I mostly agree with what you've written, but I don't think this is completely reasonable:

> If you disagree, but are too lazy to explain why, that is very lame.

I'll agree that generally it would be better for the community to explain the disagreement if nobody else has done it already, but we're allowed to be lazy if we want (and if it isn't in a way that actively worsens the site), or to just be too busy and needing to move on rather than dive into writing a potentially long comment. And in either of those cases, you could choose to therefore not downvote since you're not going to comment, but surely giving the downvote is still contributing slightly in a helpful way by sending the "a person disagrees" signal to HN's comment sorting algo, so I think it's fine to do that as a lazy option even though not as good as taking the non-lazy route!
Advocating against yourself. Lack of freedom is a grand cause of the world we live in today - revoking more of it is how you end up on the wrong side of that.
Are there any regulatory concerns with using hydrogen as the lifting gas, and if so, how do you plan to address them? A few years ago I was involved with an R&D contract bid looking at unmanned airships for communication, and one of the takeaways we found was that hydrogen is actually prohibited as a lifting gas here in Canada [1]. Presumably, the regulations were written before remotely operated or autonomous airships were envisioned, but even so we opted to baseline helium to avoid the risk of a waiver being denied. I assume other countries have similar airworthiness rules.

Yes, but which option you check doesn't change which hardware you car comes with.

The HW3 situation was Tesla updating the hardware for people who both bought an older car and paid for the FSD "preorder" package, since they later determined that the computer shipped in those older cars was not enough for upcoming functionality, despite saying in 2016 that all of their cars had the hardware necessary for Level 5 Self-Driving.

https://www.tesla.com/blog/all-tesla-cars-being-produced-now...

> Tesla CEO Elon Musk says the new hardware will support Level 5 autonomy, which means the cars can drive themselves completely. However, Tesla will not enable full self-driving immediately. Instead, Musk says the company will roll out features to enhance safety and assist drivers, eventually leading to full autonomy.

https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/elon-musk-says-all-tesla-...

So they've been selling a product called "Full Self Driving" since 2016, and also claiming along the way that the current hardware in the car is capable of "Full Self Driving" in the future, pending safety testing and regulatory approval.

They also have a marketing video that says "The person in the driver's seat is only there for legal reasons. The car is driving itself" that has also been up since 2016:

Scott Meyers was the go-to reference for "expert" C++ knowledge for over twenty years, he retired after his C++14 books came out and a mere two years later he couldn't even keep up with the language to make technical corrections.

C++ is a large, intricate language with features that interact in complex and subtle ways, and I no longer trust myself to keep all the relevant facts in mind. As a result, all I can do is thank you for your bug report, because I no longer plan to update my books to incorporate technical corrections. Lacking the ability to fairly evaluate whether a bug report is valid, I think this is the only responsible course of action.

Exactly, but using a different set of syntax, plus a new ruleset of capture semantics. The capture syntax especially is a minefield. And are the runtime guarantees exactly the same as that of a local class instance?

The question is - what does this extra complexity buy us? Is it worth it?
One of my Mothers-in-Law has macular degeneration. Her vision in the time I've known her (about 7 years) had declined significantly. (She's now about 77.) She could drive during the day in good conditions locally a few years ago but has given up driving entirely in the past 18 months.

She still has some vision but would be legally blind at this point, I believe.

A few years ago we bought her an iPad which has some assistive technologies (e.g., magnifier) that she says have helped her immensely. (She has an Android and prefers that but the iPad has been the best option for a tablet.) I realize "buy an iPad" is pretty basic, but it really seems to have made a difference.

She also uses an app that magnifies print, etc., via the iPad camera. We also got a "3-in-1 craft lamp" that has a clamp, light, and magnifying glass with a light[1]. (Can be mounted in 3 ways as well.)

Start trialing and introducing assistive technologies now before the need is more profound.

>Then, when the first problems arise, you realize that by using a lambda instead of just an in-place class to capture the context, which you can reason using the same bysantine set of rules, you actually need to grok a whole new set of rules on top of that

No, I don't agree at all. Unless the callee accepts an std::function, passing a lambda is exactly equivalent to passing an ad hoc functor. There's no problem you'll run into with one that you wouldn't have run into with the other.
IMO, Jaeger is easier to setup/manage and has a better interface than Grafana/Tempo. It's easy to add Jaeger to your local dev stack so you can have tracing while developing.

FWIW I now use Tempo because I have everything else in Grafana (Prometheus, Loki), but I do miss using Jaeger.

Can you give examples of how Laravel is playing catch-up in these regards? Backend/front-end integration is very well done with Livewire/Inertia. Simplicity while providing batteries is a given, but even more so with some of the starter kits. And honestly, I’ve been quite impressed with all the high quality, Laravel-specific packages out there (looking at you, Spatie).

I’ll definitely give you non-web usage and most of language features (even though PHP nowadays has first class type support, which can’t be said of Rails, unfortunately). And yes, concurrency is all but absent.

Apart from RoR, I haven’t used much else in the full stack framework space, so I’d love to hear!

France and the UK got their own nukes. The rest of NATO got American nukes.

And many NATO countries have pretty advanced militaries. Not large ones in absolute numbers, because they're not large countries, but absolutely more advanced than most non-NATO countries with very few exceptions (like Sweden).

My point, however, is about your claim that all of this somehow subsidised social programs. Those social programs exist independently from US protection. Nobody denies that the US guaranteed the freedom of western Europe (and many other countries around the world). But that and social programs are two completely separate things.

