Verizon, actually. Not the mail tubes specifically, but they own Empire City Subway, a 130 year old company rents out sub-street conduit for telecom. Their tubes are visible when streets are dug up for construction.

https://www.empirecitysubway.com/

Looks like their lowest rate (<=2.5" conduit) is $3,660/mile/yr, not including installation, permitting, and city franchising fees. Still interested?
Pandora was largely the first LLM/trained AI. They just used music "genes" (words) and tokenized on that and their relationship. The difference was that the success model it used was based on a variable/semi-arbitrary input (personal tastes) with weighting vs an objective model (dictionaries/documents; or, for things like game playing AI, a goal to reach).
adhd is largely maladaptive in the modern world but the question is whether it was maladaptive in a hunter-gatherer society

personally I feel that the symptoms of adhd are less relevant and doesn't impair my daily functions as much if I focus my entire waking time on outdoor activities like biking and swimming, and while I never hunted with primitive tools it might share some similarities

I think this is something that could be verified in practice too, since we still have hunter-gatherers societies
is it really? I'm on one right now talking with people across the world.
A huge portion of the Japanese economy is based on the auto industry (something like 2.5% of GDP). EVs are much simpler than ICE vehicles. Additionally, Japan doesn't have expertise or the raw materials to be competitive in batteries, which is one of the main components of an EV.

So, from the perspective of Toyota, and from the Japanese economy as a whole, there is little reason to think that there is much value in manufacturing EVs. Sure, Toyota might be able to slap their brand on an EV and get a few out the door, but they're not going to dominate the market like they do today.
I want to see more layer 4 protocols, not stuff built on top of them, personally. That's where things get interesting.
What a bargain! For $1 a year (that YOU pay), Elon gets your credit card info or other. (where |you| is a much larger number than previous)

sig mentioned this. I just wanted to double down.

Elon just wants to be your bank. "Too bad" he scared away so many potential customers by politicizing the platform.

Narcissists really do want to have things "both ways"
I’m pretty sure their body-worn cameras are automatically enabled (or tag the current time window to be retained?) when the officer’s taser is activated in at least some constabularies.

Unfortunately the best source I have is a vague memory of some tv documentary. Some light searching didn’t come up with much[1] but digging a little deeper I found mentions of a few external sources than can enable the BWCs in the Axon documentation[2].

> You also get standard x86 support, normal expand-ability, M.2 slots, PCIe ports, etc.

Let's acknowledge that there are good reasons for avoiding x86 for those who care. The security problems for one, and the long shadow of Microsoft over the ecosystem. Perhaps an additional concern about the supply chain. The closer we can get to an open-source system without blobs, the better.

But the above concerns apart, it seems clear that R.Pi 4 and 400 were peak R.Pi. The performance and low-cost of Intel's recent x86 NUC mainboards is impressive. AMD is also offering strong value in the SFF market.

As I long-time R.Pi/Odroid user, I continue to enjoy these devices. But their lunch has been eaten by competitors.
Do you have the same outlook on Hak5 “tools”?

I feel like you’re giving it an unfair shake. They didn’t just _build a toy_ those of us who originally supported through kickstarter saw a huge chunk of the work that went into building this device, the flipper team (10ish people?) has and continues to overcome so many crazy things (Covid, chips, supply chains, shipping) just to have the flipper device available world wide. The dev/modding community behind it is pretty amazing.

Full disclosure I was a very early backer. I have used my Flipper for fun and business. I can’t think of any other $120 _toy_ I use as much. Maybe I’m biased, and took your comment out of context.

Jetbrains is a bootstrapped superstar company, man. They don't have to answer to people like you and me. For the rest:

1. LinkedIn -> public through MSFT

2. Stack Overflow -> public through PROSY

3. Meta -> public

4. Epic -> public through TCEHY

If you want to solve this problem, start a blindingly successful company with wild ARR and then spend it how you want it to. But if you take it public, you best believe that you now have masters that look like you and me. Notice how employee ratings of CEOs correlates strongly to stock performance? That's what shareholders do too. No one knows what's right. They only know the outcome they like, not how to get there.

