Thank you for your effort. There also appears to be a BM6 variant which explicitly states that you get a personal account and will be able to track your car.

You can click the images where the third one contains a comparison. Interesting that they pretend that BM6 has this as a special feature since it just is a feature of the app.

The QR code [0] on the device points to this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dc.bm6

So I checked other URLs like https://link.quicklynks.com/bm3.html and https://link.quicklynks.com/bm4.html, and the latter redirects to https://www.leagend.com/ which operates this YT channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqkvyOFP5cXQ02f3h1Ns42Q

Rubber bands are actually kind of complicated materials, they have more than one elastic regime before you have any plastic deformation. Maybe that’s what they are referring to.

It’s not a perfect analogy, but applied strain changes a property in each case (elastic modulus for the rubber, conductivity for TFA)

Rewarding new entrants with high profit margins is a good way to get enough people to pool capital together to make it happen.
I see your point, but sometimes it's good for HN readers to work a little (just a little!), and I feel like this is one of those cases. Not everything should be explicitly spelled out - especially when the title isn't obviously baity and the article is substantive.

Ah, yes; the good old "everything is impure, which means that everything is equally bad, so it doesn't matter if I do/support bad things, because I have no choice!"

Yeah, no. That doesn't fly.

There's a massive difference between, say, "the fact that I am a person of European descent living in upstate NY is only possible because of the genocide of and racism against generations of Native Americans; therefore, my entire existence is predicated on structural racism" and "many, many groups have vilified Jewish people for centuries for a variety of reasons (that are out of scope of this discussion); that vilification has led to ostracism and genocide on numerous occasions and still does to this day, frequently based entirely on completely false stereotypes; the propagation of those stereotypes still to this day leads real people to choose to ostracize and murder Jewish people; "lizard people who rule the world" is one of those stereotypes, and participating in its propagation does actual, measurable harm to Jewish people."
Canadian techie here :) I moved to the US for work super early in my career, and recently moved back to Canada after nearly a decade (mostly just for a change in scenery). I work in games, so I never made the super high FAANG wages I see talked about everywhere on here, but it's true even in games that you'll make significantly more in the US than in Canada. I make more than I need for the lifestyle that makes me happy though, so the pay disparity is honestly a non issue for me.

US immigration laws are a complete non issue for tech workers (at least in my experience, you still have to fill out a boat load of paperwork, but if a US company wants you, things move pretty quick). Mostly, people I work with seem to not want to move the the US for the same reasons people don't want to move to another state: they're happy enough where they are, they'd be leaving friends/family, they're worried if the move that their life will be worse, they already make enough money to be comfortable (if not inordinately wealthy). If they're parents, they usually are also wary about uprooting their kids' lives.
Does StubHub resell it's sellers tickets using fake personas and fake domains?
Ah, my foldable screen news is out of date

Perhaps while I was writing this long winded rant, I could’ve used my extra screen to read all about it.
Exactly the reverse.
“Some of these companies will go out of business.”

Many of those companies will be producing superior products, niche products vital for a small market or are simply more focused on delivering value rather than leeching profit.

The surviving companies in a rough market turn never seem to be the ‘best’ companies.
He is basically saying they are elites and that for some reason human society needs some people to be better than others. It's literally elitist in the worst sense.
I do not, I just thought I read it somewhere years ago that it was an EU regulation... as you're saying it's allowed in parts of the EU I guess it can't be!
I never said or implied they have poor development practices.

But the constraints, requirements, and priorities for a given project at NASA won't even be the same as every other project there, let alone projects at pretty companies in different fields.

By extension, I would argue that the concept of universally superior development best practices as a whole doesn't make sense.
The gas stations I went to in the Middle East (I'm not from there) all offered full-service. These were very busy locations, and the attendants generally got things moving faster than I could have. The hard part wasn't pumping the gas, but directing traffic efficiently.
There are some gas stations where I live that could use this kind of help, our drivers do not coordinate very well.
I'd go a step further: the author's head canon is no more valid than yours or mine. In the article's case, J.K. Rowling's ideas about the characters that didn't make it into the books or movies are also just "fanon".

