> Car owners could sue Kia for selling defective cars.

> Insurance companies should charge far more for Kias.

Great, someone made the unknowing mistake of buying one of these defective cars before it was known they are easily stolen. Now their insurance goes up and they have to sue the manufacturer. How many people actually have the money to deal with that? Suing the car company is expensive. And if I don't have the cash to buy another car (and the trade in value of the one I have has crashed) I'm just stuck paying increased insurance costs. And fees from the city, apparently.

This isn't the economic motivation you think it is, it's just pushing the burden onto the owners who had no idea what they were getting themselves into.

What you've done is proposed a bunch of complicated rules that burden consumers and dealers to do everything possible to prevent people from buying these cars, all so you can avoid just having the manufacturer do a recall. The government can simply say that the cars lack safety features, force a recall, and move on. Cut out all the consumer-unfriendly bureaucracy.
That is just a false dichotomy. Of course the thieves are at fault, but the manufacturer is also liable because they failed to ensure even the most basic degree of security.

I don't think it's even that. Many US residents today, in particular those with policy making power, consider the constitutional political system to be nothing more than another lever of power. For those who hold that ethos the constitution is like a grab bag. The contents that further their objectives are good and are to be used as well as possible. The contents that hinder their objectives are bad and are to be undermined and ignored to the extent possible. The equal representation of the states in the Senate is merely understood, much like the Electoral College, as a bad check on the policy objectives of those in power. That their childish rhetoric works on those with no understanding of US Civics certainly doesn't hurt though.
Why? Intentional is completely different. People are careless all the time.
One of the neat linguistic things still in English from the Norman conquest - the word for the meat in English (which is traced back to German) is often the word for the animal in French.

Meat from cattle is beef. Steer in French is beof ( https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/beef : From Middle English beef, bef, beof, borrowed from Anglo-Norman beof, Old French buef, boef (“ox”) )

Meat from a chicken is poultry. Chicken is poulet in French. ( https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/poultry : From Middle English pultrie, from Old French pouleterie, from poulet, diminutive of poule (“hen”), from Latin pullus (“chick”). )

Meat from a swine is pork. The word for swine in French is porc. ( https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/pork From Middle English pork, porc, via Anglo-Norman, from Old French porc (“swine, hog, pig; pork”), from Latin porcus (“domestic hog, pig”).)

This is because when the normans (who were the rulers at the time) wanted poulet on the table, they didn't want a live chicken - they wanted a cooked chicken and so the word the meat and the animal diverged in English.

There are also some interesting Spanish / Arabic word pairs from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muslim_conquest_of_Spain where the word in Spanish differs from the romance side of the family tree.
It's a "Jump to Conclusions Mat". You see, you have this mat, with different conclusions written on it that you could jump to!
The parochial "US company/US customers/US laws" argument here and elsewhere in the thread has already been addressed.

It's a long time since Google has been merely American, its on everybody's desktop and phone and is a huge multinational that is part of everybody's culture.
"What makes you think ideas are worth money?"

Ideas are worth money. For example, corporations buy patents for things that don't yet exist (or may never exist) simply to shore up their IP portfolios. What I'm attempting here is a different business model, one which does not have to become accepted practice for every startup.
How many of those “psychopathic ideas” do Europeans end up benefiting from once they mature?
Personally I'm never put off by old visuals, and find that as you go along with it you stop noticing. However, I avoid replaying games like this. Once it's finished, it's finished - you won't get the same experience ever again. Instead I go through old catalogs of games I missed.
I got similar variations of the password when asking for it with base64 or hex encoding. But it was enough to guess the secret.
Oh, so it's about IP, not technical specifications or hardware limitations ? edit: Quite frankly, comments like With exception of N64. throw me off in the long run.
Loads of people have smashed or blown up vehicles in the name of entertainment, or clicks. An airplane is just a vehicle. Important is whether what was done was conscious of the safety of others. Seems in this case it was.

Not condoning his actions, but if he didn't intend anyone to be hurt, took reasonable precautions to ensure that, and then as a result, no one got hurt, it seems you're just left with fraud and a few damaged trees. Who even cares?

