I recently went through a car shopping experience and i spreadsheet-ed the crap out of both identifying a vehicle(based on few criteria important to me, such as fuel economy, front leg room and front hip room[1], safety and reliability) and comparing potential candidates on the used car marketplace.

Cars that mostly met my criteria were Tesla Model Y Long Range and Toyota Camry hybrid. I then proceeded to calculate the cost in fuel($4.40/gallon near me) and in energy($0.35.kwh off-peak thanks PG&E) and the cost to drive Tesla for 1000 miles were within a dollar of the cost for Camry Hybrid to do the same thing.

But Tesla would cost $20k more and a trip SF-LA would mean 2 stops to recharge, whereas Camry Hybrid can do it on a single tank of gas.

So i bought a lightly used 2020 Camry hybrid after expanding my search to about a 500 mile radius using AutoTempest.com which aggregates multiple car marketplaces.

[1] My current car at the time was Volvo XC70 with extremely comfortable seats that Volvo is known for and i wanted to replicate as much of that comfort as I could.
Because the primary purpose of language is communication and if you aren't accomplishing that then you have some other reason for using it. Slang changes all the time -- no one says 'true dat' anymore.
I think it's a reference to how openly they betrayed public goodwill
Universities aren't always better than private companies with respect to patents and licensing. Sometimes they're much worse because there's no real reciprocity of licensing.

Governments could set up national labs to develop communication technologies but they're not going to be competitive with private companies pay wise. If you're a radio engineer you can be stuck on a government schedule salary or get a nice six figure "Tech Company" salary and fat stock options. Why work at the government lab when your same skills will get to twice as much at Apple or Qualcomm?

I'm not arguing for the status quo but the alternatives aren't necessarily better for the public nor the engineers doing the work.
Someone on HN many years ago recommended the book, “Learned Optimism” and said it was life-changing for them.

huh neat. a couple weeks back I had a conversation with ChatGPT where I asked it if it had special control tokens it could emit, and after a lot of coaxing I got it to tell me about 
. I wasn't sure if it hallucinated it but I guess not?
Thanks for that, although it's slightly different from what I'm asking. That thread seems to be about banning generated comments. But I'm concerned with the good-faith instances of it, where commenters are arguing about ChatGPT and pasting example responses to make their point. This gets out of hand quickly and fills the screen with text my eyes are already learning to skim over ("<repeated prompt>"... <multiple paragraphs> ... "Overall...").

I hope as a community that we self-moderate this kind of comment and develop some etiquette around it, like linking to the response and only quoting the portions of it necessary to win whatever battle you're waging in the comments section.
I am pretty sure that I don't have a settings page available on my account as silly as that sounds.

Hopefully someone else can back me up on that, but it might not be an available feature unless you have a certain amount of karma.
How Companies Can Lose Workers Without Imposing Layoffs
The GS schedule capped out below what I was making at the time. Other commenters here have pointed out what the dollar value is, but I forget the designation for the salary band.
I suspect that quite a few people used the stimulus, the rent forbearance, and the student loan repayment pause to spend money on things they couldn't otherwise have afforded. Unfortunately in some cases they used debt to do it.

But now that money is running out, and gas/food/rent got more expensive, and I bet some people who bought new cars they couldn't really afford are not making their payments on time.

However I also would bet that a decent portion of the people in that situation are not on a low income, but are just people who overspent on their car. I've seen people with six-figure salaries get too deep into car payments before. It's a really common problem.
Even with a transaction, if the processing involves external side effects, e.g. sending and email, the rollback won't matter and you still get at least once.
So the author spent the article responding to Twitter takes from journalists and looking at stats from economists who are pretty much all old and financially secure... I didn't see anywhere where the author looked at what teenagers themselves say is bothering them, either with interviews or studies. Maybe we should get their opinion before concluding that they're being irrational?
Can this bypass something like ransomware. If the hard drive is encrypted by something like bitlocker, or if you forgot the decryption password.

After the last couple decades of our tech industry, I'm wondering who's going to be capable of executing on those viable product ideas.

When the goal isn't "growth" and IPO/M&A exit, but to provide a product that people want, in a viable business model... and to do it without huge hiring... a lot of us will have to recalibrate/relearn how to think about everything we do.

For airports specifically, look for an official taxi stand with an attendant. I flew into Santiago about 15 years ago to spend a month in Chile and didn't think twice about being scammed. Everything I read said that Chile and (modulo city life) Santiago had and still has relatively low prevalence of crime and corruption, by any standard. While I'm always wary of pick pockets and other random street crime, some places you tend not to worry about organized or systematic criminal rackets wrt mundane activities. So I just jumped into a cab at the airport without looking for a taxi stand.

