My friends took a container ship across the Pacific (and later another one across the Atlantic) as passengers. This is regularly commercially available (!) and apparently quite fascinating, although it takes a week or two to cross an ocean and is potentially much less comfortable than a cruise ship, and you also apparently have to negotiate it with a broker rather than just booking a ticket on a web site.

Here's Wikivoyage on the subject:

You can't retaliate against workers for taking a protected concerted action to change something about their workplace. The wrinkle is that Temple's employees are public-sector employees, who are exempt from the NLRA --- but they're not necessarily exempt from equivalent Philadelphia law.

You can take health care away from employees (absent a contract) in general, but you can't do it in retaliation for striking.

Right, the Phase 3 MOVe-OUT trial (NCT04575597) was done in outpatients prior to approval, so to say it was never used in outpatients prior to approval is not accurate. Use in hospitalized patients may have been the focus of research with molnupiravir before the MOVe-OUT trial, but that does not prove that molnupiravir should not be used in an outpatient setting.

One of the best things about no longer using macOS is not having to fight 'but Application Support/Resources/Nonsense/Foobar.app/Resources/config is the standard location on this platform!' ... The XDG base dir spec makes a lot more sense even on macOS for developer tools, but I'm glad not to have to worry about that any more.

I think you're missing another important aspect of car usage: demand is quite bursty. A substantial portion of the workforce works 9-5 jobs, and that means that the chief demand is shuttling people to their jobs at the same time. A fleet sized to carry that demand is going to have poor utilization for the rest of the day--no better than 50%, and probably somewhat below 25%--simply because there's nothing for those cars to do.

Tasteatlas apparently has never heard of ChauDaufu (Stinky Tofu), a common street hawker dish in southern China, notably Hong Kong. This dish involves marinating tofu in, as one cartoon put it long ago, an extract from the unwashed socks of six soccer teams, then deep frying it. The smell is very close to pig manure. It is so potent that a great many apartments have contracts forbidding it from from being brought into the building. It is hard to overstate how bad it smells.

Absolutely. I was once refactoring some badly written floating point code. To make sure I did not screw up, I want the result of the old and new code to be identical, since I know the refactoring should not change the float operations. (I also knew the code won't produce NaNs so == suffices.)
I'm in the US, where they're welcome to dislike it but their "throwing a fit" would be illegal and risky for the company.
But look at this closely, with engagement. Currently, they are on strike, so tuition remissions cannot be issued. If that remains the case until March 6th, they will need to pay. If the strike is resolved before March 6th, and then they still refuse to issue the remissions, that would be a significant violation.
Exactly.

I have a Samsung Note. It has the best stylus on a phone.

That was the focus of a fight when Trump was pushing for tax reform in 2017. Students would need to pay taxes on the remitted tuition which can be a few hundred to a few thousand dollars, which is a lot of money -- many don't even have $20k in total annual salary. In the end that part of the law did not change and students did not pay that extra tax.
How do you figure? The CEO and a process employee of the company have two entirely different roles.
According to a university official, with no explanation of how they came up with that number. Unions typically needs a certain percent of the vote to approve a strike.

IMO — this will impact prospective students’ opinions towards the university for a longer time period than the strike.
This really resonates with me. I had a solid team of what you’d call B-grade engineers for years, but for various reasons most of the team left over the past couple years and were replaced with C’s.

Perhaps from the University POV the point is less to not be wounded as to exact as high a possible cost for striking so that anyone involved and any future strikers don't think they have anything to gain from it, even if the University has things to lose from their choices.

Or to use a phrase that goes around these days: the cruelty is the point.
Many grad students are pretty much completely at the mercy of their advisor and university.

Grad students are also very disposable, and, normally, prospective new students will have no idea of the wronged-student body count of any advisor or university.

One exception, in this case, is you have a group of students in the US national news, so it might be harder for this university to get grad students in the near future.

(Though US affluent families will be sending kids to ride out recession in grad school, and there's only so many admissions slots, so some kids can't be picky about where they go, even if they happen to have been paying attention to the news. And there's also international demand for US grad school slots.)

Yes, the Samsung Note not only has a place to put your stylus, it actually 'clicks' in so normal knocks & bumps won't cause it to fall out.

AND, when you intentionally remove it, by clicking, it pops out and the Notes app is automatically fired up.

