How do you explain Japan also mandating this? As I recall, South Korea, India, Australia, and several other nations have also been calling for Apple to open up iOS as well.
AI might also invent sonic showers, or teleportation to beam the dirt away.

The lack of AI isn’t what’s holding back your dream of a temperature controlled shower in every house.
Right now it’s not scary at all. If anything I’m impressed by the city’s drainage systems because this morning was an absolute horror show in my area of Brooklyn.

IMO the bigger story from this particular storm is the lack of preparation by the Mayor’s office. We heard very little about the oncoming storm from government sources. Declaring a state of emergency is all very well but it’s (literally!) pretty late in the day.
E-bikes are the most energy efficient forms of transportation. The problem isn't e-bikes. If anything making e-bikes more ubiquitous would be a good thing since it would lead to better dedicated infrastructure for cycles as well as more cycling training in everyday life.
For a different definition of "fine." The problem with the steep hill and brakes for anyone will be losing control from either panic or over application.

Especially on a bicycle where you have a passenger onboard, high speeds are just best avoided.
You seem to be suggesting that (to use a common phrase) if something can be done, it should be done. The previous poster's example regarding a debugger was to challenge the notion that there was any meaningful reason to constrain non-accidental type subversion. You seem to be saying it's absurd to care about someone using a debugger to inject invalid code at runtime because there's nothing you can do about it, thus implying if you can do something, you should. But that only begs the question--why should you? To some people, defending against debugger code injection is no more absurd than defending against other examples where the programmer deliberately alters code to subvert static type checking. If you disagree then articulating more meaningful distinctions among cases would be worthwhile. Mere ability is generally not considered sufficient justification alone to do something.
Creating an EmptyObject Type in TypeScript
I assume he got that and he was referring to the jankiness of GTA Online.

For example, it took 5+ minutes to load for years, until some random guy fixed it for them [1]. Though I suppose that had little to do with the overall architecture.

I've always been surprised that Apple added this functionality to the iOS home screen without having a solution to the reorder vs nesting UI problem. Trying to move an app into a folder often results in the folder deciding to fly out of the way and let the item take its place when you're really trying to drop something on the folder to insert it.
This is what happens when you fight with Apple. They are losing money from the legal battle and also by not being on iPhone. With Vision Pro and Apple’s interest in gaming, they could position themselves very well and earn tons of money but instead they wanted to reduce the commission they pay to Apple. They are doing amazing stuff with Unreal Engine, it is sad that Apple is partnering with Unity instead of Unreal Engine.

Parents carry blame for buying a 13 year old a motorized vehicle that they the ride very fast.

It's like the river itself is exhibiting fluid dynamics on the macro scale as well as the micro scale. Fractalised fluid dynamics, you might say. Beautiful.

Why not publish a repo with what you have done ?
Everyone's constantly declaring states of emergency. It's hard to care.

Over the last year, San Francisco and Alameda have been in a "state of emergency" over:

- monkeypox
- COVID-19
- homelessness
- drug use

This weekend I might go look back at everything and see what duration we have not been in an emergency over.
Security cameras can and do point out into the street, adjacent properties etc. And pretty much every cellphone has a camera; I don't see a big qualitative difference between legs and wheels.

The point is that the company gave the footage to LAPD because it specifically concerned the theft of their property. Might they also give footage if an unrelated crime that happened in the vicinity of their robots? Perhaps, but that's not what happened here.
So I was trying out the new copilot built into the latest update of windows 11. Compared the same question and output with chatgpt with gpt 4 and copilot. The answers were almost the same. Only difference is the UI for copilot on windows 11 is just downright awful. The panel docks to the right side of the screen , takes up about a quarter of the desktop in this vertical narrow window thats not even resizable. So yeah I agree, the OpenAI built UI for chatgpt is still better than anything microsoft or even google has put out there to augment their search engine.
If you can’t stand the heat, get off of Earth, as Elon says.
I started reading this and thinking the parents were solely to blame, but the reports later about failing breaks is pretty f'ing concerning.

If there was any evidence of that happening here though, it would be in the law suit.
From my understanding, Japan didn’t have as big of a response because it’s already normal in their culture to wear a mask when sick.
These are the actual results of climate change though. What's being sensationalized here?
How much time do you think someone peddling under their own power could maintain 20mph? Unless they have a lot experience biking, not much, so their exposure to high risk speeds is far less than a bike they can hop on and hold that speed the whole time.

