Anecdata: I've sustained many more injuries from lifting than from any other activities, combined, in my life.

It's still absolutely worth it, but I'm not sure walking and lifting can be classed in the same category of "low impact".

Some advice from an old man: the risk-to-reward ratio of heavy deadlifts is too high, regardless of how perfect your form is. If you absolutely must do them, use the hex bar.
I can be surprised, in fact: it is my constitutional right to not be searched and they are a government entity.
Yeah admittedly this is a pain point. I ride subway/rail and use the Ventra app, which doesn't work with the 6300 due to the lack of NFC (my biggest use), cue the iPhone.

I wish we would get another 6300 with NFC, that would resolve the need to carry the iPhone. If I were less...ethical, I could just use my Flipper Zero and board that way.
This is a design flaw of all macbooks at the moment. Basically the keyboard is riveted into the top case and the battery is stuck to that as well. That means they have to pretty much transplant the logic board and the screen into another shell and stick a new battery in it as well.

This is the very definition of a shit show.

I have a 14" M1 MBP which I am selling next month as I have already switched to a ThinkPad T14 gen 3 running Windows 11. This is the keyboard replacement process for that: https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Lenovo+ThinkPad+T14+Gen+3+Keybo...
It was already swap-a-roo’ing since iOS 16, maybe even 15.

It also somehow misses simple corrections. Try it right now, it doesn’t know that “ennencuiate” should correct to “enunciate”. Or even “dejline” to “decline”.

What’s worst about the swap—a-roo’ing is that it will replace a common logical word in a sentence with something seldom-used.

Like, it’d correct “overwhelmingly just not how it works” to “ontologically just not how it works”.
The politician in this article is not a senator in the US federal government, who would work in Washington DC, but a senator in the Washington State government, whose capital is Olympia. He represents a heavily forested rural district whose largest city has 38,000 people, very much the kind of place where carrying a gun is common. You joke about the Wild West but that is exactly what this is about; frontier mentality has not yet vanished in rural parts of the American West.

I’m not a mathematician; maybe I got lucky with my approach. Crucially this is a brain teaser so it plays by the rules of a game. I formulated an hypothesis by starting from the assumption that they give you a satisfactory fighting chance.
over a year ago, you told me on this platform that elon is an incredible engineer. Do you still think so?
Desperately still do.

I've been an Android user for over a decade but haven't bought a phone for myself for a while. Samsung won't update the Galaxy S8 any more and my bank decided it was too old to run their app.

The others in my family are iPhone users and I dragged an iPhone 7 out of the drawer to give it a go. Now that google's apps and Chrome are native on the platform you can set up an iPhone as almost completely a google experience.

Embarrassingly all the google services work better on an iPhone than they do on Android. I used it for a day and liked it so much I picked up a newer iPhone and transferred to that.

It will take something really bad to send me back to Android - you end up being a 2nd class citizen running Android especially around security and the amazing face recognition unlock that Apple have implemented.

However, it's pretty troubling in terms of competition - the iPhone will hit a critical mass where choosing Android will be wilfully silly.

> by the lower number of accidents that AVs are involved in per distance travelled compared to human-driven vehicles

Just a note that this number is hard to calculate accurately with an acceptable degree of certainty.

Anyone claiming that AVs are involved in fewer accidents per distance traveled than human drivers is either extrapolating from incomplete data or baking some unreliable assumptions into their statement.

Welch Labs has a good introductory video to this topic: https://youtu.be/yaYER2M8dcs?si=XEB4aWlYf6gnnTqM

Off topic but i just want to share that yesterday I was traveling, and in a residential area (a village) that nobody has stepped a foot in in 30 years, I was caught "speeding". I was going 75 in a 40kph zone.

I don't get why it's 40kms. The traffic sign wasn't even visible, although that's not an excuse that would or should work. It's not like anyone lives there.

Anywho, I paid 150 euros and now I have to go to court, where they will 99.9% take my drivers license away for 3 months. Fucking bullshit.

I study law in uni. I don't get why these archaic villages that nobody has stepped a foot in for a long time are still considered residential areas, limiting how fast you can legally go. I thought the whole point of the law was to serve society and it's interests, and not to fill the state budget by being caught "speeding" in an area where the speed limit shouldn't realistically be that low, but alas it doesn't seem so

Like, I live in a village too, but it's got a population of over 1k as opposed to 0.

Recently I did some work on a project that was originally built using the LoopBack Typescript framework [0], and it suffers from all of the same issues as NestJS. I wouldn't recommend anyone use either framework. There's really no need for dependency injection in NodeJS. The problems DI solves in other languages can be better solved in NodeJS by other means.

> To fix them, you need to run some arcane commands

At least you can fix them.

