The cold weather performance is significantly worse, and as somebody who lives in a region with snowy winters I'm tired of the way environmental activists and car manufacturers both seem to be on the same page about pretending this isn't a problem. It also masks a big part of the cost of ownership, since in winter you need to charge a lot more often to drive the same distance as in warmer months. People can plan for shorter range, but they need to know what to realistically expect so they don't end up stranded on the side of the road in winter (this has happened to people I know). I plan to keep at least one ICE vehicle for longer trips and winter use until they are outlawed or we see a revolution in energy tech that makes this a non-issue.
> degradation power wise on a ICE… over 30 years

Yeah, for a Toyota that's owned by an expert car mechanic, who's hobby is doing full engine rebuilds every Tuesday.

Our BMW was a write-off after 12 years.
This is sadly untrue; larger vehicles are safer, and the largest are the safest. Legislation is the only way I can see to stop the vehicle size/weight arms race.

“… Tesla, meanwhile, pursues an impressive figure for its window stickers, and ends up returning real-world results that are on average two times as far off the label value as most EVs.”

https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/tesla-ba...

“One of the experts, Gregory Pannone, co-authored a study of 21 different brands of electric vehicles, published in April by SAE International, an engineering organization. The research found that, on average, the cars fell short of their advertised ranges by 12.5% in highway driving.

The study did not name the brands tested, but Pannone told Reuters that three Tesla models posted the worst performance, falling short of their advertised ranges by an average of 26%.“

Also the part where customers with range complaints were prevented from booking service appointments and a special team was formed to cancel range-related service appointments that lied claiming remote diagnostics showed no problems when they did not run remote diagnostics at all.

You know, the sort of behavior that fine upstanding companies that are not trying to hide problems do.
That's a great point, battery electric cars are heavier than gas cars and so hard to stop them. I can agree with that and I'm an EV proponent. Another thing that makes electric cars potentially more dangerous. They have way more instant acceleration AKA torque.

> If military drones were to become real and as capable as in the video, they would be hard to aquire, maintain, operate and keep hidden.

Couldn't a terrorist load an explosive on a drone and drove it into a music festival or some other open-air large gathering? This is what concerns me personally.

Although long-term (~10 years) I wouldn't bet on more capable weaponised drones being hard to aquire, maintain, or operate.
You’re confusing the CIA with an intelligence agency. It is not now nor has ever been an intelligence agency. There are various other departments that do intelligence. The CIA was founded with the mission of letting the Dulles brothers conduct secret wars, and it remains true to that vision even now. There’s no excuse for it.
I think it's a fair question to ask; what particular qualities of D drew them off the beaten path for this kind of task?

Now, I know the answer as a former D acolyte - it's an interesting language with powerful abstractions, albeit hobbled in some ways - but most people don't, so I think it a reasonable question to ask.
I still don't understand why they put a 3-hour delay on writing to Apple Health though. Any chance you have context on the why behind it?

Kiwifarms, now banned, official twitter page said their goal was “exploitation of the mentally handicapped for amusement purposes”. ( Source: https://archive.is/jYp5p ).

I think Kiwifarms is (borderline) criminal. Null, the admin of the site, outright said he was ok with users posting stolen financial information, such as Social Security Numbers and Credit cards. Source: https://archive.is/0fOcS . There are many examples of private financial information being posted on the site.

I would describe them as operating with a paper thin layer of "plausible" deniability. Officially you aren't allowed to harass or interact with the targets. But even the rule against interacting with "lolcows" (called "cowtipping") is haphazardly enforced. For example, one user tracked down, and had sex with a "lolcow" and even posted photos of this. The admin explicitly said they would allow the content to remain up: https://archive.is/zYnpK#35%
it's definitely a big change in attitude from previous governments (conservative and otherwise) - i still remember Labour trying to introduce mandatory internet censorship a decade ago.

Unfortunately there aren’t any government statistics specifically on high heel mortality, but tripping and falling is certainly a very common cause of death and no doubt high heels contribute to it.
Latanya Sweeney demonstrated how hard it is to anonymize health data back in the late 1990s as part of her dissertation work:

https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2009/09/your-secrets-liv...

