The article I linked is very thorough. It covers basic issues like that:
"Today the rate of obesity in Italy, France, and Sweden is around 20%. In 1975, there was no country in the world that had an obesity rate higher than 15%.

This wasn’t a steady, gentle trend as food got better, or diets got worse. People had access to plenty of delicious, high-calorie foods back in 1965. Doritos were invented in 1966, Twinkies in 1930, Oreos in 1912, and Coca-Cola all the way back in 1886. So what changed in 1980?"
>I know how I come across is my problem

No, it's not: it's theirs. We are constantly being told that stereotyping is "very very bad": against women, gays, blacks, jews, asians and so on and on... but somehow negative connotations of white men - generally falsehood - are exempted from the possibility of being seen in a charitable light.
I'm frankly sick and tired of the "what about the children" argument especially in this context.

In America violence and weapons are pushed onto "the children" daily. American military make video games to teach warfare tactics to "the children" and desensitize them to gruesome acts of killing. "The children" can bring bullet proof backpacks to school, and learn how to use weapons at a young age.

But god forbid they learn about or see a sex act, which by the way quite literally is what ensures the continuation of the human species. That would be awful.

like how they outsourced their chips, right? They only designed a square with a M1 stamped on it.
Can't seem to find it with a brief google search. But a story like this came out ~6 months ago and the components were all off the shelf microprocessors, sensors, and similar electronics.
It is more the latter than the former, plus wanting to have name X on the CV.

Games industry follows a similar pattern.
Things got corporate.

What was once a bunch of individual sites, forums, chatrooms, etc., is now concentrated on a few companies (facebook, google, reddit,...), which are not that interested in content, but more into advertising and pleasing advertisers, and earning money, and advertisers, and ads and money, and less on their users.

This meant that everything had to be policitally correct (unless it was deemed acceptable to target a specific group), moderators got more powers, more thought bubbles and echo chambers... and now everything is going slowly downhill.

My understanding of the situation : there are not infinite resources available to the various governments. So their strategy is to start at the top of the pile, and address the most visible / impactful cases. The hope is that this will then incite the smaller fish to get their stuff in order.

This is not completely stupid : there are more people with a Facebook account than there are people with a der Spiegel account?

Triple parentheses have been _extremely widely_ used by the far right for a dozen years. It's a daily occurence on 4chan, especially from /pol/, as well as being a favorite from various forums like Stormfront.

Now, there's a slight difference between you writing a comment that goes `This calculates the size of the universe (((note: absolutely fix this it runs in O(n^n))))`, and you going `goddamn I hate (((them)))` in forums swimming in white supremacists.

You are not being persecuted. If anything, hate on the far right using the dumbest fucking signals to try to "blend in".

A good thing to remember here is that most of the media-based investing is the product that Wall Street* sells. Cathie Woods' job is marketing and sales. She needs to make "big bets" or say outlandish things because her market niche is hyper-focused on tech futurism. She'll take her carry and move on with her life and so long as she can always move the goalposts people will continue to invest based on that marketing. Once 2026 and Tesla isn't a $7 trillion company (though I personally think it still has massive upside if Elon quit being a fucking lunatic) she can say the pandemic or Twitter or something stymied the growth and it's actually 2036 now that it'll be a $7 trillion company and so invest now! Etc. etc.

* This is an oversimplification and financial firms do provide very valuable services and products to customers and clients around the world.
I'm curious what the economics are here, because getting someone to just read a book can't possibly be that expensive, right? I'm not talking celebrity voice-over work, but just getting anybody with a passable voice to sit down a spend a day or so reading a book into a microphone? Does that really cost that much more than having someone sit down a listen to the whole AI-generated audio book to do QA? And then there's all of the engineers who have to work on the project, the hardware to run all of it, etc. Seems like if it takes months to do and has to be QA'd anyways, it can't be that much more cost effective. Now, if it's completely computer-generated and can be a push-button feature? Sure, that makes sense. I wonder how close they are to that.

Let’s play the unintended downstream consequences of misguided policy game…

No fapper in their right mind is submitting their ID to pornhub to have a wank.

This will just drive users to smaller, shadier sites that don’t comply with local regulations.

These sites will contain more harmful or exploitative content, and their increased traffic will incentivize and facilitate a continued cycle of exploitation and abuse.
I don't think it's ethical for our economic system to incentivize all these high-budget productions, so I like to "vote with my dollar," for what that's worth. Is it really good for humanity if billions of dollars are spent a year on Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs 3: The Golden Spork or Top Gun: Maverick's Last Stand: The TV Show?

Various streaming apps are simply very difficult to use for me. Plus other issues: Netflix's 4K is inconsistent and has banding and artifacts that it shouldn't, for one example. There's a long, long list of dark patterns and whatnot which turn me off. You can't even screenshot in mainstream apps!

