The 25-year exception is intended for collectors and restorers. It is aligned with many states allowing historic/vintage/"horseless carriage" plates with limitations and reduced fees for vehicles over 25 years old. These rules are often something like must be driven < 1000 miles per year except trips to/from exhibitions and shows. The federal standards don't get so specific about restrictions on collector vehicles, they just get a lot looser about what can be registered after 25 years.
> The biggest injustice or problem with the web is lack of viable micropayments, not the lack of competition in Ads.

A better candidate for "biggest injustice" would probably be the RIAA/MPA and the copyright laws they paid for and continue to abuse for profit and control. It sounds like that was even what actually finally made this torrent site more trouble than it was worth (assuming that's why his site was null-routed by the host).

It threatens every single user, no matter if they deal in copyrighted material or make money doing so or not. The industry continues to push and push for more power and control over what we're allowed to see and hear.

They already have the power to force ISPs to kick people offline and never provide service for them again over nothing but unproven accusations that never see a courtroom.

They want the ability to force ISPs to block any website at any time within minutes - again because of unproven claims. They already have this ability in several countries around the globe, and until recently all of their attempts to enforce this in the US have failed. (https://www.techdirt.com/2022/05/04/who-needs-sopa-judge-ord...) but while they haven't been fully successful in the US yet, they keep trying.

They want the semi-anonymous access to the internet we have via VPNs and TOR eliminated

They want to eliminate or restrict any devices, technologies, components, and services that might facilitate the circumvention of DRM or allow the copying of content including things like youtube-dl, debuggers, and decompilers along with any site offering them or even just instruction on how to bypass DRM.

They want to force website operators to automatically filter uploads and remove content at their request.

They want to make streaming copyrighted material (like a song or video game) a felony punishable with imprisonment and they want some acts of piracy to carry life imprisonment as well as harsh criminal penalties for "attempted copyright infringement"

They want increased use of wiretaps and police resources for piracy investigations.

They've argued that ISPs offering faster internet speeds makes them liable for severe penalties under copyright law since it encourages pirates to use their service to commit infringements.

They have spent millions every year on lobbying. They have judges and lawmakers in their pocket. They've had their lawyers installed throughout the US justice department and they chip away every year at our freedom. There's basically no push back against them from anyone other than ISPs which have been losing in courts badly, and a handful of people on the internet who are even aware all of this has been going on and escalating.
Do you live in a tent? Would you make the same comparison about your house?

We live in our RV for 3-6 months a year, in weather from -10 in Colorado blizzards and 120 degree California summers. In rain snow and sleet. I work remotely from it.

A tent is not a home. An RV It is for many of us.

> [...] awful for those of us who would be interested in driving small, efficient foreign cars.

I currently drive a small efficient car, but I'm seriously contemplating buying an electric SUV for my next car, even though I've no use for it. I don't drive a lot, but every time I drive, I see drivers on their phones, drivers who don't signal, drivers who race the lights, drivers who don't turn their head lights on at night, and other general poor situational awareness, etc. etc. And about once a month I see someone run the red light by a _large_ margin.

By absolute measurements SUVs are worse in most metrics including safety, but alas prisoner's dilemma prevails. No amount of defensive driving on my part is gonna trump physics, if / when my tiny hatchback gets T-boned by a lifted truck.

There's a huge variability in the age of thymic involution. Some people have a relatively active thymus at age 50 or 60, whereas in others it has switched off by age 25 or 30.

For those not familiar with immunology, the thymus is what populates your immune system with brand new T cells equipped with freshly selected T cell receptors.

This suggests interesting anti-aging opportunities, such as artificial thymi to repopulate your immune system and keep a healthy and diverse repertoire.
This is how it should be. You should not get to train on other people's data for free. It sucks it has to be SO who puts the foot down but at least this is in the right direction. This way, the balance of power is more in content creators' hands, and this avoids the "death of original content creation" people keep complaining about. If you a) have to pay for your training data or b) have to generate your own data, then that incentivizes people to not charge cheapely, and good data from intellectuals, artists, writers, etc, becomes valuable and not something that can just be taken for free.

I would think weight of fuel required to land booster + legs + steering fins would be much greater than a parachute or two and a water landing. That weight savings would be a cost savings as well as more payload that could be lifted (also a cost savings).

Would the booster be destroyed landing in the ocean by parachute?

Show HN: Forte, an open-source self-hosted music platform, is now federated
Hey everyone, I've been working on this project for a few months and I am happy to announce that forte is now federated. With the latest release all forte servers can communicate with each other to build a collaborative music library of albums, artists, tracks and playlists. Server contents are shared between forte servers via public-key cryptography, which makes them hidden to the outside world. My implementation of the federation is a bit straightforward for now but feel free to leave a comment.

I really appreciate your support!

I don't disagree with you on that component of it existing.

The thing about policy is usually somebody big is warning the public ahead of time that the "affordable healthcare bill" (for another example) isn't actually affordable healthcare (it's mandated health insurance), get called debby-downers/negative/hateful, and then it happens that way anyway due to lawmaker and corp PR pushing it through while everyone else cheers. Actually reading the bill and thinking/wargaming how it will apply deterministically with basic thought experiments is discouraged. And all "sides" do this, from incentives.

I question the validity of the spirit of bills when it repeats like that so often. At some point that is the spirit of the bill.

This is of course ignoring the revolving door, regulatory capture, and lobbying angles, which are always in play some (maybe huge) %. Also predictable and deterministic, from incentives.

> Moreover, modern traction control systems are just plain good. This isn't something exclusive to electric cars—even gas-powered vehicles have achieved decent torque vectoring by modulating brakes independently at each wheel, but modern EVs take it up a notch by performing thousands of software-based every second.

While this is not wrong it's also missing the fact that EVs use AC VFD motors that don't need to have a closed loop response under traction loss due to the fact that the AC field will slow down the wheel of it tries to over speed just by nature of how the mechanism works. This helps keep the wheels in the static friction region where traction is highest. In trains this and other factors[1] contribute to a 2x increase in traction over DC motors. With an ICE you have all sorts of momentum in the flywheel and drivetrain that are trying to runaway until the system/driver reacts and compensates.

These figures are approximately right. We've been able to bring the cost of single-cell RNA-seq + TCR-seq runs down to $3000 by doing targeted gene expression, which requires less reads. Besides, some newer microfluidics platforms are able to yield more cells, close to 2e4.

I would say that the major limiting factor is the microfluidics platform. Ideally, we would require something that has a yield within the same order of magnitude of bulk methods. To address this limitation, one can e.g. pre-sort activated cells. Otherwise, the number of receptors is typically not enough to be able to observe meaningful statistical patterns.

That applies to x86 for sure. But the designers of ARM and RISC-V had the foresight to standardise the implementation of rsqrt to make it deterministic ... on each respective platform. But on either, the precision is only 7 bits.

Recent AMD and Intel x86-64 processors use 11 input bits, and the results are similar enough that only 22 results over the whole input range are different. Source: <https://robert.ocallahan.org/2021/09/emulating-amd-rsqrtss-e...>
