Car companies tend to be priced (as investments) in one range. Some good, some bad.

Real estate companies, same thing.

Cab companies, you know the drill.

So being one of those, but with computers & the web, does not permanently lift you out of your lane. Tesla is a car company, WeWork is a real estate company, and Uber/Lyft are cab companies.
No. A bill setting patent or copyright terms to less than what they are now is constitutional. Some might argue the opposite side of that, but I don't think anyone can deny the Framers were wary of the kinds of monopolies monarchs granted, much less did they think a patent is property.
No personalized feed, no "friending", no statuses, no social network.

If every forum qualifies, you're using the term so broadly that it's useless. That's what everyone else understands, which is making it seem to you like they're missing something you see. They're not.
It's cool you can SSH to demo it. More CLI tools should have that.
> Uber, were priced as if self driving cars are almost here

Source? I struggle to even find it mentioned in Uber’s S-1 [1]. (To say nothing of Lyft.)

This is about the only downside ( and simultaneous benefit ) of staying at home. I am genuinely glad he weighed in. I do not have enough background knowledge to evaluate the initial claims.
You may notice that an identity verification provider, such as ID.me, gets an exclusive contract to act as the sole identity service that everyone must use as part of the draconian porn workflow. You should also look to see the relationship that Louisiana legislators have with the identity provider, what their lobbying contributions were.
I am a life coach and engineer, working as hardware architect in security.

My personal experience is that coaching works, but you need to know who are you with and what you want to achieve.

As many said, most life coaches are like sport coaches.. go through a formula and use it to all clients. Of course this doesn't really work.

There are a few who see you as you are, with your specific issues and can really provide assistance to have a new perspective.

The main difference between coaches and therapists is the perspective. Therapists look at your past and help you find a solution. Coaches look forward and try to help in creating a different life.

I work using a different method that can help you create a new life, using your past decisions and emotional state.

That article states
> Although we haven't tested each of the longest-range models under our own EV highway range testing procedure, we've provided the data where possible.

I don't think Tesla is as far ahead on range as everyone thinks. Highway miles are what matters and Tesla tends to be optimistic on their numbers.

Holy sh*, you sound like the judge of this mans life, he is asking for help and he got people like you more upset about his situation than himself. I think you need to revaluate yourself as you did nothing but waste everyone's time by reading your unhelpful reply. If anyone isn't down to earth its you lol, absolute hypocrite, I had to make a account to respond to your idiocy. I suggest you never give advice to anyone close to you!
People do get caught for smuggling export-controlled goods. Some Russians were caught a few years ago for trying to export a few night-vision goggles (around 20 or so?). You could probably smuggle out a couple dozen from the consumer market, but hard to do so in higher quantities (enough to outfit a military) without attracting attention.

Russia has had issues with not having enough optics, so there's speculation that the Russian NODs for sale to American LARPers for years as milsurp might not have actually been surplus...
Yea having test driven the Mach E, Ioniq 5, and XC40 Recharge there is no way I’d buy a Tesla either. We liked all of those better than Model Y and Model 3. Going with the Volvo, it just feels nicer to actually drive, and has built in Google Maps with Google voice controls.
The wife went to bed early last night, so I figured I'd finally finish off S4 of Westworld. "Oh, no you won't.", said whoever owns HBO this week. I've had that HBO streaming sub since it came out. I guess it's time to turn it off until the next season of $WHATEVER_SHOW and raise the sails for some Westworld episodes.

I'm seriously astounded that someone thought this was a good idea.
Like, on paper they can do 250 kW but you never get more than 100 when actually charging it etc

Yeah this is one area where there's a lot of deceptive marketing. For example the Kia EV6 specs list a max fast charging rate of 350 kW but what that actually means is that you need a 350 kW charging station to reach the car's actual max charging speed of 240 kW (or 180 kW, depending on the battery options).

Granted, that is still nice and fast, and the EV6 is a great car, but it's really frustrating how hard it is to compare charge speed from different manufacturers.

I thought I found a bug on Open Street Maps' border of Long Beach, CA (https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/112100) but turns out the aberration is Signal Hill: an "enclave city".

