There's not really such a thing as usability that benefits everyone. Design is defined by tradeoffs; if you think you've found a perfect solution, you probably haven't fully understood the problem.

Many blind people rely on tactile paving bumps to navigate the urban environment. Those bumps are a literal pain in the ass for wheelchair users who have to roll over them. An ATM that is low enough for a wheelchair user to reach might be too low for a tall person with a stiff back. A computer interface that seems absurdly over-simplified to a power user might still be impossibly complex for a novice.
Because they don't need to pay based on inflation they need to pay based on the cost of labor.
The first scenario is a possibility for a lot of budget phones, as well as carrier-distributed phones. Both include bundled third party "system" apps, especially the budget phones where the bundleware is more likely to be from questionable devs.

It's something most of us knew already, but it's just another reason why it's a bad idea to buy dirt cheap crapware-subsidized phones, and why it's better to buy phones through electronics retailers or from the manufacturer and to steer clear of purchasing through carriers.
I'm wondering if they did infact submerge the part of the car in water.

They all but say that in the article.

The headline is Tesla clickbait, as it clearly wasn't just related to driving in the rain, but rather submerging part of the car in water. Probably from driving through a deep enough puddle of water on the road!
I guess they are not familiar with the reprap philosophy or self-sourced 3d printers like the Voron.

Peertube allows you to mirror a Youtube channel so, at the very least, creators could already create a Peertube mirror of their own content with very few effort.

Peertube also allows to proeminently display a configurable "support" button to redirect viewers to your patreon/liberapay/paypal or whatever.

The only reason to not mirror your content to peertube? Because you want people to watch Youtube ads.

But, as this news show us, nobody want to watch the ads.

PS: I’m surprized peertube is not more famous so I posted it independently here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37906699

We're only officially in a recession when NBER declares it. And they only do so by looking backwards, months after the fact at least.

The "two quarters of negative growth" was only ever a rule of thumb that mostly fit, never the official definition.
For those interested in the meat:

> An Edinburgh couple say they are “in shock” after claiming Tesla gave them a £17,000 bill to fix their battery that was ‘damaged by the rain’.

> He continued: “They said that the battery is effectively submerged in water. How can that be our fault? “After finally getting to speak to a manager, he told me it had water in it due to the fact the weather in Scotland has been so bad. That was the issue. They said it’s not necessarily my fault but it’s not Tesla’s to pay under warranty. He reminded me there was a yellow weather warning in some parts of Scotland.
It's fucking sed. Nobody expects it to have a full AI engine in there...

Also: a leader and beneficiary of various enormous centrally-planned economic units that only made him rich by carefully and deliberately avoiding competitive market forces (this is practically the only way to get rich—hypothetical perfect markets drive profits toward zero, you make the big bucks by ensuring you experience as little competitive pressure as possible) claims without qualification that central planning can’t beat market signals.

It’d sure be interesting if he took his own idea seriously and tried to apply it to the companies he has a major stake in. If his stated hard-line position is correct, it should make his companies do much better. If he actually believes it, he’ll surely try. Right?
Solution Architect Associate is what I'd recommend to start with. Practitioner is for non-technical people, Developer Associate and Sysops Associate are just marginally different than SA, often focusing on services which are marginally useful at best (few people use AWS CI/CD solutions and it makes up most of the difference for developer cert), I wouldn't bother with them.

> on west bank 98% of job is done by PA. not by IDF. Its very rare occasion for Idf to get involved.

That doesn't really change what I said? Israel and the Palestinian Authority both fight Hamas. But the state of Gaza is acting as a counter. It is slowly tipping the scales towards Hamas in the West Bank. Israel and PA cooperate when it comes to dealing with Hamas in the West Bank.

> when israel pulled out there was expression "gaza can become either singapore or mogadishu

This might just be the most ridiculous idea I have ever heard. Singapore is what it is due to it's geographical location and having a benevolent dictator. It is under all circumstances, impossible for gaza to become a singapore of the middle east.

That position is taken by the Suez Canal, which we all know is controlled by Egypt.
Except jet fuel, fertilizer, heating, steel production etc. Don't get me wrong, electric vehicles is a good thing, but it won't fix fossil fuels in itself.

Today it’s not viable. But we don’t have to implement this as a cliff function. Start at 50$/ton and increase it to 500$ over 20 years. This gives industry a major signal to invest for the down the road changes and for technology to develop/business to adapt.