Also, sorry can't help the cheap shot: how is typing "arcane commands" any different than clicking on "gnostic glyphs"? Anything can sound complex if you want it to :)

I'm not disputing your experiences but it's so surprising to me. I exclusively use Linux on the desktop on numerous devices, some of which seem like prime candidates for the types of issues you mention, but I've not had any major problems in literal years, especially since switching to the zen kernel.

It's always a shame when people don't like the things you do I guess.
Yeah, if anything, my Tesla’s issues seem to stem from being overly concerned about accidents than being recklessly dangerous.
They’ve practically given up on Windows, too, considering it stays put while macOS continues year by year to improve by adding useful features and ecosystem integration.
“The long tail” are usually what causes safety issues, though. Easily identifiable and relatively high probability events are the ones more commonly mitigated. The low-probability events are the ones that tend to fall through the cracks and tend not to be obvious except in hindsight.
"I'm sorry, I can't discuss confidential information. That's not something I can share outside the company. However, if you have specific scenarios/architectures/services in mind, I can discuss in how I might go about building or upgrading such a thing?"

If they keep pressing, walk away, man. That's just setting yourself up for a protracted legal battle between the two companies, and the new employer would probably throw you under the bus as soon as it happens ("We'd never do something like that, the new guy volunteered the info!")

If you actually have a NDA, now's the time to use it. If you don't, but feel icky about it, just be firm that you can't share confidential information. It's not worth sacrificing your professional and personal integrity.
over a year ago, on this platform, you were praising how amazing elon was. do you still think so?
the hardware was amazing - you'd get top of the line processor / screen and memory for a few hundred bucks. The OS was great too; so much nicer than the "pages of apps" on other phones, mostly because there never were pages of apps available on a windows phone :(
"It also doesn't take into account the transport to and from your door on both ends."

This type of design is terrible for average health outcomes [1]. We should not be optimizing for this. Walking to the bus stop is a good outcome. We should optimize for better more frequent bus routes, but "door-to-door" is unnecessary and counter-effectual.

The rest (iteration speed, filling a bus to the brim etc.) are just political problems just as intangible as "lets build better roads (public infrastructure) for autonomous cars", so we can put that aside.

I don't think the OP trolled them. It's their mistake, and he pointed out the mistake. "We'll hire a contractor to do whatever they want with your computer, or you go to jail." is not a fair way of resolving the situation. It cover's the mistake-maker's ass at great cost to the person who reported the mistake.

Would you ever use a computer again if someone else of unknown intent had unlimited access to it for an extended period of time? I certainly wouldn't.

The suggested remedy isn't even effective. You can't prove that you deleted something. It could all be on an SD card buried under a rock somewhere, regardless of what the consultant finds.

Frankly, given the track record of cooperation, the first offer should have been "just delete them and sign an affidavit attesting to that" which is exactly what happened.
It's not that simple. The political parties mostly support changes in this direction. Surely 33% of the population is not going to have the same views on the economy, taxes, welfare systems etc. even though they agree on this topic.

Furthermore, Iceland has held the 1st position on the World Economic Forum's Global Gender Gap report for 14 consecutive years [1], so it's not like things are really bad compared to the rest of the world.

This strike is primarily to draw attention to the fact that the rate of change has stalled, and that needs to change.

I worked for Apple Authorized Service Providers for over ten years and Apple's documentation is extremely basic at best. Step by step guides that explain how a part should be replaced, what tools they "require", ect. iFixit docs are essentially the same and sometimes much more detailed then Apple's bare documentation.

Although the diagnostics can be helpful sometimes, these are also extremely basic diagnostics, nothing that you would praise Apple for creating.

The only thing that might be useful for third party providers is Apple's Screen Calibration machine, which is the only exciting tool that we ever received from Apple(for ridiculous amount of money). I'm sure independent providers found a way around all of these things many moons ago but it's good to know going forward that they can have the same tools for extraordinary prices.
I use a $300 second hand W540 maxed out on RAM (32G, I don't think it would take 16G modules but I haven't looked into that, this is sufficient) with two external monitors attached. Uses a tiny bit of power compared to the desktop that it replaced (when I switched the house over to solar power I did a conservation exercise first and my desktop was one of the worst offenders) and everything works as far as I can tell. This box has been up and running for two years non-stop now, the only big change I made to the original is to put a nice fat SSD in it and to remove the battery because it never gets unplugged anyway. As OS I use Ubuntu Studio which makes for a nice development platform for music related software.

> If a human being had done that they would have absolutely had the book thrown at them.

Really? If they had been in a car accident caused by another driver, and took a few seconds to pull over because they were unaware they were dragging a person initially hit by the other driver, they would have been charged?

It's very hard to hold people responsible, and it's telling that you had to cite such a grisly and outrageous example. Unless you're drunk or it's a hit-and-run, you're unlikely to face any charges beyond a traffic violation.

> You watch, someone will start offering insurance for that liability.

Of course? Exactly like we've mandated for human drivers since the 1970s?

All this hand-wringing about things that we've accepted our whole lives with human drivers.

