I think MDM systems enable governments to track quite a bit these days.

I think the real issue probably is somewhere between retaliation and the desire to support a domestic competitor. China has long had a view that it can't be reliant on a foreign company and that's especially true for the tech sector.
FWIW, https://mapcomplete.org exists - I haven't used it much, but iOS users should try it out.
No one does at the moment. The deprecation is on hold, but Chrome has stated that they "will provide at least 6 months between a timeline announcement and any experiments deprecating MV2 features": https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/migrating/mv2-s...
There are a variety of metrics that are tracked and difficult to game. The easiest to explain is rate of rehospitalization. If patients return to the hospital within x months of being treated at a higher rate than other hospitals you face heavy penalties. Then there's survey results and the like, it's not that hard to come up with reasonably objective metrics that are out of providers hands and therefore difficult to game. In the end it's still a competition, if a patient is unhappy with the care they can switch providers.

This is actually the difference between a hacker trying to save the world and someone on his rear end complaining about how the world is.

When I learned this at the age of 20 that I am an adult now and no one can say any longer I am too young, my persona shifted from "tell me what to do" to a "i already know what to do but go ahead and tell me why i shouldn't"
We are not in disagreement here. Bouncing off ideas and thoughts is a good thing.

The way this was phrased was more from the angle "who knows what these guys were thinking; if they can't give me a good reason, no way they will get storage space as I don't trust that they make good decisions on their own".
Having loaded the app, wouldnt it be simpler to have the app show the name of the person on the call to the customer at the top of the screen instead of having to remember to go ‘Privacy & security’ in Settings by tapping your profile in the top left of the Home screen?

Just wait until insurance companies demand access to your cars telemetry for either a "discount" or even to insure you at all.
I'm seriously thinking of stockpiling a few extra used "dumb" cars. This is beyond nuts.
CVSS is a meaningless metric, a Ouija board that will generate whatever severity number the scorer wants it to.
Agree; I make software as a medical device. My point is you often don't have to do that. You just have to fling a lot of paper at an auditor, which can be generated well (as you describe, and as I would do, and the good companies in my example would already do) or badly (which the bad companies in my example would do) where it's basically generated post hoc in a hurry.
I will not be a part of willfully spreading that information. If you're that interested, it's not hard to find
Of course they did, I’m kinda surprised this is news. However the ongoing invasion of ukraine kinda showed everybody that western nations are not just “duped” into following USA, they actually want it - its an alinement of values not of convenience.

Read a very good analysis of this from the acoup blog - https://acoup.blog/2023/07/07/collections-the-status-quo-coa...

Which kinda suggest that things would have moved in a similar direction even without the efforts of USA to shape public opinion.

And to be fair the way they went about it in europe was incredibly conscience, given the position of power they had.
> complaining about price markups as economic illiteracy

I mean, I hate dealer markups as much as the next person, but it is true. It's just supply and demand. Dealers wouldn't charge crazy markups if enough car buyers weren't out there paying them; and like another commenter said, in these supply-limited conditions, if price wasn't able to rise to a market-clearing level, you'd have shortages instead, and people would complain about that.

> rent seeking, deadweight loss and price collusion in oligopolistic conditions

Can the car market, both at the manufacturer level and the dealer level, really be described as an oligopolistic one, outside of isolated examples (e.g. you live in Elko, NV and there's only one Ford dealer within 100 miles)?
This is an established theory in psychology. One model of depression is "learned helplessness". Something about your life has taught your mind and body that it's pointless to try. So literally anything that teaches you that you have agency is a counter to depression.

It's probably best if it's a small thing, to start. I myself had a period where I "learned" agency by teaching myself vim shortcuts.

I have wondered the same thing about exercise. It's a quick hack for learned agency. Very few people feel worse after a modest amount of exercise. Even a walk down to the corner store gets you a change of scenery, an amount of social interaction, and movement. It will improve anybody's day.

Out of interest: Did you receive public healthcare or did you take out a private insurance in those countries you mentioned? I'm especially curious if you were able to receive NHS health care as (I assume) a foreigner?

When you say cheaper do you mean (private) health insurance or directly paying for medical services, or both?
Have any Forklift users here on MacOS tried Double Commander? A two-panel file manager of some kind is a hugely useful productivity tool, I'm just wondering if there's a reason to switch to this one. If not I'll give it a go when I have some free time.

If anyone on MacOS doesn't have a similar tool already you should definitely grab this. A two-panel file manager that supports bulk renaming is really handy.

No, because the facts don't fit the narrative unfortunately.
Not entirely - you could upload a 50/60 frames per second video where every other frame only has half of the lines. It would probably look terrible without the smoothing effect that a phosphorescent display offers, but it would accurately preserve the information to as high a level of precision as you design the recorder's ADC to measure.

I am not surprised. That platform was a neat concept, but wow, the nesting and resource consumption was atrocious. There was potential there, yet the implementation in Java made IMHO some fundamentaly flawed assertions about small objects. I unfortunately know of a great director who had to find new opportunities outside of the company over it.