20mph is fast as hell when you fall off or hit something.
Looks nice, but it's barely the first VPN or proxy service trying to make itself oblivious of the traffic it serves (plausible or not).

There's Google One VPN (which uses blind signatures for access tokens) as well as iCloud Private Relay (which leverages nested encrypted channels terminated by a different entity than the one that receives user-side traffic, as well as blind signatures for authentication if I remember correctly).

That said, it's definitely nice to have alternatives, but as with all VPN services, I'd be cautious – the proposition of "perfectly anonymous network access" attracts a lot of attention, not all of it beneficial to the product/project.
This helps with the binary size, but not memory usage. You still effectively need the browser initialised in your process. See their own memory benchmarks: https://tauri.app/v1/references/benchmarks/#memory-usage - it's basically in the same range as electron.
None of these solutions are low code though.

Low code is using post-it notes to run your project. What "low-code" means is "someone else's code" and we already have tons of that, in the form of open source libraries and frameworks that avoid implementing tons of logic that is more or less idiomatic.

This also includes SaaS solutions, where I am not running any code at all. You are, and I'm paying your for it. All I get are a palette of decisions I can make to alter how the product runs. Just like a YAML based solution.

It's more snake oil, of an exact vintage that we already had in the late 1980's. And if you don't know what we called it then, it's because it was such a titanic flop that only computer history buffs know. An evolutionary dead end.
> I didn’t remember older HN being like that.

It was stuff like mass surveillance, the TSA, etc. Went away after Snowden.
You know you shouldn’t move private keys around?

Backup key should have separate private key and all websites should allow adding multiple keys.
US property taxes are essentially use taxes, which have analogues in other countries, not wealth taxes. If it was a wealth tax then you'd be able to deduct any outstanding mortgage debt.

Bitcoin is not anonymous. This makes me doubt of all their privacy claims
It's not that I'm against an in-depth accident investigation like this. Go for it, by all means.

But this kind of thing is practically never done for the thousands of children and teenagers that die each year from being hit by cars. It's just expected, normal, the price of doing business.

A notable exception is Strong Towns' Crash Analysis Studio, they do great work: https://www.strongtowns.org/crash-studio

Singling out ebikes seems like status-quo bias -- they get disproportionate scrutiny simply because they are new, not because of the level of risk they present.
You have way too much faith in reddit and it’s given you a huge blind spot.

It’s trivial for companies to get past Reddit’s “bullshit detector”. Just sound like a scrappy small business that cares deeply about users and not money.

There is a trail of overfunded kickstarters with nothing to show years later that demonstrates how gullible redditors are.

Your overconfidence in a bunch of armchair experts is exactly why they are so gullible. Being susceptible to marketing is one thing. Thinking you’re not is so much worse.

> I can see that Reddit really hurt you. On behalf of the community, I'm sorry.

You don’t speak for the community of which I’m a part. They also didn’t hurt me, they hurt the people they doxxed and I watched it happen years ago. That’s why there are strict doxxing bans now.

Redditors as a collective are as dumb as the average population (everyone gets equal votes), which doesn’t make for a good SNR.

> However all of the people appending 'Reddit' to their search queries instead of reading the deception-based marketing pages that fill up Google results, may understand where I'm coming from.

I do this too, but what you’re failing to grasp is that you don’t realize you’re also reading deception-based marketing pages. Corporations wised up to social media a decade ago and have armies of social media experts that know exactly how to target various online communities.
I grew up in Russia, and ES-1841 was my first computer, too.

To elaborate on this a bit more: When discussing the history of writing systems, the term "alphabet" can be used in two different senses. In a broader sense the term refers to the set of symbols, typically in a specific order, that are based on representing phonetic elements with signs (in contrast to logographic systems). In a narrower sense, the term refers to the Greek alphabet and its derivatives, to distinguish them from their syllabic or consonant-only predecessors.

It should be noted in this context, that Semitic languages can be written with comparatively less disambiguity with a consonant-only set of symbols, as the correct vowels can be inferred with relatively good accuracy from the consonants and the context. For Indo-European languages, such as Greek, this is not the case. However, even for Semitic languages a consonant-only writing-system was far from ideal. Thus, various strategies have been developed to reduce ambiguity, such as the use of plene scriptum[1] or punctation[2] in Hebrew.

