Because LIDAR is expensive and available in limited quantities. There's no way they could sell the amount of cars they are selling right now if each one came with a LIDAR.

We didn’t invent democracy in the US: it has been around since at least Ancient Greece, and before then, too. I am opposed to direct democracy and am absolutely fine with representative/republican democracy.

Police in the US seem to exist to perpetuate the institution of policing and secondarily to prosecute the drug war. Everything else seems to compete for priority 3.
You have a right to be not all that thrilled because of this. Unfortunately you seem to have hit a bug that we sometimes see and haven't been able to pin down. Normally if the network is flaky or the server slow, it should just reconnect when possible in a fairly seamless way
It turns out this is a very old discussion. There is a concept called a "lie of omission". Here's a wikipedia page about the entire concept of lies: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lie

A question for you: if you make a mistake or misunderstand something then share it, are you a liar?

I don't mean like your current actions - the part where you are pretending that you have never encountered the notion of lying like this is clearly itself some sort of lie. I mean like say you apply some math rule incorrectly on a test. Should you be kicked out for lying to the teacher?
> Not growing, not shrinking.

HN commenters love using anecdata. So please allow me to use one and speculate on this phenomenon. So we have a product. Three devs wrote the initial prototype. Then over time, they hired five more. For three years we've organically grown our codebase, adding more and more integrations. The business expanded and grew enormously. We had to deal with a lot of pain, trying to grapple with enormous amounts of data and constantly changing requirements. In addition to tons of back-end services, we also had to build three different web apps. The company had to hire two additional PMs and two more designers. But we've managed to hold the fort with the small team as we were. Occasionally, the question about hiring more devs would come up, and we interviewed people. A person one day left (for some fabulous offer) and we had to quickly hire a replacement. I no longer work there and they hired only two more after I left.

I mean, I can keep going with the story, but I think you get the gist of it. Clojure allows building enormously big operations with a handful of developers. I just can't imagine building and maintaining all that in other stacks. And as it turns out, even when we needed to add new product features, we didn't have to hire a new team for that. And the business was not restricted by the pace of our development. We continued adding new features and kept supporting the existing ones.

This is a very subjective example case, of course. But it makes me want to ask: if we didn't have to hire more developers, and I don't think I ever heard of any company massively trying to expand their Clojure teams, how would then Clojure grow? Is creating new Clojure-based startups the only answer?
I've said it in another reply, but the automotive industry would've switched to this amazing new standard, except it would've added a couple of dollars to the cost and a few hundred grams to the weight of the car, so they just had to wait for this?

Nintendo, controller drift. Worth looking up.

TL;DR: Controller drift class action lawsuit filed by parents thrown out, because their children were the actual "affected class". Refiled with the children as the class and thrown out again, this time because of an arbitration clause in the EULA their parents would have had to agree with.

Most folks just click 'accept' on any permissions dialog pop when using an app. They don't care what 'discover local network' or 'use bluetooth' means.

So, for many, it's just installing the app and it's collecting/signaling with their permission.
Independently, your phone transmits on bluetooth frequencies with a MAC, and that MAC is unique to your phone, so while it might not be linked back to you by a specific app, other apps might report (say, they play bluetooth audio or something), and get indexed and correlated elsewhere.

I think we're saying the same thing with different words. I'm saying that tech equity is deflationary. You're saying the price of tech equity is going down. Those are equivalent statements. The reasoning isn't that relevant. What is "macro economic outlook" other than an expectation about the future price?
IANAL but you don't have to prove 'beyond reasonable doubt' in civil cases, just balance of probability. If you fought this case I think you would have a very good chance of getting a judgement. Whether that gets you any actual cash is another matter.
> If you fact check and you're right, you've wasted your time.

That is not how it works. First of all there is no “you’re right”. The journalist doesn’t have first hand observations. They cannot be “right” or “wrong” only their source can be.

