Everything published prior to 1928 is in the public domain. Reducing copyright terms or eliminating copyright would have no effect on those works. So, either your argument is self-defeating, or losing access to works published in 1928 and later would impact QOL. It seems there must be a cutoff point, sometime between 1928 and 2023, where the QOL impact of new works ceased. Why is that -- what changed?

And, once we find the cutoff point, can we make copyright terms for works published after that point infinite, since you don't need them for QOL anyway?

The connectors are much bulkier and the cables are stiffer (not sure if the second thing is a design flaw or an implementation flaw).

Since all the manufactures want to use superchargers they will be forced to handle payments properly (certificates on the car not a flaky payment terminal on the charger). Should help for third party chargers also.
I doubt there will be any noticeable difference. NACS's communication protocol is the same as CCS, and adapters exist in both directions.

NACS's plug is smaller because the primary pins support both AC and DC. CCS uses separate pins for AC and DC. Also NACS locks the cable on the car side while CCS locks on both sides. That means with CCS, a malfunctioning cable can strand your car.

The main downside of NACS is that it doesn't support three-phase, but neither does CCS1, which is the version of the CCS standard used in North America and Japan (where household three-phase is rare). Europe uses CCS2, which is an even larger connector than CCS1 (due to the extra pin needed for three-phase).
By the standards of modern "meatlovers" they might as well have been, given just how rarely they had meat.
There is a secondary issue: Even on projects where someone is interested in doing polish work, since it usually takes longer to polish than to write a new feature, those who only care about writing features cause the backlog of things that need polish to grow infinitely.

I don’t really know of a good strategy for dealing with this in FOSS. If a feature contributor doesn’t care about polish, and you say to them ‘please fix the UX’, they can just either ignore the feedback (‘perfect is the enemy of good! move fast and break things!’), or if they don’t have direct commit access, create a fork that they can then advertise as having lots of cool new features.

I would love to know some strategies that work to strike a balance between not demanding perfection and not allowing garbage to be mainlined.
Why would I use inputs, when I can feed a mixed herd of goats, sheep, chickens and pigs to eat your rose and wild parsnip and turn it into food for my family, neighbors and community? But sure, if you want to pay me, I will take payment. At the end of my herd's eating and working your soil, you'll have plenty of manure, green manure (ultimately), and should be ready for planting whatever you want. This is exactly what I do with wild parsnip today. I don't eradicate multiflora rose, but instead, propagate it where I can. My hives work it with great delight, and it makes an unbelievable-tasting honey. Obviously, its also a great edible for us humans, and makes a fantastic tea.

They wouldn't have needed to add any code. They could have just changed their implementation of the function to an import of it from the Python standard library. That would be a net reduction in code size.

Discord permanently banned every single user who was present in TheDonald community Discord server after January 6. Every single person. Even if they had never said a word, even if they joined several years earlier and muted the server and hadn't opened it since.

Discord is as transparent as mud. Now that it's difficult to sign up to Discord without a phone number, my money is on the only reason they're doing this being user retention.

> I'm still not sure what Tesla gain from opening up SuperCharger for competitors.

They can actually charge for charging (rather than giving it away), and lots of people will pay for it, it also adds to their network effect (more customers for charging = more charging stations they can build).

I wouldn't be surprised if 10 years from now the US government will declare Tesla a charging monopoly and split it away from the car company.

The thing is, Tesla didn't even ignore it: in Type 2 / CCS2 markets, Tesla vehicles from the Model S onwards came with at least native Type 2 AC charging (and from the Model 3 onwards, with CCS2 - there wasn't the physical space in the original S and X).

As of the last few years, CCS2 had basically already won in the those markets in the same way that NACS has basically won in North America today.

(There is an adjacent issue - in many of these markets three-phase supply in domestic and small business settings is more common than in North America, and the Type 2 AC plug can supply 3 phase).
> Oh, you forgot the mandatory 5% fee, too.

