I never claimed copyright law is uniform in all jurisdictions worldwide, nor was that implied.

What on earth are you even talking about?

Regardless, you can invalidate anything. EG, one can make a claim "Hey, that manufacturing process is my trade secret!", and that claim can most certainly be invalided. It can also be validated.
In some countries it doesn't make sense to transition to higher positions because the taxation will eat up a large chunk of the salary increase, so you end up with significant increases in workload/responsibility but only a slight increase in net pay.
Anyone know more about robot assist systems in general? Are there similar systems for performing delicate assembly operations on a production line? (Non medical)

The die binders that I used to use had physical motion reduction systems - are there more general versions of these available?
Corp robotics aside - any of this kind of tech needs to 100% have the ability to get out of the way.

By robotic control. Bu human control. Or by being pushed.

90 seconds before ambulance moves is not long at all. Quite fast actually. I’ve seen it be longer for things with an MOI that requires ambulance to landing zone for helicopter transport. With helis waiting.

The people in this thread simping for the tech while armchair qb’ing the first responders really sadden me.

I have, personally, smashed windows, popped cars into neutral, and pushed them out of the way. It happens. That’s what insurance is for.

This new tech needs to prioritize getting the heck out of the way - for any and all emergency vehicles. Even in odd places, like when we have to drive on the wrong side of the road, or on a lawn, etc.
"Cash is trash." That's a saying on Wall Street urging people to put cash in equities. When viewing cash in isolation, it's tempting to conclude that holding cash is bad due to inflation. However, cash needs to be seen in contrasting with other investment vehicles.

It's true that cash is losing 7% annually due to inflation. But at a time when stocks are losing 50% and bonds are losing 20% due to raising rate, losing 7% is a good deal. When everything is losing value, the one losing the least is a good investment.

Since you can't predict the market to move cash in and out of the market, holding 25% cash and rebalance periodically doesn't sound too absurd.
This is getting way off topic, but the appendix may have an important role as a refuge for the gut microbiome: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3551545/#:~:tex....
Well, the land/ocean flux numbers for the "Yearly Absorption of Human-Induced Gross CO2 Emissions" have quite large error bars in the literature.

Always gets political. It’s humans. We’re doing it. No question about that. Less humans will mitigate it. No question. The conversation always goes to which humans or which political faction. Start with the fact that it’s us. It is us.
Maybe I misunderstood, this tries to find RSS feeds from sites, not generate RSS feeds for sites that don't have them, right?

I've been using RSSPreview addon on Firefox for a couple years to perform this, but I really see the value of a Web service to do this anywhere. Kudos!
We're talking in circles, so I suppose we'll have to agree to disagree.
You should probably read the sources you post. Right from #1: "For instance, despite being listed as number 12 compared to Texas' 40th spot, the average Californian paid $9,612 in taxes compared to the average Texan's $8,006. Even more dramatically, despite being only three spots below Texas, New Jersey residents paid $12,652."

It's also not relevant to the commenters on this site. People who move to TX from CA tend to be young, high-income, childless, and less likely to own a home. If some combination of those applies to you, the 0% income tax and lower sales tax massively lower your burden.
As someone who has been to nearly all 50 states I’m going to have to disagree. California CAN be nice, but overall is overrated and most definitely not the “best”.

Even under the understanding that each state has its own advantages and disadvantages, California still does not top out in a simple ranked list imo.
“Surgeon removes tumor using current best practices” doesn’t sound so exciting, but is actually more amazing. These devices have made some hard surgeries much more doable.
>What an amazing world we live in.

The kind of amazing where untold millions of people can't afford basic healthcare in the same country that we have a robot surgeon?
> Yes, a professional stunt pilot should pay more than someone with a 9 to 5 desk job.

> Yes, someone living in a high risk of car break-ins should pay more for auto insurance.

> Yes, someone living in a low-lying area next to the beach in a place known for hurricanes should pay more for flood insurance than someone living in Colorado.

> What we shouldn't do is charge people more for being of a certain race or gender.

That's a very convenient way to contrast, but where do we draw the line?

For example, should people with genetic diseases pay more? If yes, then how is that different from discriminating race or gender (which are also part of genetics and may affect the risks)? And if not - then why not? Is the reasoning consistent with all the other scenarios you've listed?