"At the time GIC released the data, William Weld, then Governor of Massachusetts, assured the public that GIC had protected patient privacy by deleting identifiers. In response, then-graduate student Sweeney started hunting for the Governor’s hospital records in the GIC data. She knew that Governor Weld resided in Cambridge, Massachusetts, a city of 54,000 residents and seven ZIP codes. For twenty dollars, she purchased the complete voter rolls from the city of Cambridge, a database containing, among other things, the name, address, ZIP code, birth date, and sex of every voter. By combining this data with the GIC records, Sweeney found Governor Weld with ease. Only six people in Cambridge shared his birth date, only three of them men, and of them, only he lived in his ZIP code. In a theatrical flourish, Dr. Sweeney sent the Governor’s health records (which included diagnoses and prescriptions) to his office."

This same article also mentions one of her more famous findings too:
"in 2000, she showed that 87 percent of all Americans could be uniquely identified using only three bits of information: ZIP code, birthdate, and sex."

I mean, that right there is sort of a logic disproof of the concept of omnipotence---"Could God make a rock so heavy He couldn't lift it," etc.

But more seriously imo is the why. Why make yourself less powerful? And any answer to that faces the question: if you're so omnipotent, why not wave your hand and get that good thing without disempowering yourself?

That's how you get almost every regular car to use Diesel like in Germany, which are much cheaper for fuel, but way worse for air quality in cities.

This is a pretty cool project! I am concerned about how reliant this is on my memory and if the keybindings keep changing every once a while, adapting to new ones might actually be time consuming.

This is what I thought while I was learning Vim too, but now I honestly prefer Vim keybindings everywhere. So maybe this is not too bad. I would definitely try out if one can also build a vimtutor like version for this usecase.

Solves problem of being out at a group dinner and figuring out how much you owe the one person who inevitably put their card down. Take a photo of your receipt, it digitizes it in seconds, and gives a link to text to your friends/acquaintances. They open, click what they ordered, it proportionally adds tax and tip. No APP required, nor an account. That would be friction.
> The word SEO “kind of sounds like spam when you say it today,” said Lenssen, in a slightly affected voice. “But that was not how it started.”

That is not my recollection. I was blogging at the time they're talking about, and I think the first time I heard about SEO was in the context of trying to get your site ranked higher than everybody else. I grant that the techniques for early SEO came out of good, semantic-web intentions, but I feel like the time between them being implemented and the time they were misused for personal gain was like 3 minutes, max.
That’s not what this website is for.
I think you’re probably right but it would depend on languages - something statically typed and well defined like rust would be much easier to analyse than something like php which could construct and execute a backdoor dynamically in a very non obvious way. All this depends on code readability and simplicity, which in software which is a complete mess would probably need a sandbox to have at least some level of assurance (I’d prefer to see unreadable apps outright rejected from use, but that opinion won’t fly in the face of the business world).

So in summary, I concede you are right in most, but not all cases.
Yet it uses S3. This is bucketless like AWS Lambda is serverless.

Yeah, I don’t know EV’s or how often it’s intended you replace your battery, but I would feel that 9% just because I hyper focus haha
Well yeah they're big on censorship, but that's not the only form of nannying.
Someone else had the IP assigned, then, or you're behind some sort of NAT with someone else. The ISP very likely holds a record of which device had a particular address assigned at any given time. At where I live, addresses are usually lent for pretty much forever. I have mine for 8 years, unchanged. Even my mobile carrier latches the same address for months even.
Woof. An EV battery produces between 2.5 and 16 metric tons of CO2. About 9% of emissions for a combustion engine vehicle is in the initial manufacturing alone (compared to ~35% for an EV). An EV's battery is by far the most polluting in the process and manufacturing of the battery alone produces more emissions than the entire manufacturing process of an average combustible engine vehicle.