Apple just doesn't do this on iPhones. Why not?
Oh - as far as I'm aware it's quite legal for them to be doing all this. But, especially in the US where healthcare is not guaranteed universally, cutting such an essential service is just going to create an even bigger wave of bad PR. A lot of people in the US have very strong feelings about the healthcare system and Temple just decided to highlight how cruel it can be in their dealings with a strike and bring that debate into the middle of their labor negotiations - that isn't a good thing for Temple as it's more likely to attract big names and get political.

But legally, they're certainly in the clear - after Reagan forced air traffic controllers back to work it's been pretty clear that unions in America have essentially no guaranteed rights.

I don’t see that some people crash them while drunk as a valid reason to not sell supercars and hypercars.
Where do you see that they are cancelling it? Nothing in the statement I see precludes Temple from paying the remission if the strike resolves in two weeks, well before the due date. Even if the strike goes on longer, and the tuition so due is not paid, the penalty is still relatively a minor; a fine, and inability to register for the following quarter (presumably Fall, over 7 months away).
How are you going to decide who fills the role of captain? In this hypothetical, is there any accounting for merit and individual agency?
Temple is subject to Pennsylvania law and section 1006 of PA Act 195 states "No public employe shall be entitled to pay or compensation from the public employer for the period engaged in any strike."

For me it runs lightning fast, especially compared to other tools like Outlook. Clicking any message loads it instantly, searching through my 30000 emails in 10 different accounts is also instant, etc. Why is my experience so different? Mostly everything is on default settings.

In the case of houses, I would think in most cases there's less conflict between prettiness and efficiency, for things like furniture there's much less space for the aesthetics to make a given piece more or less functional or efficient.

How do you manage historical context ?
I think when it comes to the tech business, due to the VC voodoo of the recent past, where "possibilities" are propped up long enough to safely exit while leaving the economic realities of a business to the public markets, basic economic realities have been traditionally ignored in the tech sector. The idea that there's some use for a tech doesn't justify its cost if the revenue isn't there. Most headline AI products have been financial duds (voice, self-driving cars) despite whatever enthusiasm and wonder they've inspired.
At the end the real question is what morality the AI is being taught ? It’s own ? A religious inspired one ? It can’t be non if a machine decides not to help or worse, do actions that hurt or kill someone.
Would they abide to laws ? Be destroyed if anything happens ? Would people could influence machine with dialogue and make them do something ?

What’s the purpose and imposed limits of such machines ?

> I'm not sure why they don't explicitly write in the report that the driver may have been trapped in the back seat, and was unable to locate or use the mechanical release to escape.

Because the NTSB cannot establish that conclusively given the almost total lack of physical evidence remaining after the vehicle fire.

It does not mean that a vehicle defect does not actually exist from the NTSB's point-of-view. It just means that the NTSB lacks the physical evidence to conclude anything there.

(I personally find the necessary "additional steps" required for exiting the vehicle from the rear seats in the event of a power loss troubling.)

More broadly, this NTSB report is being misinterpreted by many here.

The "probable causes" (not "causes") and "lessons learned" (tellingly distinct from the NTSB's more traditional "safety recommendations") established in the final report are exactly tailored to the physical evidence and physical facts that did remain independently of Tesla (the company) - and no more.

The actual title of the HN submission is, in my view, inappropriately written by excluding the word "probable".

Ask HN: What would you want from a website dedicated to release notes?
I'm thinking about building a website that scrapes release notes from sources like https://community.ui.com/releases, https://github.com/rack/rack/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md, https://developer.android.com/about/versions/13/release-notes etc, and cleans them up & formats into the same format so they can be searched a lot easier.

It seems like the best place to start would be for folks who read HN since we refer to these quite a bit day-to-day to figure out what changes in software, apps, etc. Let's open this up with a few questions:

1. Would you find a service like this useful? Why or why not?

2. What release notes would you want to have formatted into the same thing and why?

3. What features or capabilities would you like to see a service like this do? e.g. would you like to select multiple "products/apps/whatever" and see their release notes in one timeline? Side-by-side? etc. etc. etc.

The fact that Apple does advertise the Pencil and its features is a hopeful sign that we will continued to see more, and more sophisticated Pencils & apps that use them. I hope.

Large cars impose negative externalities that a gas tax doesn't capture, like greater danger and less space for other people who share the road. In the case of large electric vehicles, a gas tax also doesn't capture the cost they impose in terms of the wear and tear of the roads.

What's needed is a road use tax predicated on the size and weight of a car, and how congested the roadways it uses are. The latter point implies paying less tax if you use the car at times of the day when roads are not congested, or use routes that are less congested.

No because the loss of benefits extends to a period outside of the strike. It’s like taking somebody’s entire year of wages because they went on strike for a couple of weeks.
