Not sure you’ve been in the truck market lately, but the only Tacomas under $10k have almost 300,000 miles on it. $20k will get you one with 200,000 miles on it. It’s amazing how well they hold value.
My gmail address is lastname@gmail.com. Not a particularly common last name, and I thought it lucky when I got that address early on. I've since come to view it as mostly a curse.

I get email invoice every time Orkin goes out to spray a house in North Carolina. No option to say "this isn't me", and I've given up calling to tell them after multiple cycles.

The elderly German couple that would email their train itinerary so that their cousin could pick them up at the station. I would politely reply that I am not their cousin, and consequently their cousin would not be at the station. And six months later we start again.

Someone in Canada with first initial + last name that results in my last name kept getting wired money, and I would get in email with instructions. Of course no "not me" option. I haven't seen one of those in a while, hopefully he figured it out.

And so many more stories of people with my last name or close to it happily sending me their email... But I've had the address for practically forever, and really don't want to let it go.
There's a lot of research done with drones but the world isn't quite ready yet. Realistically, drones delivering packages will get shot down in the US, simply for being unmanned and flying over people's neighbourhoods. People easily feel threatened.

Perhaps more importantly, there's too much that could go wrong. What about legislation where they may fly and how high? What if a drone crashes into someone or something? What if someone's package gets stolen?

As much as the technology enthusiasts in us enjoy the concept of delivery drones, most of us humans still prefer a fellow human in the process of delivering packages to handle edge cases where things might go wrong.
>in your opinion what is the difference between a Republic and a Democracy?

To keep things simple:
democracy -> majority rule

republic -> majority rule + no inheritance of public offices (so no monarch)

Of course it can get more complicated than that - democracies can differ in terms of who can and cannot vote, freedom of press, how exactly the separation of powers is handled (or if the powers are separated at all), what method is used to distribute seats in the parliament, how much power is held by the president and how much is held by the prime minister etc.

By that definition US and UK are both (representative) democracies but of these two only the US is a republic and UK is a parliamentary ("constitutional" sounds pretty weird in this context given that there is no codified constitution) monarchy (while still being a democracy).
I find it infuriating. I have no idea how people live with those things. There's no reason you can't have buttons below a clickpad. It's like they just hate precision and users being able to right click without moving their thumb.
2 is surprising as that’s the opposite of where I’d expect delivery drones to be useful. You don’t need them in dense urban environments where a stocked truck offloads inventory with low mileage. You want them in rural areas where as the crow flies makes a difference and it’s expensive to have a truck driving about sparsely populated areas.
IMO both are the same. They will take bribes when they can get away with it. In Brazil lobbying is illegal but prevalent and politicians hardly goes to jail and if they go is only because they where being incovenient to their peers. And voters most of the time are clueless and only care about corruption when the other side is doing it. Government main business is expropriating others wealth and redistributing among themselves and their friends.
Yes, exactly. It's all over.
The whole notion of "expectation of privacy" and the medieval theology arguments around it, is so BS, and yet people are so conditioned to it.

It should be a set of clear cut cases: "your house is private", "your car is (or isn't)", and so on, and anything private should need a warrant. Courts shouldn't get to decide, or interpret various techniques attempted to bypass this...
When it comes to laptops, plastic exteriors are often a signal that the machine is lower end with as minimal of an internal frame as the manufacturer can get away with, which means that it’ll have extreme body flex which is bad for motherboard longevity. It also means that the laptop will probably squeak and creak when picked up and handled which subjectively feels cheap, and doesn’t bode well for the laptop being able to take a tumble.

There are exceptions like the older ThinkPads which had robust frames under their plastic, but this is not typical.

The Science of Cooking might be a good reading resource (DOI:10.1002/9781118910771) although I can't personally attest to its quality.
As an American I didn't read the title "How do you live?" as being somehow accusatory. I read it more in the sense of "what are the best known practices for living?". I didn't get any negative connotations from the title/question.
> There is bias about History depending on what country is telling the story.

A funny example of this is fan death [1]. Comparing English to southeast Asian languages show that Asian languages pages suggest that it's real (at least last few times I translated it).

An, in a bit of relevancy, the Japanese page has been overwritten with "I love you" and "I'm sorry".