I'll say it again: we need data-driven approach to figuring out when autonomous vehicles reach the threshold of becoming less deadly than human drivers. If we jump the gun and allow widespread adoption too soon, people will die unnecessarily. If we drag our feet and allow widespread adoption too late, people will die unnecessarily.

The thought occurred to me some years ago that a key aspect of governmental institutions is their durability, particularly in the face of adversarial politics. Though the inefficiency of government services is quite often grossly exaggerated, there's much consideration which has to be made of the trade-offs between efficiency and durability.

This should be front-of-mind whenever someone proposes a start-up to address some long-standing social, societal, and/or political issues:

<https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12345506>

The other institutional forms which seem to tend toward durability are educational and religious institutions. Which often overlap considerably.

You can put Linux Mint on a bootable USB and try it, to see if it works well with your hardware. Mint is a great first Linux for former Windows users, since its desktop has a similar layout and it comes with a lot of free, good software, and maybe the best GUI software package manager ever.

Other distros have other advantages - I'm a happy NixOS user now - but Mint makes an excellent first Linux.

Okay, then the security model of Android can be that you run trusted apps from a signed repository (say, f-droid). If you don't install apps that aren't from a publisher you trust, both OSs should be fine. If you do, then the only advantage of PureOS is that it's less likely to be targeted, not that it actually has better security.

Edit: As a worked example, let's say the app for some social network does something nasty. If they released their app for PureOS, it would still do something nasty. If they don't release such an app, then you can't use it, but you could also just not use it on Android and enjoy the same security.
Can anyone explain why servers are now more useful for longer than they used to be? I feel the world is spinning faster, and new tech comes out faster. Especially with faster networking and more compute.

In the document they mention this:

In January 2023, we completed an assessment of the useful lives of our servers and network equipment and
adjusted the estimated useful life of our servers from four years to six years and the estimated useful life of certain
network equipment from five years to six years. This change in accounting estimate was effective beginning in fiscal
year 2023, and the effect was a reduction in depreciation expense of $977 million and $2.9 billion and an increase
in net income of $761 million and $2.3 billion, or $0.06 and $0.18 per basic and $0.06 and $0.18 per diluted share
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively.

What? No it doesn’t, you need to know how big it is for that, and most people don’t have a sense of scale that encompasses either the full size of Earth (how far have you tried hiking, even over multiple days? If it was the Pacific Crest Trail congrats but you’re unusual) nor the size range of planets.

Most stars (and galaxies) can be described with the same words I just used for Pluto, but stars and galaxies are thousands to trillions of times further away than Pluto.
I've already opt-in to the new app and it's already showing the ads.

It's one small text ad, formatted to look like an email message card. I quickly learned to ignore it.

And no one is forcing anyone to use this app. You can use webmail, Thunderbird, etc...

I still prefer this app with the ad to opening gmail in the browser.
My macbook air does this as well. This isn't limited to newer phones. I checked mine, I have an iPhone 12, and this option is in there. According to the support page it's available on iOS 13+.

That’s true, but remember that these are government employees. All business that they conduct is a matter of public record by definition. They are required by our laws to maintain a record of all actions and communications, which anyone is allowed to consult. Technically they’re not supposed to use government resources for private communication, and legally they are not allowed to use _private_ communication resources for _public_ business.
Now, if we had an unlimited number of doctors this wouldn't be near the problem (why we have a limited number of doctors is a different question). If a huge portion of the US population wasn't old relative to the part of the population that is young, this wouldn't be near the problem. If a massive portion of the US population wasn't... um... massive, well then this wouldn't as much of a problem.

But the country we are left with has too few doctors, too many old people, and too many unhealthy people. We can argue until we're blue on why that is the case, but that does nothing to change that your doctor has about 5 minutes with you and an entire waiting room full of patients today, tomorrow, and the everyday after that to the point they are turning patients away in most places.

Good. These things have been a real danger around my neighborhood. They are not currently safe. They do not understand crosswalks, and will drive towards pedestrians who are on them until they move.

Not sure that's fair - the number of accidents in human-driven vehicles varies significantly by the human driving it. Do you compare with the teen that just obtained their license and is more interested in their phone than in driving properly, or the 65-year old doctor who's been driving for work and other purposes every day for the past 40 years? According to https://injuryfacts.nsc.org/motor-vehicle/overview/age-of-dr... it's at least a 6x difference.

I too had an N9, and while I wouldn't describe it as amazing, it was reasonably good for the time and probably the best we've ever had in terms of a functional multitouch "linux phone".

IMO what killed it was the closed off nature of Harmattan and the lack of support from Nokia in encouraging hacking the OS. No reproducible firmware, no trivial flashing of community builds standing on the shoulders of what Nokia shipped on the phone. We'd be in a very different place today had the N9 been where the PinePhone is in terms of ability to easily derive and swap out distros, and the vibrant community this enables.