Personally, I think this is fantastic. They're doing a good job moving the frontier of some of this marketing stuff. That means a pretty good internal org structure that allows the eng guys to contribute to the branding stuff.
I mean, sure, I get that line of thinking, but it feels suicidal for them to be coming up with cockamamie ideas that nobody is asking for and have the potential to be significantly more dangerous than current offerings, rather than trying their best to move on with everyone else. That is to say, I'm not opposed to non-polluting alternatives to EVs, whatever that could look like, but... ammonia?

I feel like they risk being even further behind the curve if they're not actively working on an EV.
I think that's an oversimplification of auto engineering, and more-so Toyota's strategy (whatever that is)

Toyota offered quality that is unheard of at that economic point across the board; it isn't simply quality drivetrains, it's quality everything that leads to a reliable and trustworthy vehicle that has a high resale value.

Now, I don't know why they're doing what they're doing with the alternative engine designs; but I do know that their manufacturing capability and research prowess is top-notch, and that they could pretty smoothly dive straight into EV by pulling strings with long-term partners. Their journey to full EV won't be the same as ground-up groups like Tesla/Rivian/Whatever.

I don't think it should be viewed as a slip in expertise and capability -- I think it's more like a moon-shot.
Nuclear power.

Pushing for more EVs means increase in electricity demand in Japan, when they are already struggling as they had to shut down part of their old plants, and would need a political and technical miracle to justify building new ones that the public would acknowledge as safe enough.

Betting the farm on electricity is not viable in the current Japanese situation, so Japanese maker looking long and hard at alternatives shouldn't be a surprise.

Other countries have the same issue in variant degrees, so Toyota forsaw they could make a full EV turn later if the alternatives don't pan out.
> But don't journalists in oppressive regimes (e.g. Venezuela, China, Russia, Myanmar, Arab Spring) use twitter to share information? They could previously share information with nothing more than an internet connection, but now they'd be required to enter payment info; what does that do for their anonymity?

Considering how supportive Elon is of oppressive governments, I imagine he views this as a side benefit.
After skimming the article, it seems like they are suggesting a connection between some established/known trends that makes it easier for a person with ADHD to develop dementia.

Known:

- Dementia has many lifestyle risk factors (poor education, hypertension, obesity, hearing loss, depression, diabetes, physical inactivity, smoking, drinking, social isolation)

- ADHD can make it easy to have certain lifestyles (addictions to drugs or food, trouble maintaining relationships, emotional dysregulation, poor education, poor work performance, high risk behavior)

New connection:

- There is significant overlap in the two
In most of the US (if not all - I don't know), off-duty police have the same powers as on-duty police, uniformed or not. That's why people want to hire them. https://www.ojp.gov/ncjrs/virtual-library/abstracts/when-pol...

So if police are allowed to moonlight in other jobs, then they by definition bring those powers to the job - and their legal immunities, and their illegal immunities created by the 'thin blue line' of cops who protect each other.
Does everyone want their salary even more trivially scraped by Experian and packaged up into a data product?

I'm sure all sorts of entities would like to know exactly what your income is.
> batteries and EV drivetrains are still a bit more expensive than a traditional ICE

We're really close to crossing that line, maybe we even have already done so. For someone shopping new sedans, it's hard to argue with ROI on the Model 3 RWD right now.
It doesn't take a lot of extremists to cause a security threat; "lone wolf" scenarios are absolutely something Jewish places of worship have to worry about. Not just in Germany, and doubly so this week.

Germany had a far-right coup attempt brewing late last year:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2022/12/07/germany-coup...

> German authorities on Wednesday arrested 25 people suspected of plotting to use armed force to storm parliament and violently overthrow the state, marking one of the country’s largest-ever raids targeting right-wing extremists.

> Those arrested included a 71-year-old German aristocrat, a former lawmaker from the right-wing Alternative for Germany party and at least one former armed forces member, according to the public prosecutor and officials.
The sonic boom crack is really cool. I didn’t realize it goes trans-sonic at such low altitude but it makes sense given how much thrust the F9 has and the low weight of the empty booster.
A tangential comment given your mention of whatever 99 B form:

Every time HN discussion about US taxes comes, I imagine a sizeable group of users from developed country watch in amusement the craziness that the IRS makes its taxpayers go through to charge them money.

