That's the wrong question.

The right question is "Is it easier than tearing down the building and building a new one that's designed for residential use in the first place?".
Austria has them, but almost nobody has one in practice since AFAIK there is no requirement to carry an ID. Everyone has a social security card though, which has a cryptographic chip. Digital signatures are also possible via a web platform called "Handysignatur", which is pretty good.
I wrote about this a while ago: https://simonwillison.net/2021/Jul/17/standing-out/

If you have a dusty old blog with just a single technical post on it from 2012 which demonstrates that you know how to code, know how to write and know how to solve a technical problem... that will STILL give you a solid advantage against other candidates, at least in the early stages of the hiring process.

When hiring, the very first filter you need to apply is "can this person actually do the work". That's what FizzBuzz is about!

A blog post (or a dusty old GitHub repo) is a great way to jump past that filter.
To be clear, these wordings has no impact on what was to be built, that had already been decided at a separate set of meetings. This goal setting meeting was sheer process.

At some point, the cost of building not quite the right thing has to be weighed against the cost of spending literally millions deciding on what to build next.
I read it as another derivation of victims with an emphasis on the human impact. I am just guessing but they probably used that wording as so many sites are hacked every week we probably don't associate it with the human suffering in terms of financial, job losses and data leakage leading to more financial losses it can cause especially when so many businesses are exposed by a significant vulnerability. I don't know if Jessica [1] has an account here but their email is listed.

Do you have some source that universal health care would reduce costs? I think it would be just extra tax, and medical expenses would just increase proportionally, similar way as with student loans.

My country has nationalised healthcare, yet you still have to pay for private doctors. There are no state dentists or pediatricians. And waiting list for surgery is months or years.

While I normally feel like the designers don't care about accessibility, I feel like in this case, it may be a bit of a security issue. The site wants to do all they can to foil automation, for example, and if the caret isn't helpfully placed exactly where they need to start input, a human can figure that out better than a bot.
I've spent the last 40,000 hours on the phone. With breaks, sleep, meals, adventures, and some charging in between...

-

Personally, I want the boutique car shops of the early 1900s style to re-open - whereby they build bespoke vehicles on a standard EV sled, such as this or the Tesla sleds that they open sourced their patents for back in the day...

I'd love to be able to literally design and build my body-work around a safety-rated-regulated frame/sled - and then have these made - the problem with this idea is the advent of monoquoque frames which is the frame and major body-panels are all one-piece, which then required the advent of automotive robotics to be able to pick-up the frame and turn it at angles where the degrees-of-freedom assembly arms can reach, insert/weld things...

but I'd rather have a "tesla" or this "toyota" guts with a custome body set that I can design with a studio, have them fabricated/printed and affix to the standard mounting holes/brackets of my safety-cage.

I especially would like to do this for what would be a camper-van design where you plop the van body atop the sled, have some interconnects for internals to controls etc... and then have the van body mount in a sensible manner...
They have an option to quit now. If the job is so awful, but people still do it the alternatives must worse. E.g. becoming homeless or an even worse job. I’m pretty sure we will see a spike in both.
Dang, HN’s moderator, have written about this before. Here is a recent example:
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35178503

Generally speaking, a waitlist isn’t interesting and doesn’t add value because users can’t try the product. It might be valuable to the creator but it can wait to be announced on HN when the product is ready.

As some others have suggested, you could write a detailed blog post about the values and share other details to see if that is valuable to the community and perhaps offer an opt in on your blog instead.

Good luck!
Except we do know why because they have written blog posts about it. They would rather make 100 hybrids than 10 BEV's. They think it's better environmentally and they haven't said this part, but probably a lot more profitable as well.

This is incredibly helpful.

And thank you so much!
Note: in many states, banks must provide notary services to the public. You do not have to be a bank customer. Banks will try to ask you to sign up for an account “so you can make an appointment with the notary”, but you can decline - insist that you just want a document notarized.

They may give you the run around saying “the notary isn’t in today”, options here are ask them to tell you which branch you could visit where the notary is available, or what day and time is best that you’ll surely catch the notary. They will be uncomfortable about this pressuring but they are required to provide this service.

