It really depends on how "model" is being classified.

You think of a Honda Civic as a "model". But Honda has the Civic Sedan, the Civic Sedan Si, the Civic Hatchback, and the Civic Type R. All-in-all, Honda has 13 different "models" listed on their US page. We can assume most other major manufacturers follow suit.

Then some of them may be broken down even further into more ultimately meaningless categories. Yes, the Civic Type R STX Bayonetta Dragon Hyper Ultimate Vroom Vroom edition may be a different "model", but all I see is Civic with too many fucking qualifiers.

And all of them will be using the same base infotainment package. Which isn't ultimately a big deal. You'd want some sort of consistency between your vehicles. Except when there's an issue like this. Then not one model, but every model has an issue.
So you mean like every car company ? The parts are available for at least 15 years, they are making a bank on replacement compared to margins on new cars (pre-covid)

Subarus are probably most plug and play but that's because they are small company that build same car for last 20 years... and not exactly super reliable. For example those [1] crazy bastards swapped whole manual gearbox and engine to a different model (that's auto-only) of Subaru and it even had pre-made holes for stuff that automatic gearbox car doesn't have in the first place, cos they used same subframe parts.

I enjoy videos on the self driving space and Tesla's technical (not business) approach to it. Its produced results that were actually quite a bit better than I expected at this stage.

I still regularly see videos of Tesla's beta software attempting to pull out into traffic in situations that clearly could have very bad outcomes. I still see so much phantom braking that its a collision risk.

I wouldn't call it dangerous, in the sense that it is done well enough that the person at the wheel should be able to handle it, but it'd crash a lot without an attentive driver.

Its a long way from 99% reliability at this point.
Well, most importantly IMO, after having been caught cheating online multiple times more than the cases he had admitted to.
"Online chess", and "online chess for money" aren't the same either.

I'd say the "for money"/not, vs "online"/not is a more significant factor.

I mean, if someone shows they're willing to cheat for prize money in online games, I'd be surprised to hear that they'd have qualms about cheating for money in an OTB game.

they don't need to pay more, talented people love the work and will do it at a lower price.

I got to witness an accident where a helmet would have made a huge difference for the cyclist. A lady was cycling at fairly low speed on a street that had old rails, then her front wheel apparently got stuck in a rail and she fell over and got a pretty serious looking head injury. Several of us in cars pulled over, called 911, and waited till the ambulance arrived and told them what happened. I have no idea what happened to her in the end, but she was unconscious and bleeding profusely from her her. She was not wearing a helmet, as you might surmise.

My wipeout: I heard a chink behind me, and thought I had dropped my keys, so I looked over my shoulder. I lost control, and my face hit the road. Not my head, my chin.

I got three stiches in my chin. I lost two teeth; one was driven through my lip, and I had 13 stiches in that lip (there are three layers in a lip: outer skin, muscle, inner skin). I needed two root-canals. I fractured my mandible, which is now joined to the maxilla on only one side. I was concussed, and wound up sleeping about 15 hours a day for the next 3 months. I couldn't chew for ages.

A motorbike helmet might have helped; but not a bicycle helmet.
There's a good difference between the two things, actually.

What I believe this Lawsuit is alleging is that CVS promised ADA that they would give them $10m, and CVS is saying that customer donations are part of that $10m.

The other aspect is the tax aspect. What people are concerned about is that a company is profiting off their "donation" which cannot happen, even if they are merely reimbursing themselves.

* Company donates $10 and so does not have to pay the income tax
* Customer donates $10 through company. This is $10 of income to the company, which requires the income tax.

In such a scenario, the company gets no financial benefit - though they may get a social benefit in what they're claiming to donate
The ideal rocket equation isn't about the mechanism a thing uses to move; it's fundamentally a thermodynamic equation to describe how far you can get (inverse of a pork-chop plot) when you're fighting against a continuous decelerating force (gravity is one kind, but drag is another; there is no requirement that these forces be constant, decreasing-with-distance, or have any other particular curve), given 1. the energy you have available to accelerate with, and 2. how much mass you lose per watt expended.

The convenient thing about the ideal rocket equation as an genericized mental model, is that (solid-propellant) rockets are themselves the ideal movers; "throwing stuff out the back" is the ideal/optimal way to accelerate something; rockets always use the most energy-dense propellants we know of; and thus rockets also spend the most mass per watt as they burn. This means that rockets (and the ideal rocket equation) provide an upper bound on achievable delta-V that no other propulsion mechanism can exceed. You can think of any other propulsion mechanism as a kind of worse rocket—something that is shifted forward on the the ideal rocket equation curve, and/or has a higher exponent for the curve, such that it "goes exponential" (becomes impractical) in fuel requirements sooner than a rocket would.

The rocket equation is a useful and relevant model for understanding e.g. the amount of bunker fuel needed for a sailing of a trans-atlantic container ship, because 1. a container ship is overcoming continuous drag through the water, and 2. a container ship's fuel makes up a non-negligible percentage of its weight and therefore changes its drag; and 3. a container ship spends its fuel (becomes lighter / more fuel-efficient!) as it moves. The fuel requirements of a container ship can "go exponential" just like a rocket's can—though, given the energy-density of the fuel they currently use, other practical considerations (like decreased buoyancy from increased mass causing them to scrape the bottoms of shallow shipping channels) put limits on ship carrying capacity before the rocket equation does. With a less energy-dense energy-storage medium, e.g. batteries, this would not necessarily be true.

Land vehicles are still governed by the ideal rocket equation — they move through the atmosphere just like anything else, and at any speed above ~10mph, they spend energy mostly to overcome drag rather than ground friction. (Remember, a tire is a flywheel!) There is a reason that a motorcycle can take you further than a car can on the same amount of gas, and that reason can best be modelled not by the fuel efficiency of the motor, but rather by the ideal rocket equation.