Regardless, even if we did agree on a line in the sand, then insurance itself becomes just a class-based amortizer. Rich, fit, genetically lucky people in good neighbors collectively pay less, while the poor, unfit, genetically unlucky people in bad neighbors collectively pay more. Then you might as well not have insurance at all.

> A Cruise spokesperson said the company offered to share video footage with San Francisco officials. As of Saturday morning, Cruise said, city officials had not reviewed the footage. It was unclear why.

They offered to share it with the city officials, apparently. There’s no strange smell in the fact that they didn’t decide to share it with the general public.

I mean, for all we know it might show the emergency services making an error in the heat of the moment and they might be holding it back to preserve their relationship with the city. (I’m not saying this is likely, just saying there are plenty of reasons that holding the video might be more tactful than nefarious).

I don't quite know how to understand someone who spent "Forty years campaigning for cycle paths" but says:

> If I had my way, they would never have been invented, and today the population would be biking around the streets of Paris like it was Amsterdam in the '70s

1970s Amsterdam was the low-point in biking in that city. "The share of trips made by bicycle in Amsterdam plunged from 80% to 20% between the 1950s and 70s" https://www.theguardian.com/cities/2015/may/05/amsterdam-bic...

1970s is when the "Stop de Kindermoord" protest movement started in the Netherlands, because drivers were killing too many children.
In this case, it's about a "inoperable tumor" so I'm guessing a human hand wouldn't be able to do it at all. That's what makes this particular case more amazing.
I mean, that’s about as facile a claim as can be made. Sounds great in theory but in reality people working in print media don’t exactly have an expanding field full of opportunities for work.
I think we have more than enough data points around the globe to say that the temperature increase is statistically significant. Rural USA is not the center of the world where all temperature measurements should be based on.
Hacker News represents some of the brightest minds in the US. If the climate change denial is so widespread here there is absolutely no hope for the US.

The rest of the world needs to be far more aggressive. Selectively sanction US states that elect climate change denying politicians.
I think it's the lack of examples. Also, because this is very cutting edge, I'd like to know a bit of the technology behind it to know the strengths and limits. E.g. is it based on hard Coded grammar and thus a bit stiff and dumb? Or is it llm based and therefore with data control issues?

It would also be nice to see examples of what it can do. Again, if it's hard Coded grammar it would be nice to see the complexity it can handle, if llm, the lengths the token limits can manage
> What feels wrong about it?

I guess the best way I can articulate it, is that suddenly I have this additional dependency that needs monetary investment.

If the price or my financial situation changes in the future, it might get harder to justify that investment. All of the sudden, I might not be able to share single click project run profiles or information about workflows with anyone who hasn't made that investment like I have (and are using something else).

For some software, the company going under might also mean the package disappearing, as opposed to the community (at least sometimes) taking over. In some cases, there might also be changes that are done behind closed doors, that I don't really have much of a voice in making or even changing on my own accord.

The closest analogy I can come up with is opting for Windows Server as opposed to Debian, the latter of which is free, open and abundant to the point of being available pretty much anywhere and will most likely remain so for a long time. Not that there's anything wrong with Windows Server, but with Debian there are few concerns when opting for it.

That said, as far as IDEs go, JetBrains have done a good job and pretty much everything right (if I'm not mistaken, even if you stop your subscription, you can still use the version you have, just not the latest releases). Coming from a Java background, their offerings are also better than NetBeans and Eclipse, at least in my eyes. And having Rider be available on many platforms is also great, since I'm not exactly going to be running Visual Studio on Linux, yet like a consistent experience across OSes (MonoDevelop was a little bit niche).

Overall, I feel like me giving them money is a good choice, but still can't shake that gut feeling about commercial software. Then again, I also pay for GitKraken, for similar reasons and that also feels fully justified. I might also pay for MobaXTerm in the near future, because if you're ever on Windows, that thing feels like it manages SSH connections and does other stuff (SFTP, VNC/RDP) better than many of the solutions on Linux distros currently do (e.g. Remmina).
> You don't come here because it's easy and things just work.

Partially.

It's doesn't work inside Germany, but it's much easier to get into Germany than the U.S. or other countries.

And they need that, the huge language disadvantage needs to be countered somehow, which they are doing on the invitation front, but not enough inside Germany.

And since these people aren't in the voting base, their issues don't matter at all to the government or the candidates.

It also doesn't help that socialist Taxes aren't exactly popular with high performers, the people Germany and other countries are competing for.

