I think doing a randomly distributed trial would be very challenging. How do you imagine funding it? How do you imagine getting PE to agree to buy random things rather than strategic things? Do you expect them to turn down 50% of almost-closed deals to keep it closer to random? How would you keep things being distorted by the money you'd be giving to PE to get them to change their behavior?

And what additional knowledge do you hope to gain versus a study design like this one that would be justified by the much larger expense?
If your car can be repossessed, it can be stolen, and the set of tools in a repo mans arsenal for moving vehicles is much larger than most people might expect. If I can get my hands on your vehicle, I can take it.
Sounds like a VW: behaves differently under test.
The correct choice is to instead use something that doesn't require a really long time to both learn properly and modify until it's decently functional, even including premade distributions for it, and just using something to get the job done so that, you know, you get the job done instead of preparing to get it done and not getting it done.
There are dozens of similar mechanisms for sale on Amazon/aliexpress. A car alarm with an immobilizer is more advanced than this “innovation”.

They are claiming that the novel part is using voltage fluctuations to unarm the immobilizer and claiming that it requires less installation since the signaler device can plug directly into the cigarette outlet. A wireless relay requires the same cuttoff relay installation as their “new” idea, but is even more convenient because you don’t have to install a bodged together keypad on the cigarette lighter, and short your electrical system to cause voltage fluctuations.

They have blown through 1.2mm in grant money and their product is a bunch of prototype parts from a $50 arduino starter kit. It isn’t polished, it isn’t ready for consumers, it is a single prototype.

I guess the idea of causing voltage fluctuations is novel, but they sort of reinvented a $30 wheel for 1.2 million.
And the overwhelming majority of people, including thieves, don't do this, because the raised barrier to entry makes gun crimes vastly less attractive.

Currently worried about this. My employer asked me to help the production team with some assembly of the product which involved a good amount of soldering. Turns out it’s leaded solder and the owner doesn’t believe in venting the solder smoke to the exterior of the building. The tiny fans used are a joke. I’m in software and won’t be doing this regularly but it’s still incredibly worrisome as I don’t see employees washing their hands after handling it so it could be everywhere.

Haven't watched yet but words I have seen used to describe so far are it's a concentrate, a funeral, those kinds. And there's absolutely no trailer for this movie; there's the poster, a "quock quock quock" tweet from Ghibli's Twitter account, that's all that are out of theaters on this matter.

Now that I'm mildly spoiled by Verge I have to go watch it. damn. Hopefully they don't mandate suit and a tie.

My whole life I've struggled with the need for cars in the places I've lived. Very few US cities have the right infrastructure to go car-free, and the places I personally have lived feature such unrelentingly hot summers that going anywhere without AC is pretty much a nonstarter.

But it exists as a low-grade "well this sucks, but I can't do much about it" fact of existence, like hangnails or tax audits. Then, last year, I bought a motorcycle in lieu of us getting a second car, and I found that EVEN WITH the hassles of weather and limited cargo, and EVEN WITH factoring in the need to wear protective gear, the dead solid CERTAINTY that I can park in seconds without being far from my destination makes the bike my preference 80% of the time.

Only 100F or driving rain will make me PICK the car if the logistics of the trip don't demand it for other reasons. The agility, ease of parking, and absurd fuel economy are all huge wins, plus it's always more fun that driving.
“ Until very recently all the discourse on lead exposure and contamination seems to have been focused on the bullet itself.”

Not without reason. Animals hunted with lead bullets often leave lead fragments in the natural environment via gut piles (if recovered) or the carcass itself (if not recovered).

Lead poisoning is one of the leading causes for death for carrion birds (who eat the carcasses/gut piles) - such as the California Condor. Because of this, wildlife preservation groups - like the Peregrine Fund - have been vocal proponents of eliminating lead bullets.

This listicle is hard to follow: it seems to be confounding the 1988 dub (hilariously bad) with the 1998 dub (which was done by Disney and is, IMO, pretty good). In particular, the items about Sheeta's recharacterization and removed silences don't apply to the 1998 dub.

