Great to hear that you like it! Regarding the "script kiddies": We all started out like that and made our mistakes along the way, didn't we? For now it's enough for me if people with appreciation for web standards and accessibility find this and start using it in real-world projects. That will make the tool more robust and future-proof. And who knows, maybe it holds out long enough in it's little niche until the kids are grown?!

I'd be happy if anyone who likes it gives it a star on GitHub. That's how things get traction nowadays, I heard ;)

What about that whataboutism?

I am trying to parody the point that as soon as we decide that theft can mean whatever we wish it to (for presumably good reasons), then that implicitly allows everyone (including people you’d rather didn’t) to use theft to mean whatever they want it to.

Civil forfeiture is not theft (although it certainly feels like it to victims, and there are similarities between the two concepts).

Thread root claims wage theft is a bigger problem, and I am balancing that with time theft.

Sorry for stealing your attention.
I say this not to discourage you, but what's being described here is far from an edge case. Providers have often up to ~90 days (when in network with the plan) to submit a claim. Then payers have time to process the claim and adjudicate it. If the claim is denied, providers have more time to appeal the claim, etc.

Again, this isn't intended to be discouraging at all. Just don't operate on the assumption that eligibility APIs showing out-of-date deductibles is normal and not an edge case!

I spent the past 15 minutes looking into this and this exists for many cars, most of them on the luxury end[0]. You can find many stories in forums for Ferrari, Maserati, Lamborghini etc. Most traditional car makers took the VW/Audi route which allows for double pulls of the doorhandle to unlock. This is still an "emergency latch" and just one of many types that will become increasingly common on any car that is dominated by electronics. The chilling effect is now all car makers will make obscene attempts to remind the driver they can still exit in an emergency. Think of those yellow pulls cords to open your trunk from the inside.

Why doesn't the regular handle physically release the door? A car door shouldn't need an "emergency" function, it should be the default as this incident shows.
The people elect representatives who make law on their behalf. So what legal principle needs to be legislated?
I also can't imagine who would truly think that.

Who's the bigger fool? The fool who said it or the fool who believes it?

So it would seem that the different explanation would be the one that I offered. That humans conveniently hide behind the lies that they want until they are used against them. Which is what your last statement is about. Sure you'll absolutely trust everything that a person says and wander around and disbelief when they act against what they said saying I don't understand what happened. I guarantee the way you live your life does not conform to that. You listen to what someone says and then you judge based upon their actions and not their words. We all do that so you're sarcasm aside I know you don't live your life as a trusting fool otherwise you would not be here to comment.
If it’s so obvious and right there, I don’t get why it isn’t just a door handle.
I don't see how I would known that if i didn't happen to have read it, it doesn't seem to be marked at all and it's as inconspicuous as possible. Not a desirable property in a safety feature.

This is speculation, but it seems like if this 12V battery fails closed, you could easily have a situation where the door won't open and the cabin is filling with smoke.
They're not "turning ChromeOS into Linux." ChromeOS can and will still be a hardened secure browser-only computer that works identically with your login across systems on the platform. Having separate binaries for the UI shell and the Chrome browser doesn't nullify everything else. TFA even points out that users won't really notice any difference.
The browsers really need to make it possible to use templates and slots without javascript at all. There's no reason I shouldn't be able to define and use a custom element using HTML alone.

Until then I don't know if template and slot will take off.
Is it a coincidence that the light field lens resembles the compound eye of an insect? Could a similar process be happening in the insect’s visual cortex to reproject multiple views? Insects can’t move their eyes like humans, but apparently fruit flies can move their retinas. That seems very similar to the single focal point they demonstrated in the video.
That's called "right of return". Give the displaced people their home back.

How about "it is the Survey's opinion that certainly prior to 31 December 1945, and in all probability prior to 1 November 1945, Japan would have surrendered even if the atomic bombs had not been dropped, even if Russia had not entered the war, and even if no invasion had been planned or contemplated." https://www.trumanlibrary.gov/library/research-files/united-...
Yes. There are some things that just work better with a dedicated tool. Sure, my computer has a calculator app, but it's fiddly, the keyboard doesn't physically have buttons for all the operations, so I have to go and click on things. If I need to compute something and copy data to/from other windows, I have to deal with moving windows around to make room.

I do use the calculator on my computer. Quite a lot, in fact. But it's just annoying enough that I keep a pocket calculator on my desk at all times.

It's really great for when I'm doing calculations in my head and need to quickly do some operations. It's just ever so slightly easier to slide over my physical calculator and punch some buttons. It helps me stay in flow and keep all the numbers in my head. The calculator app is just a little bit too annoying and the physical calculator is just a little bit more functional.

As for model, no idea. Some Casio scientific calculator. I bought it because it advertised it could operate with hex or binary representation, but I never figured out how to make that work.

I would prefer a TI-84 or one of its decendants any day. I used to use a TI Nspire, it was really good. It even did 3D graphing and calculus.
We don't need to disincentivize the police from stealing. We need to take away their legally sanctioned right to steal.
Every time I ride in my friend's Tesla, he has to remind me not to touch the door because the only obvious handle is not the "correct" way to open it or something. Total UX fail.

