> Google does a lot that doesn't serve ads

Eh? Google Assistant is the quickest shortcut so serve you an ad, but also can do your calendar.

> Are the hardware sales alone

No way, especially the Google branded ones. But the ability to shoehorn it's ads on almost every device - is priceless. Don't forget, the Android smartphones are practically useless without Play Store and every Play Store install not only allows you to install apps, but:

links the device with your account (so any data explicitly known to come from this device is now can be correlated with you)

sends your location data

provides the way for you to spend the money, including RL

servers as a giant ad sink - every freemium game/app there has the ads from... you know whom?
My brother in law died slowly and painfully from motor neurone disease. The worst way to go.

He was a real fighter, and had several goals - to see his son turn 21, to get to some big rowing champs, etc.

He achieved some of those goals, and missed out on others. But as his disease wore on, he became so disabled and in so much pain that life was a true misery. Not just for him but for his loved ones, who were also his carers.

His last few months were not good for anyone and both my wife and I decided we would rather shuffle off than extend our lives in a similar situation.
There is a lot of utility in a (moderately) heated garage. Nothing crazy, just up to a little above freezing.

For one, it really helps in breaking up packed in snow/ice in the wheel wells overnight, which used to be a big hassle for me.
If Lionel Messi is impossible, Maradona is more than.
now better stop to watch it again.. Argentinian geopolitics at full power here :)
I just feel that in general. Lying in bed on most nights I can "feel" my body disintegrating. Forever, irreversibly as I drift into cold nothingness.

To end on a positive note, I still find it less terrifying than the alternative, which is living forever.
That’s the word! Thanks.
If your only sample has been Tesla "FSD", your bearishness is appropriate. However, Tesla's level of development is infantile compared to Waymo's.

It's clear that Waymo has run into some costs/limits in physically scaling their operations, as the software side of things appears to already be "good enough" and is not the limiting factor.

Cities are already energy efficient compared to the suburbs. Most cities have plenty of suburbs around them, and lots (arguably too many) large parking garages that can be used for the same purpose.
Yes old Leafs are notorious for terrible battery management. The battery overheated on long, rapid trips in summer and gave terrible charge times, too.
Referring to early screening, this seems like the right way to go: https://grail.com/
As a Canadian I guess data from events that Americans rarely experience isn't really that useful or interesting.
Those are all valid points, about store security guards.

Some of what you said applies if the police are doing this work, also - the costs (to society), violence (putting police in harms way to protect store items), the d.a. (and lack of jail space for thieves). Not an easy problem to fix.
Yeah i wonder about this too. I think the popular perception is that his followers are particularly young and impressionable, so if the actual investors in the scam tended to be older it lends weight to that idea. There is an old saying that "you can't con an honest man."
> But, yes, running the heater will use fuel

I imagine it is so on some air-cooled cars (VW "Beetle", old 911 etc), but on most cars the cabin is heated off the engine's cooling system and does not require additional fuel, so it technically will "use fuel" but no more than the normal operation of the car.
I think there's some truth to the whole "It's hard to scam a honest man". At the very least people would wonder whom they're making money off from

>I contend this is no different to yelling out of your window and criminalizing people hearing you.

You are deeply wrong. Humans can not listen to radio transmissions without special equipment.

Listening to your neighbours baby monitor generally requires specific efforts on your part. Same is obviously not true of your completely ridiculous example.

A direct comparison would be listening to your neighbour using some special long range directional mic or a thru-wall mic.

>just as there is no answer to someone contending that listening to something people yell out of windows is a violation of privacy.

You are being deliberately dishonest at this point.
Ah, I'll take a look at those. Thanks.
Wasn't America built on the back of the railroad? What happened?
Really hope these breakthrough AI discoveries will dramatically accelerate cure for cancer (all types).
We've had smartphones without superuser rights for checks notes literally forever. There hasn't been a single mass market phone ever created that required you to run anything as root. Yeah, we can jailbreak phones, but until the law busts up the "app store" model, phones don't need root. General computing devices might, and you might want to turn your phone into one of those, but as the device it's sold as, no phone has ever needed you to have access to, or use. , root privileges.