The journalist goes and checks what can be verified independently. No matter what the outcome of these checks nobody wasted their time. The result is a stronger article, and continued respect for the journalist in his profession.
my uncle bought a stolen bike from a bike-stealer-and-then-reseller in Taiwan in the 90s, brought it home with him when he went back to the US, and gave it to me when I moved to Redmond. I used it for a bit until the seat broke, after which it remained on the porch of my apartment, seatless, until someone stole it, apparently unperturbed by the lack of seat—I just figured it was karmic justice.

Countries with only an inflation target seem to do fine. To be fair, they don't want to undershoot or overshoot the target, which is sort of like having two goals.
To answer your question, no, I am utterly unenthusiastic about FSD. When I want to leave the driving to someone else I'll take the train.

Sure, there are a million consistent imaginary stories. My point is that _if_ a journalist has a reasonable sense that the speed limit regulations are related to the article in question or that the reader may want to know about them, then they should mention them. Indeed, all these other imaginary scenarios should also be mentioned if there is a reasonable case they may be involved in the increased rate of accidents.

The idea that the journalist should present only the directly related "bare facts" is so silly that I can't even take the suggestion as coming from a place of good faith.
> It’s like crying wolf, eventually you start ignoring it

The problem here lies in having a manufacturer shipping an unfinished product then relying on an endless stream of recalls to finish developing your vehicle.

These are supposed to be exceptional events. If they've become so frequent you're ignoring them, don't shoot the messenger.
Correct. Honestly, I'm a bit dismayed at the radio silence from AirBNB's Product teams in this thread. Vercel, Fly.io, AWS would be in here immediately.
Microsoft has an amazing library in Redmond. I used to spend a lot of time there.

I see it differently. I used to be a test engineer.

My tests made it onto documentation accompanying a $50,000 RF snooper (in 1985), and were verifications that the item passed the test.

I like it when tests don't fail.

Humans are narrative creatures. We literally think in stories, so it's not surprising to me that homeless people have a sad story that explains their homelessness.

We all tell ourselves stories (whether true or not) to process our actions and their consequences. For people who have been victimized, they sometimes become a slave to the story they tell themselves which can lead to learned helplessness.
But you don't save 5 dollars on 300 systems, you save less, per car. The price and weight of the cables has very little to do with the decision to use this vs other ethernet standards.
It's helpful to consider that BALTOPS itself is a batshit cover for one of the highest profile military operations of the last 20 years (it's sort of like the military equivalent of altering the schedule at the San Diego Comic Con to cover a heist), and that it might be hard to even come up with a reason that you'd need an Alta-class ship to pull this off, or really even a military ship at all; a lot of what Hersh is talking about here appears to be stuff that civilian extractive industry professionals already do (remote detonation in particular).
That's not breakup, that's some new debt or loss of income. Or anything else, really. That's the problem with "big data" - at scale it might work, but at the individual level the only thing you can be sort of sure is that something is going on with this source, but not what it is.

Thanks for your feedback!

I will definitely consider a way we could batch the marking of characters and words as known once you are through the onboarding. I am not sure if you've already set up an account or not, but I should mention that you are able to do this in the onboarding flow when you import characters.

I like your suggestion of the auto-recommendation of characters to learn based on your current knowledge and the frequency of words you could potentially access by knowing the next character. I will definitely consider how to incorporate this functionality. If you import characters through the onboarding, JinbuPal will automatically apply filters to recommend your first 20 characters to learn based on which unknown character have the least number of meanings and are most frequently used. However, this is just for when you complete the onboarding and I see a big benefit to making continual recommendations as you suggested.

In Seattle, they're on Craigslist. The thieves don't even bother to change the background of the photo (because heck, they don't need to!), but hey you can buy from a dealer who carries a wide variety of kids/road/mountain/etc.
The style of writing in this article is very odd. One example: "You are giving" rather than something like "we are receiving". Perhaps bing has been a good bing and helped improve the article?
That's what I'm saying about device variation: that downward pointing arrow would be incorrect on an iPad because the share button is in the top right. Exactly how far from the right depends on OS version, whether the screen is portrait or landscape, whether you have a larger text size enabled in accessibility settings...