The article did say the parents of the girl who owned the bike settled for $1.5 million.
So essentially the same thing as iCloud Private Relay, then? Does it also use blind signatures for authentication to the first relay?
Some of the FANG certainly do, using one at a time admission enforcement devices in some (but not necessarily all) of their core offices. Amazon, Meta for sure.
When I visit a more local website only my ISP and the site's ISP will see the domain name. With default browser setting some, probably overseas, entity that I didn't trust and didn't choose gets my request, ignoring my system configuration and without asking.

Maybe it's for compliance reasons? in other words they really want to know you're in a jurisdiction that allows gambling, and not using a VPN or whatever.

The highest frequency band doesn't have its own quantization level meaning it's hard to control the bitrate when there's detail in it.
Not just how far to read, but when articles on syndicated, other publishers can trim off less important details from the bottom. Less of an issue these days with unlimited space compared to printed papers.
... it is clear that a theory of the alphabet as a casual and playful mode of knowledge explained all of our evidence when I first tackled this back in 2004, and still (encouragingly) explains all of the new evidence discovered in the 20 years since. What we lack is a theory of play as a mode of creativity and knowledge production in ancient writing, which I suggest as a new frontier for research on the early history of writing.

That's the most interesting part of the essay, to me (in an otherwise interesting essay).

It's an interesting theory for innovation, reborn. How much creativity comes from play? How many get their start in games - within games, doing things within the gaming world, either their play-fort or an online world or their imagination about their book or their role-playing game.

Remember when SV companies would encourage play, with rooms designed for it? (Do they still?)
Yup. A bike can go 60+ down a hill.
I think that would be a bit simplistic - a burglar who specifically wants your personal digital secrets could put a hidden camera on your ceiling, a bug between your PC and USB keyboard, or just hold you hostage for it! Having a safe is pretty useful, but is neither a guarantee of security nor strictly necessary.

Having a firearm only works as protection if (A) you are present and armed 24/7 to protect your safe, (B) you are actually willing to shoot and (C) capable of doing so better than your assailant.

In a business context, if the company is large enough, it might well be worth hiring day-and-night security guards and heavy steel safes. But for the average PC user, the security can be improved much more effectively with simple improvements like creating passwords with 'diceware' or using separate accounts for financial tasks.
I suppose “Rich kid accidentally kills self with expensive toy” wouldn’t quite hit the front page.

And I’m simply shocked, shocked that the rich lawyer power couple is seeking to absolve themselves of their culpability through a lawsuit.
This is the kind of attitude that would have seen Java jobs proliferate lol

Without any particular regard for this guy, it seems (to me) like the future has plenty of space for both: the US has a vast, windswept, mostly unpopulated interior where a somewhat noisy wind mill isn’t a significant concern.

Capturing some of that energy seems like a good idea to me, especially if we can use it to offset solar’s cyclical nature.
Because their real money-makers still make money.
That’s not a refutation. Show us the phone that only billionaires can afford because it’s better.
The price of gold is only relative to the dollar. We don't spend money in the current economy with ounces of gold. We do know how much stuff should roughly cost in US dollars (or local currency). So if I go to the barber, I'll get a hair cut on credit, to be paid later by either direct barter or from credit that I paid someone else.

Roman currency (both the coinage and the numeric value promixal to goods) lasted for years after the empire fell. It was just easier to use that relative value, and rely on local credit

Mullvad can unilaterally correlate ingress and egress traffic for their users – this is not to say that they do, but they have the capabilities of doing so.

If implemented correctly (and that's a big if!), a nested tunnel approach can make that much harder and require global passive or active traffic observation capabilities (for timing observation, possibly with active timing modifications, of specific flows), or collusion of at least two different entities.
I don't want to imagine anything about this situation, and my day has been made worse reading up on it. Sucks enough that this family lost a child, but the other child on the bike not only gets to live through an accident that killed a friend, but also is the reason their family got sued for over a million dollars?

And the rhetoric of "nobody has considered kids on these things" is ridiculous. Of course they have. ATVs have been a thing for a long long time. And it has been known for a long time that those are dangerous. Do we even allow three wheelers anymore? I remember we had motorcycles at that age growing up.

I'm sympathetic to the idea that too many kids are getting on these bikes without training or proper headgear and such. I'm not clear on what this story is asserting to be done about it. Some vague assertions about bad designs, but no design points actually called out. They reference an older design that was problematic, but specifically do not accuse the current bikes of using that.

I didn't get to what the current status of this lawsuit is. Is that known?
> But historically, profit has NOT been redistributed. Why would this time be any different?