I've seen it play out repeatedly where some of the audience thinks one thing. The author says another. Other audience members use that to tell the first group that they're officially wrong. I reject that entire line of thinking.
The problem is that Postgres is a long lived server so the app can fire a commit to the DB and then exit. Here, the app needs to perform the sync, so you can't exit. I didn't see a way to confirm the sync was complete either, so when can you safely exit?
Some alarm vendors will offer "video verification" which typically satisfies that requirement in most markets that require it. Many Alarm.com-based vendors (like Surety Home) can enable it on your system.
Yeah, but Hockridge and Bell did an amazing job with Asterix. It's still hilarious in English.
Show me how many new auto companies and farmers entered the market then to solve the supply and costing issues that we continue to have.

The theory sounds great in an Econ 101 classroom, but is problematic in practice.

Nice find. It appears the application is by the same developer [1]:

The play store page for this app states:

- No data shared with third parties

- This app may collect these data types

- Data isn’t encrypted

- You can request that data be deleted

I just checked the BM2 app (subject of the blog post series) and they have updated with the similar detail [2], updated on the 25th of June 2023, although they say the data is encrypted - will need to verify if this is the case with the latest release. It also still says data not sent to any third party. If they still use the Alibaba AMap SDK - then that's a third party.

The Apple app store also now discloses location data is being sent [3]

I'd like to think my research / blog posts put pressure on them to start being honest with their customers.

This doesn't excuse them though. A battery monitor does not need to know your location.

This is not replicating when I try it on various simulators.

It's also 12 characters shorter.

Let me guess: you ran this through an LLM, and have posted the resulting hallucination as an undisclaimed fact.
Although states have laws no longer requiring it, some states still allow towns to overrule this by towns passing laws banning self-service before state self-service laws were created.

Weymouth, Massachusetts (under 10 miles from Boston city limits) is one such town where you have to let the attendant operate the pump: https://www.bostonglobe.com/metro/regionals/south/2013/11/14...

Also in Massachusetts is Milford, Upton and I believe Arlington. Huntington, NY is the other holdout I'm aware of.

What was funny about Oregon is self-service wasn't allowed based on county size (counties > 40,000 people). However, three counties allowed motorists to still pump their own gas at night (7PM and later I believe), just not during daytime.
I was always under the impression New Jersey had this law because of some sort of mafia influence. But I probably watched too much of The Sopranos, though.
If a company can win a market, that begs the question why. Are there regulatory barriers preventing competition? Can competitors not compete on price?

The answer is the former then we should remove governmental barriers to competition. If competitors can't theoretically undercut the price, then it's hard to see how more competition would favor the buyers. Surely they're not better off with 10 competitors at Double the price.

Last, there is the issue of time. Competition doesn't happen overnight
> We should, as a civilization, operate under the assumption that transformative AI will arrive 10-40 years from now, with a wide range for error in either direction.

So, this is not actually saying much. Anything that far out may well also just end up not happening, and it’s too vague an assumption to usefully operate on.
That's a better plot than the latest Indiana Jones flick.
> Anglosphere

In my opinion, this is an underutilized term that could be used to group trends/behaviors and consequently policy decisions.
They believed the scurvy protection came from the sourness of lemons, so they switched to lime which is even more sour than lemon, but contains less vitamin C.
that's the correct answer. I love the previous idea posted above, but it was really just that the model was good at food initially and Pablo is from spain, so we decided to name it after same spanish dish. We are holding up this tradition and follow-up models were called Arroz-Con-Cosas, Risotto and Würstchen.
> competitor can't afford to keep buying you out forever

Not saying this is in fact the case, but with trillions of dollars of QE and the Cantillon effect it seems entirely possible that in some industries they could.
I admit I used the word "citizenship" in an inaccurate manner. Please allow me to clarify and correct myself.

In terms of technical, legal citizenship, that (presumably) became available to Jews in Germany upon their emancipation in 1871. This opportunity was revoked a mere 64 years later in 1935 with the introduction of the Nuremberg Laws. Citizenship in this sense is a modern invention.

What I meant above was citizenship in the sense of belonging to a particular group. A person could be a German in a legal or social sense, and I meant it in a social sense. The Jews were never seen as being "authentically" German. They were seen as a foreign people living on German land. This certainly contributed to the ease at which their legal status was stripped.

Thus, not a single Jew who was a German (in either sense) was murdered in the Holocaust, since that is an empty category.