Vehicles relying on batteries lose no mass as they move (with oxide formulations, they gain mass!), so they're always going to be worse than vehicles with liquid-fuel engines at overcoming drag. So they're going to be worse "ideal rockets", and "go exponential" in fuel requirements, at lower ideal-delta-V cutoffs than vehicles with liquid-fuel engines will.
Would a way to test this hypothesis be to switch garbage-collecting algorithm?
I get your point and things are nuanced depending on the situation.

But the amount of control this tracking can create is potentially evil. We have to be careful with this.

I'd rather work for less and keep control than doing this. But what this is going to generate is massive govt. control. Worse than before. Not telling about India specifics though.
One big thing I've learned in my tech career is to embrace new tech instead of fearing it. It's kind of like how many people have the experience that their parents don't like their music. A lot of time it's just resistance to a changing world.

Don't get me wrong, I do think there are dangers to runaway progress. But we can't stop the internet now. I think our best bet is opening ourselves up to what comes and help skew attention towards tech that leads to more compassion.

No, it's completely dishonest. He accepted money in exchange for certain terms of service, then changed the terms so that he can keep the money without providing the service. I'm genuinely not clear how it could even be interpreted otherwise. I feel for the guy, but no, it's dishonest.

> As others have mentioned, devs in this situation typically just come out with a v2 that isn't covered by the perpetual license... or stop development altogether.

According to the author of the article, the old license says it's for every version of the software in perpetuity. If he comes out with v2, that would be covered as well.

My takeaway is: don't offer a lifetime license, offer a 10-year license. Or, include a clause in your lifetime license that says "by the way, I can change these terms in the future".
> rather not bike at all than bike safely

There are many many thousands of Dutch who bike daily without a helmet, so this is a false dichotomy.

I bike a lot as in for transportation and running errands, and the speeds are generally quite low, and after many years I'm good at not falling off my bike. The biggest thing that concerns me is drivers and their associated cars. In many cases a helmet will do nearly nothing when you get crushed by an overpuffed SUV or truck.

You could make an equal argument about driving and car/vehicle use. For example the city I live in has had more deaths by vehicle than deaths by homicide this year.

Agreed. A person who cooks regularly will just adapt on the fly and might even not realize they're correcting an error in the recipe. A person who cooks infrequently will stick to the recipe, fail, and then blame themselves for their own inexperience. This is already the case with human-produced recipes, and, as you say, it'll make it harder to recognize you're dealing with AI-generated nonsense instead of regular human mistakes or occasional cluelessness.

But please, let’s not credit demonetization with any of it. To the extent demonetization helped, it was an unplanned accident. And it was a result of the fact that the previous administration had begun the Aadhar project (which to its credit the current govt continued and even took credit for).

Demonetization was nothing more than a massive destruction of wealth and growth, done for only one reason. To starve the political opposition of funds over the next few elections.

Ask HN: Apply to multiple jobs with one technical interview
I was wondering:

Why do we have to prove our technical skills multiple times when we developers apply to a role (e.g. Senior React Developer)?

I know there is some variability in what a company needs from a particular developer, but wouldn't that be more efficient for both devs and the companies, if a candidate went through a tech interview once, and presented their score to multiple companies they apply to?

Lots of money and time could be saved for both devs and companies IMHO.
Double jeopardy would be the closer analogy but that doesn't apply here either.

FX swaps swap the principal amounts. So a default between the spot and forward legs can leave you with a chunky liability.

Unlike single currency interest rate swaps where the principal is notional in the sense that they aren't exchanged, they're just used to calculate the coupon exchange.

Yeah, this is the real reason they do this even though they know it annoys you. It is a very strong signal of price sensitivity, it’s because they can’t ask “do you feel like you still have money left over” after each purchase.

Friction. You can use a wire wrap gun that takes a bit of wire - fine-gauge, solid core, and stripped on both ends - and tightly wraps it around the square pin. A handful of turns provide plenty of surface area for the square corners of the pin to "bite" into the wire.

When I was about 10, we had a semi tame magpie for a while, everyone who met it fell in love with it - it was so personalable and interested in humans.

During a storm it had fallen out of a nest in our garden and I spotted it when I saw my cat approaching it. Tiny and hungry, it was happy to be fed and took bits of cat food from a pair of tweezers.

The next day another fell out - there was no way for us to reach the nest to return either of them, so we brought it in too.

It resolutely refused to eat and thought we were terrifying, even though it's relative would eat in front of it. It died quickly overnight, though we were not sure how long it had been out the nest.

---

The first magpie, we named Marilyn as I had just learnt the name had normally been a male name before Marilyn Monroe, so I thought it a good unisex name.

It grew really attached to us - we'd feed it as often as it wanted, and it would perch on some bamboo rods that my father fixed up in the kitchen and chatter to use while we were talking. It would fly to my shoulder and back when asked to, and enjoyed being stroked and scratched.

Each night it would fly to a box we had so we could put it to bed and keep it safe from our cats (who generally seemed pretty uninterested as it grew bigger).

For a period we would take it into the garden each day, and it would fly off and return as much as it wanted, coming back into the kitchen through our open door. Then one day it suddenly learnt how to eat and drink by itself - the next day it flew off and we never knowingly saw it again.

I later read that in the middle ages they were common pets - but they would clip their wings for the first few months so they lose the urge to fly away. I am sad it left, but glad we didn't, I hope it lived a good magpie life somewhere.

I still say 'Marilyn' to magpies I meet, just in case it is them :)
Caveat emptor should definitely be applied in this situation. Sorry you feel like someone should do something different, but you didn't enter into a legal contract, you bought software from a developer. They ultimately did not earn your trust. Live and learn?
