Not a single car company, no matter how big or innovative had 'EV just figured out' and could easily just mass produce them. VW is the size of Toyota and was and is nowhere near that.

The idea that Toyota, a company that has nothing but stalled on EV and fought EV regulation at every step has internally already perfected every aspect of EVs is just nonsense.

Their initial products are not competitive in price or performance (or anything really).

Some people have really gone in the deep end with Toyota and believe that Toyota can not actually make mistakes. It all some 4D galaxy brain strategy. Its impossible that they simply bet on the wrong technology, had stubborn leadership, under invested in EV (and battery production) and are now paying the price. Of course not its all brilliant strategy. They fired their CEO, despite his amazingly brilliant strategy. They also invested billions in hydrogen with virtually no results just to throw people so they don't know that Toyota has already perfected EVs. And they invested billions in their solid state batteries, that will be in mass production by 2022 (what year is it?).

There is literally 0 evidence that Toyota has 'figured out' EV. And there is a literal mountain of evidence suggesting the opposite.

This is Panic's first foray into hardware and it really shows; while the device itself is very handsome and feels great, they really underestimated demand and have had a tough time getting the supply logistics under control. I ordered mine in February and got it 7 months later.

Honestly, I've never seen a CRT fisheye as bad as someone aping the aesthetic.

Are you happy with the device - looks pretty cool minus the grayscale screen. Curious if that was chosen for battery life or cost?
But for how long will good batteries be stocked for older phones?

My frustrating experience with lots of older tech like cameras and laptops is that the battery formats are constantly changing, and none are being manufactured in the required format 5+ years later, when I'd really want a fresh battery.

So even though it is designed for easy field replacement, it is effectively obsolete because the only product available is some dodgy counterfeit part. You never know if it even meets the specs, avoids being a fire hazard, and isn't an outright fraud like relabeled old batteries...
For example, with static typing one would define many different complex types over the program, in order to have the compiler enforce the many different constraints (here the value can be null, but not there ; these two values must be provided together ; and so on). Things like structural typing or algebraic data types even allows the creation of unnamed types on the fly. When sum types are used, conditional operators will be used to deconstruct these in a type-safe way, resulting in many branches.

With dynamic typing, one would have only a small number of very different types, because having many types increases the risk of using the wrong one, and having similar types makes it harder to notice that the wrong one is being used. The types must be very simple, because deconstructing complex types requires having branches, and branches should be kept to a minimum because they are hard to cover properly with unit tests.
Java didn't only run on one OS but for whatever reason Oracle seems to find no value in making its UI stack nicer and modern. It seems only Microsoft's C# stack is working on this. There's also Qt, which is not a single-OS solution, but its C++.

Say Amazon offers three items all equivalent: one is priced at $9 and two are priced at $9.50 all are Prime.

If the vendor for the $9 offers it for $8.50 elsewhere and Amazon starts focusing on a $9.50 offer is that "better for the consumer"?

If the $9 doesn't exist and there are two vendors at the $9.50 price and one has a higher review history but offers it lower elsewhere is Amazon making things better by focusing on the other one?

Will Replit still be available as a free tool for people who are learning to program to use for private experiments?

This post talks about hosting in terms of apps that other people can visit, but it's not clear to me if Replit is still going to work as a tool I can suggest to beginner programmers as an online development environment.

The abstract appears to be suggesting that this tea inactivation might make it less likely for Covid positive people to give it to others. Covid is mainly spread through saliva (droplets when coughing/speaking), but unless you're putting tea up your nose it would seem to not have that much protective effect from catching it.

This is good. I've been working on getting my head around something similar. The idea of progress toward a sustainable civilization informed most major and many minor decisions through my adult life. Realizing that it was not going to happen, that humanity is simply running headlong into catastrophe, left me with a heavy weight of despair and a feeling of failure.

I still don't really know what to do with my life, now that its major organizing principle has become useless, but this author's conclusion aligns with where I've been going: if nothing you do is going to affect the outcome, then you should probably stop worrying about it. Just enjoy what's in front of you while it's still here; the chaos will arrive soon enough.

