It's a nuclear option and you need to justify it, but having made good-faith efforts to cancel will cover you, as any company starting legal action will also need to explain their side of events and why they ignored your good-faith effort to cancel. This will also bring any of their dark patterns to light in front of a court which they definitely wouldn't want, so in practice you are fine.
You are correct that nobody needs a luxury vehicle but those are the brands that the Fords and Chevys of the world will emulate in their mid to lower priced tiers.
I’m pretty sure my UK broker refused to allow me trade US stocks until I filled out the W8-BEN.
"Only if"..well yea. And why wouldn't it? I don't know what you're basing your thesis on, it is very common to have currency moves in either direction that massively exceed the differential in US vs Euro rates. Making bets on how it plays out is also a big market, but in that case you're a currency trader...is that the type of risk profile of a non-trader looking for short term fixed income/savings? I doubt it.

One should probably default to making returns in the currency they buy things and pay taxes in unless there's an obvious reason not to. Trying to make an extra ~2% on short term rates seems like picking up nickels in front of a steam roller. Euro is up like 16% from the bottom last summer, and when it trends it can go for a while. Sounds risky.
It's fine if they get more profit from having a better and more unique product for some sub-market. Everyone is happy in that case.

Utah is unique in that the Mormon church essentially runs everything there. Lived there for years, and it's no secret. You get the occasional gerrymandered district or SLC mayor who are less conservative.

I enjoyed playing through this.

Once you play through this, you can go back to *2. Repeated games* and get the highest score against all the different opponents – But you must know who you are dealing with.

• The copycat, never cheat them until the last round.

• The always-cheat, don't ever play with them at all (you will lose a coin guaranteed).

• Always-cooperate, cheat them each round, they won't learn.

• Grudger don't cheat these guys either, until the last round.

• Detective is slightly strange. You cheat him first three rounds, then cooperate. From there, cooperate another two times, then cheat on the last round. You play against the detective for more rounds than the other characters.

The detective at first sounded promising, but the way the detective is worded means that they won't capitalize on always-cooperate by cheating them, they just turn into copy cats after the 4th interaction.

Sometimes I wonder if the novels we write about friendship and betrayal is just game theory writ into our collective storytelling.
It's really unfortunate that we fail to price in negative externalities for other energy sources.

THIS IS WHY WE NEED DATA FUCKING OWNERSHIP.

Users should be able to have a recourse to the use of their data in both of terms utility (for the parent company) and in terms of financial value to the parent company to the financial extraction of that value.

Let me use cannabis as an example…

When multiple cannabis cultivators (growers) combine their product for extraction into a singular product we have to figure out how to divide and pay the taxes..

> People just choose to congregate and use the same handful of apps.

And this has always been true, even in "the days when the internet was vast" according to the author. Back when AOL was the largest internet provider, most AOL subscribers thought AOL was "the Internet", just as many Facebook users now seem to believe that Facebook is "the Internet". The AOL subscribers had no idea that they could go anywhere on the Internet, not just to the places that AOL pointed them. (I was on CompuServe in those days, not AOL, and CompuServe users seemed to be at least somewhat more savvy on average--and CompuServe wasn't as insistent on being a gatekeeper as AOL was.)
Happens all the time. I remember Figma founder saying they will never be acquired and then boom.
> E-fuses enforce Secure Boot. Secure Boot, which cannot be disabled, are used to ensure that no exploit, no virus, no modification, can last beyond a reboot. If I want to put my device back into a guaranteed-secure state (at least for the moment), a reboot will always do the trick. I don't need to reinstall the operating system every time I'm uncertain.

That may work in case of Android or iOS as a whole package (or not) but all e-fuses achieve is that some fixed boot ROM bootloader loads and checks the next stage of boot code against some key and runs it. That's all. All the rest of the verification rests on the mountain of buggy code down the road.

It doesn't guarantee anything else you mentioned. If you ever signed and published a bootloader stage that has bug/fetaure allowing the attacker to bypass signature checking on any code further down, the whole scheme becomes completely useless.

For guaranteeing clean code, all you need to do is to boot clean code. :) Hardware has to reliably allow you to force boot from external storage without running any code that the attacker could have modified. That's all. Very simple and reliable. Some phones allow this. Some SBCs do allow this, too.