If people are replacing their batteries every 8 years, we _REALLY_ need to optimize our grid and figure out a real solution to recycling EV batteries ASAP
Seriously, when you own the hardware and your hardware and software teams collaborate, this is what you can do. To the point about Nvidia basically tearing down barriers, it’s astonishing not just what they can do with the chips, but at the efficiency they can do it. The next 10 years are going to be wild.
Even just having the gas car "city" and "highway" ranges would be a huge step up! Most EVs get much higher than their rated range in the city and lower on the highway, but most drivers are only concerned with highway range.
I'm sure Oracle nee Cerner would develop Pager Millennium if you asked nicely enough.
Most of what's in these handouts, and much, much else, is just in their heads--at least the part that's relevant to their field, obviously an organic chemist is going to have slightly different things memorized than a geochemist. For things that you have to look up, for decades the first thing you reach for would be the CRC Handbook https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CRC_Handbook_of_Chemistry_and_... although it's on the web now https://hbcp.chemnetbase.com/contents/ContentsSearch.xhtml?d... as well as other reference materials.
MOSTLY UNINFORMED OPINION

A lot of special knowledge is also available within seconds on the internet, but you (solardev) don't know where. Part of being in the bubble is that you know where to find things that are in the bubble.

For an example that comes easily to my mind, a while ago there was an HN thread where someone asked what made a cross-language dictionary (e.g. English-Japanese) good or bad, and I responded with a link to FrameNet ( https://framenet.icsi.berkeley.edu/ ) and the observation that I'd like dictionaries to include information about how to supply relevant semantic roles to the word you're looking up, which they almost never do.

There's nothing stopping anyone else from looking up FrameNet and seeing what it's about. (Though academic papers on frame semantics might be less accessible.) The obstacle is in knowing that it's there in the first place.
I haven't done quite as well. Over 25k miles Teslamate shows 311 Wh/mi average. The car's in the PNW and we put snow tires on it over the winters and have taken more than a few road trips with a box top and/or bike rack. And yeah, we get 80% of rated, which isn't surprising to me. You can look at individual drives and see it do much better (e.g. a steady 50 mph on a rural road at 70F does quite a bit better than average, and that corresponds pretty closely to the EPA test conditions), and a few hilly trips in cold rain which are efficiency disasters.

I don't know what this article is talking about either. It's the Brand People Love to Hate.
I had an Aunt who went blind. She said, "Losing your eyesight makes life more dull."

But she made the best of it and even managed to cook like she used to.

I also took care of my neighbor's blind dog and observed how she gets around.

Here is my advice:

1. She should learn her surroundings of where everything has its general place in her home. She can do this by closing her eyes and learning where everything is.

2. Keeping things to a particular pattern helps, such as top shelf, left cabinet contains all the cups, the shelf above it contains all the bowls, etc.

3. Enable the reader on her laptop and let her get used to using it and assisting her.

4. Start now because it takes time -- get her a trained seeing eye dog who will help her get around a lot better.

5. When it comes to hygiene, and surroundings, she needs to learn her bathroom including the location of everything, how to wash, etc.

6. She should start learning braille.

7. There are things called "blind tags" or "blind safety tags" that "feel" like different patterns or even contain braille that you can put on things so she can "feel" her surroundings.

8. Get her a walking cane so she can start learning how to use it.

Hope some of these might be helpful or give ideas.
Not without a significant amount of money. Also to get something out of the way, anyone who would "quit" because their employer mandated RTO is an idiot. Let them fire you and collect unemployment.

I moved from SF to Utah in ~2018, and managed to buy a few rental properties since then, and despite my "income" not keeping pace with my peers in the city my wealth is exceeding them. So the first thing is, the money argument is holding less water every day that goes by.

Second, say I went back for more income. The city is not the same city that I left, in fact it's gotten much worse. Why would I want to live in a place where you wake up to sirens, human feces, a government that hates you, and wants to extract every dollar for their failed social experiments? Especially during COVID when they decided to take any shred of trust I had left, set it on fire, and then threw lighter fluid on it.

So my answer is somewhere between "Hell No" and "Maybe for a wheelbarrow full of cash"
Hospitals are under zero potential HIPAA liability for sharing information internally for the purposes of providing care. It's expressly permitted by the law, without any authorization required.

https://www.hhs.gov/hipaa/for-professionals/privacy/laws-reg...

> Permitted Uses and Disclosures. A covered entity is permitted, but not required, to use and disclose protected health information, without an individual's authorization, for the following purposes or situations: (1) To the Individual (unless required for access or accounting of disclosures); (2) Treatment, Payment, and Health Care Operations; (3) Opportunity to Agree or Object; (4) Incident to an otherwise permitted use and disclosure; (5) Public Interest and Benefit Activities; and (6) Limited Data Set for the purposes of research, public health or health care operations.18 Covered entities may rely on professional ethics and best judgments in deciding which of these permissive uses and disclosures to make.

