If you take the average kms driven in America of ~23,000 km per year and you take the already high and heavily carbon taxed gas price where I live in Canada of ~1.50 cad per liter then the gas cost to do those kms in a prius would be around 1,600 cad a year and the cost to do those kms in an f-450 super duty would be around 6,000 cad per year. 4,400 dollars canadian a year ( which is only around 3,200 USD) is not a big enough spread to overwhelm other, more valuable (to the consumer) considerations.

It doesn't help that the well intentioned policies mentioned in the article have effectively bifurcated the market in small and very big, removing consumer choice for smaller (but still large) vehicle designs (i.e. I would love to buy a modern small truck or a hatchback approaching station wagon size, they don't really exist.)

The correct conclusion to me seems to be that, given the physic situation drivers experience on the road, it's foolish to continue pushing on fuel efficiency as we are and instead we need to focus on making the road physics situation unpalatable to these kinds of vehicles to lower their value to consumers (with the added benefit of increasing road safety because the things that make the physics situation unpalatable to huge vehicles are in the same design real as all the stuff people like not just bikes on youtube push that will also make the city more walkable and bikable aka livable).
Which bank is offering 5.9% APY? Just curious, whats wrong with Sofi?
I'm skeptical that those 99% would ever be interested in Kagi's value proposition at all. Kagi is a niche product in the contemporary context of ad funded free search engines, and it would have to survive until the other side of the adoption curve before it can reliably sell itself to the average person.
Hopelessly immoral? I've used plenty of cracked software in my younger days and not once did I consider it immoral in the least. Some people just draw a line in the sand in a different place for software.

I just don't care at all about someone's "lost potential revenue". I consider it to be the same as skipping commercials with watching TV, or adblocking the web today.
Vespucci was an explorer but more importantly - a cartographer. Much like clever Dr Baum, it wasn't so much a discovery as a usurpation.

Indigenous humans didn't discover the Americas, they were just here already. And they had name(s) for the regions they inhabited. But if they hadn't done inter-continental travel they may not have decided to name the continents. Regardless of whether they gave the continents names, the names we use today became popular and they're now the convention. It's worth mentioning that many place names in this hemisphere are based on the corresponding name from the indigenous people.

Moral of the story - if you want a lasting legacy, don't invest your time in making discoveries, invest your time in taxonomy/toponomy.

In some places the general level of trust is so high that things like theft simply does not happen.

Yes there's a possibility one might lose valuable stuff not kept in safes. There's also the possibility of loosing the keys (or forgetting the combination) of the safe.

And lastly, wouldn't it be so badass ironic if the safe sent a code to your email for verification? :D
Thank you for mentioning GPT partition tables. The whole time I was reading this thread I kept feeling like there was something I was forgetting. I even just nuked one of my linux tinkering laptops this weekend and reinstalled.
Exactly. I have worked on highly efficient work sites where everything and everybody was working like a well oiled machine with enough brakes so everybody could do their best job and short enough hours it could be done ad infinitum.

And then I have seen places where unsuprising basic human necessities like "a person has to pee" or "someone is sick" endanger the whole operation.

Sorry but either you want your process to be resilient and reliable OR you want a pile of burning garbage held together by duct tape that is constantly on the edge of collapse for the price of some miniscule savings that are gone when one such collapse happens.
From your long description of the travails of using your phone with a terminal, I’m not sure you know this: you can double-click the power button at any time, and it will do Face ID and pre-approve a transaction - _then_ you can hold it to the terminal to pay.

I’m imagining you, from the description, holding the phone to the terminal then trying to frame your face so that Face ID can see it - which works, but is as annoying as you seem to be describing.
For me personally, as a non english native speaker that never even lived on an english speaking country, the term redneck was always self explanatory: it comes from the sun burns on the necks of white farmers. To think anything other than that is the origin for the term is just stupid. Makes the whole claim by that guy to have been tested and having an "off the charts" IQ seem very dubious.
> The atomic_() functions are (on most architectures, x86 included) implemented using GCC/Clang's __atomic_* functions, with various __ATOMIC_* orderings chosen as appropriate.

There is no one-size-fits-all choice here, so "as appropriate" is almost definitionally a mistake. It turns out that "as appropriate" for Haiku means Sequential Consistency except on simple load and store, which have Acquire-release semantics instead for some (unexplained in my brief exploration) reason.

Still that does answer the question of why these structures seem to work for Haiku despite the lack of what you'd ordinarily expect in terms of ordering guarantees, it's eating a Fence for each Entry and a Fence for each mutex operation. It's a steeplechase!
> First, you have pretty high barriers to entry in the form of apprenticeships and per-state licensing requirements. Then you have the shit hours and shit customers that expect those shit hours.

