> The frame parts themselves were made with enough slack that even if you had a crash with something, it needed to be a fairly serious collision to cause damage beyond the frame. Hell, even a 1994 VW T4 could collide with the rear end of a traffic jam, be 10cm shorter than before and it would still run (I speak from experience on that one).

A return to this would likely require unwinding decades of global crash and pedestrian safety legislation - it's this more than anything else that has made cars less resilient to small knocks, especially the pedestrian safety rules found in many markets. Yes old cars were easier to fix, but survivability for occupants and anyone else involved in your accident was significantly worse. Personally, I'll take the safety features of 2022 over 1994 - the changes are massive.
Totally, I don't expect this to take quite as long as Enron, but I certainly wouldn't expect things to be much further after, what, 5 weeks?
I think people are largely arguing over whether or not the share of economic value is proportional to contributions and when they talk about that share they typically refer to profits. I think redefining/reframing what profit means in this conversation is intentionally misunderstanding/redirecting the argument.

Workers: "We should see more of the profits the company makes and we are making the case that collectively we produce a larger portion of the value we're asking for"

Poster: "Your pay is part of the profit, the more money you make the less that goes to the owner"

You're right. I shouldn't assume a framing is misleading just because its unorthodox, I'm attempting to make a case for the framing being misleading with supporting statements.

At best the parent comment isn't saying anything of substance at all (in response to ITS parent comment), and in my view, at worst its an attempt to redirect the concept of 'profit' to make the argument seem less credible.
I don't understand why you would use C over C++ for anything other than random embedded devices where you have very intimate knowledge of the hardware. I guess you just really hate any hint of a type system?

I bought it and tried it on my linux box. Proton works perfectly from what I can tell. No issues that I have seen yet!
I am old enough that when I was a kid in the UK there was still such a thing as a halfpenny (pronounced: ha'penny). Although please note: I am not that old; this was ½p - half a 'new penny', i.e. 1/200 of a pound sterling, and not to be confused with the old ½d, half of an old penny, which was 1/480 of a pound (or two farthings). Predecimal currency was well before my time. By over half a decade, in fact. But anyway, point is: of course this meant that some things were priced to end with £0.99½p. The rules are universal.
>- there is plenty of excess off-peak power available; grid collapse happens at the peaks.

And?

>- Lithium supply is a limiting factor for both EV demand and grid-tied battery capacity, so if cars themselves provided grid tied power, they would necessarily scale with the demand.

There still is not enough. It isn't even close.

My point was that energy storage doesn't solve the problem of total under supply and a need for increased grid infrastructure.
Thank you! Just launched last week so no numbers yet. :)
For employees, there is employment risk, reduced compensation, potential increased difficulty of finding next job. For founders there is the first two but generally finding next job is easier (because you get lots of managing/etc experience potentially faster than you would normally).
I'm a little confused by this comment. You start by saying you've "never had an issue" customizing a vehicle order, but then a few sentences later directly give an example where you had an issue getting a car customized.

Which is it? Did you once try to get a car customized only to be told they're booked up for a solid two years, or have you never had an issue and only had to wait a few months every time you've tried to get a car?

Personally, I absolutely have had issues trying to custom order a car. The first time I tried to buy a new car I assumed I could easily go and order exactly the options and colors I wanted, only to be turned away from dealership to dealership for actually placing an order. Every dealer only wanted to sell the cars on their lots or search their networks to find similar enough cars to sell me instead of placing an order. The second time buying a new car dealers would agree to take my order, but wouldn't commit to having any kind of delivery even within a year.
>In what world can I not know the price of something before hand?

In a world where you're not the primary payer.

The complexity of healthcare prices is an artifact of decades of negotiations between providers and insurers, with the added headaches of linked diagnosis and procedural dimensions.

IME the pricing is so overtly complex that transparency into it isn't going to make much of a difference, it's just going to create more questions. If you want simplicity, switch to single payer.
I was kind of shocked to see that I was presented with a Wix logo and had to sign in using my Wix account (odd for a 103MB download I thought). Then, it did not detect node or git on my system and there was no way to specify where it is on my system (as far as I could tell). I hit the exit button and that was the end of my journey with Codux.
I looked at these a while back. Really like what they've done with the mouse pad and keyboard layout. I could tolerate a slightly larger screen sacrificing some portability for readability and key spacing.