There's some (vague, nonspecific) goals in the Google Doc linked on the phab ticket (though someone did point out that the doc was created weeks after the ticket was filed).
I want the one that stores the passwords securely in my devices’ secure enclaves whenever possible.

I also prefer the native OS browser without extra reskinned chrome (not Chrome) wrapped around it.

Firefox can’t do that.

Don’t get me wrong, I like Firefox, but I trust Apple more. Also: Firefox can’t afford to say no to the FBI.
Practice. Practice. Practice. Cooking is all about building up an intuition about texture, time, heat, flavor, and a bunch of other things that impact the final product. It helps if you can dedicate an entire week to a single dish at a time so that you cook it over and over again, experimenting with minor variations each time. You have to practice to develop this intuition because cooking is imprecise and allows for an incredible amount of variation when selecting and performing the recipe. Only once you have some of that intuition can you actually take a scientific approach to cooking (which is mostly a waste of time unless you're a celebrity chef anyway).

If you want to get really scientific then Modernist Cuisine: The Art and Science of Cooking [1] by the patent troll is probably the most comprehensive resource available but if you're still trying to move beyond memorization, it is complete and total overkill. I would recommend focusing on the above advice rather than on trying to make the art of cooking scientific. It doesn't really matter how well you understand the science of meat temperatures when the natural variation in steak marbling can vary your cooking times by 10-30%.

SeriousEats.com is a great resource for very detailed recipes where the authors experiment and discuss results rather than just providing a single recipe. Whenever I'm learning a new dish (I don't learn recipes, I learn how to make dishes!), I go to SeriousEats, Reddit, and Youtube to find several recipes for the dish I'm trying to make. Using my past experience and intuition, I distill my own recipe tailored to the exact ingredients and tools available to me.

Other than Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat, I can recommend On Food and Cooking, The Way to Cook and The Joy of Cooking, The Professional Chef, Essentials of Italian Cooking, Ratio, Food Lab. If you're looking for a reference on combining flavors see The Flavor Bible

There are potentially intriguing synergies down the line, beyond establishing a social presence.

Fediverse platforms could integrate links to wikipedia content in a native way, somewhat similar to openstreetmap.

The reverse is more speculative but potentially more groundbreaking. It would be a parallel "fedipedia" platform that would somehow distill, organize and preserve the various bits and pieces of useful information and knowledge that is being generated in social media platforms.

One of the sadest outcomes of the adtech based walled garden era is how decades of human interaction and information exchange ends up in a sort of digital landfill.

We need to think more boldly about the next web and the shape of the digital commons.
It was a pleasant surprise during our Japan trip and we went to watch 'How do you live' in the Toho Cinema Shinjuku on the second day. Very beautiful and touching movie, even with very limited Japanese skills.

It’s not arbitrary, it’s an engineering choice. It’s just easier to design binary circuits.
We are officially no better than china when it comes to mass surveillance now. We’re just a few years behind on deployment compared to Xi
This argument has been made time and again with respect to racial profiling. Even if it works that doesn't make it right. You either have an actual suspicion or you're just engaging in profiling of some sort and that means that everybody is suddenly a suspect. This is why dragnet surveillance is such a bad idea.
You'll need to take that up with the authors of the 4th Amendment, who left this matter up to the courts when they gave people in the US the right to be free from "unreasonable" searches, where "unreasonable" is a term of art that effectively means "it's up to the judiciary".

More to the point, this theological business of determining where the expectations of privacy are is exactly the business of declaring what is and isn't private that you're asking them to work out.
Mostly because history indicates that this is a pattern that repeats over time. But also because if I don't have at least that small hope, the despair would be hard to handle.
LOL... they're boiling the frog while we wait for things to get better.

Spoiler: we're the frog.
If I had significant wealth, one of the things I'd do would be to try and commission Miyazaki to make another film in the same veins as Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind or Princess Mononoke. Maybe adapting his earlier Shuna no Tabi manga, which was also great. I'd even settle for something more kid-friendly like Castle in the Sky or Spirited Away.

I know money probably wouldn't sway him, but a donation to something he cared about... maybe. It's just an unrealistic hope, anyway.

I can't stand that there's nothing else like Princess Mononoke or Nausicaa. The world needs more Miyazaki, and especially his adult-themed sci-fi and fantasy.

