) satellites haven't been vaporized...
Wow. Honestly shocking the difference in money raised/spent.

I bet if you polled the average person, they would guess the exact opposite.
they would if they had the lawyer bandwidth that musk always had.
Quite honestly, an ebike solves a lot of this.

I thought I would never use it in the winter, but a cheap rain suit is perfect to keep me warm and dry, and takes about 20 seconds to put on or take off. I don’t have to worry about sweat since if I get too hot I can just use the throttle or dial up the electric assist.

I thought I would never use the thing in winter, but I actually find it absurdly practical.
This is what Jenkins has been missing for years. Still no viable solution except keeping everything outside of Jenkinsfiles as much as possible.
> So, you think that if pawn shops and the like required thieves to fill out a webform and mail stolen property in to be resold, like on Amazon, then the shop owners would be immune from prosecution? That doesn't seem plausible to me.

Not immune, just saying that the way police traditionally approach stolen property cases basically requires the suspect to be on tape acknowledging receiving stolen property. The reason they do that is because is the law requires them to show knowledge or that a reasonable person would know the property is stolen. Unless they find an email where someone in the company is notified that a seller is selling stolen property and doesn't do anything about they probably don't have a criminal case. What they could do is sue, get a "consent decree" and as part of the settlement force Amazon to implement more rigorous seller identification or something like that. But I doubt any Amazon employees are going to jail over this.
Even American companies in China have a Party cell. This is the law for all companies above a certain size. Those cells do not 'approve all company decisions'.

> Like with most things, any tool is worth what one is able to do with it.

Yes, and given an attacker will not get new capabilities from this data, it is worth nothing.

Any attack that could be feasibly run with a list of nothing but phone numbers associated with some (unknown) WhatsApp account could be done without that list just as easily. That's because of two things: a) phone numbers within a given country are easy to enumerate, b) the WhatsApp account space is dense, i.e. the odds of any legit phone number being used for WhatsApp is high.

> I would not advise to panic, but doing nothing is not exactly great advice either. Some re-assessment of one's current security posture may be warranted.

If you can't formulate a realistic threat from this data, how can you possibly re-evalate your security posture in light of it? You need a threat model for that. Pondering about the security of one's digital life can of course be worthwhile in general, but advising anyone to do so in the context of this linkbait is just advising them to waste their time.

In your Twitter example, the impersonation did not come as a surprise. People were predicting that outcome within minutes of Musk announcing it. Can you make a prediction about what bad things will happen to the people whose phone number is in this dump, compared to people whose phone number isn't there?
> 28mph top speed

please no one buy this. I purchased a vehicle similar to this years ago, and while fun, the top speed was ALWAYS an issue. Even on surface streets, its too slow, so you end up essentially redlining for the entire trip, and even then its too slow. Unless this is purely as second "toy vehicle" for you, don't buy this. Get something that can go at least 40.
Why is the media working so hard to brunt criticism of SBF? Donor status aside, is there any other reason besides money and politics ???
It's interesting that what they actually said was that it's usually the case, and that you provided no counter evidence.
Good for you.

That does not invalidate the point of a mean of transport alternative to big empty cars riding one person each and to bikes, that ride one person each and have no trunk.

Bikes are also more dangerous than small slow 4 wheeled vehicles. Because, you know, bikes don't stand on their own, their braking abilities are very limited due to very thin tyres, they have no stop and turn signals, no rearview mirrors, etc etc

Cars are expensive because of safety devices and regulations, not because a box of metal with an engine could not be built for a couple of thousands euros.

ALSO the subway is much faster than a bike, cost much less and does not interfere with pedestrian walking spaces, I can pay 10 years of public transport with 1,200 euros.

Of course bikers of HN will not like it, but cars are the killer app for private transportation, the ICE engine is an accident, it's their form factor that wins.

Decades of design have been spent on them. while bikes are still the same old two wheelers now with an electric engine, so more like stripped down mopeds, not so great if you ask the majority of people who simply need to move and don't care about the flex.

Please, don't be un parisien.

p.s. I'm a biker and a pedestrian, I drive less than 100km a month, only when I have to and don't own a car since 10 years ago. But Ican't stand the attitude of many bikers that think that if they do it, everybody should or could do it. It's simply wrong.
From what I've seen at a few places I've worked (you'd know the names), regulatory compliance is good enough to make the auditor happy, but that's about it.