Eternal vigilance is the price of freedom from butt jokes. - Thomas Jefferson
Elon didn't "build" any of his businesses, he is and always was the "money guy". He provided startup capital for X.com and SpaceX, but never did any substantial technical work on either. He bought Tesla after they already had several prototypes and started cosplaying as "founder" and fired everybody who called BS.
No, it's not a hack against the 1st amendment. Any private party action is constrained by the 1ST amendment. It's a well resolved question.
The unanswered question is what the limits are to out of state state power? It's a billion dollar question.
I'm in the southeast US and only seem to see this viewpoint expressed by those who had highly religious upbringings. I'm curious what the rough equivalent of this moralizing would be in your area, wherever you may be.
Is it an Infringement On Freedom to require age verification before you can purchase alcohol? Or enter a strip club? Or even walk into some bars or many clubs? Or to buy a gun? Or rent a car? Or vote? Or buy porn magazines from a store?

Why is internet porn unique in this respect?

Our society is FULL of porn. It's everywhere. Kids are exposed to it at an average age of 10.

- The question isn't "should we require age verification for adult things" (because we already do)

- The question isn't "should we require age verification for porn" (because we already do for physical porn)

The question is: why should internet porn be the ONLY exception?
> The rest of us have worked hard our entire lives to stay skinny [...]

Disagree.

I am skinny.

I spent almost no time thinking about it.

I eat whatever I want. If I overeat, my body feels bad... it tells me to stop.

After fasting 24 hours, my hunger turns off. I have no cravings. I am not eyeing chips and cookies with lust. I do not dream of roast chicken dinner.

Our human experiences of hunger and satiety differ more than I ever would have imagined.

Now should I look for a moral judgement? On me? On you?

I think I'll find something more positive to do with the rest of my day.
I have come to like sheet music - in part, because of its density.

Most voices, which we play in our music club fit on 1 to 4 sheets. This is the amount of sheets, which can be conveniently put on our music stands. Any more means page turning during a piece or multiple music stands.

A less dense format would mean that it does not find on four sheets on a music stand anymore. We would have to swap out paper binders for an electronic solution. This on one hand is expensive and on the otherhand bothersome. Paper with all its limitations just works. Electronic devices need to be charged, kept up to date, break easily, etc. Doing something offline lets me relax and focus easier.

That said I think tablets will become an increasingly better alternative for paper based sheet music. I don't like the glowing comparatively small displays though. Looking forward to big e-ink tablets running a general purpose OS.

A club member's setup is cool. He has an area dedicated to music in his house. Inbetween a dozen hardware synthesizers there is a master keyboard and behind it a big screen, which can be (at least in theory) used for configuring the synthesizers and display sheet music. This setup is expensive and stationary though and thus not a good fit for performing or playing music in a club.

I did not like sheet music in the beginning, but honestly I cannot think of a strictly better format to teach people how to perform a piece of music. I think a piano roll projected via AR technology would be a good contendor, but the technology is not there yet.
Are you aware of Calibre?
Yeah. They put cache on top of the cores. Heat dissipation is handled by lowering the TDP a little and the fact that the cache doesn't produce much heat.
I doubt that Iran needs to use recycled parts. Most of the components specifically mentioned in the article are things that are common in most electronic devices.

They are generally unrestricted and there is no tracking done of who buys them or what they are going to use them for. The only limit on buying them is when the buyer and seller happen to be in different countries that have some sort of general trade restriction between them such as sanctions.

These are the countries that Iran has over $1B/year in imports from: China, UAE, India, Turkey, Germany, Switzerland, South Korea, Russia, Italy, UK, Netherlands, and France.

As far as I know there are no restrictions on US companies selling these components to buyers or distributors in at least 2/3 of those countries. Iran can probably just order from distributors in many of them, or have someone in one of those countries buy the components and ship them to Iran.

Keeping these components out of Iran is about as difficult as keeping something like nails from a US company or USB cables from a US company out of Iran.
>Usually the actual workers get fired, not the deadweight managers and support staff.

You've never been in a large, rich, inefficient company with plenty of useless "actual workers" doing nothing all day? I have several friends at large companies barley doing one hour of work per day. And no, they're not 10x devs.

The thing is, due to the great economy and infinetly abundant free money there was never any real reason for these companies to let go of the "actual workers" that were doing nothing so they kept on hiring regardless. Now they hired too much and the free money dried up, and so they need to cut the ballast loose before they sink.
On that note. Remember how cinemas were blocked from engaging in any way with content production. That seemed smart.
I’m opposed to both, but I’m not sure that’s even relevant.

Compared to a bored store clerk eyeballing your ID in person, digital, cryptographically enforced, centralized state identity verification on the internet is a powerful new tool for state censorship and control.

The same “save the children” imperative could have been achieved by requiring that porn sites set a header designating themselves as porn, and letting the private market voluntarily add support to their parental controls for filtering that content.