Miyazaki is a treasure. I'm going to miss having him.

As long as the material presented in court is acquired via legal methods, no laws are being broken, are they? Now, if officers use legal loopholes to take illegally-acquired evidence and somehow make it legal, that's a practice that should be rooted out and those involved prosecuted. But as long as officers can construct a legal case completely independent of the poisonous tree, what's the issue?

Average location doesn’t really make sense but the typical hacker news reader probably does live in the West or Japan.
Definitely a sideshow. But this is still important case law. The police can use a commonly available technology (iPhone) to observe things through some kind of obfuscated barrier. They've been allowed to do this with a flashlight (darkness) and now they're allowed to do it with iPhones (tinted windows).

Seems perfectly fine to me.
Of course there are limited expectations of privacy in a vehicle. The glovebox, trunk, a box in the back seat, a duffel bag in the front seat, anything concealing the contents has an expectation of privacy. And no, you don't just automatically lose your 4th amendment rights just because you're on a public street.

Tinting laws are for motor safety, not for the surveillance state. Notably, limousines are fully tinted in the rear as well as most passenger buses. And of course, cargo vans etc are fully enclosed.

The thing that's holding me back from getting one is the memory markups. The base configuration is too low and I can't just change the memory myself because everything is soldered.
Since the time of the founders, you've had essentially no rights to privacy at border crossings.

"Parallel construction" is a message board argument. At the point where you've decided the law doesn't matter, we can just stop talking about this stuff, because none of it matters.
> (like the backup cameras became required in 2018 for example)

But there's no law saying you can't disable the backup camera.
Any electromagnetic radiation of considerable power and penetrability causes oxidative stress, which in turn causes cellular damage, which in turn increases probability of getting cancer.

So they are kind of right when they say that radiofrequency electromagnetic fields are possibly carcinogenic to humans. They are, but to a small degree for the most part.

Bonus is that I use a separate subdomain of my custom domain for disposable email addresses which means it never fails email checks (some don't like disposable/temporary email domains).

I'm a software dev using a Macbook, and day-to-day I use a mouse, but this week I'm housesitting and only brought the laptop, and I haven't noticed any decrease in productivity by using just the touchpad.

There's actually a few benefits, like touchpad gestures for app and workspace switching being much faster than the equivalent keyboard shortcuts.
The OG ESP32 and successors esp32-S2 and ESP32-S3 use an ISA from company Tensilica called Xtensa LX6 (LX7 for the S3). The ESP32 C and H series use RISC-V. Xtensa is pretty well supported by compilers at this point, but RISC-V is on the rise and will have better support going forward. At this point in time, the S3 is the speediest ESP32 and is well supported, so it probably doesn't make a big difference.

Plus, even if the manufacturer gets on board with an OS that is truly touch-friendly on a laptop, getting all the software manufacturers to also update their UIs for touch will be a long, long haul, I'm afraid.

Note this chart shows nominal dollars, not PPP-adjusted. The EU has certainly kept up with the US when looking at PPP GDP from 2008 to 2022:

US grew from $14.8T to $25.5T

EU grew from $14.3T to $24.3T

What that means is that the prices of goods are inflated in the US compared to similar goods in the EU. That's all.

Want something interesting? Look at China who grew from $10.0T to $30.3T over the same period (!)

In all honesty, why is a 4-bedroom house with only a single dedicated car parking space a problem?
Is it because families that have decided they must have multiple cars parked close to their home all the time are leaving them parked in public locations that other people value and want to use? If so, it sounds like those parking locations need to be charged for. Said families may then rethink whether they really need those cars parked so close to their homes all the time (or indeed, whether they need so many cars at all).
I just tried this with my iPhone 12 mini on my cars, which were parked in my garage out of direct sunlight. I was shocked by how well it worked.
I always understood the limit on tinting to be bidirectional in its safety benefit. The driver needs to see, but the driver also needs to be seen. As a pedestrian, if I can't see the driver, I don't know if they can see me. I wonder how often drivers in heavily tinted vehicles gesture and don't realize they can't be seen?
But you know that in the real world, that frog thing doesn't work, right? The frog will, in fact, get out when the water gets too hot no matter how slowly the heat increases.
I wouldn't say this is necessarily a bad thing. The S3 is the most powerful ESP chip to date in terms of raw CPU power and even has AI and DSP instructions, esoteric things like direct CPU GPIO and more, I was kind of suprised to see such a powerhouse used for the Nano.
This particular obfuscated barrier is already disfavored by the law; for instance, where I live, window tints sufficient to block inspection of the passenger compartment of the car by an officer standing next to the car are already effectively illegal.
I understand the desire to flee Ansible before the IBM shittification completes, but anything based on Salt is not the way.