This has become a big problem for people in a niche community I participate in - guitar collecting. A lot of people in that community like to buy guitars, use them for a while, then sell them on Reverb or eBay to fund the next purchase. Typically we sell them at a slight loss, because we’ve usually made some kind of improvements like new components or adjustments to the setup.

With the new reporting rules, it’s now far more complicated to do this. You need to have a receipt for each purchase, otherwise you’re on the hook for the tax on the entire amount of the purchase. Problem is, a lot of gear is purchased through face to face cash sales, where no receipt is generated. Or, the gear was purchased so long ago that the receipt is long gone. And if you make any improvements, better hope you have the receipts for all of those, plus some way to figure out how much value to assign to your time, and the patience to either figure all this out on your taxes or the extra money to pay someone else to do it.

It’s just not worth it anymore to sell online. For now, we’ll head back to Craigslist. It’s really a shame because for a while their Reverb really had a neat thing going.

Even companies as large as Uber got strong armed in china. From having traffic shut off completely inside the country without warning (no net neutrality laws) to having to setup an entirely new business in china that didn’t touch the US one.

I have little sympathy and i hope that the Us continues to push restrictions on china tech.
> not in dense cities

The Free2Move car sharing uses the car in the article in central Paris, which I understand is a fairly dense city.
This.. doesn’t answer my question still. Even if data goes to China, how that data is used, what it is, and by what mechanism is what determines whether it’s a threat or not. Why do we continue to use boogiemen when it comes to explaining threats? Why don’t we apply this kind of scaremongering to any data exfiltration to every shady company ever?

Also in your specific reference:

> “Now almost a year later, the devices are still behaving in the same exact way, with standard and basic data collection that pose no security or privacy risk. There has been absolutely no new behavior or change in any of our devices to trigger any concern. We expect Amazon to understand this, and quickly reinstate our devices for sale.”

So, clearly I’m not the only one who wants clear, explanatory, descriptive answers to these threat models.
Effective altruism was hijacked to provide cover for the rich party crowd. Same for many of those charities in Africa, unfortunately.

McConnell is a neocon protecting the swamp. He worked against Trump and for the swamp.

Anecdote that having been on elevators with McConnell, I suspect he was picked on during elementary school recess and spends his decades in DC giving payback.
No, instead they use this radical method called actually identifying the person they're about to give a bunch of cash to instead of trying to pretend a username is a password.
> I'd say the owner of the land that land-locks it gets to within reason decide the route that is permitted

Suppose that the public land is sandwiched between two private owners. Which of those private owners must grant the access?

Worse, suppose that that chunk in the middle wasn't originally public land, but is later purchased by the state. At that point, the previous owners - having done nothing on their own - are suddenly encumbered with a right-of-way across their land, decreasing their value. This sounds like a taking to me, and thus subject to the 5th Amendment. (IANAL)

That's false. Once again there is no "accept" or "continue" button. If you initiate a conversation and couldn't see the profile picture until they replied back it's because you weren't on their contact list and they added you to their contact list using the "add" button.

That's not the same as "accepting" a conversation request like for example it works on facebook.
Teslas look bland, if not horrid, for how much they cost, at least compared to the sedans we're used to in Europe.
They were given the authority last November under the Secure Equipment Act.
I don't even have a driving licence, mostly go by subway / bus or scooter and right now if I go over 20kph on a scooter my face freezes, do you use a bike helmet (full face shield) when it's cold outside or are you just used to it?
Have you read the US constitution? It is very short, easily reeadable in an hour. So if your comment is sincere, you would cite the specific clause of the constitution that you are worried is being violated. There is no such clause.
Not publicly, because they won't step up and answer questions, in public.
So beautiful. Why can't the real world be this way?
When called before congress? That's not accurate, beyond you don't have to, but then pay the price - much like these companies have.
Off grid is getting so much closer to plug and play, and I think it will dovetail with RV-EVs and (highway) self-driving.

Your RV will be likely a PHEV with a big honking battery and some compact generator (those inside-out rotaries look promising, or a fuel cell, even though I'm a major hydrogen skeptic).

It'll have solar on the RV roof, plus a fold-out solar array when parked (doubles as a canopy) that will provide ample power for an off-grid level of lifestyle. The EV battery doubles as a battery backup for the solar, and the PHEV hybrid range extender doubles as a backup generator.

You could even do some sort of fifth wheel + enhanced battery. Big problem with towing in an EV pickup is the range, but that's because we don't typically think about the possibility of the trailer RV having a big battery, and that can be linked to the Pickup truck's battery for enhanced all-electric range.