[Hopefully] "secure boot" is strictly less reliable and less optimal and much more complicated than this, with way more opportunities to be bitten by bugs in its implementation.

That’s a bit presumptuous. I was enthusiastic about the interview until afterwards

The interview was conducted by the recruiter and while she didn’t flat out ask personal questions, she asked questions that would almost cause me to reveal personal information such as my marital status and sexuality. It was not fun coming with made up responses to avoid that because it’s none of her business.

There’s a reason interviews should stay professional. I’m surprised they haven’t been sued.
If that were true then we'd all still be driving 2-cylinder air cooled put-puts.

I'm not telling you what to desire in a vehicle. I'm just saying that reactionary ludditism makes for poor market analysis. People want connected cars, period. I don't make the rules.
> The main upside of running your own SD is that you can completely automate it

No, the main upside of running your own SD web UI is that you can select and deploy your own checkpoints (not just using the base SD models), LoRas, embeddings, upscaling models, and UI plugins supporting additional services/models/features like multidiffusion (bigger gens and controls of which areas within the image different prompts apply to), ControlNet and associated models, video synthesis, combinatorial prompts, prompt shifting during generation to do blending effects, and, well, a million other things.

Also, you can completely automate it.
The difference being, in this case, the author is giving examples of places where their product is clearly behind.

This isn't a prediction, it's an observation. There's no moat because the castle has already been taken.
Has anyone actually used this? I poked around and it's so poorly documented that I don't see how one can readily, short of trying to go through the code, understand how to do a minimal run.
It feels to me like if the goal was to help Canadian artists who are "drowned out" by US media, it would suffice to launch a government-run non-profit streaming platform exclusively for Canadian content - then all people looking for it would know exactly where to go, and artists would get all the money that those people are willing to give.

And if that scheme is not sufficient, then we're talking about forcing people into consuming content that they wouldn't otherwise.
One unbelievably annoying thing about seemingly every map provider is that they don’t like showing state or national boundaries.

On google maps, these national boundaries have the same line weight and a similar style to highways. It’s really annoying.
I think the actual problem is that most of them are not made up to the possible LED reliability standard; they either overheat LEDs, cutting usable lifetime to fraction, or have controller/power supply failure before that.

LED light bulb might be less ecological but having to produce 40x as much (including packing, shipping, storing etc) incandescent on top of higher energy production required ought to compensate enough for that.

But if random LEDs customers buy burn out after few years for bad design reasons that's not great...
One issue with the current generation of open source models is most have been based on some llama core architecture, and that's not licensed for commercial use. Once you get to the point of spinning up a full and easy API, and selling API credentials, you're entering into the commercial clause. Once we have a llama alternative (or a more permissively licensed separate architecture) I guarantee hosting providers like Render or Model are going to come in with an API offering. Just waiting on those core models to improve licensing, would be my guess.
You'd presumably be using the secure boot to authenticate the device, on the network and elsewhere.
I read an article about GDPR this morning, and it clarified that there is no minimum damage threshold either. So someone could pursue a GDPR claim for 5 cents damage (the example in the article). A rational person wouldn't of course, but a competitor might.
For me, it's Emacs keybindings everywhere. Well really readline commands. I don't use super heavily (mainly just C-a, C-b, C-e, C-p, and C-n)

Every computer I use, I remap control to caps lock. On my work Mac, nothing really changes since these commands work globally.

On my home PC, I run stock Ubuntu and use gnome-tweaks to set emacs commands.

These commands are so ingrained on how I edit text, I feel extremely uncomfortable without them. The deal breaker when using a new desktop environment or Windows, is whether I can get this setup up and running.

Does anyone have any hacks for supporting Readline out of Gnome or MacOS?

Resident Doctors at NYC Hospital Vote to Authorize Strike, Following Peers
I agree with this comment. I have a smart TV that does not show me ads. I could have bought maybe a better one that shoots Ads every now and then, but finally, luckily there is still choice. Same either cars. There are so many nice brands out there that it's now difficult to choose from - no offense to Mercedes, but there is so much good competition for that price...!
Definitely agree with concerns regarding the UX. While I'm sure many of us here can understand the following paragraph from the article...

> In fact, if you sign in on a device shared with others, you should not create a passkey there. When you create a passkey on a device, anyone with access to that device and the ability to unlock it, can sign in to your Google Account.