This is actually true for many professions. I can say the same about my job as a teacher, my wife's work as a doctor etc. It's not that all these jobs suck. What sucks in general all over the world is people's attitude towards people doing work for them.

> There is no such a thing as “monopoly power”.

Yes there is, so I remembered fine on that count. Here is the article I read.

https://www.justice.gov/archives/atr/competition-and-monopol...

Where I was off a little was in mixing market power and monopoly power. As the article explains and corrects my statement to a degree, courts have found it difficult to assign monopoly power when market share is below 50%. However, it does seem possible that a monopoly power can still exist without historical levels of market share. I believe the historical cases do not necessarily apply to technology companies, because these companies throw their power around and enforce it via software and not materialized objects like railroads or commodities. I think being overly preferential to market share is a mistake, particularly for global companies where the market share will vary drastically. In addition, these technology markets are massive. Abuses and competition stiflingly can be very disruptive. They are also very easy to hide behind the complexities of software.
It's luxury in the financial sense because it's one of the expensive options compared to the competition.

Someone making 20 dollar can also afford to eat caviar, that doesn't make it mainstream.

Apple just made sure that it's spoons, forks and plates only accept caviar and not cereal or lasagna.
This was always possible, I own multiple books for kids which have obviously been made with random clip art and illustrations which are badly paired.

But proper illustration is so much better, I doubt it will go away.

Perhaps a better simile is hand made clothing: you can get mass produced stuff, or you can get small batch, or you can get handmade. There is a market for all of those.

They don't say, maybe they mean all versions of python?
The difference is: on both all Linux distros I know and from as far as I know all BSD derivitives (except PS' BSD) you can compile and use software that doesn't need to blessed by Tim Apple, be it either through the AppStore or via you forking over money to compile on other Apple hardware with an Apple certified license.

Telegram has stuck with me as a red flag. Mostly because Signal, which emerged around the same time, apparently had the better tech and was open. Not sure whether that changed.

Hah! Very good. Yes, just starting to work on the CBT. I'm definitely a work in progress :)
I don't understand why we don't also get serious about solar and wind. Canada has so much land and so much coast, setting up huge renewable infrastructure would be pretty great. Up in northern parts of Canada they can easily get 2,500-3,000 hours of sunlight a year. They'd have to use some solar panel cleaning robots[1] for the winter to deal with the snow, but I'd imagine there are some technical solutions and if not, pave the way!!

2FA is usually imposed onto people.

I am afraid it's rather original. Afraid since originality in politics increases the chance of assassination, or even worse, marginalization.

One technical issue to solve beforehand is reducing the cost of elections by 6-7 orders of magnitude. 2020 US election costed $14 billion (presidential and congressional) [1], 2020 India election costed $7 billlion [2]. It's completely unsustainable. Sending 500 million HTTPS messages using Amazon SES costs around $50,000. Perhaps elections should cost a bit more, but not with much, in order to be able to run them every other day/month.

The fact that our societies are unable to hold elections often and at the cost of spam emails is also a sign we are not trending towards increasing democracy.

IMO, rustc_codegen_gcc is much more reasonable in scope. It also stands a chance of actually keeping up with subsequent Rust releases. I would be surprised if gcc-rs ever achieved any traction. Not to say it's not a fun project, but I can't see it replicating rustc.
> If you don’t include some measure of employee satisfaction, retention, wellness, etc, then you will optimize the system at their expense.

I would go further and say: if your process cannot tolerate the things you should expect when working with humans (e.g. someone needing to go to the toilet, someone staying home sick), it is just a badly designed process.

As you said the cost of overreaching will show somewhere else. Maybe not immediately, but it will. And if you are unlucky it will show up with a literal bang and blood on your hands.
In Europe, the price of goods for something like 4.13 would be more 4.5, if not 4.95.

Ask HN: Am I growing up too fast?
I am currently a freshman in college, and although my original plan was to return home and spend time with my friends and family, I have been presented with an incredible opportunity for an onsite internship with a startup. The pay is really good and it's in a city I've never been to before. I grew up in the rural south and the idea of getting out and being able to do what I love in a big city is pretty appealing to me. However, I am starting to have reservations that maybe I'm growing up too fast. I am pretty privileged. If I don't take this internship I will be going back to a nice house, good family, and good friends. This internship is a pretty incredible opportunity and could definitely kick start my career in a very real way, but is it worth it? Is the head start and pay worth never having a free summer until I'm retired (assuming I continue to get internships)? I can't tell if I'm making the right decision in taking the internship. There are no other interns and I'm just worried about being in a big city by myself during one of the last truly free summers of my life I guess. I may be overreacting, but I need to make a decision soon and would appreciate any advice.