The Pixel 6 and Pixel 7 apparently does have the hardware/software needed for Suica, even on non-Japanese editions of the phone.

However, it's blocked by Google in software depending on the device SKU (maybe because Google doesn't want to pay licensing costs?). If you have a rooted Android phone, you could bypass this check, see https://github.com/kormax/osaifu-keitai-google-pixel.

Hopefully it means that a future version of the Pixel will officially support it world-wide, but who knows. Japan has one of the highest rates of iPhone usage in the world, so there's not much incentive to support Android users.
Sadly, many town agencies (my town included) are pretty bad with technology. For example, my town has official website with "calendar" and "news" sections, but it has much less info than Twitter feeds, especially for urgent events like "unexpected street closure". And police department almost never uses that website.

I have no definite knowledge, but I suspect that city hall wants to control what appears in resources they own.. and as a result, other agencies found it easier to make an account on Twitter rather than deal with town's commnication manager.
One thing I like about Hacker News is that there is very little of that BS.

Mastodon loses the right wing trolls (although I hear there are a handful of widely blocked servers) but has the minus that it does have a subculture of people who normalize othering and dehumanizing behavior in each other.

It also has a large "silent majority" of nice folks but the effects of chronological feed + boosting amplifies a loud minority beyond their actual numbers.
Hillbillies != southern.

I can see how people would see surface similarities, i.e., conservative, pickup truck driving yeehaws. But southern Ohio is not Southern. In fact, as a native of southern Ohio, I'd like to point out that traveling to Mississippi or Georgia is a pretty big culture shock to me. Whereas Michigan, Pennsylvania, or Wisconsin feels like home (especially food wise).

Southern Ohio is still decidedly "Midwestern". No matter how much other Midwesterners try to be rid of it.

That's a very cool project! I am a hot-air balloon pilot and I love everything that flies with the lighter-than-air principle.

One limitation I could see for your business model is that airships can only be flown in a controlled direction at rather slow wind speeds. That is because they just have such a huge attack surface and the motors have limited thrust.

Did you do an estimate how many days per year you could fly your vehicle in a given economic area of interest? I fly balloons in Switzerland and I think you can get at most 100 days of good flight conditions a year. But yeah, with some climate data and your operational limitations you can probably estimate how many days you get in a given area...

Not saying you're wrong. I'm saying the industry needs a better model for open source investment. The "tough shit, making money is your problem" view is not great, but the "open source until we're essential, then rug pull" is also terrible.

Most probably no.

First, let's assume that perfect law-abiding, self-driving cars exist. One one hand they would eliminate incidents caused by inattentive driving, on the other hand they would in fact create incidents where attentive driver in the right of way would yield for an inattentive driver. Change in total incidents would depend on proportion of these events. Anecdotal evidence is anecdotal, but in my own experience number of incidents I have avoided simply yielding when having right of way is much higher then the number of incidents I have gotten into due to my own mistake.

Second, actual "self driving" cars are far from that, especially in their interaction with other drivers.

Third, there second order effects. E.g. a car quickly, unexpectedly maneuvering could cause other car to break sharp, which could end up in an accident where the original car is not even involved. With an increase of cars behaving differently than the local custom such accidents are bound to happen.

Most probably we are going to see an increase in the number of accidents with proliferation of semi-autonomous vehicles before that number starts to dwindle.

If parents “help” kids with homework, the teacher will get a misleading view of what the kid has learned and is capable of. Other kids, lacking this “help”, will get worse grades.

If you want to argue that the teacher understands that parents are helping their kids with the homework, then:

1. Why aren’t teachers sending study aids, pedagogical material, etc. to the parents, on order to aid in the further education of the kids? Why are teachers universally acting as though kids are supposed to do the homework on their own?

2. This would still only help kids with rich parent who can afford the time to be a part-time teacher to their kids.

In summary: If teachers assume that kids do all their homework themselves, unassisted, then “helping” is (culturally normalized) cheating. If teachers instead assume that kids get help from their parents, it would be burdening kids with poor and/or busy parents with a severe disadvantage.

One of the reasons it isn't done is the QC problem. If you have a 10% rejection rate on 20 parts, 18 parts will pass. If they were all one mega-part, the whole casting has to be rejected. You then add in repairability issues and no flexibility to accommodate other types of manufacturing variability (errors, fit) and your savings from a single casting can become a big deficit instead.

Sadly the reason this bad casting was shipped to a customer is probably because they are not achieving the desired pass rate so they knowingly wave through defective castings.

So your belief is that being infected with COVID is entirely uncorrelated with having COVID symptoms?

Even if there were a minor correlation, then you can infer some information from the trials.

I'm not also suggesting that what you describe isn't part of the story, but there is no reason to believe it's a major part of the story. Viral infections lead to symptoms (most of the time). The vaccine is not a magic totem that allows for massive amounts of viral replication while just taking away the symptoms. That isn't how the immune system works.
IMO batteries need to be standardized, documented, training and parts available and certification programs for repair. I should be able to take my battery to a certified technician/shop and have it serviced (bad cells replaced, battery management board replaced) without having to worry about it.

This is incorrect. IPv6 network routing prefixes are not an "abstract" concept. They are effectively the same PII as an IPv4 address. You can identify a user by their routing prefix, much like you can identify a user by their IPv4 address. All of their devices will have IPv6 addresses from their unique prefix much like all of their devices will have the same unique IPv4 address if they're using NAT.