By the way, this attitude wasn't particular to Germany, but all over Europe, from Russia to France.
I absolutely loath having to type in my resume on every site form for companies I'm applying to. During a job search, I think I would pay to have a feature that auto-fills these for me.
Also, I'd love to be able to fill in translations for my resume. I maintain a basic resume in three languages.
Let me offer a counterpoint: I live in LA because it is home to the largest immigrant population in the US from the country where my parents were born. When I go to the grocery store, restaurants, concerts, festivals, etc. I am experiencing that cultural connection.

There’s numerous spaces I’ve been in where English is rarely spoken and it gives me the opportunity to maintain my language skills.

Do you think I could have that in generic suburbia?
You seem to have ignored the /s in your parent's comment.

Stop saying that life expectancy thing. Old people _lived_. Modern people suffer a lifetime physically, mentally, and spiritually.
I am not installing Linux and Wine just to run a Windows program. 64-bit CPUs have been available for PCs for at least 20 years. while this is a neat idea, omitting 64-bit support makes this nothing more than a fun experiment.
14,000 in the right places could easily topple a government in a tight election because of FPTP - although one can obviously not choose in reality.

In 2017 for example the minimum number of votes across the country needed to take down Theresa May (or more realistically have her form a true minority government) was something like 2500.

We have an extremely disproportional electoral system.
I would propose that the megafauna of Africa is less naive regarding hominid predators.

Elephants will go out of their way to kill lion cubs and, according to Tanzanian anecdote, human children.
The law and process is a zoning bylaw. If a development conforms to the zoning bylaw, there should be no need for public engagement.

In no other scenario do we have a process of public meetings to decide whether or not to follow the law.
They don't wash the windshields or check the washer fluid in any part of Oregon I've been at so far. Granted I'm a recent move in, but this never happens, at least not at the Fred Meyer or Costco gas stations I go to.

More often than not, its just a bunch of people standing around using their phones as they wait for fill ups to end and they meander between the cars. Its really poor service, honestly.
Cosmic particles can change elections and cause planes to fall (2017)
> Being punished for saving is just insane.

The economy is a prisoner's dilemma. If everyone saved, we'd all be worse off.

As such, it makes sense to punish defectors.
Now you're onto something!

And thankfully, you can still find washing machines and microwaves which don't spy on you.

Keep your old stuff people cos, soon I'm sure _everything_ will spy on you and track you!
Yea you can. It's the same as with any other CNN based model that is not forced to have a specific shape (like transformers if they use specific positional embeddings). You can also look at the blog post where different resolution images are generated https://laion.ai/blog/paella/
Admit it, you just googled for “fanon” (as did I).
Here's the fun thing- it doesn't! If I remember correctly, the only place you can see that something's going on is if you check foreground data usage for Google Play Services
I’ll subscribe to a newsletter if I have even the mildest interest in its content.

While I'm happy that apple and others have added these access grants (for location, disk access, etc) to their systems, I'm less happy that the way to do whatever the fuck you want is to ask the user to give you whatever grant under some thin pretext and then exploiting the fuck out of your generosity. 'We need you to grant us access to location services so we can adjust for your timezone... PSYCH! We're actually tracking your every goddamned move and selling all that data to all comers including law enforcement in your area!'

If you say no to these grants often the app will go into whiner mode, where it constantly asks and fails to perform even the most basic function.
> Finding time to get your 8 miles of walking a day in would be hard enough.

I frequently do 6 mile walks with my dog, 8 miles would only be about 3 hours. Considering how much time people spend planted in front of a TV each day on average that shouldn't be that hard to hit. Tell you what, have the corpos give me an extra 1.5hrs each day and I'll give up 1.5hrs of TV and then we'll have enough for that 8 miles.

We really need to take back our time from the exploitation class. A lot of problems go away if you work fewer hours a week, but there exist very few jobs that will pay anywhere near a livable wage for that. Like, I could easily survive on half my income if only someone would give me back half my time for it, but that just isn't an option.
I've never used it, but they can ban your app token, right? So I assume you need to make sure you're keeping your own up-to-date copy of all claims you have access to.

> there's nothing stopping me from automatically migrating every Google user to a local account pre-populated with their Google claims

I wonder your user retention would look like in that situation.
Are you saying you replaced Docker with Nix? I am still trying to understand the use case for Nix. Can someone explain? Is it a complete replacement for Docker?
Some executives going on WhatsApp to collude is going to be possible to this day, as long as the highest ranked member(s) ok it and there's no paper trail. It's not much different from after-work drinks, but they left records and got caught. shrug That's a different kind of corruption than what I was addressing, which does not involve technical operation.