The thing you sign all the time is acknowledging receipt of the provider's privacy practices. It's an entirely different thing; it is by no means a waiver of any rights. https://www.hhs.gov/hipaa/for-professionals/faq/notice-of-pr...

> Yes. The HIPAA Privacy Rule requires that a covered health care provider with a direct treatment relationship with individuals make a good faith effort to obtain written acknowledgments from those individuals that they have received the provider’s notice, regardless of whether the provider also chooses to obtain the individuals’ consent.

You can refuse to sign that. They'll document the refusal, which changes nothing. It's like your Miranda rights when you get arrested; they tried to inform you of your rights under HIPAA. https://www.hhs.gov/hipaa/for-professionals/privacy/guidance...
SV does reject con artists, it's just that con artists love to fake associate themselves with SV and then people who don't know any better believe that the con artists are real because of that fake association.

(If you define 'SV' to mean only the major companies, VC firms, and big decision makers actually HQed in SV.)

This isn't a solvable problem, while still remaining a somewhat free country, since roughly half the population will always be below average in sniffing out dupes. So some fraction of con artists will always be able to succeed in duping some folks.

Of course there are a lot of SV entry level and middle management types that go bad since even a 2% corruption rate means thousands of people per annum at SV scale.
Guaranteed is untrue, I agree, that statement was a tad too bold (too bad its tattooed on HN without being able to nuance it).

In a lifetime? Potentially enough yes to not opt for such. Tho there is different size and place, I'd say the main issue is with ones which end up practically 24/7 public.

If I look at my own life, then in every situation a t-shirt or sweater with statement or brand would make more sense than a tattoo. These can translate a meaning just as well, but allow to switch based on social setting. Which very much changes throughout life.

Religious, political, romantic, hobby, passion statements are fluctuating within a person's life. Just in different likeliness. Even when one believes they don't.

So Alice thinks Bob is the one, and Alice gets a Bob tattoo. After all they're 12,5 years together, must be enough for forever? And she had an Aum from her youth, and a logo of her favorite band, Nirvana. 10 years later, Bob dies in a car accident. Alice meets Charlie, a Catholic. Alice eventually wants to replace her Bob tattoo with a Charlie tattoo, and resents her Hindu passion. She refined her music taste. Charlie loses Catholicism as Alice isn't Catholic. However, since he worn a cross necklace, no tattoo has to be removed. Regarding Nirvana? Ah, turns out Kurt Cobain did some #metoo stuff which got finally uncovered. There goes your idol. So yes even things seemingly non-volatile and stable can change. And thoughout a lifetime, its very likely they will.

Same with biohacking NFC chips under your skin. In 10 years vulnerabilities are found in the chips or the keypair doesn't fit anymore or they figure they can be compelled to authenticate (robbery, law enforcement).

My wife has a tattoo and had a piercing, I had a piercing. We both regret the piercings (hers was nipple, mine was eyebrow) cause of complications. The tattoo seems more silly to me though, though only visible to public in swimming pool.

You see, we're in such a quick pace and globalization has succeeded there isn't much we can take for granted in our lifetimes.

The job tattoo thingy is just an example. And since I have needle phobia I'd say no thank you with that as reasoning first and foremost. (The observant reader might notice a person with needle phobia having received a piercing in past. I did not realize I would need anesthesia via a syringe; I thought some kind of patch on skin would've been suffice. I didn't look into it enough. So I panicked and literally ran out of the shop and would not get my money back, so I bitten the bullet. Don't think I had to pay extra so I suppose that was nice. The severity can also differ a bit and for medical related I've used oxazepam with success recently. Tho I recognize its addictive nature and hence would prefer not to regularly use such.)
Yes, but decreased range only matters on long trips (like the one I describe), and the only thing it does it make you have to charge more frequently. I described how much that would actually matter on a real trip.

As for your second sentence, the entire point of this article was that that's not true.

Not a professional chemist (by any stretch of the imagination), but for several of these, it's as much in their heads as "what are the keywords in C?" is for C programmers. For at least some of these well, too, software exists already to do things like draw molecules [1]. Databases also exist to do things like find known properties (spectra, physical properties like melting point) for known chemicals.

[1] I guarantee every molecule drawn on the page was drawn with ChemDraw or similar tool.