With the right signal, by 2035 BEV will be cheaper than ICE. This of course assumes we don’t let the Sierra Club prevent us from mining lithium to protect some random beetle in the desert.
There's also an entire clickbait industry built around Musk hate. I'd look into their story before believing them / the headline on face value.
Other languages aren't much different in this regard (other than often being less well specified), because it's the reasonable thing to do. You want to give threads a lot of independence for performance reasons. But people just love to shit on C.

I recently had occasion to reside, temporarily, and for unremarkable reasons, in a rented apartment in the Scottish town of Dundee. The lobby of the apartment building was accessed through a single door, with handles on both sides.

Adjacent to the handles, there was also, on each side of this door, a hand-scribbled sign reading “Push”.

Needless to say, I pulled.

The door did not open.

I pushed.

The door did not open.

I pulled again.

The door opened.
> We agree with Paul Collier when he says, “Economic growth is not a cure-all, but lack of growth is a kill-all.”

This killed it for me. Humans did just fine in isolation for a very long time...until others forcibly moved them or killed them. Growth, in the terms being described, is religious and juvenile.

If some aspect of medical care can be effectively automated, we should do it. We should do everything we can to make medical care more affordable. Nobody wants to put you in particular out of a job but frankly if you're arguing that we should keep medical care more expensive because you deserve to get money for a job that a computer can do better, that's a tough argument.

I think the noreply email behavior on Github is a bit strange. I commit with my newer email. Then it gets merged to the upstream I was making a pull request in. Then it seems that the committer's (me) email is that noreply email. And then my author email gets rewritten to my old email (the one registered on GitHub first—but both are registered on GitHub). (Why does it much with my emails... I'm just wondering out loud.)
Yeah, Zuck seems to have set the trend of eliminating a lot of middle managers.
What I’ve noticed (as a Tesla owner) is that the impression you get from reading things on the internet is completely different from the impression you get as an owner. I’m sure there are people with these issues: Tesla has sold enough cars for all sorts of low-probability events to happen (and I have my own share of annoyances with the car) but, overall, the car is the best car I’ve driven and my experience as an owner has been consistently better than the impression I get from the news stories about Teslas.

> Your criticism reads like old school developers complaining about new devs learning Javascript without learning C or Assembly.

It’d be great if JS devs could learn JS, but I’m not holding my breath.

Your comments read like someone who doesn’t believe you need to understand how the abstractions work, which tends to end in failure (or extremely high cloud bills).
I won't argue about that being the best solution, but as someone that did not start to take dental health seriously until their 30's I don't think I'm in any position criticize others for their failure to do so.
I work in a major city and not once have I come across a violent crime using a 3D printed part. Most firearms used are stolen in the areas we have homicides. This legislation doesn’t make sense.

If you merely observe thermometers and which days feel hot, you'll see a link but won't be able to tell which way causality goes. If you set the thermometer to a high value in a cold room and notice that you don't get any warmer, you'll quickly realize which way causality flows.

So I agree with the GP post, I want to see them modeling & testing causality here.

This can’t have been different in the past. Why were the UI’s so much more usable at the time?
It's crazy that they did an entire release with no obvious major big new features, only a hundred small improvements here, a hundred small improvements there. I wish Apple could do the same with macOS.
Yeah, but then you'd have to work in consulting. ;)

A related idea is to just take the 400 bucks and spend it on AWS playing around. Spin up a few Kubernetes clusters, try out their various database offerings, maybe see if you can run a load-test and get your play system to auto-scale.

That would also require keeping a sharp eye on the billing side to make sure the total cost doesn't go over $400... but, hey, that's part of the learning, too!
While not automatic, YouTube Music can do this. You can basically upload your own music. Create playlists that mix yt songs and songs in your collection. You can upload on one machine, and access the uploaded song from anywhere, so you're basically using their cloud.

It seems like nothing changes in Android 14? Like at worst it's still possible on 14, whatever it is, but my impression from the title was that it's a new issue with 14 making me think I should delay updating.
Sure, but I tend to think of a cost reduction leading to doing more of your core business. I would not expect it to change the essence of how interact with your customers.