And _all_ of this is ignoring the fact that Android also exists. Half the point of using the web is to be able to do stuff cross platform, once you start sniffing user agents and screen dimensions you're creating something doomed to fail in the long term.
It should be illegal. If stores want to be open to the public, they shouldn't be able to force people to trade surveillance for cash discounts; grocery store shoppers are in no way qualified to evaluate either the short-term or long-term costs of selling their privacy, and not selling your privacy to every store you shop at becomes a permanent tax. If you want to offer discounts to members, stop selling to the general public and only sell to your membership.

Yes absolutely. People will learn a new way of interacting with webapps. Currently nobody installs a pwa. But maybe that'll change. Going through the web browser is inconvenient for some apps (unnecessary extra menu on top). After installing however, the experience is very similar.
It depends on how abstract you consider a "library". My employer does have a library of physical books, but they're almost never used. On the other hand they have an enormous amount of digital internal data - Wikis, API docs, design docs, Stack Overflow-esque Q&A, and more - that's well indexed and can be collectively searched via one query. Those assets are used constantly every day by everyone (and even moreso if you consider code search part of your library).

Books have a higher cost to entry - you have to buy them, you have to store them, you have to get out of your chair and go get them, and you have to find the relevant data point in them. They're not suited to topics where the answer or the state of the art changes every few months.

I have a library in my home office, but there's nothing in it that I consult every week or even every month. Broadly, my library can be broken down into a few themes:

1. Books that I found valuable and lend out often (but don't necessarily need to reference) - things like "The Design of Everyday Things", "Working Effectively With Legacy Code", "Staff Engineer", "Peopleware", etc.

2. Books that contain information that is not easily and immediately available in an internet search (most often non-technical history books)

3. Subjects I reference on occasion but need detailed information from (Skiena - Algorithm Design Manual, CLRS, etc.)

4. Things that bring me joy to reread or even just look at and reminisce about reading (this is for anyone a personal list - for me it's things such as Ignition!, R.V. Jones' Most Secret War, the works of Neal Stephenson and Robert Caro, and more)

There are of course exceptions, such as the unspoken category 5 (virtue signaling) - I'm probably never actually going to read those Knuth tomes or even finish that Dostoyevsky, but they look impressive on the shelf behind me in video calls - but over time I've gotten better about eliminating those.

> PWA app has significantly lower responsiveness, constant mis-touches on buttons, loading screens for every click etc.

That's certainly not inherent to every PWA, e.g. there is no need to have a "loading screen for every click".
On reflection, I guess I could have sued them for the value of the bike; it would have been a civil case, so it wouldn't have depended on proof, just on the balance of probabilities.

I doubt they would have contested it; it would have been an easy win. But they might have paid me a visit and set fire to my flat.
That’s literally it.

It’s probably inferior to both Spotify and Apple Music, but if you’re going to pay for YouTube premium anyway and are able to endure the weird UI… Then it might save you a small monthly fee you’d otherwise pay to competing services.

It’d never survive in the market as it’s own service, and it’s clearly inferior even to its own predecessor Google Music.

I don't think it's pedantry, I think it's misleading to non-technical consumers, the ones that can't easily differentiate a true fact of your product and an aspirational goal.

Ok but don't you have to weigh that against the potential of avoiding accidents by reacting quicker then you as a human can?

I have defiantly seen cases where FSD Beta stopped and the driver didn't understand instantly understand why.

Or simpler cases where the car follows a lane while the driver wasn't paying attention (adjusting the radio or whatever). Those can easily lead to an accident but are unlikely to if you are in FSD.

How do you make that calculation?