But with all these IPs being taken down and lost forever (esp. HBO), piracy and seeding feels like I'm contributing to the maintenance of a library. If we're going to spend billions of humanity's resources on these things, they should at least continue to be accessible somewhere.

The pros and cons list ends up pretty imbalanced!

Hard to know. Probably not much.

Many other tools have built-in timeline functionality including most project management tools. But they're not able to go deep on the features and tend to look pretty ugly. Because Preceden focuses on timelines, we're able to go deep and provide a better experience. For many people, that's what they want out of a timeline maker tool.
That's an odd definition for "tech company." Is your point, though, that that data are valuable? If so, what for?
I agree that "Think of the children" is a really annoying talking point but it doesn't make it a _wrong_ talking point. It's often used to push reactionary policy quickly without giving anyone time to think about the repercussions. I'm on HN, I'm a massive advocate for privacy. I self host every single thing I can and use a pinephone.

That said the privacy argument is still not enough for me here. Bars have the ability to store this information they just choose not to. Pornhub also has the ability to choose not to store it. The privacy concerns are worth the risks

Pornography is a dangerous terrible thing. If exposed to it as a child it will likely impact you for the rest of your life.

Shred doesn't work at all on SSDs because wear leveling will spray the writes all over the drive, rather than overwriting the blocks you intended to. Your random bytes will end up in new blocks, not overwriting the original blocks. Trying to shred individual files is a totally pointless exercise on SSDs. It isn't doing what you want it to do.
Ok, but, have you seen Boston dynamics robots? Much more capable. In fact, what Tesla showed seem worse than the old Honda Asimo robots in terms of tech.

So to call it a leading robotics company is just so strange since they are just entering the space.

You can see that Asimo has very capable hands, which even boston dynamics robots don't. Just like in art, the hands are the hardest to replicate.

I’m sure a lawyer would have a better explanation, but I think the trick we rely on is that copyright is a Federal consideration and obscenity is locally defined. In court, a copyright infringement case cannot proceed if the material is obscene. What’s obscene in, say, Louisiana, might not be in Texas.
Pornhub should redirect traffic from Louisiana to a page that includes names and contact information of the politicians that sponsored the legislation.

What if the market, often times a manifestation of social and cultural greed and ignorance (and acquiescence and conformity and manipulation), is wrong? What if the market, which has fundamentally brought us to the brink upon which we find our collective selves and is driven by short term profit motives, cannot be trusted to do the right thing for the sake of the future rather than the immediate or even near term? What if the market, the deity that capitaism worships, is only interested in self preservation and not at all concerned with sanctity of all life on the planet.

I do believe it is both interesting and frustrating that people (in general) fail to challenge the validity and utility of their own beliefs, even when those beliefs have been shown to not hold up under the scrutiny of others. Then, there is also normacy bias.
They also tend to carry more traditional batteries (lead-acid) as they tend to be connected often to the grid.
How are they even going to enforce this? There's probably millions of porn sites out there, and 99% of them are not even going to be aware of this law and not care if they do, especially in the case of foreign owned sites. This really just punishes the biggest sites that are aware and try to play by the rules (e.g. pornhub.) Why go to a site that requires verification when you can choose one of hundreds of thousands that won't.
Not sure what the general consensus on Tesla in Norway. Sure, they are great cars during the summer, but during the winter they severely lack the robustness of the traditional car manufacturers. One of them being able to open the car door!

The Bible was created by the accretion of fake stories. Why do people have an objection to the addition of some fakes over others? That is why make a distinction between the original fakes vs the later ones?
What does that mean for websites which offer an alternative between ads and a paid subscription?
The situation in Utrecht isn’t a function of “the [free] market” though. It’s distorted by significant taxation of cars and subsidization of biking. It’s legislation on both sides, and American legislation can change, especially locally.

Look at bentonville Arkansas for an example.
Blocking a market of 447 million people simply because you need to ask them to click "agree" before you use their personal data (which most people do anyway) sounds like a bad business decision.

> No, spotify, I still don’t want to listen to your Dad Jokes podcast. I feel like some bozo product manager has had a bonus package attached to podcast listens and he’s doing what he can to get more podcast listens, instead of making me (the customer) happy.

Two things I have an issue with when it comes to Spotify and podcasts:

1. Podcasts are _still_ open and distributed via RSS. They're probably the last medium to truly exist in this way in a mainstream fashion. With a company like Spotify "embrace, extend, extinguish", then putting podcasts behind a walled garden is a real risk. (Remember when Chrome was the cool and hip browser instead of an ad space?)