... I wonder about the general layperson, especially older generations who (in my experience) tend not to use very secure passwords or MFA. Historically, all they would need to do is use their username and password, and now they are into their account, regardless of which device or location they are at. With passkeys, they have to not only learn a new login paradigm, but also remember that it's different if they are signing in at e.g. the library vs on a desktop at home.
If you're in a 5G cell isn't that superior to Starlink for purely technical reasons anyways?
A socio-positivistic statistical study that involves a molecular substance-human interaction is already epistemically imprecise and type-theoretically invalid. You would want a molecular-human statistical study, even for just one person to obtain more precise objective data. Throw the experimental design out and try a responsively appropriate approach for the subject matter, I would advise.
Truly their experience must have been an inauthentic one, then.

What a hilarious nitpick at an obvious turn of phrase. Do you think I actually meant to say people were literally kept in little cells with bars?
For the landlord situation, what's the additional harm here if the facial recognition system is inaccurate for people of a certain skin color?

From the article, the concern here is that the landlords are "trying to find ways to expedite ways of flushing people out of the building". Presumably this tech could make it easy to identify tenants violating their lease agreement. For example, detecting repeat non-residents using keys to enter the building as a sign of illegal subletting.

But if the face rec system incorrectly identifies someone for potential lease violations, the landlord still needs to go through additional human verification and present proof to a judge to start the eviction process. Especially in NYC, the landlord needs to go to court with a lot of evidence to secure an eviction. So it seems like inaccurate facial recognition would be good for the tenants. If the results are inaccurate enough it eventually defeats the whole purpose of the system.

(this is very different from situations like Madison Square Garden's use of face rec, where a someone might be denied entry unilaterally because of misidentification and have no recourse)
This article was a strange read for me. The author claims to "really" (no, really) like Blade Runner 2049, and then admits that he hasn't read the novel upon which the film's universe is based, didn't know that a key scene in the movie was quoting a novel until recently, and did not read the quoted novel either.

I wouldn't claim to like the movie as much as the author did, let alone write an article about, but I do like the movie a lot: I saw it three times in theaters (and it's long!). I read a bit of "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep" before getting bored, and have not read "Pale Fire", but I did recognize during my first watch that the lines of the baseline test were obviously a quotation, and the "Pale Fire" references were mentioned in just about every single movie review and discussion (because they were a bit ham-fisted).

I guess I just don't understand how you could enjoy a piece of art so much, (and write articles about it!) without first checking out the art that it's based off of, the art that it explicitly references, or even reading a small amount of online discussion about it.
The vast, vast majority of people you interact with will take a comment like that as an ad-hominem attack. At best, they'll forgive you for the logical fallacy. More often, they'll feel you have inappropriate conversation patterns and that further interaction with you is risky ... as in, you might be some type of dangerous-crazy, because a lot of "appropriate" vs. "inappropriate" social mores are tools (litmus tests) to determine how anti-social[0] someone is in general.

Generally, the "overly emotional" push-back from the other party after one violates social norms is a cue to accomplish two things:

1) Alert others nearby that this was in fact a violation of social norms, and prepare them to potentially side against the violator.

2) Check to see if the offending party is generally in control of their social behavior, and this was just a transient "slip-up", or if the offending party is stuck in their anti-social modes and unable to recover negative social interactions. This acts to provide a stronger signal both to the offended party as well as to others nearby.

SvelteKit encourages and provides tools for "progressive enhancement"[1]. This means your site will work even if JS is missing.

- There is a SvelteKit clone of Wordle that does not need JS[2] with (video introduction[3])

- I built this SvelteKit app to work without JS: https://multi-launch.leftium.com/

It takes a little effort to ensure your app will work without JS, but SvelteKit tries to make it as easy as possible:

- The first render of your page is done on the server[4]. This ensures the first render has access to JS even if the client doesn't. It's also supposed to decrease the time to first render.

- SvelteKit form actions are designed to work without JS, by default[5].

The industry is changing to actual code changes. If it is a flag someone might figure out where that flag is and how to change it, and with right to repair that becomes a legal thing. If it is more code they send, that code is protected by copyright and isn't a right to repair issue at all.
IceBank was offering 10% savings accounts in the UK just before the GFC. Be careful!
This depends on if they actually charge you for it upfront in the MSRP.