It's not mandatory and its capped at 2%, not 5%, but, yes, there is a potential additional charge beyond just the full cost (what would be the employer + employee share, for a current employee) of coverage.

Low value comment downvoted into oblivion. Nothing weak about that

Fair comment - I'm not saying it's a panacea. Just that it's productive.
Which btw is a terrible analogy. The west even while there was a "frontier" had laws and in fact was subject to the actual US military attempting to actively subjugate Native Americans. Laws absolutely existed - even every western had a sheriff or two - and to various degrees they were carried out in ways that we would certainly view as unacceptable today broadly speaking. The "wild west" if anything was characterized by enforcement by extremely punitive measures carried out sporadically for perceived deterrent effects. Law enforcement was organized both on a local and federal level - they just had a habit, that in some ways continues today, to be focused more on "a bad guy" instead of "the bad guy", hence the lynchings that went on against minority groups, but just because lynchings are extrajudicial didn't mean that the participants were not frequently part of said law enforcement (a posse comitatus, if you will). That's not really anything close to what the labor landscape looks like today, or the internet, or any of the other oft-seen but rarely critiqued comparisons made today.

Batching a bunch of breaking changes together so they all come at once and you only have to deal with them once is fine.

What I am asking is, why did there even need to be a breaking change in the case of the function discussed in the article? No functionality changed; the Python standard library function was identical to the former Flask function. So why couldn't the Python standard library function have been imported into the Flask namespace to replace the former Flask function? Why force every user to do that manually?

If you’ve ever been at a Tesla charging station in the EU you’d know the cables are, in fact, not stiffer :).

Likely what will ship in the US is similar to the EU non-Tesla solution, where you just use their app.

Devs do free work for the world and hand it out as FOSS. UX people feel no compulsion to do the same so that's why we have the current state of things.

These are two separate skillsets that often don't overlap, you won't find many UX people contributing to open source projects.
Can Swift even be used for kernel development?
Technically true, but no one is going to make a zero ROI investment.

I mean, that is a hell of a life choice, but I guess if you assume that the government is always honest (see the Iraq war and many other things) and the IRS always interprets the documents they receive correctly (which they don't today - I have gotten letters from them which are blatantly wrong), that sounds good.

I understand that an hour is valuable, but that hour you spend checking your tax documents may be the highest-leverage hour of work you do that year.
Open Source is ... open source.

There is nothing wrong with chucking money at Archive to help with costs, provided that money does not come with menaces. The basic idea is that if you profit in some way from an open repository of ... something then why not contribute to it? If enough people/orgs contribute then we are all good. Otherwise, if the org behind the project is an individual doing it as a hobby and they can't afford to continue then they might need support.

In the end Archive and co have costs attached. You don't have to contribute but it might be nice if you did.
The companies where I worked like this didn't run services, they shipped releases. Which is how open source stuff generally works, although the income part can be a service (but not always)
They added features over time. Tesla took a black-box approach. The CCS connectors were designed around a legacy AC charging connector at the top, then added the two DC ports below. Tesla said "let's use the same for both" and then had to design an internal circuit to separate them.

Ask HN: Survey alleged cause of web UI standards pain
Many who have used a variety of tools agree that web UI's are a royal pain[1] to program, and that the industry should work together to rescue us from the Swiss Army Rocket Spaghetti that is modern browser web standards. But nobody agrees on where exactly the problem lies and how to fix it. Is the bottleneck DOM, JavaScript, CSS[2], out-of-touch W3C, or a combo?

I'd like to do a little survey to see what others think. You can list more than one number, but list the most important ones first.

Note, I'm not proposing the existing standards go away, only that we have alternatives or big enhancements.

Possible Solutions:

1. Good enough the way they are. Just buckle down and study more.

2. Should be split into 3 sub-standards:

A) Mostly static documents,
B) Art/Video/Gaming,
C) CRUD/Biz/Data/GUI. (There would be overlap where applicable.)