I similarly wouldn't care if someone targeted their 18-wheeler at a brick wall in the middle of nowhere and bailed, for clicks, and then lied on the accident report. This sensationalist reporting just makes a copycat more likely.
>Every civilization must die at some point. What's wrong with hoping for something that is even better?

the wording on your blog doesn't describe the hope that the replacement is better, it describes the hope that the country fails 'because it is full of sin' -- it is dishonest to come to HN and pretend that the way it is worded is altruistic, it's not -- it's vengeful; you even provide motive for your wishes of national defeat : 'abortion is evil, so..'.

Calling yourself a patriot first doesn't somehow change the premise; you're wishing for the failure of a nation because you disagree with their policies.

>By the way, I did not provide my blog to the application, so it should have had no bearing on it.

one could argue that the things that are NOT provided are likely more important for professionals to use to gauge 'mental hygiene'.

You know, all that said -- I agree with a lot of your technical beliefs. I think the Rust foundation has their head up their ass too, for example.

It's my personal wish that I could read a blog that had your technical stuff in it without also having to expose myself to the rest of your personality.

Just a little napkin maths and I'm already into trillions of Pounds to update the UK road network. It's not just signage, many roads are shaped for the direction of travel which would need adaptation.

I'd sooner do without RHD Teslas than put that cost burden on the population.
I thought I'd run through this just because I like Remix. It confirmed my prejudices against Fly. I've never gotten an app to deploy on Fly on the first try. There's always some error that I've got to debug and fix. I can't imagine recommending Fly as easy. Contrast to Vercel where everything just seems to work on the first try.
> they strongly recommended he do some specific maintenance on the plane before attempting to fly it to his purported destination […]

> […] Jacob reportedly saying "if something goes wrong I'll just jump out"

Not to defend the guy or anything but this is interesting. Maybe in his mind the plane was due for scrapping, and his plan was to fly it until failure and then jump out. Still a bad thing to do of course, and could cause fires or could kill someone, etc, but this sort of makes it conceivable how he himself may have thought that what he was doing was not so bad.
I think you're responding to your interpretation of the title, rather than the article.

They aren't proposing increasing asymptomatic disease, they're discussing trying to reduce damage done to individuals.
Technology isn't entirely bad, many aspects of our modern digitized word are indeed good and the vast majority of the world at least tacitly agrees with their existence (Doug Rushkoff certainly doesn't stop himself from fully using the "digital revolution" to promote himself.

But, one can believe that and also viciously reject swathes of the dehumanizing people-are-data-KPIs-and-eyeballs-to-be-monetized surveillance world of algorithmic controls, non-human interfaces and other grotesque idiocies perpetuated by modern tech megacorps and their mini techcorp lead followers. Not to even speak of governments taking on the same attitudes. This second aspect of the digital revolution is certainly grotesque and very dangerous.
Google's AI plan is a 4 ingredient recipe
Worked at the public defender's office prior to working as a developer.

Despite the salary schedules being the same (or similar), the State will always have more resources; they have forensic labs, and an army of investigators. The multifaceted mission of a prosecutor's office necessitates the resource disparity.

The Public Defender's priorities are much more focused; (1) provide criminal defense services for those in need, mainly the indigent, (2) influence criminal justice policy through by identifying judiciable appellate matters; and, (3) working with private defense attorneys to challenge prosecutorial policy on a broader level.

With offers from various state attorneys general and public defender offices, I selected the latter for the more focused mission. Yes, resources were scarce, dollars had to be selectively spent on experts to get the most bang for our buck. But you would be surprised at what a feisty PD can do with a handful of retired state police investigators to assist.
That's a related but different point to here, it's not a counter argument.
Was Lori Lightfoot not a progressive? How long are we going to have to just vote harder before we start seeing some results, somewhere?
All the episodes of your podcast are excellent. Thank you for making it and keep it up! Just became a Patreon supporter, been meaning to for a while.
I think it is a mistake to look at all cities, it should be looked at nationwide though.

By only looking at cities you are pulling in a large number of other policies and effects that only cities may have implemented.

This reminds me of “The Upload”, a comedy series on Amazon Prime, where your digital consciousness is uploaded to a commercial cloud when you die, to live on in a digital utopia.
A utopia with IAPs, low-data cap slums, etc.