Pretty arrogant to assume that if the US wasn't available as the most fertile ground for tech companies, then there would be "anything". That's like saying that without China no electronics would be manufactured.

Profit-seeking companies flocking to the most profitable jurisdiction is natural. If that jurisdiction was not available, most of them would simply go to the next most profitable one.
As a person in modern society, I am personally pretty tired of being treated and thought of as a percentage. So I don't like to think of others as percentages.

A Better Argument for Working Less

Valve's VR ecosystem has been quite healthy as it actually caters to what its users want. PC based VR with wires is very unsexy right now but the index consistently delivers an experience that can't realistically be matched. VR is here to stay but it won't become ubiquitous overnight.

Valve is building hardware that acts like a monitor while almost everyone else is pushing the equivalent of VR smart TVs. People want to do fun things that were impossible with previous technology. All facebook's metaverse has to offer is a vision of its users "working" and "shopping" under total surveilance. People's rightful rejection of that doesn't say that much about the medium of VR itself.
Mutual Aid _means something_[0], and it's not just places where people share tools to work on their own stuff, but it is that too.

These sorts of places aren't uncommon because maybe, just maybe, that's how things have been for eons and naturally have been as an evolutionary adaptation to millennia of change. In this case, cars are the focus. But one could see the expansion of the concept.

The IQ thing is barely a side story. An attention grabber. People will focus on that, and some will use it to add to the pile of things to care more about the point. But I hope some will accidentally see it as, "hey, smart people do smart things so mutual aid is a smart thing."

I held on to 1P7 as long as I could. The integrations when they work are pretty amazing and was worth upgrading to keep those functional. But still, didn't need to do those app changes for integration improvements.
> The trick, I suspect, is in knowing what "reacting accordingly" truly looks like for a given set of numbers.

I gather (from personal and other's experience) that most managers who are "data driven" just want to see data that matches what they are already planning to do. If you present data that is contrary, it's never fully acknowledged or engaged with. Similarly, thinking about systems and incentives is harder than just telling people what to do and expecting it to be done because you said so.
If the reporter hasn't received a list of the things tested-for-and-negative, from a representative of the competent institution that did the testing, that's definitionally 'hearsay' in a legal context. Even in a lay context, I'd say that's hearsay from the perspective of both the reporter, and the article readers (albeit not from the perspective of the mother who received the claim directly herself).

Your point about only finding what's tested for is valid, and when imprecise assurances are passed from unnamed-medical-tech, to grieving mother, to reporter, it's especially likely relevant details get either filed-off, or embellished. A kind but nondefinitive mention, "we didn't see any evidence of intoxicants" could morph into the far-stronger claim, "they said they tested but found no trace of drugs or alcohol".

Note also the UC Davis burn center is more-than-an-hour by medivac from Black Rock Desert. If Mitchell was effectively lost before he arrived (even if not "called"), would any toxicology even be run? It wouldn't change the treatment or prognosis.

Also, at least one info page from a peer institution (UCSF) about toxicology screens does not include LSD, MDMA, or many other hallucinogens in its otherwise-detailed list about what might be detected: https://www.ucsfhealth.org/medical-tests/toxicology-screen

When I first saw the vague reference to "friends from Switzerland" in the article – without names or any reporting followup to speak with these last pre-incident witnesses – I even thought it might be a sly euphemism for a large LSD dose, given that substance's roots in Switzerland. But seeing that Mitchell had resided in Switzerland, seeing some friends from there becomes the far more credible interpretation.

Your summary lessons are great advice!
In Finland, at least, the most common way is to get people to download an app, or join a bonus club. I'm sure they use visual analytics too, but identifying store visitors means storing personal data, which you can't do without explicit consent.

It's explicitly not a business. But to your point, I wish they went more into explaining how their system works without it being a business.
> Even within companies you can see both approaches used.

Every company I’ve worked for has been a great place to work for some categories of people. If you weren’t in one of those preferred categories, your treatment could be anything from okay to grueling overwork depending on how easily they thought they could replace you.

As engineers we’re often lucky to be on the most generous end of this spectrum, especially in recent years. However, I made the mistake of joining a company where the CEO believed having engineers was an “unfortunate necessity” to run the business. It went about as well as you’d expect. Unreasonable expectations, demands, working hours, deadlines, and a constant groveling at our salaries.

IT admins are an example of chronically under-appreciated employees. They keep things running and supported in an office, but I’ve seen them treated as disposable in too many offices.