What are you talking about? Taxation has been around for a very very long time.

Many things like cellphone contracts have already gotten this right: You enter a contract guaranteeing service on their end and payment on yours, pay a reduced upfront cost kinda as a deposit, and pay the rest monthly. Then either party can terminate after the contract is up (or you both continue). Cloud-serviced hardware is nothing new.

Somehow this isn't an expectation with IoT, probably because they're shiny new toys in the experimental phases.
It must be nice to live in a functioning Western democracy. :)
Does it say "no motorized vehicles"? That does not include ebikes in my area (Southern US).

What I'm talking about is what I saw when I traveled to China. They have these sections of the main streets that are just for 1 person electric vehicles/bicycles. Then they have the main road on one side and the pedestrian sidewalk on the other. That's more what I'm talking about.
I think you make a great point. I think full remote with maybe quarterly meetups is the best. That way new hires can meet people and relationships can form for the foundation of remote work
> All I get are a palette of decisions I can make to alter how the product runs.

It's amazing how many scenarios this covers.

In the exact same way that IaaS abstracts away things a lot of people don't need to care about.
Again - That still sends out a beacon. Searching for already-paired bluetooth devices still sends a bluetooth frame with your bluetooth MAC address, (which has to be consistent, because that's how bluetooth devices identify each other).
>In fact, until well into the 1980s microcomputers ran slowly enough (and had poor enough RF shielding) that this was common knowledge: you could put an AM radio next to one and get a clue when it was doing something unusual, because either fundamentals or major subharmonics of the clock frequencies were in the 20Hz to 20KHz range of human audibility.

Oooh boy is that wrong. Even the IMSAI ran at 1 Mhz or better.
A little summary:

2PC: An algorithm used in the context of distributed transactions where each machine handles a different part of the transaction. This means that nothing is redundant - the success of each and every participant is required for the transaction to be committed.

Paxos/Raft/consensus: An algorithm usually used in the context of distributed replication. Since every participant is doing the same thing, it's tolerable if a few fail or give outputs that diverge from the majority.

2PL: A method of acquiring multiple locks such that first you acquire all the required locks (first phase), then you do what you need to do, and then you release all the locks (second phase). This is in contrast to a locking scheme where lock acquisitions and releases are interspersed. This isn't strictly limited to distributed systems, although it's common to see 2PC with 2PL.

If this piques your interest, read the Spanner paper! Spanner uses all three - 2PC with 2PL for distributed read-write transactions, and Paxos for replication.

PS: "Distributed" just means there's more than one machine involved, any of which may fail independently, and communication among these machines happens over unreliable wire.
That depends on the compiler and lang implementation. What you are saying is true for Java or imperative langs. It's not true in langs like OCaml who has ergonomics around functional programming. while loops are just as performant as recursive functions and HOF.
one border to the west, there haven't been any local computers as The Party forbade such excess. Instead we had smuggled / imported Ataris, Commodores, ZX Spectrums, etc.
I don't find any opinion of RMS unacceptable. I actually happen to find him very reasonable on most things.

I've read he has had inappropriate behavior with women. I can't know for sure to which extent it is true or false. I find this plausible but have no proof and it could be wrong. The best I can find is this tweet from 2018 I cited in another comment about women at MIT trying to avoid him by putting plants in their offices. I find this quite bad but would agree it's weak.

I also had in mind his harsh email answering this guy announcing his baby on some mailing list, or the numerous times he harshly dismissed questions at his presentations that were not perfectly phrased (that I actually saw it first hand).

There's also this great talk from Keith Packard [1] were he states they didn't use the GPL for X (mostly) because RMS was so annoying.

But the unacceptable status of any of these things is arguable and I fundamentally don't want to witch hunt him. In the end I still admire him and spending time on this is just annoying.

So let's just say that I indeed have no strong evidence of him having unacceptable behavior, so let me clean things up and retract this claim until some strong evidence shows up.

Thanks for keeping me in check.

This view is not held by economists because it’s really inefficient and is bad for both the business and the consumers. It adds pointless friction all over.

Isn't the entire wind turbine regenerative breaking?
I waded through knee high water earlier and a bunch of friends have flooded basements. My building’s elevators shut off so I’m not sure what my basement storage unit looks like right now, probably not great.

It’s, uh, not a mystery where the flooding took place today. But glad it’s a source of amusement!
Let's not euphemise it. They are motorbikes.
Wind turbines have a higher potential power density. Wind is sun energy concentrate.