>The existence of call-center work, which is intrinsically dehumanizing and unrelentingly laborious, is considered a failure of our society.

If the existence of these jobs is a failure of our society, what do you call taking these jobs away without any sufficient replacements that pay as well? There are plenty of places in the US where a call center job is the best job you can get without special skills.
Fractional reserve lending does create money.
Yes, I remember Google studying remote versus in office work well before the pandemic.

This isn't the study but it talks on the issue:

How is something worth anything? How is something worth $800b? Is it because someone else would pay $800b for it? Why would they pay $800b for that somethin? Is it because they need to in order to make more money?

If that all is true, then by destroying the need to pay $800b, we freed up $800b, right?

I mean, who drives 1200km in day anyway? But it is doable with todays EVs, many of which have ranges of around 500km or more, and only need a couple of hours of charging to drive 1200km (after starting with full capacity), during breaks you would mostly take anyways. Teslas, VW's ID.4, Hyundai's Kona electric and many more come to mind.
Cheers for Toyota's research, though.

Nope, that’s exactly how it works.

Here’s something to read on money creation:

Lowered asset values does not destroy money in the sense that the money supply is unchanged (ignoring secondary effects, but those are hard ti predict anyway).
Yes, this is essentially what i mean by "distributions are sampled from distributions", ie., there's a subjective uncertainty in the choice of model but also an uncertainty in the very determination of that uncertainty.

You can model a plausible "final stable distribution", after all these recursions, with a power law.

This makes intuitive sense, if you consider how science works: all the confirmatory evidence in the world doesn't help, all the information lies in the single refutative point. This is how power laws work.

So basically we're always operating under a heavily under-determined region with high uncertainty, and we can only improve that by disconfirmatory apparent outliers.
This is not entirely true. What about services that actively want to add people, but just need time to scale up their resources? Then they can add users as they have the capacity to. I signed up on Beeper's waitlist a few months ago and just got access last week. I am extremely happy with their service and believe it was well worth the wait. There was no spam and destruction, only a short wait and then I got access. Can you see how it is potentially beneficial to do this rather than hope you get the exact amount of users you can handle at any moment in time?
I sincerely think that the present corporate culture can suck the air out of anyone's life and force to seek contentment elsewhere very soon. Doing a research work and solve problems, where one does not have to seek approval (easier when you NL next to your name), on a daily basis can keep one engaged and energized.

> what's wrong with that documentation taking the form of an interactive agent

Among many others, in no particular order:

* (borrowing from above) The interactive agent can force you to sit through however many menus/questions the company wants until you are "granted" cancellation. Good luck finding the right option if they make it difficult to navigate! All the while, you have a condescendingly "friendly" "conversation". At least with a real person, I can convey my message clearly, and even if they must still read certain things, they will know to do so more quickly. Have you ever dealt with Amazon's chatbot, which shows the "typing" graphic for a few seconds before giving what is obviously generated text, and it takes a few back-and-forth exchanges like this before someone real introduces themself in the chat?

* You can't quote it like you can actual documentation, which has knock-on effects such being harder to hold the company to account, not being able to give advice to friends & family, not being able to compare competitors before you open an account, ...
> Trying to prevent technology from advancing is not possible, and even if it was, it would limit everyone’s standard of living, which is undesirable.

Technology doesn't immediately raise everyone's standard of living. Distribution of wealth from technology increases standards of living. But until we solve the distribution problem, technology will just exacerbate inequality and reduce standards of living for those not useful to the economy.
Every single time I see something related to BSDs, I think the same. How tiring...

For more than a decade, every single thing related to BSDs has been largely irrelevant. Every. Single. Thing.

Nobody cares about that, the only thing BSDs had was their license (vs. the GPL), and that's not entirely clear to have been good at all for the ecosystem (because, clearly, Linux has enjoyed a much greater development). Nowadays, even in embedded it's either Linux or RTOS, nothing like BSDs at all, so the GPL is clearly a non-issue.
If you're trying to sell people on a product in a blog post, you should include a link to that product. When I search for "Nomad Cloud" on DDG, the first hit is a link to a Wikipedia article on a database from the olden days.
And yet the last time I accepted OpenBSD's partitioning defaults I ended up with "/usr: no space left on device" the first time I tried building something from ports.
Kinda surprised Tesla hasn't split into multiple brands for high end, mid range and cheapo cars.