Not to brag, but I skirted company policies at JPMC. I had been tasked with writing a solution for a specific process that integrated a freeform type of data. I didn't use customer data or even sensitive company information, but did cobble something together that worked as a prototype over 6 months, in addition to my application workload. Due to some unannounced hardware refresh, my laptop was to be wiped. I decided to mail a zipfile of the custom javascript code (all open source or hand-written), to myself. There was a proper application (OneDrive) to normally store this kind of data, but it wasn't on my machine...which was probably part of the reason some laptops were being nuked. So, against, company policy I "mishandled source code" and got a 2-week-long wrist-slap over it. Was this "letting employees use email to evade company policies", or is it simply something that happens because there's no practical way to prevent me from doing it and still maintain standard business operation? It's important to read between the lines sometimes.

Anything that requires participation of lower level employees, is different because they have to have explicit instructions and action plans to do anything...according to multiple policies and processes. If someone walked in and said "this is the SQL to use to delete this data for this JIRA ticket", it would be written down in a Confluence, JIRA, email, git, for starters. You would also have to have to account for the rollback as well, or it doesn't play.
Well, Lemmy generally doesn't use much custom CSS outside of the standard Bootstrap 5 stuff, so writing one isn't too crazy.

suckless is some hacker news nerd bait, it explains the seductive aesthetic of computer environments where every cruft is removed and your computer has exactly the things that are useful to you in it. also some of the main people in it are like literally self proclaimed nazis and fascists which i mean is also kind of on-brand for hacker news nerd bait but also it's not great.

Check out earthships:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earthship

I have seen one, and met and talked briefly with the guy who built it.

He is Alex Leeor, a British guy living in the mountains in Tamil Nadu, South India.

He built one there with local help.

It is perched almost on the edge of a cliff that drops steeply 7000 feet (about 2000 meters) down to the plains.

There are multiple articles about him, which you can google.

Edit:

It was round, but not spherical in shape. Round in the horizontal dimension.
With a lot of glass windows.

He said the overall design made it warm in winter and cool in summer, although summers are hardly hot there.

Must be human nature. When I used an enigma machine at a museum, the first thing I did was try to make it light up with a 4 letter word. It does help that 4 letters of ciphertext is easier to remember :)
The intentions weren't bad and the 'outcomes we are now observing' aren't bad either. Those changes were a net positive on society. There is still more work that needs to be done so that both boys AND girls have the same opportunities in school and have the freedom to pursue it without judgement. If some boys/men feel that a level playing field is setting them up to fail then I have zero sympathy, society doesn't need more second class citizens.

And the notion that boys are being set up to fail, especially by the school system is just ridiculous. In this day and age, students can post their questions and answers online. Any bias in grading can be quickly found out and if the issue is as broad and systemic as you are claiming then this will be incredibly trivial to prove. There would be millions of students complaining.
From 1986 - wow!
"you need a new one." <-- New microwave, I presume?
Or they just lie to you 'we need your location data to do <sensible thing you want>' (like say localized weather or nearby starbucks or whatever) however they then turn around and basically track you constantly and sell your data to all comers.
>> you've already had to surrender a great amount of personal information just to get the airline ticket.

In past couple years in EU and USA, I paid for tickets via debit card with address of a PO Box. And my first name is a nickname different than my DL which is also misspelled. What great amount of info did I surrender?

In USA I have found it simple and quick to misplace my wallet and clear TSA - just be pleasant.

And I have never gone through the full body scans. I pleasantly opt out and typically sail through the metal detector. And in past couple years TSAers hand my wind-up film camera around all the screening. TSA is an expensive show.
There is a pretty good chance this quote is inappropriately attributed to Milton Friedman though if he did say anything like this, it was likely about a Canal rather than building roads[0]

What apps have done this to you? I've been pretty happy with Apple's ability to:

* Restrict permissions
* Prompt me with the ability to allow an app a permission forever, or just one time
* Have the OS prompt me later on about how often an app has been using my location, and ask if I want to modify my approval

I don't think I've run into many apps that have refused to work without something like locations services. If an app does do that, I simply uninstall it.
I don't know why this was hidden. I find it interesting.
But it was known, the second time.