I know in Mexico and Chile everything is highly automated. In Mexico 50%+ of working class dont have to do ANYTHING, as whatever tax stuff needed is submitted by their employer.

Come on US... that we in Mexico have better automation for this is inconceivable. We look up to you for lots of things, particularly technology.
Well, that may be so but what should frighten them more is to become utterly irrelevant. Drive trains always should have been a commodity. Toyota makes excellent cars and that's not just the engine, it's the whole package that makes them a brand worthy of some respect. Suggesting that an ammonia fueled vehicle is the solution for their insecurities is playing fast and loose with their perceived image as a safety and environmentally aware company. They couldn't have picked a worse fuel for a vehicle, even if you can make it work in the lab.
I see your point. I should have been more clear too, I meant more like "failed to achieve the goals stated by its creators." I agree that none of them failed to achieve a significant impact in the lives of the girls, and I think this blind spot of the creators and success outside of it is a significant and interesting part of the story.

But still my overall point remains! If someone is going to make a primer based on the ideas of the diamond age, they should be the ones to start this conversation. They should have a more sophisticated view of this limitation than an internet commenter who last read the book years ago. Not doing that is its own kind of failure.

Well, your question is not right, but it is very close to right.

Right question for business owner, who are the most important in business to run (VITAL important), and who are the least important.

Usually, investors consider, CEO as 80% of company cost, because good CEO have command of managers and hr's who are tightly coupled to him and could just hire all other need people from job market.

So, this could have slight differences in different industries, but mostly this mean, safest is CEO.

CEO usually have command of people for most important things (if he could not do himself, or don't want to do - accountant, hr, finance director, marketing manager, team-lead, in some industries could be lead architect and in some security).

All others could be changed to people from nearest college.
This is obviously good but note that it appears to be covering mesothelioma only, and "The median [overall survival] OS was 15.4 months (95% CI, 11.1-22.6) for UV1 plus ipilimumab and nivolumab (treatment arm) versus 11.1 months (95% CI, 8.8-18.1) for ipilimumab and nivolumab alone." Another headline could be: "Cancer vaccine helps some mesothelioma patients live an extra 4.3 months," which is less exciting than the headline's current phrasing. It's like how people are horrified by "you have a 20% chance of dying" but somewhat reassured by "you have an 80% chance of living."

I'm dying from squamous cell carcinoma and am more excited about the Moderna approach with personalized cancer vaccines, like mRNA-4157. Early data for what I have is promising: https://www.fiercebiotech.com/biotech/moderna-s-keytruda-com...: "The combination treatment shrank tumors in five patients with head and neck cancer (50%), eliminating the tumors in two of those patients, Moderna said in a statement. Another four patients in that group had stable disease, meaning their tumors had stopped growing." Recurrent/metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma is almost always fatal: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8155962/, unless the person responds to pembrolizumab/Keytruda (which I do not; about 20 - 30% of patients appear to respond, based on KEYNOTE-048: https://ascopubs.org/doi/full/10.1200/JCO.21.02508). Unfortunately, Moderna won't make mRNA-4157 available under compassionate use or through any other means. :(

Moderna, however, is in a Phase III study of mRNA-4157 in melanoma: https://www.onclive.com/view/adjuvant-mrna-4157-plus-pembrol.... Given the miraculous early data for R/M HNSCC, one hopes they'll launch new trials.

Nivolumab is a PD-1 inhibitor, like pembrolizumab/Keytruda, but I don't know anything more about it.

they are just taking the piss.
We can't really decide what grant agencies should want, especially since their goals are often national or even more decentralized, and thus 'siloed' - it seems quite plausible that a grant agency (or tenure board) really has no good reason to value replicating the inventions of others but wants to put their funding solely towards "their own" new results.