That way they can sell cheap shitty cars without damaging their reputation for high end vehicles.

HTML takes care of the accessibility for you in this case. Going further, plain HTML is by and large 99.9% accessible. As developers—as uncomfortable as it may be to hear—we take a 99.9% accessible markup foundation and BREAK that accessibility with our CSS and JS choices, then run through hoops patching accessibility back in again with a hodgepodge of aria-role attributes and scripting hacks.

Folks really don't get how much work went into plain old disrespected HTML. We just keep putting that fake brick wallpaper over real brick walls.
Yes. Also if you put yourself in the shoes of a coroner/investigator, how do you determine if it's a suicide vs an accident? And would you get the context you need from the family/friends/colleagues of the deceased, keeping in mind they might not tell you, or lie because they don't want their loved one to be remembered as someone who lost their battle with mental illness?

It's kind of undeniable that there's a rising mental illness crisis in the US and undoubtedly more suicides, but keep in mind that suicide, like all symptoms of mental illness, is hard to track accurately. Especially as the stigma towards mental illness is starting to cede.
Next step will be to finally make the demo of voice assistant calling support Google made a while ago real. Robots talk to robots to cancel subscription. In science fiction that would lead to AGI, but it will not.

My question to self is - retire to do what?
In most environments, it’s more effort to interpolate values into queries than to use parameters.
So then every Docusign use would demand that you help the surveillance companies verify the files they have on you, where you used to live, etc? And then they would use this shoddy "verification" as evidence that the person who clicked accepted was really you? No thanks!

What actually needs to happen is that things like Docusign need to be contextualized and treated as the appropriate amount of evidence of a contract that they are. Which is to say not much, just like a piece of paper with a signature on it these days.

A "signed" Docusign is evidence that someone opened an email link and clicked a box from a certain IP. It does not prove that a specific person did this. It does not prove that the person who did this actually read, understood, and agreed with the words in the document. In fact, a Docusign that didn't allow marking up the document is itself evidence that the person in question was coerced into accepting unilateral boilerplate terms, rather than being able to make modifications.

Like many legacy systems in the US, the jankiness from using an antiquated system is actually preventing a much more draconian system that would develop if the abstraction was made solid (for a straightforward example, see "identity theft").
Brute forcing is hacking…
This number is plausible to reach on one day while stopping for charges.

My median driving is very short (<30km/week), but I'll make one way drives of 1800km about 6 times a year. I did lots of research about the long range capabilities of Tesla when making my last purchase.
One thing to consider: Germany has a rapidly aging population so it naturally gets more unlikely to fund and get success with new technology. Imagine trying to develop some shiny new app in a country where over a quarter of the population is 60+ and most people refuse to pay cashless let alone accept any other new tech.
I’m an American citizen living abroad. I’m damn well going to learn from how things are done elsewhere, and try to bring any practices I find good back to the country that belongs to me as much as it belongs to any American here.

And no, I’m not going to “declare my intentions to the wait staff”. Another feature of restaurants in certain other countries that I’d like to see brought to the USA, is minimal interaction with wait staff. At a restaurant I want to be left alone to talk the people I came there to dine with, and the inane exchanges with wait staff and their feigned positivity (which they feel obliged to feign because of the tip culture) are tiresome.

Again, wait staff have multiple avenues available to them should they wish to increase their remuneration, like political involvement to shape legislation and organized labor, without expecting anything from customers.
This is not exactly correct. For example consider a single office building and say it’s worth $2 billion. But now demand has fallen and the most anyway will pay is $1 billion. The other $1 billion is not “lost”, but it’s not freed up either. It just means that the buyer no longer transfers it to the seller. So the buyer has an extra $1 billion to spend on other things and the seller has $1 billion less. The net effect on the economy should be approximately neutral (of course sometimes if asset prices fall too much then companies can go out of business which can hurt the economy etc)
This is fine for experienced workers who already know the job, but for anyone who is new (say first 2-5 years) or is looking for mentoring and growth/advancement opportunities, then the lack of in-person connections does hurt.