Maybe I should not be so surprised. If some core service used in software becomes 1000x cheaper, it does tend to produce not just shifts in quantity but shifts in the kind of thing you do with it. For instance, if a language's garbage collector goes from annoyingly slow to basically invisible, it wouldn't be surprising for the preferred paradigm to change.
Sorry, genuine inquiry: what makes you the arbiter over what is and isnt dignified or appropos for a discussion of this calibre and on this medium?
Hmm, not sure who to beleive on this. If it was caused by extreme weather, then their car insurance should cover it? If it was caused by poor seal in manufacturing, it would be a warranty issue. The poor customer service is something I can beleive though!
I am very curious about this, because my understanding was that any EV would fare better in wet conditions than most ICE vehicles, because the battery has so much insulation around it.

When I first got my EV, I was worried about how it would fare in the rain, especially when driving over large puddles. After reading about the insulation, I felt comfortable driving it in extremely wet conditions.

Now I'm worried that I may have to rethink that. Am I supposed to be worried about splash getting into the pack, staying there, and slowly ruining the battery? If I keep driving long enough, will motion plus the heat of the battery pack be enough to dissipate the moisture? Since I live in an extremely humid location, is that a concern too?

I've seen footage of Model 3s operating in flood zones, with the rear wheels essentially serving as propellers. Of course, I've never seen the results of what happened afterwards. Presumably the water got into the batteries, and the car would no longer start.

In that case, the driving-through-water functionality would mainly be for an emergency where the only other option is a complete loss of the vehicle, and/or something more valuable than the batteries, whether its a life or possessions.

I didn't think about that until now, because my previous assumption was that it was fine to drive an EV over water. I thought that the the only exposure that the batteries had to the outside world was through the charge port and the engine, and everything else was protected by insulation. But I didn't think about what the insulation actually was. I imagined it as some sort of metal or plastic shell.

edit: I hadn't seen this video before, but I know there's at least one other tweet Elon made where he doesn't disapprove of something that, as I now understand, is probably going to render the vehicle inoperable in the near future due the battery pack failing after exposure to water:

As a Tesla owner, it's pretty clear these people are lying about what they did to the car.

Tesla's become one of the most popular brand in the US and sells cars all over the world. The idea that a Tesla can't stand a normal puddle of water is ridiculous.

This is just dumb tabloid garbage and of course HN gets bamboozled again.
The battery was damaged by water according to the article. Is there a point to this exercise other than to frustrate me into not responding?
Even if the story is false, Tesla, launched to the stratosphere (literally and figuratively) in just a few years, keeps on showing it is still very green in the automotive industry. Long term reliability is a crucial factor for a vehicle, and is something that Tesla seems to be struggling with. I'm not very keen on building your car around a huge touch screen. This alongside stories of locking features for certain customers, or geofencing features in certain areas, kept me from jumping on the Tesla wagon.

Tesla definitely transformered the automative industry, but I feel like they have a long way to go still, and they really need to focus on their car being a car, first and foremost.
Unfortunately, due to the delay, a lot of people reimplemented it badly.

For example, signal handling is completely broken in Python since blocking syscalls (think `select`, but see `signal(7)` for a complete list) will not be interrupted.

`SA_RESTART` correctly excludes such syscalls so you can properly handle the EINTR instead of hanging.

Garages are also much less common in europe, so cars are often stored in driveways. It's not like the car would have avoided the rain by not being driven, so I have to agree with the owners here. If the car fails in rain (especially at just a yellow warning level), it's not suitable for sale in large parts of Europe.

Probably very few people here are familiar with Xing, the German "business networking site". I was convinced LinkedIn would eat Xing's lunch when they launched in Germany, since the same happened pretty fast to Facebook and its local clone (StudiVZ). However, it hasn't happened then and only now some small tendency for people to prefer LinkedIn can be noticed, but mostly because of international contacts and not because the site is all that great.

Anyway, in the last couple of years, Xing also mutated from a business contact network to a wanna-be Facebook social network, with memes, neurotic posting, outreach metrics etc. Instead of being a contact backbone, it's become an attention leech, basically the same experience as you describe for LinkedIn. At least in case of Xing, it's more or less known that they have been infested by product managers for a long time, whose only metric for success has ever been "innovation (tm)", so it's explainable, but still stupid. I suppose same could be happening at LinkedIn, even though they never have been good to begin with, palatable at most.
As I kid I rode along as my neighbor drove his pickup truck up to the headlights through a flood in order to save some animals from drowning. If the truck had a stalled we probably would've been pushed off the road and ended up heading down the river.

Maybe it's a one-in-a-million problem. When you make two million cars most will be fine but a handful will have inadequate sealing so the battery will get flooded.