Tragedy of the commons is a predictable outcome no matter how smart the agents are, because they're each acting in their own best interests.
Abusing dopaminergic drugs like cocaine (not dissimilar in effects from methylphenidate) and methamphetamine (not dissimilar from amphetamine) increase the risk of Parkinson’s down the line. It’s possible the same mechanism is at play here, either just because some people are more sensitive to medication at therapeutic doses than others or because some portion of people with this condition abuse their medication (or both).

As others have mentioned, ADHD is also comorbid with other mental health disorders including eg depression and alcoholism. That’s also a reasonable mechanism. Personally as someone with the condition a 6% increased chance does not scare me though it’d be great to understand the mechanism in case it’s caused by preventable behaviors rather than the condition itself.
any insight on how many people have it installed compared to the other products with the same concept?
I think Toyota genuinely believes EVs are a fad. They might even be right for the current wave, but long term I think they will be wrong.

Where I think they could win is with plug-in hybrids. Plugins have all the advantages of a combustion engine with none of the downsides of an EV.

- easily plugin into any outlet

- range is usually around 30 miles, enough for most people to daily drive on electric only

- combined electric/gas gets you 100+ MPGs

It’d be very large, but also very faint (if you were using human eyes). Not nearly as spectacular as you seen in illustrations.

Laws of war state that civilians and medical personnel (the persons with the crosses on their helmets and uniforms who take oaths to do no harm) are not to be fired upon unless they are firing upon you.

When the laws of war apply, the chain of command is searched for the parties that can and should have sufficient evidence of their operations to prove their case.

Whether or not the laws of war applied, there is prosecution for war crimes (once we return to rational cost reduction and equal due process).

I think it's a stretch to believe that ego is controlling a 300b company. It's an easy 'spectator' guesss, but more realistically whatever their strategy is is likely just being misinterpreted.

I mean, with that kind of cash and establishment you can do some real wacky things publicly that turn profit. A company the size of Toyota could influence public trends enough to make money on the side via profits from share-held groups.

Maybe they have a larger hand in refinery/opec/whatever markets than one would first imagine -- if that was the case then there is plenty of valid 'business reasoning' that would end in the publishing/advertisement of weird products.

Most Japanese manufacturers are small and many parts of battery and battery cell supply depends on China. Japan lost the battery battle so want to use something else. Tesla’s largest battery supplier is Chinese CATL[0].

So in EV Japan is a minor player, if not for US sanctions Chinese EV makers would have overtaken Tesla as well, but which they will give them some time.

Whohoo! I just bought a Tesla and was so annoyed about this. Punishing electric vehicles is a terrible idea at this point. I hope this means I won't have to pay it when my registration renews next month.

What's really insane about this tax is that it also applied (at 80% of the full rate) to plugin hybrids - essentially taxing them out of existence, as they assume you drive them on electric at 80%, so normal users are taxed double. An insane, regressive and nonsense policy that never should have existed.

> Japan doesn't have expertise or the raw materials to be competitive in batteries

Japan is notoriously good at fundamental material science, and Panasonic is a battery giant. Sure there's tough competition, but they never shied away from fighting these kind of battles.

Relying on mainly China for the rare earth/metals could be an aspect of it though.

> exactly phrase it in such a way as to be extortion

extortion is unrelated of the exact words used but the intend

that clever phrasing can make you avoid extortion charges or similar is a common misbelive

if a cop gets away with a clear extortionist behavior it's because the prosecutor lets them and uses formulation as a shallow excuse not because clever formulations protect you from the law
Tesla is almost certainly cheaper than an ICE, they are sitting on their profit margin to a large degree. Chinese makers are likely under it too.

All the incumbents are still way over it, I hear like $140/kw-hr for things like the electric ford F-150. I'm fairly confident Tesla and the chinese are under $100/kw-hr, and that's without the forthcoming high density sodium ion/LFP cells that will probably get into cars in 2024.

The Chinese EV makers are really the Sword of Damocles to Toyota and US/EU car makers. Tesla can already match them in costs, but if they gain access to the US market, the other car makers will have to eat a lot of losses to stay remotely price competitive with them.