Because they're not designed to be computers (yet). Operating systems for desktop have given you the power to superuser-up since day one, to this day, and the odds of that changing any time soon is pretty much zero, because without superuser privileges we can't use those computers for what they're intended to be used for.

So yeah, personal gripes: they are wildly and completely different types of devices, for different markets.
Yeah, but it's 2022 now, and the Model 3 has a heat pump. It is a head-scratcher why Ford didn't put one in their 2022 flagship EV.

I find it hard to fault a newspaper for pushing an opinion a large majority of it's readers share [1].

Also 9/11 was literally in their backyard. If someone flew a plane into your neighbors house you'd behave pretty irrationally as well

Detroit happened. Passenger air travel happened. World War II was the last great era of rail travel.
We also have a lot of data on ways to reduce cancer before it happens. Reduce obesity. Reduce pollution. Etc.

Yet we really aren't doing an awful lot about those things.

Imagine for example if we had an obesity tax - everyone obese must pay 30% of their earnings into a Medicare fund. Sure it would be unpopular, but obesity would very quickly be solved, and cancer rates would plummet.
Actually though, I do agree with that bit: you really can't do much better than solar and wind for simplicity. And I believe since this article was written, it has only gotten better.

But, battery technology has been at a standstill for a while. New battery technology seems as far away as cold fusion some days. And without battery storage, I don't think you could really serve the world's power needs with just wind and solar. (But I'm also 100% a layperson, so hell if I know.)
Not all of them do. My diesel VW struggles to maintain coolant temperature in really cold weather, and even in summer the radiator fans almost never turn on unless the AC is used. When it's -25C out it takes 10-15 minutes before I get full heat out of the vents (hooray for heated seats), and if I pull up to a stop light with the heater on the coolant temperature immediately starts to drop. And there's nothing wrong with my car; they're all like that. And the fuel efficiency reflects it: I normally get about 5 L/100 km (46 mpG).
I can't begin to understand what the perspective of someone who holds value in their head for NFTs is. Are they grifters themselves in an Amway kind of deal? Is there some actual use that I'm just totally missing?
Quite the opposite, I find every thread about them (including this one) to be entire dominated by the naysayers who claim they are repressed but in actuality are the loudest and most visible voices.

It's a bit ironic you claim "propaganda" and "downvotes".... in the most upvoted, top thread on this post, a thread which is highly skeptical/negative to EV.

These days I find it difficult to find real-world data or anecdotes from EV real owners amongst the tidal wave of gasoline vehicle operators predicting how terrible an EV would be (and justifying their ego/decision to not buy one).
I thought electric block heaters were common in cold climates. Is the blow torch a last resort if you cannot park your car in range of an outlet?
There are some other stories playing out in my family right now that are very close analogies to yours and I hope that you managed to eventually heal and deal with the stress. I can see all kinds of stress fractures running through my family because of the enormous pressure exerted by caring for people in the final days of their lives. It's very painful to see people cause all kinds of damage to each other and themselves with the best of intentions.
Don't feed the trolls; just flag it or email the moderators and let them take care of it.
That's a different proof of ownership model, though. If I understand it correctly, you set the DNS record once and then forget about it. Hence, you will only prove that you had control over the zone at some point in time. With the DNS-01 challenge you prove that you have control over the zone at the time you request the certificate, because it requires a new TXT record every time.

Devon Nash has great videos on YouTube that go in depth into this.

1. Use a 10 to 1 ratio of producing good content and promoting your own (for example 10 good posts in the technology subreddit, and one which is an article from your technology blog)

2. Zero to One principle. Write thoughtful comments in areas were people who would be interested hang out. Subreddits, Twitter Circles, HN etc. People will click on your profile and see links to your other content and check it out. Commit to a few of these in the spaces you choose every day

3. Produce good quality content for a long time. If it's evergreen content, it will just become more valuable to people who discover you, and they will become more likely to stick

4. Utilize social media. But don't just spam a link to your blog post. Chop it up into chunks and syndicate it. If you wrote a long blog post summarize key points in a tweet. Highlight one aspect on Tik Tok or YouTube in a video or short

5. Ask yourself, "How am I different from other people who blog in this space?", "What is my value proposition

Point 3 and 5 are worth highlighting again. Produce good content consistently for a long time, and focus on why your readers will find the content you create valuable. In the beginning don't spread yourself too thin. Maybe just work on posting good blog posts. Once you get a good handle on that you can start branching out to other platforms. I've basically summarized the points in this^1 YouTube video, but it's still worth watching

If someone is sure they want to get rid of their paper books, if they can find a library that will stock them, that might minimize regrets.