> we're replacing a paper process with a digital process

It's worth noting that what you seem to be talking about it "replacing a process done on paper with the _same_ process done digitally". If you were actually changing the process, per se, (to one that achieves the same "goal", but is more suited to a digital approach) there would be a lot of unknowns; and a more agile approach would help.

That's not to say one is wrong and the other is right; just that they are two different scopes of work. And, for some situations (government paperwork / regulations), changing the actual process may not be viable.

Sorry you went through this. If you want to make another attempt, I've found that the older I get, the slower ramp up time I need getting back into exercise. Do far less than you're body is able to during the workout when you start. To the point where it feels like you're not stressing yourself at all. Then make a plan to slowly ramp up from that point over 6-10 weeks depending on the shape you're in and age. After that, you can start pushing your body closer to it's limits during any given workout. Also, it will just suck the first 3-4 weeks before you start enjoying it.
I've never really seen the issue with "manual in traffic" -- there's almost always a gear or two that allow you to go a the speed of traffic without tons of shifting. Stop and go? 2nd probably goes from "creep" to "moderate speed"

Anyhow, electric cars are better all around -- at least those with "one pedal driving" where the speed pedal goes all the way to zero or nearly zero.

My dislike of automatics is the indeterminate lag between request for a particular speed and when the car decides to shift to the appropriate gear to get to that speed as quickly as I've indicated I want to get there. Plus with ICE cars there's all sorts of other tedious inertia to contend with around engine RPM and turbo spool state and such. At least a manual provides better determinism around throttle behavior.

This is really odd, I’m Polish and I use Google in both English (80%) and Polish (20%).
It’s been as good as ever. Never noticed anything being off or inaccurate. I don’t understand all the hate.
On the other hand DGG, for example, is barely usable in Polish and quite crappy for English queries as well. I’m comparing those two actively and have been for the last couple of years as I really want to ditch Google, but can’t. It’s still miles ahead of competition.
When I still drove I hated the way I had to keep my foot on the clutch in traffic jams. Or constantly switch to neutral. The clutch on my car was heavy. That's why I got an automatic.

But now I live in a city where I can take the metro to work and I don't own a car anymore. I hope I'll never need to drive again, I hate driving so much.
Ask HN: What is your software/approach to work with text?
Hello HN. When I edit text for publication, I often want to eat a cookie (delete a paragraph) and have a cookie (still somehow see deleted/moved paragraph) and work toward final text. What is your approach (tool you use?) to working with text which allows to some how put pieces of text aside and be able to still see them and reincorporate them if needed. I am thinking beyond tracking changes in Libre/MS Office or using Git.
You can do the same thing in English.

I'd strongly suggest you demonstrate more value before you require auth. I looked at the front page and none of the 3 visible articles grabbed me. So I clicked on "blogs" to see if I found anything interesting there. That gave me the registration wall, so I bounced.

I'm sure that feels unfair given the work you've put in. But registration is a hassle that people don't go through unless they're expecting at least as much value or have built up a more significant relationship with the site. Especially these days, with endless popups asking for my email and registration walls, I'm strongly habituated to close the window when I see that.

In your case it looks like the marginal cost of serving more pages is very low, so I'd make as much as possible public and only require registration for features that need identity. I'd even try letting people vote on articles before registering, as for you that's valuable signal about article quality.

As to what I'd pay for, I'm already a NewsBlur subscriber, so I think there's a market for a personal front-end to blogs, the news, and the like. For me the valuable part is keeping track of the hundreds of niche authors I follow, plus knowing what I've read. The discovery component, which you've foregrounded here, isn't very valuable to me, but might make a nice freebie to draw people in.
The report specifically says Tesla is not the worst btw
I wonder where you're getting all of the blogs from, whether it's just user suggestions or lots of personal favorites. Sounds like a bit of work but I'm glad that people are trying to do that sort of thing and helping others discover more articles!

I built the Hacker News Personal Blogs site a while ago, after people shared their blogs in an Ask HN post and then someone compiled those into an OPML file on GitHub (those that had Atom/RSS feeds): https://hn-blogs.kronis.dev/ The List Of Blogs page might be relevant to discover a few more blogs to add, if anything catches your eye. That site of mine is pretty basic and I just threw it together in a day or two because it felt possible, but I hope that your site actually goes somewhere in comparison!

Also, embedding the blogs inside of iframes is pretty cool, I wonder how common people preventing that with X-Frame-Options or frame-ancestors is. It was actually interesting to see posts from Substack and other sites being captured as screenshots instead, as a workaround.
Reminds me a lot of turning numbers.
Nonsense. US just as badly motivated as China.
While it is true that things don't move fast, there have been proposals to it which have seen some adoption (thinking MONO_BUFFER was implemented by smlnj has compat in mlton). And I recall a proposal from polyml subsequently was implemented in smlnj. I don't know if there actually is a process in place to actually decide to accept proposals into the basis.