Miyazaki has had his fair share of bad dubs (including one of the Castle of Cagliostro ones), but I think it's fair to say that he's fared the best of any major Japanese anime director.
Life's short; burst that bubble. I wish I had your background when I visited because there was so much beneath the surface I probably didn't grasp.
Yeah that's the big rub. Once apple abandoned their 32bit systems so did all the developers including mozilla. I was able to find pale moon. That worked for a time, but even those guys gave up support.

It sucks because perfectly good software just was abandoned almost overnight.

Edit: I'd like to add that I have gotten to a point where I felt comfortable upgrading to apple silicone (3 years in), but now I am experiencing the opposite problem. Where the same develpers were more than happy to drop support overnight; are now slow to develop for the new chipset.
Oh, I did. I figure it means you're the kind of person who knows he's going to be a dick but wants to do it under a disposable identity to as not to harm his score. So you're not just a jerk, but a calculated jerk.

I have already illustrated to you how you are not taking into account the differences between 2004 and 2023, along with how your original statement is just plain badly worded - if not outright incorrect, but I'm being charitable.

If your only remaining tangent here is to attempt to debate with the semantics of how "massive" is defined then I'm guessing we've reached the conclusion of this thread.

No one is going to respond to the, CT "imminent" launch until it actually launches. It was revealed 4 years ago and still doesn't have a release date.
Well if that’s the case then it is indeed a rip off for the taxpayer.
This question is for my education alone, but since you seem quite passionate I am curious.

I just read a super long article about licensing to understand your comment as well as the article you wrote. Under these "source available" licenses, I can still sell the software within some kind of package correct? Like if I create my own PR linter I can use Grai and still sell it? I just can't host grai with some observability and sell it? Or am I misunderstanding?

Bias != Reliability.

There's a reason "The Atlantic" is listed green even though it's conservative. Hell they list the Christian Science monitor as green for reliability (as they should imo), I don't think Wikipedia is demonstrating a bias based on any particular ideology in their sources on this list.

This wiki list is a list of sources by reliability. If you only publish stories which support your bias, but those stories are scientifically sound and don't omit context, I don't see the problem with using them as a source regardless of bias.

If you only allow sources from reliable sources aligned with a particular bias to the exclusion of reliable sources from another alignment, that would be an issue, but I don't see evidence of such here.

The problem isn't the bias. The problem is the factuality.
You're reading a lot of stuff into my comment that I did not say, and getting furious at a strawman of my beliefs.
I assume that the previous commenter was referring to Google's monopolies in search, email, and video.

All of which they will use to yell at you to switch to Chrome, and will sometimes cause to actually be faster or more featureful when using Chrome rather than any other browser.

It's a pretty clear case of using your monopoly in one market to artificially prop up your entry into a different market, which is very much the sort of thing that has traditionally been frowned upon both legally and morally.
Yes, that could be a better idea. I am mainly trying something new to work more "in the open" and write blogs about things as a do them. I could be wrong and that would be pretty embarrassing for me. I just published the code I used to double-check things, now linked on the page near the bottom.

In my experience, people underestimate their abilities and are so afraid to mess things up, even in a preprod environment, that they don't even try. I try to encourage people and let them know they can't mess anything up, but like the saying goes, you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make them drink. Some people get it faster than others.

There's also the pressure from above to fix things quickly, meaning some people don't have time to really explore and learn and need to be given answers...

Nice. I've been tracing and painting a lot of tile designs recently and it has given me an appreciation for how even quite simple seeming designs have a lot more to them than it seems at first.

Balancing the ratio of space to color, playing with different widths of curves, and choosing an underlying grid - all very subtle but important in producing an interesting symmetrical pattern.

edit : Oh, and also I would recommend this book on tiles : https://www.vam.ac.uk/shop/books/all-books/the-tile-book-157... it has some amazing examples, from many different historical periods and areas of the world.
Why does he need to market. I know about this movie because of all of the "not being marketed" news posts. Media is giving them a free marketing coupon it seem. He's playing it well.

That said I rarely see movie marketing anymore. Only movies I know are out are barbie and Oppenheimer due to the meme and my friend insisting we go to both.

I just don't see ads much anymore.

To see the case in point, this is a generic fractal zoom video.