3. Revive and improve something akin to Java Applets. (Perhaps same as 2C?)

4. Revive and improve something akin to Flash. (Perhaps same as 2B?)

5. WASM (If DOM is the bottleneck, not sure how this will help, so please elaborate.)

6. Try them all, competition will ignite better ideas. (I'm not sure it's practical to split and dilute R&D.)

7. Other: ____________________

Also, do you think most of the formatting & layout computations should be done on the client or the server? I lean toward the server in order to keep the client simple. Complex clients create more versioning headaches. The client may have some simple layout engines, but include a "dumb coordinate" mode to allow a server's layout engine determine positions. (HTML/DOM can't do direct text positioning correctly/consistently.)

This is why you need laws.

Awesome! Would love to hear about your experience trying it now and seeing if we're doing any better for your use-case. :)
Could also be an interesting Pivot in the future - with more competition in the EV market (and a race to the bottom for pricing, combined with the need to get more and more batteries), maybe it's better for Tesla to get out of the car market (eventually) and into the "fuel" market.
And at some point, you'll feed all that stuff into GPT-(N+1) and get as many new shows as you want.
Do they? I don't know what the situation is in North America, but here the business model of fuel stations is to sell fuel at near-zero margin and make the profit from impromptu sales to fuel customers in the attached convenience store.
That sounds about right from the number of people who live in lower cost of living areas. People have a poor intuitive understanding of this -- they can't understand how someone could live on less than $15/hour because they live in New York City or San Francisco where that would be unreasonable. But it's much less unreasonable in Memphis or El Paso where things cost a lot less.

The real problem is that things, especially housing, still cost too much everywhere -- much worse in San Francisco, but not great no matter where you are in the US. Which requires higher wages to make a living, which puts pressure on employers to cut labor costs by making people do more with less. And then you get problems.

But employers can't just raise wages unilaterally -- if they paid more (and thereby raised prices), first of all that increases the cost of living even more, second of all the people who are already hurting because of the high cost of living are going to switch to any competitor who can offer a lower price, so the employers who do this lose to any that don't.

What we really need to do is lower the cost of living.
This will never change. The country is too big, it needs to be dissolved into much smaller units. If Belgium can exist as an independent state, surely NY can.

I wouldn't use them as an example of how to competently operate a business. They literally gave all of the investors' money away. They operated more like a charity than a business and if I were one of their investors I'd have been suing.
All official information mentions “shutting doors” and “winding down” and not necessarily a bankruptcy. For instance, in the same space, Shone just returned part of the equity to the investors, paid comp to the execs for a full year, and us, employees, got jackshit.
They weren't. The account had the SSN. The payment came under the other SSN. The filing was joint with both of our SSNs through the accountant. The agent I finally got on the phone after days confirmed that the problem was some mismatch between SSNs in the account, check, or filing.

Of course it was cleared up, but the point is that at least one of our SSNs was on everything. That should be a trivially easy for record merging or linking.

Wildly better developer experience. Playwright is also much less flakey and easier to work with than cypress, another alternative to selenium.

Selenium is quite outdated, though still widely used. It's much older. I would look at downloads over time / rate of change, not total downloads.

My hot take- don't hook yourselves to outdated tech.

Don't take my word for it- go try out selenium, Cypress, and playwright and draw your own conclusions.

That would require some anticompetitive behavior, you can't simply split things up because they are a monopoly.

Future behavior not-withstanding, Tesla will (correctly IMO) point at the opening up of NACS standard and the supercharger network as a defining anti-anti-competitive move.

I like the idea, and it's backed by science as far as I know. Looking into the distance for a while lets your eye muscles relax and reset from staring at something that is close to your eyes for an extended period.

Can you offer a free/cheaper version with less features? A short trial period does nothing to wet my appetite, it only makes me avoid the app so that I don't get addicted to it and end up spending money. Nothing against your product.
