A Long-EZ carries 2 people and goes 1600 miles on 52 gallons of gas. So 31 MPG. That's at a cruise of 144 MPH.

So more like 3 times better performance is available with a modern design... Kind of makes you wonder...

I think so. Nobody I know has an Xbox, even though we all had Xbox 360s back in the day. But they all have PS5s because Sony has great exclusive games. I don't see why Microsoft shouldn't be able to buy Activision, exclusives would be very helpful for them becoming competitive. But I don't play many (any?) Activision games so it wouldn't really move the needle much for me.

It is interesting the US is trying to block the last place player in the market from growing, which is also the only US company in the market.

Well everyone standing in the rain can agree that it's raining. The article's talking about societal impacts that affect 90+% of the population negatively in roughly the same manner, albeit at different magnitudes.
and speeding tickets! In parts of Scandinavia, the speeding tickets fine is based on your income, not a flat fee, so if you're a bank manager you pay more for the parking ticket vs if you're a poor student. The record is €121,000 for being caught going 20 over the limit by a multimillionaire.
Is this accurate? All of the examples I found online about hoop stress had diagrams where the pressure inside the cylinder was higher (as in a water pipe for example).

Tensile strength would make sense in that scenario, but I don't see how it would apply when the cylinder is empty and being crushed by outside forces.
Btw if somebody is asking why they just won't bring their own OBD scanner and plug it into the socket to see what mileage each ECU reports, there is an explanation in comments:

> Tom Layton here, the original Plaintiff. What you all must know is that the auto auctions prohibit buyers from bringing scan tools on to auction property. Therefore, you must believe what the auctions claim. Furthermore, of the 500 or so FedEx vans I personally purchased 99% of them were purchased on-line facilitated all over the country. I did not personally get to see or inspect them. I had to believe what the auto auctions stated on their condition reports.
You could legally mandate companies to insure themselves against cybersecurity risks.

It's really an interesting idea:

https://www.cato.org/sites/cato.org/files/serials/files/regu...

This creates a "market for effective practices", because companies that follow good security practices would get cheaper insurance.

But it would allow insurances and companies to figure out dynamically what is cost effective and what isn't.

There would be lots of financial incentive to figure out what protects you effectively and what is just security theatre.

Russians aren't in a position to participate in anything approximating politics. There is no state in Russia, it collapsed long ago already. It is a mafia turf war.

All that matters is making money. Putin, Prigozhin, the Kremlin, do not care about Russians or Ukrainians. Don't care about their reputation, the world or treaties.
Activision Blizzard is already a US company. If the US is worried about the health of the video game platform market (which is to say, if it ignores PC and Switch), then it can use the exact same antitrust argument to force Sony to allow sideloading on consoles and break their stranglehold on the hardware.
A particular Billy Madison quotes comes to mind.

I am French, nothing in France today is comparable to the France of De Gaulle or d'Estaing.

You still can get good treatment in private clinics or in specialized centers such as Institut Gustave Roussy, but not in the average public hospitals which are constantly pushed to lower their costs, including by the “socialists”.

Overall, I don't think the situation is any better in France than in the UK or the US.

It is perhaps even worse than in the UK, for example in my small town of Saint-Malo, an elderly person lay on a stretcher in the emergency room for many hours and died there without seeing a doctor.

On average in France, 20 to 30 people die per month in the emergency room without having received treatment.
Not necessarily:

No Score = higher risk, higher interest.

Incorrect low score = perceived higher risk, higher interest rate.

Depending on how the risks of no/low score are weighted, and how wrong the inaccurate score is, a person may very well be more harmed by no score than by a low score. An inaccurate score might have to be massively off the mark to make a person worse off than no score at all. In the US for example, people with no credit history often get interest rates as high or higher than people with a relatively low credit score.

Of course from a privacy & data protection standpoint this doesn't make silently and secretly profiling customers okay. The solution is probably something more like a transparent opt-in system that has easy access for the customer to review their data and decide which pieces of it are included.

In the US, the balance is skewed a bit more towards secrecy, and it's not opt-in either. However you can with only modest difficulty check your credit score & information used to calculate it, and challenge parts of it that you think are inaccurate.
Good experience so far, check their curated catalog out
Yeah, that would destroy the 14900K.
Electric trimming apparatus exist. On a 14 gauge extension cord you can safely have things on an ordinary 120 volt circuit with a 1500 watt motor, so there is more than enough power. Noisy, yes, but not as polluting as a small two-stroke engine and not nearly as loud.
Flowers was one of the first people to push data around with tubes. There was also an IBM group working on that before WWII, and by 1943 they had the "Vacuum Tube Multiplier" working. That eventually became the IBM 603 in 1946.