> Those who claim they build friendships etc at work, maybe genuinely ask yourselves - how many colleagues from your previous jobs do you really keep in touch?

I'll speak for myself and say that I am still regularly in touch with folks I worked at 4 jobs ago (12 years).. I guess it depends on why you are making those friendships, are you actually making friends or just looking to build social capital to give you advantage at work?

It can certainly be both, but if you don't keep in touch when you move on, then maybe it was only the latter.
This is essentially due to different marketing decisions by VW. VW, like most car companies, has loads of brands. Tesla has one. Items 2, 6, 12, 13, and 21 on your list are all VW. VW could, if it wanted to move up on that leaderboard, rename the Cupra (Seat sub-brand) Born, which is a mildly weird-looking id.3, id.3 (mildly weird looking trim) tomorrow.

This is a failure of our understanding of value in our current culture, which we almost always equate to productivity.

In a human society, agnostic of economics or politics, productivity would be the measure of ones ability to support their family unit , extended family, and community both in terms of physical support (food, clothing, shelter, child rearing, education, etc.) And emotionally support (cultural interactions, familiar interactions, social interactions). This is the fundamental nature of our social order, but with the advent and rise of modern American capitalism, everything must equate to a dollar amount. And that in a simple sense works for helping drive an economy, but in the complex sense of actual society - it devalues the foundational structures that make up human society.
I use Volksbank and I’m really happy.
This has been 100% expected. It is bacause of lack of US visa waiver to certain EU members (Romania and Bulgaria for example). It's the same for Canadians who travel to the EU and who's country lifted the mentioned restrictions.

https://www.etias.ca/

As much as I like Americans, you have to understand that you were priviledged before and that this privilege has ended because of your country's visa policy treating EU citizens differently.
Chump change compared to the lost productivity.

On the owner side "Remote work will transfer $800b from someone to anticipated it to someone who didn't as much. Neither will do anything valuable with it anyways."

On the renter side "Remote work will allow all the rents to be redistributed to shareholders, who will stack it neatly in piles of virtual $100 bills"

Essentially this doesn’t work because every email client I tried can’t handle the specific way my work email account does authorization and the login always fails. They also blocked POP/IMAP so that’s not an option either. No one else in a team of software engineers figured out a better way to access email so for now this is the best option
They explain the reasoning thus[1]:

Unlike some other operating systems, OpenBSD encourages users to split their disk into a number of partitions, rather than just one or two large ones. Some of the reasons for doing so are:

• *Security: Some of OpenBSD's default security features rely on filesystem mount options such as nosuid, nodev, noexec or wxallowed.*

• *Stability: A user or a misbehaved program can fill a filesystem with garbage if they have write permissions for it. Your critical programs, which hopefully run on a different filesystem, do not get interrupted.*

• *fsck(8): You can mount partitions that you never or rarely need to write to as readonly most of the time, which will eliminate the need for a filesystem check after a crash or power interruption.*

I'm sorry, but I don't really follow. This tool, like many others, was created for exactly this purpose: to configure the server from userspace. The ISPconfig web interface doesn't write directly to the server. It creates a series of tasks that are executed in the background by another process with different privileges (and you are limited to a list of predefined tasks, you cannot do an "rm -rF /"). So... I don't think it's possible to run arbitrary code through the ISPConfig web interface, because it runs with the limited privileges of a PHP FPM process that writes a task to the database queue, which is later read and executed by another process.
The main problem for me is when the web server (Apache or Ngnix) fails to start or restart for some reason. In this case you are cut off from the ISPconfig interface and forced to fix things by hand.
In the US, long drives aren’t crazy. This year I’ve done 4 single day drives in excess of 1400km. The furthest I’ve ever driven without stopping was 2500km, but that was with 4 drivers, and I guess a “day” isn’t quite right bc it took us like 27hrs.
thanx, thats helpfull