"In fact for decades I was convinced that the exploitation of animals was okay/fine/moral/necessary"

And the point is, we are not talking about vegetarism here. At least I am not. I am talking about avoiding unnecessary animal suffering.

So you say eating meat is unnecessary in general. Fine, that is your opinion.
My opinion is different, I believe to my body it is necessary, or at least I am better off with meat, than without.

Now you could try to change my opinion by providing me with studies saying vegan livestyle is better or as healthy (to which I would likely respond with, "yeah I know that study, those are the flaws preventing a generalisation"). But you did not do this.

And if you want to know why I believe eating meat is allright?

Because there would be no more trees, with no pretadors eating the deers and co. and I like trees as well. So nothing moraly wrong with killing and eating meat for me.

But putting the animal in miserable conditions is indeed unnecessary suffering to be avoided and not allright with me.

What exactly is not coherent in that line of thought?
water problems are actually energy problems. With cheap energy, you can clean all water from residential areas and you can pipe water in from where it is plentiful.

Water is not usually created/destroyed it is moved around and contaminated.
I only really see this issue on old vehicles. Most vehicles have lights set to automatically turned on when it gets dark. I very rarely see a new vehicle that doesn't have this enabled and/or daytime running lights. Even newer Honda civics have a feature to automatically turn on high beams when no oncoming traffic at night

Fairphone is only one example. There are many repairable designs that are waterproof.

For example Samsung's XCover series can be opened, have removable batteries and are waterproof. It's a matter of priorities, waterproofing just wasn't one for Fairphone.

I know XCover isn't meant to be repairable as such but it's obviously a lot more repairable than a glued up phone.
it sounds similar to how catch-phrases like simpsons and other shows become common things for kids to adopt and (over)use. i'd say it's hard to break patterns developed when young and seems to be what others around you are doing... downward spiral?

I'm sure that for simple tasks, AI-based pair programming will offer some level of acceleration, but until it can understand the semantics of the code it's generating, and how it fits into the broader _system_, it will not be able to be trusted. I do not look forward to a world where I have to spend my time debugging AI-generated code.

I've worked with a couple of these guys at my current company. I spent six months trying to get along with a guy and get some kind of compromise going. After lots of abuse and long, painful workdays I finally asked to be switched to another team.

A lot of what FTX did was indeed bank-like, the difference being that they avoided outright qualifying as a bank because of the associated regulations.

Incidentally, this was something they got in trouble for just a few months ago because they made it seem like they were covered by FDIC (like banks are required to be), but were not.
Yup, Moore's law should have always been a regression trendline
Passing a reference is semantically different from passing by reference (the latter being a functionality of the language); doing the former (behind the scenes) doesn't imply that the language supports the latter (if one wants to be rigorous, not even C supports pass by reference).

The canonical example is a function that swaps the variables passed to a function:

a, b = 10, 20
swap_fn(&a, &b)
a == 20 # true

Since the above are primitive data types (ints), in order to make this work, the language needs to generically support passing the address (reference) of the variables. Java¹/Python² etc. are not able to do this; they copy the value of the variable and send it to the function, which will operate on the copy.

¹=at least, last time I've checked, which was long ago :)

²=funny to think that at least in Python, one can mess with the global register of the variables, and actually accomplish that

Ask HN: How to switch from SE to consulting on process and quality improvement?
I've been writing software for over 10 years now, and I'm 11 months into a break from work.

I've worked at several startups and larger companies (in Canada and Europe), burnt out a few times, and always noticed how much waste and suffering most organizations create.

This is usually because of a poor process, poor code quality, misaligned incentives, misunderstanding between functions... It's a long list. But the result is always large amounts of waste (time, energy) and suffering (stress, burnout).

I'd like to fix this. I think I'd be happier helping teams and companies improve on these things so that the product is better AND costs less to make while also improving overall working conditions.