I had the same thought. The gothic church one, for example. Why wouldn't I just write "A pink gothic church in the sunset" instead of writing "A gothic church" and then having to do the extra steps to turn the word "church" into pink?
Of course, I'm very ignorant of the uses of such tech, so there's probably some usefulness in this.
The advice in it certainly can be used by untrustworthy people or in malicious ways but so can any other social advice really. I'm sure some people buy the book to only read the sections about asking people to do things for you or being a better salesman (Which doesn't have to literally be selling things. Maybe I'm trying to convince my friends to try some new board game at game night instead of the same 3 we always play). But even then you'd have to ignore most of those chapters' advice about putting the buyer's needs first.

Ultimately the core of the book is "think about the other person and their perspective" and gives advice on how to apply that in cases of making friends, keeping friends and having good business relationships. Or to frame it a more selfish way, "the best way to get what you want from other people is to give them what they want first."

Like I said, it's nothing groundbreaking, but the stories and examples were helpful to me when I was socially clueless. The average person might still find value in it because even though these things are easy to know, it takes conscious effort to apply. But I also think writing "Pause and think about the other person" on your hand with a marker will have exactly the same benefit unless you really need some of these things spelled out for you.

Up until a few months ago the HN crowd loved Cloudflare. How sentiment has changed in such a short period.

My guess would be their weird ‘site protection’ stuff is burning too many people and negatively impacting their reputation.
Hey, could you please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and use HN in the intended spirit? You broke that badly with this post, and we're trying for something else here.
> edit to add: the article claims the main reason for them losing so much money is lack of throughput, which demonstrates that the claim is bullshit. If they made even more cars and "lost 30K" on each one they'd be worse off.

Hah! I knew I wasn't the only one who noticed that. It's like the old joke:

> Q: How do you expect to stay in business if you lose money on every sale?

> A: Easy. We'll make it up on volume!

More seriously, a production line has huge fixed costs associated with it, so you really need to get the most throughput out of it that you can, in order to maximize profits.

The article is "kind" of about the enshittified tech economy. It uses Amazon and Uber mostly as well known examples of bad behavior (like name dropping a celebrity everybody knows is a train wreck).

The article is mostly about attempts to create an alternative using cooperative structures that aim for 50+% money going to drivers / gig-workers / ect...

Example 1: $30/hr for 9,000 drivers in New York, NY that's "almost" break even (according to the article) that focuses on limited, yet high demand services. This service attempts 80% drivers / 20% cooperative allocation.

Example 2: Restaurant cooperative in Fort Collins, CO that got pissed at Grubhub jacking rates, so they built their own delivery service and charge $4.90 / order average. Now have 50% of the city's business.

To play the devil’s advocate: I have an otherwise intelligent friend who doesn’t believe in global warming because in his mind the cause-and-effect hasn’t been clearly articulated.

So I started to explain to him in more rigorous, scientific terms that he’ll understand and accept.

I found that it was much, much harder than I had anticipated.

I did my own research, and it turns out that the “real story” can’t really be explained without resorting to nonlinear differential equations and high-resolution spectra of exotic chemicals. For example it turns out that it matters a lot that near the poles the upper atmosphere has a higher concentration of various rare isotopes, which shifts the fine structure of absorption spectra just so as to absorb heat from the lower layers.

To be perfectly honest, despite a physics degree and a background in chemistry, I didn’t quite follow the full argument and couldn’t relay it to my friend.

However when I saw a NASA page about the precision spectra of truly obscure specie such as doubly-ionised isotopically non-standard excited radicals as key inputs into supercomputer climate simulations I was reassured that smart people have sunk an awful lot of effort into the problem.
EAC blows hot and cold in war against trade in used clothing
> I wonder how much of that is the software demands increasing and the flash storage itself wearing out over time. As flash storage wears it'll often go slower and slower as the error correction needs to process more to actually get you the uncorrupted bits. This is why a lot of cheap devices tend to just become unbearably slow after a while, their storage just gets to be way too slow.