After grad school, it was looking like I'd have a lean move (ended up only owning two suitcases, a few boxes, and a futon), but I was a books person. At work, my office had neat shelves of technical books, and at home, my living room had neat shelves of fiction and other non-work topics.

Since I felt I couldn't haul my books on this next move, I ended up selling some of my more rare technical books, and the rest of my books I donated to a branch of the local public library.

I later heard that libraries often don't have much use for donations, and often sell them.

A few years later, I was in the mood to read some science fiction, but no longer owned a collection, and wasn't about to start building a new one. So I went to the public library branch. I find they have a collection of well-worn books, and... it's pretty much my old collection, which was like-new when donated (I read without cracking the spine, etc.). Which meant that a lot of people got some use out of the books, and maybe it was positive formative for some kids.

I decided that was a good use. And every time I wish I had some technical book I sold, I remember the donated SF books that got read, and I don't feel bad.

I only recently resumed buying books (as ebooks): https://www.neilvandyke.org/ebooks/ Ebooks aren't going to be a conversation-starter in my office or living room, but I can read them, and they don't further complicate the crazy rental housing situation here. Ebooks also won't be a burden to my heirs (hopefully many decades away) to dispose of, though an unresolved question is how to let heirs inherit ebooks that they want to.
Oddly enough there was a different recent submission to HN a few below this for me... here it is: https://youtubetranscript.com/?v=GNhlNSLQAFE&t=1
Oh damn, so something like the carbon credits thing Tesla did? In that case what on earth are they doing putting such a facility in such a water-poor locale.
Fediverse?? I don't think so. OpenDoc is just a standard for creating documents with dynamic content. A competitor to OLEII. Basically covers a lot of what pdfs do, but can also be used to build basic apps.

Jobs fires the entire OpenDoc team and then goes off on a tangent on how java (a completely different thing - a virtual machine based programming language) will replace it. Perhaps Jobs was referring to NetBeans? In any case, the engineer was right to be pissed. Apple (and maybe Jobs) had spent years pulling devs onto their OpenDoc standard, then kill it abruptly effectively killing app developers overnight with a handwaving technically ignorant explanation on how Java could replace it.

Interestingly, years later Microsoft has killed OLE II, Oracle killed NetBeans, and we all moved to WebApps/JavaScript shit (yet somehow PDFs are still ubiquitous) so perhaps Jobs was right on a business level, but this is an example of his reality distortion field in effect.
Nearly every modern gas vehicle has remote start, and has for years. This isn't an EV feature.
I'll let you in on a secret: neither do I. Thankfully, it turns out that "I need to know this to do a thing" is enough to get into it, and teaming up with folks who know way more than you do is basically the perfect learning opportunity =D

(I originally dug into Beziers because I was several levels deep into "Processing.js's text-in-a-box fitting is bad, how can I fix that". Queue learning how OpenType works, how TTF/CFF works, how Beziers work, writing up a code playground tutorial before we really had code playgrounds, and then going "...I can use this for more, can't I?"... And thanks to that I've talked to far smarter people with formal training in both the type design and maths communities. I still consider myself an amateur, but an amateur with expert acquaintances =)
You are spot on. I’ve been wanting to leave the platform since he took over, and am simply unable to... There are some high profile accounts that have left for Mastodon, but for an average user, it is a lot tougher to start anew. For me my Mastodon usage has just become an additional time spent on more social media, not a replacement, despite the fact that I really really want it to be a replacement.
Apparently some of these series are going to be re-licensed to ad-supported networks. [1]

I don't think this undermines the premise of this article, that the current crop of streaming execs are moving TV backward to a more ephemeral medium. It's gonna be essential for independent archivists to preserve assets that are being discarded.