One of the things I like about the basis library is it's principled stance that if it doesn't require compiler support, host operating system support, is more efficiently implementable by the compiler than would be with an external library, or has clear proven utility it belongs in a separate library.
This barrier for inclusion is to me at least undoubtedly good.

Personally I would split things apart further (kicking host OS support to a separate library from the basis, as I am inclined towards non-posix hosts where most of the API requiring host support isn't implementable). And kicking out any optional types/modules to separate libraries (where said library is then optional).

So while it is about as minimal a standard library as exists, (for my purposes at least) it sometimes feels like it contains too much. Given there is no language level support for things like conditional compilation of anything optional within the basis. These tend to be my gripes with the basis... not "it needs more things".
Merino wool is specifically recommended for exactly this reason. Everyone who does bike tours swears by it. Wicks sweat really quick, keeps you cool in hot weather, and is extremely resistant to collecting odors even after multiple days of exertion between washes.

"There's no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothing" does have a limit if outside temps hit 35°C (95°F ish) (wet-bulb temp is more relevant but obviously varies by humidity) or higher but there's a lot you can do to mitigate the effects with the right materials.
Physical controls are just inputs to some computer in the car. The risk of a reboot is still there and I'm guessing on many newer cars, the computer the physical controls is wired to is actually the same one that controls the touch screen. This would be needed so you can control the same item via voice/remote app, even if you never use this.
I'll be charitable by assuming that people here are getting defensive by their hero not living up to expectations. Snowden is (justifiably) angry about the US treatment of him and happily amplifies Russian propaganda as some sort of badly considered revenge.

It's a shame that he uses his platform for this, especially as the current propaganda is in support of Russia rolling their tanks across the border and killing thousands of people in Ukraine.
A TV/Streaming queue/schedule - Return to passive, lean-back TV

Do you hate (I do) being in charge of "what to watch tonight" on streaming?

This app would let you put your chosen streaming or broadcast shows (across networks, Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, etc.) in an old-school weekly TV Guide grid.

So, Tuesday we'd watch The Bear then Queer Eye then Prank Panel. Wednesday we'd watch Bake Squad then Star Trek, etc. You could even schedule "movie night" w/ a queue (maybe randomized) of movies on our watch list.

Of course, better than broadcast or a fixed schedule, if you miss Episode S2E6 of in the timeslot you assigned to a show, it would just rollover to its next timeslot.

Even if there's no way easy way to build a universal TV grid that actually plays the shows directly, just having our pre-decided "TV schedule" would save so much hunting and negotiation.
Some of exercise is type 2 fun - https://sketchplanations.com/the-fun-scale

And/or you feel better having done it.
I have to agree, at least to a point. Nine times out of ten a person buying a car doesn't need it right away. Therefore if they don't like the mark-up they can just come back later when the market changes. If everybody did that then demand would go down and then so would the mark-up.
If the underqualified didn't apply, we wouldn't have applicants.

The bar is so low right now, at least in my experience and in my geographic area, this seems like the perfect time to make huge career leaps.
Yeah. I suppose the tricky thing is:

> compared to just giving the DB 250GB of space so this never comes up again?

As long as there is reasonable confidence in that this is actually the case, then just provision the space and be done with it. That requires a certain understanding of future space requirements/expectations, and anything even just so slightly running away / leaking space will hit any limit given enough time. So, due diligence requires looking at whether it's actually needed.
The CVE system is all kinds of messed up.

We need (at least)

- A clear policy from the CNAs that describes exactly which bugs should be assigned CVEs.

- A process by which bogus CVEs can be invalidated, and CVE spammers can be banned from further submissions.

- A way to register CVEs for vulnerabilities that span multiple programs.

- e.g. an HTTP proxy has a low-risk bug, and an HTTP server has a low-risk bug, but when the proxy and the server are deployed together, the bugs become exploitable.

- An appeals process for CVE description updates.

- e.g. You would not know from the description that CVE-2023-34188 is trivially exploitable and can reliably lock up vulnerable servers because MITRE refuses to update it.

If you mean that the turn signal has no sound, you are mistaken. The turn signal has a sound. I have no idea, though, if it sounds when the computer crashes; mine never did.

Unfortunately, a lot of people agree with privacy protection only in theory, but when they're asked to choose between privacy and convenience, all too often the latter wins.

I've meant for a long time to find the component in my car that send data and either remove it or wrap it in aluminum foil or whatever it takes to make it stop phoning home. But you know what? Not doing that is so much more convenient...
Sure it does. Even headphones have controls built in to the cable.
In the UK it’s illegal to touch your phone while driving (with some exceptions around hands free kits and payments). Even for things that are legal, the Highway Code is clear that you do not touch your radio while driving. I’d presume it would take a dim view of playing with other non-critical functions.

So no, just because it’s on your wheel, that doesn’t make it “safe.”