There are real issues and unknowns here, you are right - but you also have to maintain perspective and scale.

The rare minerals and metals we are using to drive the transition are not being combusted into the atmosphere like gasoline additives are: when EV batteries wear out the lithium is right there ready to be recycled; it’s not a consumable.

Yes, EVs are heavier, yes their tires give off more particulates as a result, yea that is a problem. But EVs overall give off way, way, way fewer particulate emissions overall by replacing brake pad use with regenerative braking and by not combusting carbohydrates and pumping the residue out their tailpipes.

The things you list are not mutually exclusive: Reducing car use, replacing ICEs with EVs, replacing fossil fuels with electro fuels etc is an “all of the above” choice
Great post. There is definitely something hard to articulate but absolutely life-changing about my mental state moving from the US to Taiwan. The complete lack of worry about all the things mentioned in this post (physical safety, personal property, transportation, etc) alleviates a burden I never knew was there until it was gone. Here it's completely normal for people to leave their phones or wallets unattended on a cafe table to claim a seat. And I don't worry about whether my front door was locked or about fumbling with cash in public.

For me, I never _consciously_ worried about these things much in the US but in the back of my mind it was always there. Every time I went out. I didn't realize the tension that it built up until I left.
And that was a reasonable prediction at that time. Since than climate models have improved significantly, computing power has increased by several orders of magnitude, and policies and technology has changed—both as a response to the climate crises, and as technology and infrastructure improves around the world.

Today’s models predict 1.5°-2.0° C by 2040, and 4° C by 2100 if no additional climate mitigations (not even promised or pledged) are implemented. The 4° C scenario is generally regarded as unrealistic so most climate models have another prediction which accounts for some additional climate mitigation which most countries have promised and pledged and put the increase at 2°-3° in 2100.

Graphs of what? CO2 concentration when the initial was never 0, except for when Earth had no atmosphere? Average temperature when a 0 would be an ice age? The "change" graphs start from 0, and that's what matters.
Idiotic hit piece. They did this because the infrastructure wasn’t there yet. Otherwise it would make zero sense as diesel is many times more expensive than grid power. As soon as grid power is available the diesel would be shut down.

Sometimes you have to do weird and seemingly silly things when you are doing something new. For some reason this reminds me of early server farms for web services in the late 1990s that had PS/2 mice hanging off the back of every server to allow them to boot properly. Silly example but shows the principle.

Lots of dumb anti-EV hit pieces lately. Oil and ICE industries must be worried.

Of course now lefties are piling on since Elon started huffing the same brand of glue as Tucker Carlson.

Osprey makes great stuff. Pretty much the only thing I'd buy any more.
I actually bought this dictionary on the basis of this blog post. (You can find reprints from Christian schooling websites, who want to preserve proper "biblical" English as it was taught centuries ago.) The dictionary is great, but it doesn't have the same definitions as in the article. For example 'sport' is not defined as 'a diversion of the field'. YMMV.
A fellow IRC lurker lives near Austin and we often compared outdoor temps this summer whenever he was complaining about the heat.

Despite my being in the California hi-desert by JTNP, he was often hotter - with more humidity on top of it.

There's definitely a hype bubble surrounding Austin blinding people to the realities of living in the region.

I don't think Bible follow that pattern all that much either. It is years since I read the actual Bible, but from what I remember it is not an epic nor a myth nor something like that.

The good vs evil simplification is solidly something rooted in Christianity and Catholic tradition I am agree with that. Just not that straigfordly from Bible.
You don't have to rise the ranks. I'm still debating if I should go for a 'senior' role. I've been programming for over 20 years. I was a "senior" in my last job but now I'm just a regular SWE. I get paid well enough and I get enough respect. Do I need more stress/responsibility? Probably not. Mostly I just don't want more pointless meetings.
Yes, but it's the most precious lives. The lives of those who can afford it.
True, although landlords absolutely pass the cost of property taxes onto renters when they can and this was certainly true in Austin.
Might simply be the new normal in all US cities then. Though more terrifying when it's someone doing it in a larger vehicle.

Please don't recommend people take Xanax recreationally. Benzodiazepines are fraught with danger. It is not something to take lightly. Your experiences are not universalizable. I appreciate your insight, and I'm glad you've found substances you enjoy. But please refrain from engaging in drug exceptionalism. The first and foremost consideration of engaging in a substance ought to be harm reduction. This is not one of those "iykyk, yk" situations, in my humble opinion.