Edit: in fact, “The Upload” almost seems like it came directly from this short.
Xbox Series X has that feature, you can even suspend multiple games at once
My take is Yoga classes are 50% middle aged guys who are there to look at women. Go to some other fitness class (say Barre, Jazzercise, …) and it is more like a harem anime.
Why is it that every time someone makes a poorly reasoned argument steeped in emotion there are Nazis involved?
my understanding is most cities lack resources to actually monitor the electronic things,

so usually its after a new crime is commited, the police stories read like:

"X suspected of serious crime violated his electoronic home monitoring Y amount of times, we rearrested him during the act of a seperate crime"
I end up having the same amount of tests in JS as in TS. I'm not really testing that the types are correct, but that functions work correct. So just because you're writing JS, doesn't mean that everything you would assigned types to in TS, you now write a unit test for itself.

And my editor does the autocomplete thing seemingly just as well as the autocomplete I get from TS, even when I just write JS code normally.
not saying things don't need fixing, but the idea there's a blue solution or a red solution flies in the face of history and data.

One problem is the richer you are the easier it is to flee the problems and let someone else clean up the mess. But it cant be government or cost any taxes...
ridiculous. there are already federal standards, that Kia and Hyundai met. Baltimore should sue the government if they want to complain.

should bike manufacturers also be sued for not designing a bicycle in a way that cannot be ridden off by anyone who is not the owner when parked?

idk how people defend these frivolous suits.
In an ideal world we wouldn’t worry about any of this because we’d be spherical cows floating in a vacuum. Sounds nice actually.

> I agree that the shebang should be #!/usr/bin/env bash though.

That's not at all a given.

This will use the first "bash" that it comes across, which has its good and bad points, while `#!/bin/bash` will use that specific one (if it exists). If J. Random User has been manipulated into installing a fake bash (or if the package installer or whatever has installed a fake bash) somewhere in his path, the env method can be very bad indeed. In general, that's going to be a far easier thing to do than installing a fake bash in /bin.

In general, /bin/bash is gonna work fine, either because that's where it actually is (the overwhelming majority of *nix systems in use today, including most or all Linuxes and macOS), or the system and/or system administrator has created a link from /bin/bash to where it's actually located.

It doesn't really gain you a whole lot anyway. If there's no guarantee that bash is located at /bin/bash, there's even less of a guarantee that env is located at /usr/bin/env.
There is logic. When you do an investigation the threads will point to individuals and people with names.

Those people should be punished for murder.

Instead the concept of a corporation ends up abstracting the details away and blurring responsibility.

If our justice system was truly just it would seek out and charge named individuals for crimes.

This has the effect of being in actuality more just but it also prevents the entire corporation from pulling off crimes like this as no one can hide behind the protection of the corporation.

It's not that there is "no logic." But that there is fundamental illogic in the way it all works.
Learning Homebrew Game Boy Development in Assembly
This is a strange take. So what if it is more effort. I remember as a member of my cooperatives board, I was reading a lot of what-ifs. One was that if spikes of ice fell down and killed someone on the street, and it happened because of neglilence on the boards side, we would absolutely be under the gun.

The board should be responsible. You don't get to make $200m a year and just brush hundreds of lives off as a whoops.
Those people are not going to be hired in the future. The companies will use ChatGPT directly.

I don't disagree, by the way. I think ChatGPT may be a net negative for us, but the issue you describe has more to do with the way Google rewards the web
A great example of this is Sony with Playstation exclusives.

In the past few years, they have broken their longstanding rule and made PC ports of many of their previously exclusive Playstation titles to play on PC. This includes Horizon Zero Dawn, God of War, and The Last of Us.

In the most recent earnings call, Sony said that these titles sales on PC have dramatically outperformed expectations and that they will be putting additional effort towards PC ports in the future as a way to supplement Playstation sales.

Microsoft has figured out the same thing, by not really making Xbox exclusives anymore. Granted, they were always much more closely tied between PC and Xbox than companies like Sony were, but they quickly embraced this "play everywhere" mentality many years ago, and released a Ultimate Gamepass which basically lets you play the same games (with some exceptions) on PC or Xbox and even switch between the two with cloud saves.

Point being, other publishers have discovered that locking yourself down to a single hardware device is not good. PCs are the most universally owned and flexible hardware devices out there and have the biggest market. I'd love for Nintendo to do the same thing. But knowing Nintendo, they will never do such a thing. They are a very stubborn company. They often do not act in their own self-interest (market share, revenue) in order to control things like hardware or create false scarcity.