Between that and the all touchscreen monstrosity that won't let you open the glove box or change the AC settings without taking your eyes off the road renders the car not very user friendly, IMHO. I wanted one real bad before I actually got to ride in one, and now it feels like I dodged a bullet there.
Hey fellow Xeta.

The number of secondary repos was/is declining by merging them into poly-monorepos. For example, opsfiles was/is moving to fbcode.

With good D/VCS tools that can checkout code efficiently, review processes, and CICD testing, there's no real reason to avoid monorepos.

Btw, the FB "hg" was semi-opensourced as sapling. Eden and mononoke still haven't been FOSSed. And, like many Meta dev tool FOSS projects, they don't just build and work OOTB and often have hard-coded Meta-isms like references to internal paths. https://github.com/facebook/sapling

The problem with the design isn’t the unintuitive handle. It’s the fact that said handle can damage the window if used. That is why it is an emergency-only handle. If anything, I wish the handle was less obvious so people wouldn’t accidentally use it. Even more ideally, I just with the handle didn’t have a somewhat decent chance of doing damage when used.
Naming another significant design failure is an interesting way to defend the design and harsh on users...
> improved battery longevity

No

> probably in an order of magnitude

Absolutely not.

> Low friction transport improvements

This material is superconductive at 110K (-163C). Not exactly usable for transport applications.

> faster and higher bandwidth wired connections.

Absolutely not, resistance has no impact on bandwidth.

I've seen variations of this comment on hacker news. Superconductors are not magic dust to make things better. They are conductors with 0 resistance. There are certainly applications for that (see the wiki you linked) but like all things based in reality those are all a lot more muted and probably not possible with the current materials.

You are getting excited about the possibility of wires. There are certainly cool things you can do with a nice wire, but it's still a wire. You can't store power much with it, It's too big to make logic circuits with, and applications (like levitating a train) require too many amps for our poor wire to remain a special wire. (Most super conductive materials lose conductivity when amps are too high).
Agreed. I've rented a Tesla on two occasions (for one week each time) and was unaware of this manual release until now.

I think it's better in the rest of the country, but since (unlike say in the US) a disproportionate number of Argentinians are concentrated in Buenos Aires, and the major tech companies are here, the rest of the country doesn't really matter in this context (with a few exceptions that don't even come close to Buenos Aires).

What statistics are you working with to support your point about planet Earth?
>I am curious why you don't think they aren't better than the alternatives? Are they amazing and beyond improvement? Of course not. But most of the alternatives are crap.

Do you think the quality of the alternatives might be related to the fact that Amazon/Audible is strangling all competitors out of existence with their exclusivity agreements?

Imagine if an audiobook competitor popped up that's a 10x better experience for customers and authors. They'd starve out of existence without major VC backing because even though they're better, they can't bring the sales volume that Audible can, so customers choose the worse experience on Audible with the exclusivity agreement because the total earnings are higher.

Long-term, that's a worse ecosystem for everyone except for Audible.
Looking forward to download the book from LibGen.

Elementary Worldly Wisdom, Charlie Munger
The meaning of "desktop" has become moot. I suppose when I had an X-terminal and everything was "remote" it was fine. Before then I'd had diskless Suns and again, it was an NFS locally cached view into what was remote. So.. if we're returning to some sense that based on our priors (google cloud, onenote, dropbox) we believe a local cache is fine for faster access to something which is remote, what Microsoft is doing is entirely logical and consistent with the past, and our current experiences.

My main problem is with cache coherency over shared assets. I do think that there is the eternal lock/flock/lockf problem here, along with file timestamps. Microsoft don't have to care about that because they intend almost all interactions to be mediated through them, via APIs which can impose some cohesive behaviours. But, as a general model "all my files are in the cloud" gets really interesting when people have to work disconnected on shared product and then re-attach after e.g. a transatlantic flight offline, to try and re-sync things.

If somebody offered "FreeBSD desktop in the cloud" or "OSX in the cloud" or "Linux in the cloud" as well wrapped up, I'd consider it on it's merits.

Chromebooks are, after all "Google (which is in the cloud) in the cloud" aren't they?

I wonder how this translates in "but I paid $129 for a perpetual licence to word" -yes you did, but alas now you can't use it on this cloud-desktop quite as well as you'd like because.. well we didn't design it to work with your licenced copy of perpetual local-file word.

I'm guessing GP means natively, not in a VM. I've been super grateful for the VM-based method, but I still prefer the native experience like that provided by Crouton[1]. With Crouton being "maintenance-only" now I share GP's hope that a similar thing will be possible and easy.

Well, I agree with your general sentiment to a point, but I would say that in the lexicon of the day, "AI" and "LLM" are not synonymous. LLM's are one (current very popular and useful) approach to AI, but only a VERY casual observer would conflate the two terms as being completely equivalent. To me, it goes without saying that the world of AI is bigger than just LLM's.

But since we're talking about an article in Fortune, maybe it's fair to think of this strictly from a lay-person perspective.