2. The annoying, pushy UX (you're making my music listening experience worse)

Given 2., it's hard for me to imagine that 1. isn't a wet dream of some myopic, OKR-obsessed product person at Spotify.
Preceden's annual plans are discounted 60% (!) vs the monthly plans, so it's an attractive option for users who need Preceden for longer projects.
It does, Magna's whole business model is based around that.
You can do manual multi-shot blending and HDR if you want to. This is a photo I took on the iPhone 12 Pro Max with Halide RAW. It's a (manual) blend of around 10 exposures. The quality is not amazing, but I think it's pretty good for a night shot on a phone that's two generations behind the iPhone 14 Pro.

I think 2016 was a big turning point for US (and to some extent global) culture, where politics became a 24/7 spectacle for many that had been previously disengaged. I think all that energy then carried over to lots of pursuits that people didn’t take too seriously before.

No- it isn't.
I would. It's much safer than Python which has a package ecosystem that is known to be critically unsafe. https://pytorch.org/blog/compromised-nightly-dependency/ is just the latest example of security issues it's been having, https://moyix.blogspot.com/2022/09/someones-been-messing-wit... is general numerical incorrectness which is non-local and cannot be turned off, and that's not even getting to the specific inaccuracies of Numba. I'd switch away from a numerically incorrect security issue today!

Data isn’t what makes a tech company successful. It’s the application of that data into a product. They have Autopilot as their seminal data product, but it is buggy.

> The latest blow came on January 3rd... It lost 12% of its value—roughly $50bn, or one Ford Motor Company—in a day.

It's not going to completely correct in a day. As you note, its value may be inflated by two orders of magnitude. Musk's hijinks with Twitter have cost him dearly in investor confidence -- both indirectly, as his behavior there is erratic, and directly, as his loans for that deal are backed with Tesla stock. And then there's the non-delivery of FSD, which is the real "dream" that he's been selling so hard.
People got carded for buying porn? Only the ones who didn't look old enough, or everyone?

There's a huge difference between flashing your ID to a bored store worker for two seconds, and giving all your personal data to a huge company to store indefinitely, and that data might once be used against you... wanna run for president? Some pornhub worker can now look at the databse and see that you watched donkey midget porn once, (or in some areas, "even worse", gay or lesbian porn) and can blackmail you with that data.

> The difference seems to be that Tesla was 5-10 years ahead on everything...

This is pretty much the definition of a great tech product: it's ahead of anything else by N years. What makes a great technology company is that they manage to consistently maintain that lead with product after product.

We'll see if Tesla can maintain its lead. It's not looking good and it probably depends mostly on whether or not Elon Musk can regain his grip on reality.
Just focusing on the part of whether this law will achieve it's stated aim, it's fairly clear it will not, meaning that the costs in terms of privacy are effectively for nothing.

Firstly people will just go to the sites which have under 1/3 and therefore are not in-scope.

Secondly sites will game the threshold, if they think it'll be to their financial advantage.

Thirdly underage kids will (I would imagine) work out how to bypass these filters pretty quickly, using VPNs et al.

Fourthly, people attempting to bypass these filters might fall prey to malware dressed up as VPN/bypass software.

Investors stated fact.
> Minimalistic interiors, modern infotainment, mobile app performance

None of that is why Tesla was ahead of everyone for so long.

It's because their cars have better range, and Tesla is still the range leader. They held four of the top six spots in 2022, and the number one is the Lucid Air (only 3k of them have actually been sold):

https://www.caranddriver.com/shopping-advice/g32634624/ev-lo...

Also, I just want to say I am categorically not an Elon or Tesla fanboi and I am rooting for other brands to meet and exceed their range performance.
I've switched to C1 when Adobe went to subscription-only, pretty happy with it. They are about to make substantial changes to their licensing though, in what looks like an effort to push users to their subscription model. No more brand-specific versions (up until now you can get a version that works with only Fujifilm or Sony cameras for a bit more than half the price), no more upgrade pricing (just a "loyalty scheme") and even less in terms of updates than you used to get with a perpetual license. You're already paying more for the perpetual version if you update every year, I guess that's going to get substantially worse.

I guess soon it'll be either a subscription or barely-usable open source like darktable, which is a shame for hobbyists. I'd love to use open source, but darktable just isn't there, by a long shot. It's godawfully slow with 26MP images on a brand-new M2 Macbook (C1 is blazingly fast in comparison), the UI is unstructured and very spartan, lots of UI flicker and glitches that become super annoying after a while, no dehaze feature, shadow detail suffers in comparison to what C1 does there, etc. I bet a well-executed LR Classic/C1 competitor from Affinity would be a tremendous success.
> I'm pretty sure American companies are forbidden from selling things to Iran...

Sure, but they're most certainly permitted to sell to several billion other people on the planet, most of whom aren't under American jurisdiction. Some of those will be willing to shove the chips in a shipping container and send that on a boat to Iran for a reasonable fee.

It'd be pretty insane for TI to be selling to Iran directly, and finding TI chips in Iran isn't evidence of it.