Say the cost for a motor made of x material is $2000 more than a lower spec motor made of z. So here they could make two specs, say charge $5000 more for the better motor, and profit $3,000 when anyone with a kick for adrenaline chooses the better motor.

However, there are hidden costs to inventorying multiple different variations of the main drive train of your car. You are no longer sharing parts, so you now need two lines making that motor, you need to split the warehousing space, you need some sort of analytics / data scientists to tell you how many of each motor you need to order. In this scenario, the cost to this amount of inventorying something as critical as the main drive unit might be a thousand dollars per unit or so (of course decreasing with scale), but it means your margins aren't simply profit - BOM.

Taking these small increments in profit (at the expense of making the logistics of your plant more complex) was all the rage for Ford and GM throughout the 1990s-now with 20 different trim levels for a model, but with EVs specifically the extra trim levels make you feel like you're missing out on the most fun or useful parts of a car, and the automaker really isn't making that much extra money when it's all said and done (and it results in the car feeling cheap after the honeymoon period).

In this case, the $60/month is optional. This means that Mercedes can take the negligible hit on their bill of materials, but this will likely be offset by, and made profitable by, the people who do pay for it every month over the lifespan of the car - there is a lot of FOMO and getting to click a button that says "increase the dopamine I get by punching the throttle this month" might be what people want if they think they shouldn't splurged for a different ev x months ago.
So when you see anti AI legislation, now we know it’s for the sake of turning a buck for fucking Google
> Now your flight is $200 more than the quoted fare.

> Everyone seems to love this, or at least, they didn't stop flying.

Nobody "loves" it. They just have to put up with it because even for people who know what they're doing with flight searches, the only way to dig into all that dark pattern shit is to have fifty browser tabs open comparing the fine details of different flights.

If it was possible to, say, compare all those up-charges up front using flight search tools, I'm sure you'd see a lot more people choosing the slightly more expensive tickets.
Good, I hate those four random digits on the end of the globally unique username I've been using for something like the past twenty years. Every time someone wants to connect to me on Discord I have to fire the damn thing up and see what those stupid numbers are.

It's a decent solution to the problem of people who want to be FirstnameL or FirstnameLCity on the Internet, but if you've taken the time to choose a sufficiently unique handle, it's just annoying.
The problem with a lot of open source is the long term issue.

The people doing many of these projects often want the short term kudos, upvotes, or research articles. They may iterate fast, and do all kinds of neat advancements, except in a month they'll move to the next "cool" project.

Unfortunately, with a lot of open source projects, they don't want to deal with the legalese, the customer specific integration, your annoying legacy system, the customer support and maintenance, or your weird plethora of high-risk data types (medical industry I'm looking at you)

Not sure what the Wikipedia reference is, since how many people use any form of encyclopedia other than crowdsourced Wikipedia?

However, to note, there are some examples of successful long term open source. Blender for example being a relatively strong competitor for 3D modeling (although Maya still tends to be industry dominant).

> What the critics leave out is that the WEF was saying that people would be happier not owning anything.

Literally every time I have seen the quote brought up in dissenters' milieus, it included the "and you will be happy" part.

Unsurprisingly, because the implicit paternalism makes it almost as repellent as the first part.
Open source works well when the work is inherently cool and challenging enough to keep people engaged. Linux and Blender are two of the most successful open source projects, and the thing they have in common is that problems they solve are problems engineers enjoy working on.

Mapping intersections is extremely boring in comparison. The sheer quantity of boring work needed to bring open street maps up to the quality of google maps in insurmountable.

LLMs are freaking cool, and that bodes well for their viability as open source projects.
I agree but they're Groups, Messenger and Marketplace offerings are best in the industry. It's what myself and most of my friends use it for now.
Apple spearheads user-hostile decisions and everyone willingly accepts it (even cheers for it) because hey, it's Apple. Google, Samsung etc. copy them down the line, and by then it is too late to complain and reverse the trend.

Tesla spearheaded (1) removing Carplay/Android Auto and charging monthly for maps/traffic/connectivity, (2) hiding features behind paid software upgrades, (3) hiding performance improvements behind monthly subscriptions, (4) providing charging for a monthly fee. Everyone cheered them on as revolutionary, and it is too late to complain now. Of course other manufacturers are going to copy them.