I don't believe in Agile(tm) or SAFe. I hated these silly little games and "ceremonies" that wasted so much valuable time while achieving nothing; so I don't think becoming a Scrum Master(tm) is for me. I'd also like to put my technical knowledge to use, but I don't want to be writing software anymore.

I'm still figuring out what that role/service is called or which companies would be interested in it. I suspect most place aren't looking to fix the status quo.

Is anyone working in this space? How did you get started, what kind of companies do you work with? And how is this role called?
The unreasonable effectiveness of a single unit test
I think it'll depend on the role.

If you're coming into a role saying "I'm very familiar with Python" and you don't know one of the most famous 'gotchas', that says something.

If you're coming into a role and saying "Hey, I'm not so familiar with Python but I have experience in other languages and I'd love to learn it as part of this role" I think that question is not appropriate.
Telegram have just added the ability for people to set an 'Auto-Delete Timer' on messages in any conversation or group they participate in.

This on top of the already fuckwitted ability for anyone in a conversation to delete their messages in the conversation 'for both parties'.

Incredibly they are touting the fact that their app lets other people delete MY content on MY devices [and now do it automatically!] as delivering the 'ultimate privacy'.

----

Telegram's unique combination of removing messages for all participants without a trace, and controlling existing and future chats with auto-delete timers gives you full ownership of your entire message history. Together with using your account without a SIM card it delivers ultimate privacy.

----

I'll continue to use Telegram for my casual converstions with family and friends. Because, for what it is, it's probably the best messaging app out there. But I can't believe the people behind it can't see that allowing someone else to delete data from my computer, without my permission is a BAD THING™

I think you believe that because you say basically that. Then you say that you don't believe there are people that are orders of magnitude smarter than the average. There are.

There's no magic. Just like the fact Usain Bolt running the 100m dash in 9.58 seconds isn't magic. No one else has been capable of reproducing that feat. Including people who train to do exactly that.

And I don't suggest there is magic. You're forcing an argument on me that I am not making.

IQ is as good a measure of intelligence as there is. IQ is not a measure of human worth. IQ is not a measure of success. IQ is not a measure of a lot of things. IQ is the rough measure of the raw processing power of a human brain.

Novel and unusual colors are more expensive to repair (fewer parts with matching colors) and thus bump up insurance premiums. Fewer color lines are cheaper for both the manufacturer and customer.

If it was important enough to a large enough group of people, you'd think manufacturers and dealerships would jump at the chance to offer another high margin markup line item. I personally wouldn't mind a less neutral color, but I'm not interested enough to pay more for it myself.

What an excellent use of collective brain power.
Your link doesn't support your claim about shopping around.

Most health insured patients can "shop around" in their network, which is a list of pre-negotiated priced providers that the insurance company has approved. Providers that are already vetted to be the lower cost for insurance, created through purchase power. And that's assuming it isn't an HMO, for which there is no shopping around.

There are not enough options for real market competition in healthcare.

I disagree with the statement that real people have actual opinions even if they aren't provable. Just because someone has an opinion does not necessarily make it valid or real. In fact, many people have opinions that are based on misinformation or lack of understanding of the subject at hand. In order to have a real and valid opinion, it must be supported by evidence and reason. Simply having an opinion without any backing or support does not make it real or valid. Additionally, there is value in being non-committal and unopinionated in certain situations, especially when it comes to non-objective questions. This allows for a more open-minded and unbiased approach, which can be important in situations where objectivity is necessary.

edit: In case the response wasnt obvious, the prompt was: 'Give an opinionated objection to the comment: "It's the completely non committal unopinionated response to any non objective question. Real people have actual opinions even if they aren't provable."'

Wouldn't there be a receipt of how much the clients are paying to the company's account? Or do they pay part of the sum total to the company and part to the co-founder directly? Do they pay him cash?

Maybe just gather enough proof of the fraud then show it to him and say he must stop doing that. Surely he would appreciate his fair share of profits as opposed to going to prison.

Point is you must have ironclad proof of the fraud.