Recently I came across a forum where people were discussing a supposedly well-known and long-time scam at the Santiago airport involving taxis picking people up and extorting money. So perhaps I dodged a bullet (or an adventure) at the Santiago airport. Of course, there's no guarantee an attendant wouldn't be in on the scam, but the goal here is reasonable risk minimization, otherwise your only real option is to hunker down in some Japanese or Swiss suburb.
The good news: an ADHD diagnosis is a positive experience. ADHD is treatable. In general, getting diagnosed with ADHD means you can start making the changes to improve your situation. Medication and techniques to help you are available.

The not so good news: ADHD isn't going anywhere. It can affect many aspects of life. It's something that needs constant attention and there is no magical silver bullet that will fix all of you problems.

I struggled through university and then didn't really make much career progress in my 20s. I was diagnosed at 30 and started taking stimulant medication. Well my life since then has not been perfect it's definitely on an upward trend. I'm doing better at work and in interpersonal relationships. You've already noticed emotional disregulation in yourself.

Start by informing yourself. There is a lot of bad information around about ADHD.

Here in Japan, all the railroads are privately-owned, including the subway systems.
Super cool. If I understand correctly:

- There's no IDL file, like a .proto file. Instead, weaver looks for marker interfaces by embedding weaver.Implements[T].

- Weaver interfaces must be serializable, which explicitly support protobufs. Was the intent to be able to port gRPC services to weaver?

- Weaver maintains a list of deployments, and each deployment has components. Components may only communicate with components belonging to the same deployment. Sounds like a way to implement atomic deploys.

- Named listeners are mapping over a net.Listener?

Sidenote: I'm going to steal the metrics implementation. I haven't found a lightweight metrics implementation for GCP.

An end to negative votes. No one cares if you don't approve of something. If you don't agree and discuss your concerns, that's worthwhile. I suspect that many negative votes are an emotional response to some unwelcome truth. That is damaging to free discussion.

In my opinion and experience it's better to be the younger version who runs lots of experiments. While the older version may feel more wise, and may have taken some lessons from the past that helps him be aware of pitfalls in the future, there's always the danger of hindsight bias. The older version has ideas about why referrals didn't work, or the counter didn't work, but they might not be right (and I suspect they're not exactly right as Duolingo still contains different versions of affiliate referrals and counters).

A better strategy is to think about it in terms of tradeoffs - if I build an affiliate program, what does that mean I won't build? I got the sense from the article that they explored one growth idea at a time, as opposed to evaluating a group of options from the beginning. All things being equal it's probably best to spend a bit of time thinking about several opportunities before going off and building the first one. Previous product experience won't guarantee you can call what will work for the future, but it can help you weight options vs one another more effectively. You're much more likely to have a nuanced view of what's possible or what might go wrong.

You can use a database. Practically, most systems will keep a record of each message on disk in any case (at least they will have some logs) so it's not that outrageous. Safe to assume that the receiver can discard non-authenticated messages to avoid spam.

> that people living in the same country are indeed more closely related to each other than to people of different countries

These charts don't show what you apparently think they do. The samples in the larger datasets (like the HGDP) are chosen for their differentiation, often from indigenous groups, with admixture samples usually removed (the first adds in a few admixture types for the specifics of their study).
I'd say a mix of both. The Wii offers both 480i SDTV (for CRTs and LCDs, through the pack-in composite video cable) and 480p EDTV (better for LCDs, but you had to buy a higher-quality component cable) output. Unfortunately 480p-compatible CRT TVs were rare and far between. Additionally 480p doesn't actually take advantage of the full resolution of 720p/1080p LCD TVs, resulting in a blurry image on-screen (but fortunately free of composite and interlacing artifacts, and deinterlacing latency on some TVs).

Did middle-class Americans commonly have 480p LCD EDTVs, or were they a rare transitional stage of television with little uptake? My family jumped straight from CRT (technically rear projection) to a 1080p HDTV.

Early Wii games were built to output in both resolutions, adjusting the camera width and HUD to match. I think System Menu actually looks better in 4:3, since the channel icons mostly add empty featureless left/right borders when stretched to 16:9. Some later games (NSMB Wii, Skyward Sword) only display in 16:9, adding a letterbox if the Wii is configured to play in 4:3. Interestingly, in NSMBW playing in 4:3 saves two seconds in one scrolling cutscene, because the game objects are actually loaded underneath the letter box, and appear "on screen" sooner, cutting the cutscene short (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gkt8L3t1GEU).

Pretty dumb move. They got screwed on the terms. They should have said "$3.6 billion or 75 years, whichever comes first." A 200% return should be enough to get investors on board.

What does it mean to buy the rights to parking meters? Are they buying the physical meters along with the right to collect and enforce fees on them? If the city passes a law that says "no more parking meters, we use drone enforcement now", what happens? What happens if parts of Chicago become car free zones, do the investors get to sue the city? This seems so dumb. So, so dumb.