Nothing about this problem requires abrogating both privacy rights and parental responsibility.
> false promises of afterlife

I wouldn't say "promises of afterlife" are false, they're unknowable. Saying there's potentially an afterlife is a non-falsifiable statement; there's no test for it we could actually do to confirm or deny its existence.

Unless you've got an actual test which can definitively prove there's no afterlife, in which case I'm all ears.
Tl;dr? = there's no breakthrough.
Well, contributors should check if there are stated policies, but I think it's the author's duty to document that they don't take contributions and to disable the relevant features in the tools they use.

A contribution is a nice thing from the contributor.

As a contributor, I won't ask and then open a MR for a trivial contribution. It's too much trouble. I will ask for a bigger contribution to know if the author had related plans or their ways though.

As an author, I do state that I'd rather not have medium/big contributions before we discussed about it in the project's CONTRIBUTING file.
Tesla earned 5.5 billion on 54 billion in sales in 2021. 1.5 billion of that was in air pollution credits Tesla sells to other carmakers, meaning they earned about a 8% margin on the car business. You could definitely argue that Tesla is only profitable because of government price supports.
I thought that's why the Russians were looting as many white goods from Ukraine as they could, to get hold of the electronics parts that were now harder to source after sanctions.
all in again, i left alternative methods for getting my media years ago. but now im fed up with the poor user experience of the multiple services with synthetic border blockades, so i have set up a signal group shared for a group of friends, it has a bot and you can ask him for a movie or series and the bots download it from private trackers with a VPN and it shares an streaming url in the same group or privately with subtitles and everything. all the people share the cost of the infrastructure, which is like 50 USD /month. also it has a nice unexpected social aspect.
Nothing about this has to do with conservative talking points.
That's the point of assistance, it shouldn't need double checking by a human every time. It should just work.

This happens in physical media release as well, mostly i've seen music replaced with cheaper licensed music, I think the most recent physical releases of 'Community' still contain the episode that includes the 'Advanced Dungeons and Dragons' episode, that has been removed from netflix due to the use of Blackface (One character arrives at the game in blackface (actually jet black with a white wig) because his character is a Drow (dark elf), other characters call him out for being racist but he explains his character's backstory)
I live in europe, and I bought many US chips (eg TI ones)... your regulation means nothing here, and i didn't sign any contract. You can literally go to a physical store and buy them off the shelf.
smart move by Dell - being able to rebrand as 100% 'team democracy' is potentially a strong marketing ploy.
Show HN: Point Cloud Utils – A Python library for 3D point clouds and meshes
This is a utility library I slowly built up during my PhD and has become my swiss army knife for processing 3D data. It's super easy to install (only depends on NumPy and SciPy).

The goal of the library to have an extremely simple API for geometry processing which uses NumPy arrays as a core data structure (so it can be dropped into whatever numerical codebase you're working with).

Most of the library is written in C++ using a custom binding framework (https://github.com/fwilliams/numpyeigen) that I wrote which avoids copies when converting NumPy arrays to Eigen Matrix types.

Happy to answer any questions you might have about it and I hope Point Cloud Utils is useful to you!
Enforcement is not the job of the politicians. They just write the "Save the Children" laws and then go out and pat themselves on the back to their constituents.
> And of course, taking it to the extreme, people simply will stop creating works. Or, some folks may not be able to afford to create works.

Being broke has never prevented artists from making great art. In fact, historically and today, the majority of artists have never been fairly compensated for their work, even with insane copyright laws. I do believe that artists should be correctly compensated for their work if they wish it, like any other work, but copyright laws (even if introduced as a way to protect artists) have been transformed into something that doesn't protect the artists, but the copyright holders (which are most of the time record labels and big companies).

Here is the point of view from musical artists:

You have two major scenarios:
- you are a musician which does not produce original music. Then you make your money with gig playing mostly (weddings, venues, orchestras, ...). Copyright law is not siding with these musicians, and these musicians don't care about piracy.
- you are a composer which produces original music. Here again, copyright law doesn't help, artists are trapped to distribute their music through either record labels or popular streaming services which don't care about their artists (spotify will pay artists 0.004$ per stream).

Often, musicians will be doing both (composing and playing at gigs). But most of the money to be made is in gigs, and maybe a fan base that will buy your CDs and come to your concerts. Distributing your music on popular streaming services is just a way to grow your own fan base, not to make money. So piracy can even help here by making the music even more accessible.