Too bad no flagship phones have removable storage anymore, because that would be a really easy fix to this problem.
Be warned: The Pixel 5A has a manufacturer defect where they just die out of nowhere:

Luckily Google extended the usual 1-year warranty to be 2-years to give free replacements (which I took advantage of and in fact was given a free upgrade to a 6A)... But be prepared for your phone to die out of nowhere.

I would rather they be open about their failures than deceptive about it. Of course simply not failing would be ideal, but we don't live in a perfect world. If a single, external point of failure causes your system to crumble, that's a design problem, not a dependency problem.
> Maybe it is the 20k I lost.

I will not belittle that in any way and I understand your frustration, and given the amount involved it is just in that grey zone where trying to recover it is likely just throwing good money after bad. For an extra zero it would be well worth it and a zero less and you probably wouldn't lose sleep over it.

> But Estonian law enforcement is abysmal.

This we fully agree on.

You’re still choosing who gets to live based on their immutable characteristics. Which I would say is still bad, but not for entirely the same reasons as the Nazi program was.

And as I mentioned in another response, if this technology eventually becomes very sophisticated, how do you prevent some sort of gattaca-like situation emerging?

You’re still discriminating upon who gets to live, and “at least it’s not racist” doesn’t seem like a particularly compelling defence of that idea to me. It also doesn’t impact the myriad of other potential downstream issues.
"Just" use WASI is not useful advice. I've been trying to do that for my own purposes for over a year. The learning curve on that (as a Python programmer who wants to use WebAssembly for sandboxing) is practically a vertical wall.
Yes, and aside from predating the CIA thing by two decades, none of those other projects produced anything worth a damn either.

That includes the strict subset that made it so far as an attempt at implementation - and I note also none of the projects you list involved cats, famously the least biddable among animals common in both household and farmstead. Even Skinner was more sensible than that!

So I suppose I have to thank you for making such a strong argument in support, however unintentionally.
It's trivial to store sensitive data in a collection, for example, and then index it with the wrong index when trying to access and export adjacent non-sensitive data.
"Encoding a coherent or accurate set of spatial coordinates for places is not equivalent to understanding the actuality of world space and the relationship between items in that space."

What do you mean by the "actuality" of world space? It certainly has memorized an enormous data set of geographic points for various important locations and can do some pretty sophisticated reasoning and inference from them, and with the code interpreter it can compute various metrics derived from them. What can this thing do that humans can't?
On re-reading “Brave New World”
It's a very strong argument to say that the practice currently being pursued by the FTC has been a long standing and generally accepted as legal practice in the retail industry. The fact that they are going after Amazon for this, but have not ever gone after anybody else who has been doing it for decades leads me to the conclusion that this is not about the actual trade practice it claims to be about, but rather a politically targeted attack on Amazon.

And the FTC is very much capable of running multiple enforcement actions at once. Why are there no such charges against other companies doing the same thing. They don't have to be one at a time.
I've never loved cloudflare - as someone doing this long before they existed I see through their wordy blog posts about rookie mistakes. It's embarrassing really.

i can't judge that for myself as i have not been to houston yet but i remember seeing articles about people moving from california to austin and being disappointed. if houston is anywhere similar to austin then that should prove the point.

it really depends on what you consider quality of living. to me that includes access to interesting activities, people etc. if i don't get that, i will do something else to compensate. in houston that could mean more travelling. so the money you save on the house you then spend on airplane tickets or on gas for your car.

not everyone is going to be the same. it could be that you absolutely love living in houston, spend all your time hanging out at the space center, or some other local activity that is not expensive and really do save money.

but what i said actually applies more for living in a different country, because i assure you, at a minimum you will miss food from home and spend money on imported food or going to restaurants.
This is theft.
Which country? Your exchange or bank would not be compliant in the US. Money transmitters have a duty to determine the source of funds for large transactions. And they have to report any "suspicious activity" to authorities (FinCEN in the US). By the way, it's not necessarily a literal form, they can ask by phone or email for example. The specific details vary from country to country, like what amount threshold triggers the verification or what constitutes acceptable proof, but it's pretty standard thanks to the FATF[0].