Go to the gear at the bottom of the video, and change bitrate. There is now a "1080p premium HD, enhanced bitrate". This setting is gated behind Youtube Premium.

I've never seen this before. And it goes to show that I could easily see this becoming a thing for many other videos as well, and possibly even all 1080p videos. Again, this is conjecture from limited data points.
There is zero novel research here, and the entire purpose of the 1.2 million dollar grant was research. All the value you are mentioning is related to bringing a product to market, which is something that the grant did not require and universities don't usually follow through. Most of the time transition to industry happens is when there are motivated companies who do all the work to bring the device to market, but need university patent licenses and expertise to do so. This would be a great senior project, but it is a complete waste of money for a cyber security grant.

I have substantial savings, a degree in business, decades of developer experience (from start up to public), I execute well, I work well with others, and I can build solutions. I have near zero potentially successful business ideas. "Solve a problem you have" - I don't see a path to a market from any problem I can identify. Do I have what it takes to start a company? Sure, file some paperwork. Do I have what it takes to start a company that makes money? I'm missing the first part: ideas.
They already spent $1.2mm. They have a prototype hand wired together. This isn’t even close to production ready, and it never will go into production because almost every new vehicle has an immobilizer built in that is authenticated via an nfc chip in the key that does exactly what this does, but transparently without driver input.

RE Connections: I meant they only matter if they are high up enough to literally hand you a position. Anything lower than that (i.e. an IC referral) was completely useless in 7 different companies.

This is not even close to true. Most of the world is still wilderness, and always will be. I'd love to drop you in the middle of Siberia, northern Canada, or the Amazon and watch you try to find a road or hut :)

Hell, I could drop you in a huge wilderness region in my state (Arizona) where you might walk a dozen miles before you encounter a "trail" (loosly defined).

Honestly, I don't know how you could end up with a take like that unless you're a European who hasn't travelled much.
Ask HN: Plaintext-oriented and SQLite based family office accounting solutions?
Does anyone know of anything in the spirit of something like plain text accounting (https://plaintextaccounting.org/) but adapted to integrate the complexities of a wealthy family? I intend to implement something myself, but was interested in knowing whether there was anything like this out there, or to hear from someone with experience with this problem.

The point would be to design something that substitutes for Addepar but with a sensibly organized sqlite db and csvs as "first class" sources of truth (and scripts to handle a variety of common functionality).

So it is really an exercise in understanding the correct architecture of various hierarchies, relationships, and categories in the context of a wealthy family.

All the major software out there just does not seem very good, appear to have a principled handle on the fundamental and primitive relationships and operations that describe a family's financial affairs (everything done on an ad hoc basis). And because of this, entail complete data/platform lock-in.

>> adding things in an area that's already served by infrastructure

Unlike in video games, "adding" load to infrastructure can cost more than running new lines. Everything from pipes to power lines have finite capacities. If a city sewer system is at capacity, as many are, dropping some more people into the middle (replacing a parking lot with houses) will require possibly ripping up the old sewer/water/power lines to expand them. And expanding their up/downstream connections. That can impact far far more than the local connection, often costing much more than green-field development. Imaging how much cost to open up and expand a sewer under any Manhattan street. Compare that to digging a trench through a green field out on the outskirts of town.

Which application languages and frameworks support this kind of dynamic memory allocation? For predictability in performance and throughput reasons we benchmark our Java applications on specific cpu and memory constraints and specific heap and memory settings.

I don't agree with any of your points. The reason why open source turns into commercial and drops the ball on open source is because open source is barely sustainable. The answer isn't legislation. The answer is to make open source sustainable.

Farmers buy their trucks as a business expense, before the money has been taxed and disbursed to them personally.

Still expensive, but it's not the same as an individual spending $60-90K of their own personal after-tax money on a truck.

Trucks also don't depreciate as fast as normal cars. If you're getting a significant effective discount by avoiding taxes and then you can sell the truck for half of its original value after 5 years, you may only be "paying" a fraction of the truck's true total cost to drive it.

Source: Grew up around farmers. They loved accounting and tax tricks that could be used to purchase nice trucks.