Communication? Starlink. In the area in the article, you don't even have trees that would intermittently block the satellite tracking.

For longer term offgrid, water collection and sanitation are the big challenges, well, and emergency services.

It's a shame the industry didn't go all-in on PHEVs when hybrids appeared ... TWENTY FIVE YEARS AGO. Five years after the Insight/Prius there should have been a plug in hybrid in every consumer segment, with subsidies to make them cheaper than pure ICE drivetrains. We would have likely electrified 60-90% of daily drive trips.

I still think an aggressive PHEV policy should complement policies for EV adoption, but I doubt automakers will invest in new hybrid drivetrains, given the choice of the massive engineering switch to EV drivetrain and a new hybrid drivetrain, most will just go EV and limp along with whatever legacy ICE drivetrains they have in the meantime.

Especially CEOs get fired if they don't adopt EV drivetrains. Hell they get fired if they don't switch over fast enough (see: VW).
Extraordinary Scale: Meet the Titanosaur
Ironically very little of the $ seems to be propagating back to Matrix itself…
Yep. CI systems offer some extra features. If you don't use them there isn't really a lock in.

From the top of my head:

1. Parallelization.
2. Capture of build artifacts, which can also be useful for logs of non-linear complex tests such as dependencies of e2e tests.
3. Secrets for release or artifact uploads to third party repos (e.g. docker repos)
4. Caching.

There may be more. Once you sprinkle these things left and right in your CI config, it becomes hard to move to another, even if the bulk of the actual tests you run are just "make test"
If and when I can't ride (which I suspect will be never, since it's an ebike and my parents, whi are both in their nineties, still occasionally ride non-electric bikes), then I will find something else. It's not like the ebike is a huge investment that nails me for life...
While this is, of course, a racist counterargument, it is also correct. Doing research without a activist agenda is now a political stance. The sooner neutrals realise this the better
The correct way to describe his experiment should be:

Of course I/O is the slowest, but it is fast enough to let most of the programmers not able to fully utilize it.
"It seems people are never thinking what happens if he is getting old"

You really think, that we people who do drive bicycles, do not think about cold and rain? We are the first to notice it first hand. So we do think about it, as we have to regulary deal with it.

The solution is adequate clothing.

But yes, I also own a car as I do not live somewhere with good public transport system. And I do know people who ride a bike in their 70s, but I am aware, that there will likely come a time, when I will be indeed too old for riding in the winter. But chances are, that by then I am also so fragile, that I might be too old for save driving also. Hopefully self driving is ready by then.
Sure, but smaller EU-resident providers could do hosting for companies.

Landlords would be a net benefit if land were, for them, a liability rather than an asset. They would be paid for providing a service rather than monopolizing a natural resource.

Roughly 60-80% of your rent is a tithe to the owner of a 4 billion year old chunk of dirt. Dirt made valuable by all of the humans surrounding it.

People who provide valuable services like teaching, serving food, providing medicines, etc. People who get a 0% of your rent but who nonetheless will drive it up if they do their jobs really well.
The solution to urban mobility is less cars, not different cars than we have now.

The arrogance and dogmatized manifestation of the motorized individual transport in our society knows no limits.
You want some 70 year old guy driving a car in your city in the snow? People outlive their ability to drive a car by 5-10 years. If you build a city that welcomes and requires cars, and discourages biking and walking, you are dooming the elderly to spending the ends of their lives at home.
Interesting. My weekend memory is not too notch, but I kinda recall that if something/someone owns more than 10% of a bank then it becomes it's high holder (top holder?) for ffiec/Frb purposes and then starts popping up in a lot of reports (y9c etc)
A normal AC is a heat pump, but lots are not reversible.

Especially in cars, it's a very recent development in some EVs: on an ICE, the ICE provides the heating so a reversible AC is just more complexity for no gain.
the problem of AGPL for Matrix is that it would have likely impeded uptake significantly. But yes, it’s something we’ve considered.

I was a member of various bulletin boards over the years, and most of them died out. I'm not talking about these: (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulletin_board_system). I'm talking about PHP based boards such as Invision, phpBB, vBulletin, etc

Over time the admins just grew old and cranky and probably ran out of pocket money to keep the boards alive as they grew over time. The only surviving ones alive today are funded by donations. Also with things like Reddit, Discord, Fakebook etc means much of the conversation has shifted onto those platforms, and they're 'free' so there's no maintenance costs to worry about.