If you need to build an app then it does all the work for you! No reason to scaffold anything out these days.

At my company all new apps are built using Next, and there's pretty much no learning curve required. Its utterly straightforward.
How so? Because he wasn’t a typical scholarly philosopher?

As an English football fan, that cheered me up (it still hurts). I suspect no English football fan could accept Maradona as the greatest.

Do you know about Pelé?

When I was a kid, it seems everyone (even non fans) knew Pelé was the greatest.
I wish they did tests where cabin heat was minimized. Depending on what your temperatures are, driving a cold car might not be viable. But, it would be nice to know how much of the loss is due to cold itself, and how much of the loss is due to comfort.
I suppose the distribution of aptitude would be a normal distribution in a world where careers were assigned randomly at birth and advancing in your career was on a strict seniority basis. So, for example, you'd see it in career paths that are mostly followed as generational family businesses.
Thanks,

IMO a more effective way is to offer users a chance to post links on their social network. If they are satisfied, the chances of others liking the position will be much higher. Once I got 22,000 views on a post without any effort (this hasn't happened another time).
I take a minimalistic approach, which is not perfect, but good enough for me, and gets my preferred font size and dark mode support. CSS:

center { text-align: left !important; }

table#hnmain { width: 100% !important; }
California actually has more protective, robust wage protection laws and enforcement than most states.
Maybe if you watch the news rather than leaving your house, this is what you would think.

The encampments just got moved, they still exist. The cops left behind a ton of garbage too that was otherwise mostly handled by the homeless when the city was distributing garbage bags. Protests never got serious here at all, so curious what gave you that impression.
Dang I'm sorry, that's awful :'(. I know that a common theme in literature is that everyone dies alone, but I'm glad that your uncle wasn't alone when he was finally freed from pain. You're right, that's too much suffering to inflict on anybody, and the randomness... It feels almost cruel sometimes. To me, that is.
press credentials do not appear in the constitution. they are just press assocation members recognizing themselves. your right to freedom of press is not contingent on having press credentials.

i think coffeezilla is doing well with what he has right now ajd i dont known if big budget and fake recognition mean more than the grassroots recognition he actually gets without those things.

Letting the vehicle idle in the driveway while the windshield defrosts will decrease fuel mileage, because the engine runs for longer.
If you want to see it that way, doesn’t that mean “maybe it’s better” if fraudsters accumulate wealth with impunity?

Perhaps we should incentivize crime and fraud, since the victims are by definition less fit, and the attackers are by definition more fit?

I am not sure I care for this philosophy. It is timely though, I’ll give you that.
> Wii Sports was a "killer app" for motion controls and that doesn't mean it was a technology that shaped our lives in the long run.

Perhaps it could have been different if companies didn’t just focus on using these technologies as leverage to increase their profits at “unicorn” levels and for unimaginative reasons. Carmack should have known better than to expect a huge, boring company like Facebook to be a good place for a maverick to make a major breakthrough.
Doesn't the range of an EV drop as the heating load of the cabin of an EV increases?

And doesn't the heating load of the cabin increase as the air velocity over all of its metal and glass surfaces increases? Isn't the shell of the car essentially a giant heatsink with a 70mph relative wind moving across it?
There's a big difference between being anti-immigration and anti-immigrant. All of the latter people are also the former, of course. But there are people who want lower immigration even though they have no problem with the immigrants who are here. Some union people are surely in that bucket just for "reduce job competition" reasons.

The argument the author seems to be trying to make is that fusion power will never be realistic because it'll be too expensive. Then goes on to explain why it's expensive today. You could make the same exact argument about wind and solar a few decades ago.

Also, there's a TON of assumptions in the arguments he's making. For example, he takes an existing fusion reactor design and assumes every one built from now until forever will be exactly the same or that they'll even use the heat->steam method of energy extraction. When it comes to fusion you can extract energy energy from the charged particles themselves via Aneutronic Fusion (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aneutronic_fusion) and skip that 1-meter-thick lithium shielding and a whole lot of other expensive things.