Needing a "master" node that can lose sync or orphan managed nodes it forgets about is a show stopper for any project with meaningful hardware churn.

The US constitution did not address the matter of privacy, but US legal tradition - over the centuries - has interpreted it to _imply_ such a right, or some kinds of privacy protection.

See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_to_privacy#United_States

Also, The search part, and perhaps even the inspection of cars using the cameras, may be considered "unreasonable search" of the kind forbidden in the 4th amendment to the US constitution.

Still, remember that both law and policy are made by the state and applied by the state, in the service of state interests, which overlap the interests of subjects only to a limited extent. The US government already basically wiretaps most people's private communications (via Google, Apple, Yahoo, Microsoft etc. - Snowden revelations) - so why not spy on people on the roads?
You’re glossing over the fact that the dogs are trained to respond to the officers commands, and the officers can make a trained K-9 alert on any car.

Essentially parallel construction. Know their perp from other means, make dog alert on it, continue to abuse your power.

You can port your phone number to a voip provider if you will be out of the country for a while. Use a sip phone app, and the "transport layer" sim that you happen to use will have nothing to do with the phone number that is intermingled with your identity.
Sounds great until something shorts or fails and the tinting goes full opaque while driving!
Do you refer to the Fourth Amendment to the US Constitution?

That prohibits unreasonable searches, but can the AI define what counts as "reasonable"?

ClimateTown, along with Not Just Bikes, City Beautiful, City Nerd, and the like give me hope that the message is getting out.

That being said, the more I watch these videos/listen to their podcasts the more I understand that city planners, specifically those in charge of managing traffic and parking, have been taught _incorrectly_ for decades. These content creators regularly say that if we want change we are going to need to go to city council meetings and speak up, but in reality what credentials do I have to talk about this stuff? It's my word as a software dev who consumes content about this against someone who's studied this stuff for years of their life. I don't personally blame the city planners, but I do think that car-centric planning has been engrained into their education fundamentally to the point where plans are made based on factors solely considering number of cars moving through traffic lights for example, vs. number of people crossing an intersection irrespective of mode of transportation.
I wish they would add Linux support. I use Linux and macOS almost 99% of the time and don't use Windows. Please Apple, make it happen.
Not true. They were doing perfectly fine charging a fair fraction of their 100 mil userbase $1 a month. They sold because founders wanted an exit.
Doesn’t seem like a bonus. Your custom domain could just be blocked wholesale. Hide my email uses iCloud, not a separate domain. iCloud addresses probably won’t be blocked as that’s the default email given for hundred million plus Apple accounts.
If the window tint can be "peered through" by an iPhone (commonly available technology), is it still illegel? This court said no, it's not.

First price and second it's an Extended cab so you loose truck bed space. Not a kei truck replacement just because those 2 things. Unless you don't mind the price and never haul longer things.

Also most kei trucks the side of the truck bed folds down giving you more of a flat bed which for some things is super super handy.
If we're going by the "plain view doctrine", you can cover up any item in your car with e.g. a blanket, and an officer would not legally be able to move the blanket to see what's underneath without a warrant, probable cause to search, or permission from the vehicle owner (I'd add the caveat that seeing the shape of a gun underneath a blanket could probably pass for probable cause).

So, moving that boundary from "the blanket" to "the window" to me seems pretty reasonable, except that a window tint doesn't completely obscure what's behind it like a blanket would. A tinted window fundamentally can't protect from plain view in the same way that non-transparent object can; the owner would be better off hanging curtains from inside the car.
In Spain we got three or four "officially" since 1492-1512 or 1714 depending on how the modern Spain it's stated. One of them with a dictator lasting down to 1975. Go back to the Iberian kingdoms and the fun starts back to the Romans and before.
I agree seeing another driver who isn’t paying attention approaching an intersection has saved me several times.