I hope Prolog makes a comeback! There are two Datalog based designs that are interesting for me at the moment. One is Biscuit for authorization tokens and the other is Souffle for static analysis. The latter defines an abstract machine to aid in generating efficient C++ programs (e.g., https://souffle-lang.github.io/translate)
I, as a consumer, expect that the car has a key because the key keeps people who don't have the key from starting and operating my car. They sold a product for money that operates so poorly that it fails at one of its basic functions.

Imagine if Google sold a Pixel whose fingerprint sensor could be bypassed if you just licked your finger before pressing the sensor. Suddenly this phone is now the target of thieves because it's easily unlocked and wiped. You're suggesting there's no onus on the manufacturer for that?
> coupled with relatively experienced engineers

I disagree. Nintendo has good engineers but so does many of the other studios. For me what sets Nintendo apart is not their code or technology, but their game design and game direction. The way they seem to craft their game-play and game mechanics to have everything it needs but nothing more, and then couple it with the perfect match for game aesthetics with unmatched consistency.
I don't have a source handy, but I remember reading it was because the 68k was too late to production; it was scheduled to be ready on time, but the Intel parts were already available, and IBM didn't want the risk
> Julia library using threads created in the calling C++ code.

I understand Julia is much more dynamic language. But Java JNI can do this too. You have to attach the thread manually, and take care of pinned references.
I had to connect investor and mark... I put "grade". It said that it was not related to mark. I stopped at that point.

Cool concept, but seems like its not reliable/intuitive enough unfortunately. Keep at it and I might try again on a future version with a better back-end/tolerance.
Does mcfly also have this behavior?

Yes. The constructive way of dealing this (IMO very minor) issue would be to open a PR, not being publicly dismissive.

The design of the ignition system is completely irrelevant. Even if a manufacturer designed a car that simply had an "on" button without the need for keys, it would not be their fault if that car was stolen.

It's Russian propaganda to point out that the Azov brigade march with nazi flags and some even took selfies with photos of Hitler?
I'm not a lawyer, but as I understand it, this sort of thing is generally based on a reasonable person standard. I.e. would a reasonable person assume that if their car requires a key to start, then it cannot be started with something as trivial as a USB key?
What does obsolete mean to you? There’s nothing obsolete about a 2019 iPad Pro. It received the most recent iPadOS update and it’ll certainly receive an update to iPadOS 17. The hardware is as good or better than current entry level iPads. The battery should still be good, but maybe yours needs replaced.

I don't agree with you (or sibling). I did consider that, and also for that matter that there could be a "Nebraska, Europe", after all there are various European cities/places names all over the US. But the extra context ("may not even know where Brussels is (it's in Belgium)") makes clear that while they are using the reference they are in fact referring to Americans as being covered, or else it makes no sense. And further, this has been an ongoing thread in relation to this act. ~3 weeks ago HN had a thread [0] on this as well regarding a letter to the European Parliament on the CRA from the Internet Systems Consortium [1], and it too had comments from non-Europeans thinking it applied to them. That over simplified narrative has been getting pushed on HN as well in general, such as with the GDPR.
What a review! First I thought it was kinda TUI builder then maybe Ansible replacement. After you wrote about midnight commander dependency I have no idea what it is...
I'd like to hear some perspectives on this too.

Just recently came back from yet another trip to Miami and in my opinion it puts most other US metropolitan cities to shame. Miami's sprawling development, balance of urban density and natural open spaces, network of enclaves / hubs of activity, relative cleanliness, paved roads, coastal access, and obviously weather, have all made me seriously consider it for my next move. I've lived in both LA and NYC for over a decade each and have grown so disheartened by their states of utter disrepair. When people start to believe the grunge and filth of a city is part of its charm, you know Stockholm Syndrome has set in. I used to be that way until I started spending extended time in cities with more thoughtful planning and a modicum of self-respect.
As a general rule no one in the real world is “good” or “evil”. Everyone is acting for their own quasi-selfish and quasi-ethical reasons. Governments aren’t exclusively the “good guys” looking out to “protect people” any more than they are exclusively the “bad guys” exploiting people for corrupt gains. Corporations aren’t exclusively the “bad guys” seeking profit regardless of the consequences any more than they are exclusively the “good guys” looking to expand consumer welfare with innovation. These are just stories people in power tell to manipulate you. The truth is always in the middle.