I've seen one in an IBM historical display; it looks like a very large hard-sided suitcase made of perforated black metal. The 603 was a limited product built to answer the question of whether electronics could be deployed to field locations and serviced by IBM maintainers. Only 100 were built. They solved the problems of making tubes work in the field, so the IBM 604, the production version, was built in 1948. This was the beginning of IBM's line of cost-effective electronic business machines, ending with the IBM 650, which was a full scale computer affordable by businesses. Knuth learned to program on an IBM 650.

Much of early computing was about getting memory that worked, tubes that worked, capacitors that worked, connectors that worked, and making the things maintainable. All that didn't really come together until the IBM 1401, which was the first mass-produced computer that Just Worked.

It wasn't an architecture problem. The general ideas there had been worked out in the 1930s by Eckert at Columbia University, who came up with some insane mods to IBM tabulating machines to use them for scientific purposes.
This kludge, in 1934, was the first automatic number-crunching computing machine.[1] Eckert went on to become a founder of UNIVAC.

Understand, all this was being done in an era where a reliable AM radio was hard.

Hiya Hackers!

For the past few months, I've been working on writedown (https://writedown.app, https://github.com/NayamAmarshe/writedown). A free and open source markdown editor that focuses on UI and UX. It's made to be simple and beautiful but still powerful.

writedown has live markdown preview (option to disable this also coming soon), offline support, PWA and cloud sync.

You can also share your posts with other people (https://writedown.app/DhpDKTulcnOecM3wYt4AOiWiuGE3/posts/82f...) and download your posts in PDF, Markdown or HTML format.

Please do tell me how you like it and if you think it's useful (or not). I've been trying to create something simple that I could use for my personal notes, notes that I can share with my friends and so writedown came into existence.

I hope you like it and if you don't, I'd love to know the reasons. This is our second MVP and we're sharing this public beta with you all.

Thank you :)

Yes, ultimately you have to trust your endpoint device when relying on e2ee. Having root access to that device does not significantly change that requirement. If you're worried about Apple and Google subverting your device to read your e2ee messages, them giving you root access does not actually solve the problem.

With nearly all of the Xbox games I’m interested in being on Windows too and PlayStation having both better exclusives and better genre variety, I have no idea why I’d want an Xbox.

The last time Xboxes were remotely interesting to me was with the 360. Every generation since has been dominated by unremarkable competitive FPS games.
I would say that I don’t think it matters whether it was a lab leak or not, COVID shows that we shouldn’t be doing this kind of research either way.
China "seems" to be doing okay, and they have succeeded in lifting hundreds of millions out of desperate poverty. But their GDP numbers are all lies because every level of the CCP hierarchy has been exaggerating on official reports for decades. There is no independent verification allowed. External estimates based on resource flows and satellite imagery present a much bleaker picture.
Does this affect Hacker News?
There's a ton of these anti-fraud data collection companies. That industry (plus marketing/credit card data) is probably the lowest hanging fruit to find privacy violations, much more so than the usual GDPR targets you often hear about.

Maybe they can do the location tracking ones too that western police regularly buy.
> I don't see why Microsoft shouldn't be able to buy Activision, exclusives would be very helpful for them becoming competitive.

Because acquisitions make markets less competitive, not more. There are a zillion US companies making games, and if the platform gatekeepers become an issue, then the US can force them to open up their platforms and quit their rent-seeking.
If "stuff that I want" means "not having my rights violated by the government," yeah. (Compare to federal officials who think "Constitutional rights" means "obscure blue laws we have to work around.")

But if you really want to get specific, I would like for our government to take action based on the recent IG report outlining how they use private companies to gather dirt on us and subvert our constitutional rights. Perhaps they can refer to EU regulations which address similar concerns.
A bit of a weird reason, but Xboxes still support audio CD playback, while the PS5 doesn't.

Woah, you have a hyperbolic screen?

Haha. But you do have to project to x and y screenspace eventually, if you want to see your work. My take was pretty slanted towards vertex shader techniques rather than xyz representing cartesian spaces (or even euclidean).

One could imagine some scaling factor or something ending up in the shader variable for VERTEX.z that isn’t really z in an xyz mesh.

My afterthought scenario of projecting to XY (screenspace) is probably the more relevant one.