What I want to say is that from the point of view of musicians, copyright law doesn't help. Sometimes it even works against you: if you are a classical musician and putting some public domain music (that you played yourself) on youtube, you will be inevitably copystriked by some random record label that doesn't give a shit about you and there is nothing you can do. Copyright law also prevents musicians to rearrange popular music, to make transformative art unless you pay some fees. You can't play music from somebody even if the author has been dead for 50 years. And these fees won't probably go to the other musician you are arranging from, but to the copyright holder (which will be a record label or big company).
Subsection: "Finding embeddings online"
Note: "Github has kindly asked me to remove all the links here."
It's not the questionable popularity of piracy driving anti-freedom technology and legislation. If it were, the push for such things would have dried up as streaming became extremely popular. Rather, executives intrinsically want the top-down centralized control they enjoy in their businesses to extend to individuals' computers. The law has created an exclusive right for them, and so they're going to do everything possible to make that right as broadly enforced as possible, decentralization and progression of society be damned.

The entertainment industry has yet to create a watch-at-home offering that matches the experience of piracy. Starting with the "FBI" Warning, unskippable advertising, DVD menu screen loop, the connectivity and locked-down device requirements of streaming, fragmented bespoke UIs, memory-holing content, and trustees of "purchased" digital content straight up pulling exit scams. These are all anti-patterns that revolve around taking a customer's purchase/attention for granted and feeling entitled to abuse it.

It's up to the industry to create sane offerings first. I would be quite interested in a paid service that was accessible with libre software, that dropped plain unencrypted files on my hard drive alongside my existing library, viewable with Kodi/mpd/mpv like my existing library, with the option to redownload as long as the company stayed around. But without something like that existing? Why would I suffer the world of streaming, with the constant whinging about some service dropping some show, some device type being deprecated, heavy proprietary clients burning my CPUs for fun, forced software updates causing the setup to fail when I just want to relax (or with music, want to put it on and be productive at other stuff) - especially knowing that some of my money would be going to support the ongoing attempts to continue destroying personal computing? No thank you!
When do you return Amazon stuff? I have returned online clothes purchases from other stores but I'm pretty sure I've never returned anything I bought from Amazon. Basically because I buy "things" from it, and I end up doing so much research before buying that I'm always happy with the purchase.
I am well aware of that. It is not the anti-microwave that people commonly ask about.
> The truth is, if full self driving cars actually happened, with safety statistics better than humans and with a low barrier to entry, you can bet that people would change their opinion real fast.

I think this is the wrong counter-argument against self-driving cars being viable.

If the median answer is $0 and there were a lot of negative answers then that means there's a lot of positive answers. Just sell the cars to those people!

Not everybody wants a self-driving car just like not everybody wants a big mac. Hell you probably need to pay some people to eat a big mac. But theres enough people that want a big mac that despite that fact it's a huge business.
How do you view that content? Plex, Roku, TVs, and related are definitely spying on what you watch, even if it's locally hosted.
Related to this, is there a tool like this, but that can show some kind of simple analytics, for example page views over a period of time from an access log produced by python html server.

No, individuals have far less market power than institutions and businesses.

Especially since health care is tied to employment.

It's a privileged position if you can 'just say no' to a company that has non compete clauses - the majority of workers cannot.
Even if you can do it on scale and with a very high recovery rate of 90%, after 7 cycles half of the lithium is gone. Given the massive environmental effects of the mining and the relatively scarce reserves we need to allocate the metal very carefully. It should not be used to maintain a broken business model IMO.
from a distance that's how people feel now. because self-driving isn't something anyone has access to, it's something that a few tesla buyers and a few tech companies (waymo, etc) have access to. So, from an average person's perspective, of course I don't want those rich/greedy assholes killing kids. The algorithms need to be perfect before they're allowed on the road

If every single car were upgraded to have full self driving tomorrow, with algorithms to perform lets just say 1% better than humans perform, I guarantee that acceptance would build overnight.
In the 90's the Democratic party abandoned the labor movement because they thought they could get more votes from moderate republicans if they spew the same free market and free trade ideology. And Clinton did that and won, so since then there's been a cohort of political leaders on the left that firmly believe that this is the right and correct path. Literally the same people, they've been in power for 30-40 years. What they miscalculated was that Clinton won the presidency because of his insane charisma and also the Ross Perot spoiler on the right, not the free market stuff. But it was enough cover to dismantle the long-term alliance of the labor movement and the Democratic party.
This is a big deal if they can pull this off and I'm very impressed with the FTC being proactive and doing something about it.

Noncompetes are a huge incentive for companies to prevent employees from being paid their true market value for their skills, especially true for those who are very specialized and only few employers can make use of their skills.
Same in Spain.