Also, fun aside: DMT may have interesting anabolic effects. I quite enjoy vaping DMT while working out. It helps me engage my muscles and mind more fully, and safely, in bodyweight non-ballistic exercises.

I hope you have a wonderful day, fellow seeker.
> It can and should be done without sacrificing comfort ... How about less cars
... Let's do away with golf lawns and pools ... You and I don't really need all these gadgets

You went straight from "we don't have to lose anything" to "except of course for cars, lawns, pools and technology in general" apparently without noticing the contradiction. This is a good example of why degrowth advocates have no credibility and always come across as anti-civilization Amish wannabees.

There is no such thing as degrowth outside of recessions and wars. If you want to reduce your own consumption, do so! The rest of us who believe in material progress will increase ours to make up for it.

Escooters are amazing, convenient and IMO roughly as safe as bikes (a little harder to control but usually slower). I own and ride one in an European capital without issues.

Rental scooters, on the other hand, are basically drunken-tourist-wagens, usually ridden without safety equipment, any semblance of skill or care, on sidewalks and often by two people (which is IMO absolutely fucking insane).

There is nothing inherently more dangerous about rental e-scooters than about rental bikes, other than that rental bikes are much less used by tourists, and much more used for commuting by the locals. The idea behind this and other bans is that people were tired of the tourist shit, and the rental companies literally didn’t care at all. A helmet mandate would be easy to implement. Overweight protection (two people) would be easy to implement. Reducing the speed in the city center or during the rush hour or detecting all kinds of dangerous states (driving at full speed on cobblestone) would be easy to implement, but the rental companies didn’t care at all and now they’re getting kicked out. Good riddance I say.
1) it took 90s to prepare for transport before being able to move. This is fast but also standard.

2) If you are in the car, and I as a firefighter enter, I am going to announce that and your opinion doesn’t matter. I am moving it for safetys sake. I will be safe, kind, and take your safety into consideration. But that you will be late to work does not enter.

3+4) I have extricated patients, in massive accidents, alive when I package them on the stretcher, and then only hear they died later. It fucking sucks. Was it me not getting that roof popped, or door opened fast enough? Was it the amb? Traffic? Was it the taxi who refused to move?

It sticks with you. It’s a hard part of the job.
Electric cars vastly reduce the environmental impact of cars. Everyone who's run the numbers agrees on this [1][2][3]. Battery vehicles aren't that much heavier than gasoline vehicles, and the volume of metals needed to make a battery is a tiny fraction of the volume of oil needed to fuel a car across its lifecycle. Power plants are much more efficient than small engines in cars, and as the grid decarbonizes the emissions of battery electric vehicles move towards zero. Electric cars really are far better for the planet than burning gas, there isn't a catch.

I get the worries, Lithium mining causes ecological damage, but every sort of resource extraction causes ecological damage. Every kilogram of pollution generated from lithium mining prevents many times more pollution generated from oil extraction and emissions. Lithium, cobalt, and the rest aren't exotic materials, the battery industry is huge and has many decades of experience building batteries.

Synthesizing hydrocarbons is an important technology. But that process is incredibly energy intensive, and it's much more efficient to use electricity to just charge a battery. The scale of production of synthetic hydrocarbons isn't anywhere close to where it would need to be to make a dent in climate change. I think that electrofuels will be very important in aviation - they're the only apparent pathway to run jet engines without emissions. But it will be a long time, if ever, before that technology is mature enough to fuel passenger vehicles at a meaningful scale.

Great decision.
It is seriously worrisome.

Perfect storms like this don't come around many times in a century and when they do you can have massive fall out. It's pretty weird how we are both on the cusp of massive progress and potentially a massive setback at the same time. I don't recall that being so prominently the case as long as I've been alive.
There is no way this world exists without an authoritarian global government.

Have you analyzed the impact of the total elimination of 4 car garages, golf courses, "trinkets", and enforced 5-year upgrades on devices? do those rank among the highest-impact against climate change, or do you just not like them very much?

Do you expect that the people who would have the authority to make and enforce these decisions agree with you about which things are important or not, and have also done the cost-benefit analyses correctly and in good faith?

And they're resistant to buy-off by the industries that have the most to lose under a degrowth paradigm?