Also, to the extent that it matters, I'm not necessarily saying "build something (completely) different than an LLM". I can picture a world with systems that include LLM's that interoperate with other components that do more of the "world model" and "commonsense reasoning" parts, yielding an aggregate system that does more/better than any of the parts could do in isolation.

How can it be less obvious and still be legal? In my opinion it should be red with orange stripes and say "emergency door open" on it. It already has gotten people killed by how non-obvious it is.
Yeah. I’m willing to bet that the casual “so what if they can’t reach me” crowd don’t have elderly parents, kids, spouses, don’t put themselves in group trip situations where you don’t want to put everyone’s number in your permanent contacts, etc. No it’s pretty much idiocy to basically throw away voice calls because you get a usually obvious junk call now and then.
that's indeed not a sensible worry, but the actual consequences on society of such things are extremely real and already happening, and are something the people involved seem either uninterested in worrying about or actively encouraging.
How about Brandon Sanderson's criticism of Audible? [1]

> If you want details, the current industry standard for a digital product is to pay the creator 70% on a sale. It’s what Steam pays your average creator for a game sale, it’s what Amazon pays on ebooks, it’s what Apple pays for apps downloaded. (And they’re getting heat for taking as much as they are. Rightly so.)

> Audible pays 40%. Almost half. For a frame of reference, most brick-and-mortar stores take around 50% on a retail product. Audible pays indie authors less than a bookstore does, when a bookstore has storefronts, sales staff, and warehousing to deal with.

> I knew things were bad, which is why I wanted to explore other options with the Kickstarter. But I didn’t know HOW bad. Indeed, if indie authors don’t agree to be exclusive to Audible, they get dropped from 40% to a measly 25%. Buying an audiobook through Audible instead of from another site literally costs the author money.

What's worse is if the audio book goes into their subscription service, the author gets paid an even smaller fraction, as it is 25% or 40% of the fractional time on the subscription fee.

Amazon built the system to dominate the market, then used the dominant position to bully creators into a teeny tiny fraction of the profits Amazon makes on the work.

Whether someone is “unable to meaningfully consent” is unknowable, so I don’t put any stock it in at all in these kind of decisions.

I’d say that deciding that question isn’t that important (as described, fine, don’t ban WorldStarHipHop). Rather, I’d zoom out and ask whether a society where poor people brawl for income is a healthy one, and maybe think of some alternatives to do that would be better.

The meaningful difference between these two examples is that Apple is a gatekeeper to the iOS market.

Anybody can spin up a website hosting .mp3s like Audible does. Nobody can publish an app to the iOS App Store without going through Apple (and Apple doesn't allow alternative app stores or sideloading for consumers).
Yeah, it is so obvious that it takes a couple of times to _not_ use the emergency release in the front seats. Even to the point that a warning pops up on the screen telling you to not use the emergency release in order to not damage the door seal (when using the normal door button, a Tesla's windows lower slightly to equalize the air pressure).

That said, I do have serious concerns with the emergency release in the rear seats. It is not at all obvious, even with recent updates[0], and in an accident or case where a rear seat passenger is not physically capable of climbing into the front, I don't know how someone would be able to exit the car.

> He later learned a separate 12-volt battery in his Tesla Model Y died after he opened the door, and he said he was trapped inside on a 100º day for 20 minutes. The low-voltage battery powers what’s inside a Tesla including the doors, computer display, and windows.

I won't speak to the usability of the "emergency latch". But, it certainly sounds odd that there's a separate low-voltage battery in addition to the main battery.

In particular there is no manual door release for the backseat of a Model 3, and the Model Y manual door release is a cable hidden under a access door which is itself hidden under a mat in the rear door pocket [1] (assuming it has one, early model years do not).

A regular backseat passenger will never find the Model Y rear door manual release in the event of a crash without being shown exactly where it is. A regular backseat passenger in a Model 3 must either crawl into the front or break a window to escape.

I do believe the front door release is the same in all models though; which is a regular pull handle around where you would expect a normal door handle to be. Funnily enough, many people mistake it for the actual door release since the door UI is very unintuitive.

I largely agree with this take. But I also largely feel I'm being asked to support, who, exactly?

Note that we aren't pushing for removing the DRM. This is largely about someone wanting you to buy from another place. I can almost believe the DRM angle, but publishing houses have shown they are the far larger driver of that than Audible is. This is why libraries have to have a special license to loan out audio books. They are largely looking to force that in ebooks, even.

Creators as well. Talk to anyone who works in a creative field that isn't programming. They want DRM. They love it. And the reason why is simple: DRM works. It does the job. It doesn't stop all piracy, but it greatly attenuates it allowing the creators to make a buck. I remember discussing this with a writing group in the 90s, when the first e-readers came out. They vastly preferred the DRM-encumbered platforms because they could make money with lower risk of piracy.

And this is why DRM will never go away. Take DRM away, and creators will just stop releasing things digitally. Programmers in general need to learn to suck it up when it comes to things like this. Without DRM, pirates win, creators lose, legitimate audiences lose.