Beware of taxes though. If you leave the company before it's public, and the stock has increased in value, you have to pay capital gains taxes when exercising and there's the possibility that stock may end up worthless.

There have been many startup employees that have paid hundreds of thousands of dollars in taxes only to see their paper gains eventually disappear.
The F-35 is just a disaster, and already they're prepared for a "6th generation" fighter..

The F-35 still hasn't finished initial testing, and won't this year. The simulator to test it still hasn't been built. operational testing will come after that, and although hundreds have been produced, a "full rate production" decision hasn't come yet, and all the problems will have to be retrofitted into those old aircraft, if it is even possible.
What it's trained on shouldn't matter at all. What should matter is what it's capable of outputting, and whether that covers works in which someone holds copyright - so something regurgitating its input would be problematic, but something not capable of producing the same format of output as its input should be in the clear. Otherwise you're talking about something that shouldn't come under copyright law.
The word is icky, but so are the practices it describes. So I like the connotation denotation match.

That's not true. As far as the law is concerned, users/providers are shielded so long as they don't take part in authorship. You be as despotic or biased as you want, and you're still not considered the publisher of content provided by another user/provider.
Yes but we know it was one or the other, and I think we need to follow both paths regardless. We are unlikely to ever know definitively which one it was.

And all of the effort debating lab leak or not just distracts time and attention from actual efforts to prevent it from happening again.
Love it, a lot of inspiration from gov.uk in this.

> they fail to allow just punishment to happen to that crew member

Which episode were you thinking of?

I'm assuming TNG's "Justice"? In ToS "Wolf in the Fold", Scott did not commit the crime but was subject to the local authorities; In DS9 "Hard Time" O'Brien did not commit the crime but was subject to and punished by the local authorities; In ToS "A Taste of Armageddon" the entire crew violate local law by not reporting to the disintegration chambers; In ToS "City on the Edge of Forever" Kirk and Spock steal clothing, and Spock steals tools (that one concerned the human race); In "Patterns of Force" Kirk and Spock are arrested and interrogated after stealing clothing and attempting to infiltrate a government building; In VOY "The Chute" Paris and Kim are imprisoned after a false conviction; In VOY "Ex Post Facto" Paris is imprisoned after a false conviction.

(Also, Nog attacked an army captain while under detention in New Mexico in DS9 "Little Green Men", and escaped without punishment by the local authorities.)

If you are talking about "Justice", I don't think your characterization is quite accurate. In fact, I think you've flipped things? Quoting Memory Alpha at https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Justice_(episode):

> Liato feels that Picard is suggesting some kind of a superiority. He suggests that the Enterprise just use their superior powers to rescue the boy, stating that they would just record him as a convicted criminal out of their reach, an advanced person who luckily escaped the barbarism of their "backward little world". But Picard tells them that he wants to honor and respect the Edo's rules and law, referencing the Prime Directive.

and

> Rivan is amazed at "the city" in the sky, and is surprised that with all this power, they do not just take Wesley. ...

> Finally, Picard asks how the Edo God aliens would react if they were to violate the Prime Directive and Data answers that they would consider the Enterprise crew to be "deceitful and untrustworthy" and subsequently reminds Picard that the Edo God aliens warned them to not to interfere with their children below.

Picard, before the sundown deadline when Wesley's execution was supposed to take place, instead appeals to the Edo god / high-tech "parent" and receives leniency. Its/their authority is above that of the Mediators, and recognized as such by the Edo.

If it isn't a guarantee in writing it isn't even worth wasting the time to perceive it, let alone believe it. Executives are just piles of wet meat whose only function is turning lies into profit.
I recall a story someone told me a while ago. Software business that did local CoL/prevailing wages. Hired an intern one summer that was just running around in circles around the other, more senior devs. Useless to say they loved him and the next summer they tried to get him back, even offering a signing bonus for an internship (something they considered unheard of) but he was already at a large search engine company down in the Bay. You can guess the comp was probably already 3x what his previous job was offering. Of course, he wouldn't return.

There's a whole class of engineers were completely invisible to most companies, even if they are in the same "local market" [0][1] (Some use the term "dark matter devs" but I know it has another meaning [2]). These guys tend to fly under the radar quite a bit. If you are in a tier 2 market or company, your chances of attracting one are close to nil. Because they are extremely valuable, they don't interview a lot and tend to hop between companies where they know people (or get fast tracked internally).

FAANG companies have internship pipelines, with bonus for returning interns. These guys are off the market years before they even graduate.
